And here’s another photography competition to try out for. Life Framer are running the competition, asking for photographs to be submitted along the theme of ‘An instant’.
Winners get their photos printed framed and exhibited in a London gallery and win $400, so can’t all be bad eh.
In April, Nikon is opening a school in London to encourage people to embrace the wonderful world of photography. Ok it’s not free, but if you want some top quality hands on training, you could do a lot worse than go to the source – so to speak – and learn from Nikon!
The school is based at Nikon’s centre of Excellence near Oxford Circus, in London. Typically course fees are £119+, although they are currently running a £20 discount if you book before May 1st 2013.
Following on in our series of HDR photography articles, (don’t forget to read Davide’s how-to guide for creating your own HDR images), we’ve put together a collection of some great examples of HDR photography. HDR techniques are often used to dramatically change the appearance of an image, turning it more into a painting or picture rather than a photo sometimes. However, the best results are often found when using HDR more sparingly. Enjoy looking through the photos below and don’t forget to click through to the photographer’s websites to see more excellent pics.
I was fortunate enough to visit the London 2012 Olympics during the athletics, so thought it would be an ideal opportunity to try out the Canon 50D (thanks James). I’ve previously tested out both the Canon 40D, and Canon 60D, so putting the 50D through its paces seemed like a good idea!
I took with me my trusty Sigma 70-300mm telephoto lens, as well as the Canon 17-40mm F4L for any wide-angle shots.
London has many great locations to take a decent photograph. After a day of exploring London I’ve put together a collection of some of the best places and example photos taken at each location.
I used a Canon 1DS Mark 1 digital SLR, with a Canon 17-40mm L lens for the majority of photos, I also used a tripod which was very handy once it started getting dark. It’s possible to balance a camera on flat surfaces a lot of the time, however this isn’t always the case.
