Welcome to my site

.................

First off, i have been wanting to learn photography for years and always wanted a good camera.

befor my wedding i bought myself a small digital camera from Canon (IXUS 70) it had 7 mega pixles and had some great features! like macro, super macro and aquarium mode too! (i am a fish geek and love taking pictures of my fish) so after that i went to south africa on my honeymoon and took many photos that made my parents and friends go WOW nice shots! so after that i was ditermend to learn more and see what i can do.

That was a year ago! Now i bought the Canon 400D DSLR camera!!! its a professional camera with all manual and automatic controls! im so happy to have found a GREAT deal on a used camera

it was only used for 40days, had the Kit lens included 18-55mm and all guarantees included PLUS a SIGMA wide angle lens 10-20mm with warantee!!!! i was so0o happy!

so i have been learning as much as i can about this camera and reading as many courses and training ideas.

Welcome to the photography world i would like to start with talking about the basic equipment one would choose to become a good photographer

>>>THE CAMERA<<<

.........When we talk about good photography we are talking about SLR or Digital SLR cameras, meaning Single Lense Reflex cameras. You control them manualy and change the lenses to suite your need (zooming, Macro, ect...) you can even add filters that change the colors and glare of the scenese you take. ..

There are so many kinds of cameras out there i could start by naming the best three on the line

.
.
.

..........The cameras above are all digital, they started from film SLR cameras which many people still use and swear by. but with the world changing and the fact that you can view your image right after you shoot them is a huge save from film and the time it takes to develoe the photos.

.........Currently i am using the Canon 400D DSLR camera. it has 10 mega pixles with a new improved viewing screen. I got it with the kit lens 18-55 mm and a Sigma wide angle 10-20 mm. they both are very good lenses and if you are purchasing a camera yourself, i suggest you go with the kit lens with your camera since its a great starter lens with a good range of zoom.

How to use photoshop CS3 to make a similare image to this one

Here i will explain how to edit an image to resemble the blacked out and enhanced colours in this image here of the clown fish

....STEP ONE....

After uploading an image, go to the side bar and select the SPONGE tool, you will find it under the DODGE tool which will be visible until you change the tool to the sponge tool

....STEP TWO....

Here you select the FLOW rate of the brush to 100%

....STEP THREE....

Then select the MODE to DISATURATE

....STEP FOUR....

Now select the brush DIAMETER, then the HARDNESS to 100

....STEP FIVE....

here you start to paint the parts you want to black and white, you may have to paint over and over to reach the result yopu want,
and if you want pure black and white you may have to paint over about ten times in the areas you want

....STEP SIX....

try ZOOMING in more to help not smudge the edges and have perfect sharp colored edges. this will help you a lot.

....STEP SEVEN....

here you finaly finished painting the areas you want black and white

....STEP EIGHT....

Now we start the BURN tool that will darken areas if you wish to do so.

....STEP NINE....

Then select the RANGE to HIGHLIGHTS

....STEP TEN....

you can darken the areas until you reach the darkness you want. you may have to paint over until you reach that darkness

....STEP ELEVEN....

Now we will darken the colors to enhance them and show them off more
select the RANGE to MILDTONES then color over the colored areas only do not touch the black and white areas
use the zoom tool to stay away from the edges and stay within the colored areas

....STEP TWELVE....

you can see how you must color over a few times to reach the tone you want

and your done!
