Craft & Vision has delivered another great eBook on digitally refining your photos this month. The new release, “Essential Development”, covers 20 techniques for Adobe Lightroom 4. It was written by Lightroom guru and first time Craft & Vision author Seán McCormack. The eBook is over 120 pages and packed with info. Whether you are new to Lightroom or are a seasoned user there is definitely something here for you to learn.

Seán starts with a basic brief on Lightroom and what the advantage is to using it. The eBook goes in depth very quickly. Although much of the info is the same for various versions of Lightroom, this eBook is specifically aimed at Lightroom 4 users. Lots has changed since Lightroom 3.

There are a lot of interesting techniques in here, from playing with white balance to “faking” HDR”. I particularly enjoyed the extensive section on retouching and digital make up. I currently use Photoshop for these purposes but Seán’s techniques have opened my eyes even wider to the possibilities of Lightroom. He brushes adjustments like clarity combined with dodging and burning to create a really beautiful effect.

Throughout the rest of the eBook Sean talks about a lot more than just editing portraits. He talks about stuff like fixing skies and creating a tilt shift effect. Sharpening, noise reduction, and lens correction are covered in detail. Towards the end he covers presets and batch editing. Finally he touches on the limits of Lightroom and talks about taking things like panoramas and HDR images into Photoshop.

An original image of mine edited using two of the presets from the eBook package.

If you want some more help in Lightroom, you can buy the eBook packaged with 85 presets for you to use on your own images. These can help speed up your editing and help you understand how Lightroom works and what is possible. Personally, I found the presets to be fairly limited and wouldn’t use them on my own work. But I’ve never been a fan of presets; some will find them very useful. I should also note that for the next week the eBook + preset package only costs an extra dollar.

Like usual, this eBook is an excellent value- it crams a ton of information in for a very low price. Purchasing it with the presets will add a lot of value for some users; though like I said, I won’t use them. As for the eBook, like most of Craft & Vision’s releases, I highly recommend it.

With winter right around the corner, beautiful natural light is becoming a lot harder to find. Fortunately for those who love the appearance of natural light, like myself, it can be mimicked using strobe. Today, Craft & Vision is releasing an eBook called Great Light Easy Light that details how to do just this; creating great photographs that don’t look artificially lit.

This is Kevin Clark’s first time as an author for Craft & Vision. Admittedly, I had never heard of him before, but after seeing his images and reading his eBook I am a big Kevin Clark fan. His portraits are very modern, clean, and beautiful, and the control he has over his lighting and depth of field is remarkable. If you are a portrait photographer, either amateur or professional, Kevin should definitely be on the list of photographers you watch.

Kevin first explains mixing a single strobe with ambient light. Techniques like this don’t require a lot of expensive gear, he simply recommends a small flash and medium sized softbox (I linked those to the products I use), as well as obviously some way to take the flash off camera. As the eBook progresses, Kevin talks about one various one light, two light, and even three light setups. There are a lot of tips and tricks to be picked up along the way. He includes lighting diagrams, BTS shots, and everything thing to need to apply his lighting techniques and knowledge to your work. The idea isn’t to provide you with setups to simply copy, but to show you what he does and why he does it in a variety of situations so you can create your own lighting set ups.

A photo I shot on 4×5 film using strobe to mimic natural light

 I have been using various lighting techniques for quite some time, and I have even taken a few university courses based heavily on lighting. Despite my past experience I feel I learned immensely from this eBook. There a lot of things that I will put to use in my client work and personal work alike. While it’s not a particularly long eBook, it’s packed with great info and I’m sure many people will refer to it over and over again.

In the world of lighting, and photography in general, $5 ($4 with discount code EASY4) is pretty cheap, especially for something as high quality as this eBook. Enjoy the photographs, they are gorgeous, and soak in the information. Kevin Clark has done a fantastic job here, and I definitely will be paying attention to his work in the future.

This month Craft & Vision is releasing an eBook that is right up my alley: one about landscape photography. Portraits of Earth: An Introduction to Landscape Photography was written by my favorite author, David duChemin. I had extremely high hopes for this eBook as it is my favorite author talking about one of my favorite subjects, and I was not disappointed in the least. As usual, Craft & Vision has delivered a fantastic release at a steal of a price. Portraits of Earth looks at landscape photography through a unique perspective, that of someone who is not just a landscape photographer and never planned on being one. Like all of David’s works, this eBook is filled with gorgeous images that will inspire you and well crafted writing that will teach you new things. If landscape photography interests you at all I highly recommend you pick this one up. As is usually the case with Craft & Vision, you really can’t go wrong for $4 (using code EARTH4).

