By On July 23, 2010 No Comments

I have put together a basic list of the key points to work through when organising a Green Screen Chroma Key shoot. These are the most common questions and possible pit-falls that seem to occur.  If in doubt it’s always best to ask your Green Screen studio for advice on any of these points as they are involved in film shoots everyday, all year round.

The Green Screen location is such an important factor as clients, talent and crew all need to be able to get the studio easily and on time.

You decide this is a great idea as while getting to display your favuorite photos you also have a less expensive alternative to a traditional painting. Excited with the whole idea, you browse through your numerous photographs to select images to be printed. Thing is, after minutes or maybe hours of looking over them, you find that the actual process of “selecting” can be quite hard. All of a sudden that one treasured image turns into dozens.

By Jerry J. Jansen On July 22, 2010 No Comments

The 123 Digital Imaging interactive learning suite was first developed in 2001 by Vincent Bockaert to provide up to date photographic information to both amateur and professional photographers in an interactive format. Here we are almost ten years later and the 123 of digital imaging is as up to date as ever, something not easily accomplished in the fast paced digital photography niche. This is the beauty of the product, and shows the true dedication that Vincent and his crew have in keeping this fabulous product up to date. No wonder the imaging suite is popular with schools and government bodies such as police departments and the Armed Forces. As well, many of the industry’s top manufacturers such as Intel, Nikon, Epson and others use The 123di Interactive Learning Suite for internal training. High praise indeed!

I purchased my first copy of The 123di Interactive Learning SuiteV2 about 6 years ago, moved up to version 4 a few years back and recently updated to their most recent release, version 6.2. Digital imaging has changed incredibly in this short period of time and while I found these earlier versions to be very well

By On July 21, 2010 No Comments

Great camera Fantastic Lens!After what seemed like weeks looking through endless reviews that carved the D3000 and D5000, and my decision after reading the thoughts of Ken Rockwell on Live-view and video mode. However â?¦ Ken Rockwell stated previously, a complete verification that is moving the D3000 for a suggested the D40 or D60 â?¦ Seems to have changed his mind since then book a bit â??.

The great thing about the D3000 is its use as a learning tool for guiding characteristic modes. I think that opens up new possibilities for users of a new digital SLR for technical to understand. My advice is that the experiment â?¦ Machine is a great experiment, but leads to a rewarding hobby.The next step for me â?¦ The objective VR 55-200 mm.

By the way â?¦. Make sure that the kit comes with a lens VR â?¦ Splendid!

Excellent entry camera Some of the negative
