Photography How-To ~ Make Your Own LimboPod

Changing your perspective can be invigorating for your lifestyle and your photographs. After all, we pretty much all view the world from a standing/straight forward view. If we shoot images from this common point-of-view, how can we expect our images to look, well, better than common?

Instead, changing our point-of-view is a great trick for spicing up our photography. And to help with this task, I’m going to show you how to make a super simple, super stable, super inexpensive, super low, LimboPro of your very own.

OK, am I the only person that sits at a traffic light and thinks, ‘what if I could have all this time waiting at this red light BACK?’ Well, newsflash…we can’t, but I have found something similar.

Add Watermarks To Your Photograph Online

Nowadays its more important than ever to place watermarks on your images. Watermarks deter people from wanting to steal your images and it makes it easier for someone to contact you when they want to actually pay you for your creations.

So how in the world are you suppose to add a watermark to your images if you don’t own or understand Photoshop. If you don’t own Photoshop watch the video below. If you do own Photoshop but aren’t quite sure what to do, watch this and also consider this.

Photo Processing RAW vs. JPG

I get emails regularly asking about the camera RAW file format. I’ve discovered that people usually shoot in either RAW or JPG file formats, for various reasons. I’m sure RAW shooters are saying, “Why would anyone shoot in JPG?” And JPG shooters are saying similar things about RAW shooters.

Both formats have their advantages, as I explained in this RAW vs. JPG post. If you’re not comfortable processing your images or don’t have the time, JPG is probably a good fit for you. Just like your camera in auto mode, the JPG format will give you good shots about 80% of the time. It’s that pesky 20% of the time when you need the data loaded in the RAW version to be able to make more substantial adjustments to an image. If your exposure is tack on and you really don’t need to make any changes after the shot (and you don’t plan on printing the image very large) then a JPG file will be just fine. It’s when you have a highlight to tame or a shadow to lighten that things can start coming unraveled. Take a look >>>

While shooting large, information-crammed RAW images isn’t for everyone, I want you to understand the benefits of RAW and not avoid it simply because it is an unknown.