A recent one of my own landscape photographs 

This eBook wouldn’t be complete without quite a bit of gear talk, which David gets too right away. He talks about lenses and the other high end gear he uses, but this eBook is not trying to sell you anything. These days you can take a pretty good landscape photo with your iPhone, however a serious landscape photographer needs good glass and a good tripod (Both of those are linked to the products I personally use).

After lots of talk about lenses, tripods, and filters, David moves to talking about light. Types of light are discussed, such as soft light and dramatic light. David talks about what type of light he looks for, and shows examples. He talks about using line in your images, including a rant about the so called “rule of thirds”. Specific components of landscapes are discusses, such as physical land and water. He even talks about snow, which Canadians like myself will appreciate it as we have to photograph in the snow for 6 months a year. After a few more tips and tricks David wraps it up.

My only complaint about Portraits of Earth is that the flow of words isn’t quite as good as you usually see in something published by Craft & Vision. In my advance copy a few sentences continued awkwardly across two pages that had an image or other page in between. It’s not a big deal, but I just thought I would mention it since I think the eBook is perfect in literally every other way.

If you pick up the eBook before 11:59 PST on September 9th, use the code EARTH4 to get it for $4 (afterwards it will be $5). If you buy 5 or more eBooks from the Craft & Vision collection use the code EARTH20 to get 20% off your purchase.

Today, Craft & Vision is releasing “Finding Focus“, written by Nicole S. Young. Unfortunately I am out of the country and did not have time to read the eBook, however I did skim through it before I left. I wrote this before I left and set it to publish. The eBook is a technical and in-depth look at topics such as aperture, depth of field, lens compression, and more. Nicole also talks lots about how to focus, both in camera and in software. Though the eBook is not a particularly long one, at 37 spreads, it is full of a lot of great info. As usual, you won’t get a better value for $4 in the photography industry (or many others). Nicole walks you through using focus stacking in Photoshop, something which I have never paid much attention to. I will definitely try it out in some personal work when I’m back, and I can already see some great ways to put it to use for my clients. This alone makes the eBook worth it for me, and it’s only one small part of the eBook.

I highly recommend you pick up “Finding Focus”; it is a great resource on focussing, using depth of field, lens compression, and much more.

Check out “Finding Focus” here (Use discount code FOCUS4 to get the eBook for $4 before August 19th)

“Dodge & Burn”, an exciting new eBook from Craft & Vision is available today. The author is Piet Van den Eynde, who you may remember from his two “Making Light” eBook’s about off camera flash, as well as the “The Power of Black & White in Adobe Lightroom”. The new eBook is excellent, but it’s a bit different than usual. Craft & Vision is breaking their normal formula and trying something different. $5 will get you the eBook, as usual, plus a lite version of a custom Photoshop pane for dodging and burning. However, for $10 ($8 with discount code below) you can get the “full” package. The package includes the eBook, the full photoshop panel, and 10 images from the book so you can follow along and do your own experimenting. One thing to note is that all of this is specific for Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6, so those with older software won’t be able to use the exercise files. The Photoshop panel is compatible with both CS5 and CS6. Those with older software will still pick up the general ideas and learn lots of tips and techniques about dodging and burning. I highly recommend the book in its $5 “Lite” version as it is an excellent source of knowledge. In reality, it isn’t very “lite” as it is a 93 page eBook. I’ll talk more about the “Full” version at the end of this review.

Initially I wasn’t too excited about Craft & Vision breaking their usual formula for this release; however they have created something excellent here. Craft & Vision has added a hole new level of knowledge and learning to this release; although it does come at a higher price.

This is not an eBook simply about using the dodge (lighten) and burn (darken) tools in photoshop. This eBook is about selectively lightening and darkening images through multiple methods across multiple pieces of software. Dodging and burning have always been important parts of photography. They have become much easier and much more  used in digital darkrooms such as Photoshop and Lightroom. You can accomplish many different things through dodging and burning, however the goal generally is to increase the dynamic range of your image; diverting attention toward or away from elements within the image. Piet starts by talking about the digital tools he uses and the order in which he uses them (following the “path of least resistance”, something I am a big fan of). Piet doesn’t limit the discussion to selective (brush) tools; using adjustments like the HSL and Tone Curve panels in Lightroom can also selectively darken and brighten areas. Piet covers some new and exciting things in Photoshop and Lightroom; the price of this eBook is worth it for me just to see things that I overlook due to how they performed in older software. After covering “global” ways to selectively darken and brighten your images, Piet moves onto Lightroom’s (and Camera Raw’s) graduated filter and adjustment brush. Throughout the eBook Piet shows you these techniques in use on his images; both before and after. If you purchase the “Full” version, then you can follow along on your own computer, which is a fantastic way to learn. If you use Nik software, or are interested in learning to use it, Piet covers programs like Viveza, Color Efex, Silver Efex, and even Snapseed. Piet ends with a some detailed Photoshop and summary of how he works through an image.

