Quick Tips: A Little Flash Will Do Ya’Quick Tips: A Little Flash Will Do Ya’
Use On-Camera Fill For A Taste Of Light
by George Schaub


The small, built-in flash on your camera is not meant to be a powerhouse that will enable you to capture large groups indoors or throw light any significant distance outdoors when trying to conquer the contrast problems of backlit subjects. Most are good to about 10 ft maximum, and even shorter coverage ranges when used with the tele settings on standard zoom lenses. Some have a bit more power than others, but rarely do they go beyond a fairly short range. However, there are times when the small output can be used for adding just a taste of light to highlight a foreground subject and to bring lighting balance into a contrasty scene.

Multiple Exposure Zoom EffectsMultiple Exposure Zoom Effects
Special Effects Made Easy
by Howard Millard


For a dynamic new look, put several captures on top of each other in a single image to multiply impact and open up new avenues to creative expression. Whether you want to inject motion into a static shot or add drama to a portrait, multiple exposure offers a myriad of possibilities for people, landscapes, flowers, and architecture—almost anything you can aim your lens at. It’s no longer necessary to make complicated exposure calculations and shoot everything in-camera. In fact, with many digital models, it’s not even possible to make multiple exposures in camera.

Shooting For The Stars
by Lorraine A. DarConte


“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars,” said Oscar Wilde, who, in his wildest dreams could not have imagined how truly spectacular the universe is. Thanks to “visionaries” like Adam Block—space, the final frontier—though still miraculous and mysterious, is a tad more accessible to the average Earthling. Block is Program Coordinator at the Mount Lemmon Sky Center in Tucson, Arizona. He’s responsible for developing and administering the Steward Observatory’s public astronomy programs and experiences, which include presentations, workshops, and special events. He also manages to find time in his jam-packed schedule to photograph the heavens above.

With so many "art filters" built into cameras these days, and a host of image processing programs that offer special effects, some photographers no longer carry glass, screw-on filters in their kit. The ND and polarizer are two filters some still recommend. Do you work with any screw-on filters for your digital SLR?
Please briefly comment on your experience with polarizer and ND filters for your DSLR photography.
