In this month, I am going to go over more detailed image processing from start to finish. This tutorial uses pictures form a cell phone and goes over how the image is processed.

So to begin, I am going to show the image we are working with. This is directly from the cellphone, and is a simple jpg. Nothing special. In fact the picture came out pretty blah, and I realized it needs quite a bit of fixing, and what is missing.

Hi Folks,

This month I am diverging from hardware and mechanical setups and instead focusing on post processing pictures and what editors to use when cost is paramount.

So what software is best?

Well that's subjective, and difficult to say, but when cost is not an issue, photoshop is best. It handles about anything.

The one way to get a older copy is via ebay and get something like CS5 or CS6 for around a few hundred.

Hi folks,

Last month I discussed the selection and usage of lighting gear and how the selection of lights play an important role in your photos.

Last month I wrote about tripod selection, and this month it's about selection and placement of light sources

Since we only have daylight for half the day, and assuming you get home and want to photograph your lady, you will need artificial light to compliment or replace sunlight.

What does it take to get those vivid well lit photographs?  Have you had your camera for a while, and wonder how to get better lit shots?