  Both of these images I recently took make use of extensive dodging and burning in Lightroom. 

Dodging and burning is as important as it has ever been, only now it doesn’t require that you are a darkroom expert.  No matter what you shoot, you could be improving your images through everything from global sliders to selective brushing with a Wacom Tablet (which I use, and highly recommend).  Picking up either version of this eBook is a great first step towards making stronger, more attractive images. Personally, I would just buy the “Lite” version and read the eBook, however I been taught lots of the years about dodging and burning. If this is new to you, or if you feel you have a lot to learn, I would go with the “Full” version. Working through the exercise files is a fantastic way to learn, and the Photoshop panel (which comes with a corresponding actions set) is a great way for you to jump into dodging and burning. The panel comes with a 13 page PDF explaining how to use it. I also would recommend the “Full” package to those always looking to optimize their workflows. Panels and action sets can be invaluable, and for the next week it will only cost you $3 more to get them with your eBook (using the discount code below).

A macro photograph I recently took for a project.

Macro photography is a very unique type of photography. It allows you to see and share things that you have never seen before. It also provides a wealth of subjects that are often only a few feet outside your door. In addition, many photo essays, or other bodies of work that I see could benefit from a few “detail” shots such as macro photographs. Knowing your way around macro photography, and purchasing the right tools for the job can enable you to create fantastic images.

Getting into macro photography may be intimidating, but luckily today marks the release  of a fantastic new resource to help you. Craft & Vision’s latest eBook is called “Up Close”. It’s a guide to macro and close up photography written by Andrew S. Gibson. Andrew also wrote Beyond Thirds, Andes, The Magic of Black and White (I, II, & III), and The Evocative Image for Craft & Vision. He has also written several eBooks on his own, including one of my all time favorites: Square.

Andrew is an excellent teacher; this eBook is not all technical terms or gear you should buy. Nor is it just filled with beautiful photographs. It is a well balanced combination of all of these. The eBook starts with the technical: clearing up misconceptions about sensor size and magnification. He goes on to talk about your options for macro equipment in great detail. Close up lenses, extension tubes, and even reverse mounting lenses to change your minimum focussing distance are all covered. Andrew shoots Canon and his equipment examples reflect this, however I still recommend the eBook to users of other camera systems. All of the Canon specific terminology is easily translatable.

A great thing about the in depth discussion on your equipment options is that many of them are very affordable. Andrew doesn’t use particularly expensive equipment, yet he captures very beautiful images. This will be a great inspiration for those who don’t have a huge budget for macro photography equipment. Though I would call some of these options “unorthodox”, they are viable and might be perfect for you. Personally I shoot with a Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens and would highly recommend it. At around $700 it’s on the low side of higher end lens prices. The lens allows me to capture photographs like the one on the right of a grasshopper that snuck inside my house.

Throughout the eBook Andrew shows lots of examples of macro photography; both in the real world, as well as studio shots illustrating different concepts. He talks about sharpness, focussing, depth of field, and more. Finally he has two case studies featuring macro photographers. One of the featured photographers is Mandy Disher, who’s work with insects and flowers absolutely blew me away. The beauty of her photos has inspired me to work on improving my own macro photography this summer.

As they usually do, Craft & Vision has released an excellent eBook. If you are at all interested in macro photography, whether you are just looking to get into it or are relatively experienced, I would recommend picking up this eBook. At only $4 for the next six days (using promo code CLOSE4), you are getting huge value for your money. It’s well worth it for the information on equipment alone, which could save you a lot of money. You are also getting some great tips on technique and some beautiful photographs to inspire you to create your own.

Some photos of mine taken with an iPhone 4S over the last month

iPhone photography becomes more and more popular every single day. All of a sudden, everybody has a fantastic camera in their pocket all of the time. When I was traveling recently I noticed it was by far the most common camera I saw. Quite frankly, the pictures I was taking with my Canon 7D are not necessarily “better” than the ones these people were taking with their camera phones. The pictures were just different. In skilled hands, there is no reason why you cannot take a great photo using an iPhone, or any other camera phone. Don’t get me wrong, there are huge limitations, but there are also huge advantages. Your camera phone is always with you. You can take it places where a professional camera would not be allowed. You can shoot, edit, and share almost instantly. So no matter what level of photographer you are, you really should be familiar with the possibilities and capabilities of camera phones. For that reason I take great pleasure in introducing the latest Craft & Vision eBook to you: “eyePhone”, by first time C&V author Al Smith.

