Disney Pic of the Week: Animal Kingdom Landscape

Posted on by AllEars
For Animal Kingdom I had to look back into my archives. These days it is difficult to get a panoramic or landscape photo without people in it.

At the time, I used some un-Disney like photos to show the difference between each mode. I thought a side by side comparison would be helpful … Continue reading "Metering Modes Revisited"

Cloning Around

Posted on by Scott Thomas
A couple of months ago I started using Apple’s Aperture 2 photo application. The photo editor in Aperture is much better than anything I’ve ever used. While not a true graphics editor like Photoshop, Aperture does have some tools which are helping me make great photographs from not-so-great ones. Like this photo of a performer … Continue reading "Cloning Around"
