Low Light Photography: Big Challenge = Exciting Photo Ops
Joe Farace  |  Mar 13, 2013
It doesn’t matter what you call it—available light, unavailable light, available darkness or low light photography—often the most rewarding photographs are produced when working under the most challenging lighting conditions. Photographs made under these lighting conditions are different from those made on a sunny day and often have a more eye-catching look. They also open the night and low light to making photos, times you might not have thought about as presenting fun photo ops in the past.

Kimball Wilcox  |  Jul 08, 2013
The Litepanel MicroPro is a small LED 5600K constant light made for D-SLR cameras. Although it is primarily for shooting video I’ve found it can also be very effective for macro lighting where the light is very close, nearly touching to about a foot away.

Making Prints from Digital Files: Some Thoughts on Image Permanence, Options and Advances
George Schaub  |  Mar 29, 2005

One of the reasons that many people are getting into making prints at home
these days is that inkjet prints are simpler to make and more permanent than,

portable printers like the popular and relatively diminutive PictureMate from
Epson can last three generations or more. And most of the newer printers don't
even require the intermediary of the computer to make very good looking prints.