Al begins by talking about his journey into iPhone photography, though he quickly points out that the brand doesn’t matter. This eBook is definitely iPhone specific as it talks mainly about apps and accessories only available for iPhone. However, much of the eBook is still very relevant for those exploring other camera phones as a medium. He also makes an interesting point about the iPhone providing an escape, a place of refuge, for photographers. I completely agree. Using my DSLR to take personal pictures can feel like work because it is a tool I most often use at work. I don’t have that problem with the iPhone; I genuinely enjoy taking pictures uninhibited by large lenses and studio lights.

After the introduction, Al spends the rest of the eBook talking about three things that make phone photography what is. Shooting, editing, and sharing on one device. Each has its own section within the eBook. The focus is not the devices themselves but the images you can capture with them. Al also shares lots of tips, tricks, and other bits of knowledge along the way. Several of these have never even occurred to me, and many of them will help me take better photos with my iPhone. In the editing section, Al goes over lots of great apps beyond Instagram (which many of us are guilty of overusing). This eBook would be worth its price in app recommendations alone for me. I’m already having a lot of fun experimenting. Finally, Al talks about sharing your photos. Although there is nothing ground breaking, nor are there any fantastic revelations about sharing, it’s an interesting read that will probably teach you a thing or two.

Another fantastic thing about iPhone photography is how affordable it is. You probably already own an iPhone, so pick up this eBook for $5 ($4 until May 27th using the code EYEPHONE4 ), then pick up a few of the apps discussed in it for a few dollars each. You will have an even more versatile and incredibly more fun tool in your pocket. Even if you own $20k+ of camera gear, you could be shooting great photos with your iPhone. If not for convenience, then for a release from how complicated photography can be. After all, in the words of photographer Chase Jarvis, the best camera is the one that’s with you.

First, this will be the first time many of you have seen my brand new website and blog so I would like to say welcome!

Second, I’m happy to announce the release of a new Craft & Vision eBook today. A change of pace from the usual focus of Craft & Vision, this eBook is not about making photographs. It’s about sharing them. The eBook is called “Shoot + Share: Getting Your Photographs Out Into the World”, and it is written by Stuart Sipahigil. You may remember him as the author of “Close to Home”. “Close to Home” is a fantastic eBook about finding and capturing photographs where you live; not just while you are on vacation. It was released before I began writing reviews for Craft & Vision, but I highly recommend it.

Now onto Stuart’s latest; “Shoot and Share”. It often surprises me when I meet incredibly talented photographers, some of whom amateurs, some of whom very successful commercial photographers, who rarely share their work. If you don’t share your photos, those collections of pixels that you pour your hear and soul into, then they are just gathering dust. Well, metaphorically, if they are on a hard drive. It’s great to shoot for just your own satisfaction, I often envy photographers who do that, but your photos have so much potential. They have the potential to put a smile on someones face, evoke a different emotion, or even effect how the viewer sees the world. So, you really need to share your work. And, you have to share it with the right audience. How do you identify your options, your audience, your goals? It’s a very tricky subject, but this eBook is a great starting point.

Even if you already share your images online in some capacity, whether it is your own website, Facebook, or Flickr I think this eBook would still benefit you. Personally, I have what I would call an extensive online presence through Twitter, 500px, my website, and most recently a new Facebook page. However, this eBook has given me lots of additional information about sharing, it has given me some resources to check out, and most importantly it has given me exercises to help improve and expand how I display my photos online. Over this summer I plan to put a lot more thought into what photos I display and who I intend to see them. The exercises in the eBook are going to be great for this, and I’m sure I will give it at least one more read.

Whether you are an amateur, a pro, or even if you never hope to make a living in photography, I recommend you read this eBook. The content may not blow your mind, so to speak, but it will improve how you share your work. And for only $4 (using the promo code SHARE4) if you buy it in the next week, there is no reason not too. Whether you are looking to improve your online presence, or begin one, this eBook is a fantastic place to start.

If you plan on picking up a few eBooks from Craft & Vision, use the code SHARE20 to get 20% when you buy 5 or more. This code, as well as the one to get just “Shoot + Share” for $4 (SHARE4) expire at 11:59 PST on April 28th.

Until next time;

Kona, Hawaii

David duChemin is back with another fantastic Craft & Vision eBook, this time focussing on portraiture. David is one of my favorite authors, and portraits are one of my main focuses in photography, so I was very excited when I was told about the pending release of this eBook. Before I jump into my review, I’ll just say “Forget Mugshots: 10 Steps to Better Portraits” did not disappoint. It is a great read and perhaps one of David DuChemin’s best pieces of writing. Best of all, it is available for $4 using the discount code and link towards the bottom of this page.

David first talks a bit about Yousuf Karsh and the influence he had on David’s own work, which may be evident to you if you are an avid Karsh fan like myself. David goes on to talk about how a portrait is a combination of two revelations: one about the subject, one about the photographer. This is not an eBook just about posing or selecting a background, though it does mention both of those. This is an eBook about creating more powerful portraits. Through the course of this book David simply tells you what he thinks contributes to a good portrait. His goal is to give you the tools to create amazing portraits that reflect upon you, not portraits that reflect upon David’s own style or tendencies. This is exactly the way it should be, and David has created a great resource here for improving YOUR photos. Further discussion includes how a great portrait is based upon the viewer forming an emotional connection with the subject. It isn’t based upon the image being shot with an 85mm lens at f1.2 I might add.

As he often does, David includes creative exercises to help you practice what he is teaching. And for those of you who still love gear talk, like myself, David does include a brief section on selecting lenses for portraiture. This is not a “go buy this lens” type of thing, it is on a more conceptual level than that. It is geared towards choosing the lens for the portrait you want. Like much his writing, this section is a call of thought and reflection, not a call for new gear. David goes on to discuss things like capturing portraits in more than one frame, understanding smiles, and the importance of eyes in a photograph. That last one may sound obvious, but a lot of work I see is flawed from the subjects eyes. Admittedly, I myself am occasionally guilty of neglecting the incredible potential found in a subjects eyes. Towards the end of the eBook David talks about lighting portraits; though the most gear he tends to use is a reflector. This is not a book about lighting portraiture. Those already exist, both at Craft & Vision and elsewhere. This is an eBook about portraiture on a deeper level.

If portraits are part of your photography, you should read this eBook. Whether you are a seasoned pro or an aspiring amateur, I am confident that there is something in here for you. And at $4 for the next five days (using promo code MUGSHOTS4), you have no excuse to miss out. You can also use the promo code MUGSHOTS20 to get 20% off when you buy 5 or more Craft & Vision PDF eBooks. Both codes expire March 17th, after that the eBook is $5.

In the interest of full disclosure, I do make a small commission if you purchase your eBooks using the links on the bottom of this page. If you do chose to purchase this eBook, or any other from Craft & Vision, I would appreciate it if you enter their websites using these links; doing so will keep reviews like this one coming to my blog.

The latest Craft & Vision release comes from Michael Frye. You may remember Michael from an eBook released last year by Craft & Vision, titled “Light & Land”. That eBook was a great guide to working with landscapes in the Digital Darkroom.This time around, the focus in on capturing great images to start with.

Michael Frye’s new release is titled “Exposure For Outdoor Photography”. Capturing photographs correctly in camera is discussed in great detail in this eBook. Although Michael discusses exposing for landscape photographs specifically, much of what he says is important no matter what you take photos of. The eBook starts with a discussion of the exposure triangle, i.e. aperture, shutter speed, ISO and how they relate to each other. If you are looking to take your camera out of Automatic or Program mode, then this will be a fantastic lesson to get you started. Even if you are somewhat comfortable with these numbers and what you control with them, this refresher will likely be helpful. After several pages of teaching exposure, as well as how to read the much under used histogram, Michael moves onto case studies based on his own photographs. He gives ten excellent examples, explaining why he made the choices he made, providing histograms and differently exposed versions of the images. In one case study Michael explains the zone system, something I had recently started using before I read the eBook. The zone system is a great way of visualizing and defining where you place the values in your image, and I highly recommend it. Michael offers a very good, concise explanation of it, and then gives you a practical example to help get your mind working. After a few more case studies, including one on HDR and exposure blending, the eBook is neatly wrapped up, leaving you feeling very comfortable with the numbers that define your photographs.

If you are a seasoned pro, then this might not be the eBook for you. There aren’t a lot of grand revelations or secrets here. However, if you are stuck on auto or just simply are not comfortable using the manual controls on your camera, then this eBook is perfect for you. Again, although it is tailored towards landscape photography, much of it is relevant to anything you are shooting. If you want to get more serious about your photos and stop letting the engineer who designed your camera decide your exposure, you should buy this eBook. Reading it will be a giant leap towards taking full control of your images.

For the next five days you can get “Exposure For Outdoor Photography” for $4, just use the promo code EXPOSURE4. You can also can 20% off if you buy 5 or more Craft & Vision eBooks, just use the promo code EXPOSURE20. Both codes expire on February 20th, after that the eBook is $5.
