Unfortunately 90% of the templates are unusable by professionals; they're mostly fun and cute looking. However, with a little work, you can convert some of the templates and rework them to serve your needs, i.e. looking and being professional.<br /><br />I found a cool link at a site called <a href="http://www.technosanity.com/">TechnoSanity</a> in which Jeff Turner explains how to rework some of the Apple stationary. With a little time in Photoshop and minor HTML knowhow, you can make something you'd be proud to attach your name to and clients will like to see.

I had the great opportunity to intern for her when I was in grad school and have remained friends ever since. If you recall, she showed work here at Georgetown College in the Fall of 2006. My photo class even took a field trip to visit her.<br /><br />This Friday she is hosting an open studio/house, featuring her work as well as artist Marco Logsdon. Her studio is located at 903 Manchester Street in the Distillery Art District of downtown Lexington. The event will be from 4:00 to 7:00 PM.

So I began to develop an idea in my mind that eventually produced the final image that you see above.<br /><br />I've been a fan of Annie Leibovitz's group portraits that she has done over the years for Vanity Fair. One photograph in particular, <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/02/hollywoodcovers_slideshow200702?slide=7">April 2001: Master Class</a>, was one of my favorites that I thought I might be able to emulate for our department shot.<br /><br />I had read once that for some of her group portraits that not everyone could make the scheduled shoot, so they had to photograph them on different days and then join them later in a composite image via Photoshop. Another aspect of her shoots is that she uses a specific light source for every little bit of lighting in the shot. I figured I could do the PS work, but the lighting might be a little tricky, considering I only had one good softbox for lighting. And after a little scouting on campus, I settled on the LRC fireside location that seemed to work out fine (aside from all our giggling and laughing while students were trying to study...sorry).<br /><br />I had the final image in my mind, and in the end, everything came together...for the most part.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kincer/sets/72157602461417353/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj35ml10oXkvgkRdguF1k9RtpQAJ9pBVwzP5ce7mrEEUkCkHboGEdKAs5NaBD0txMm3ERBMrheRu4TLvkelktnPjlSkMKfbn94s3lbdUb7kgb9veLAWYrnnFN3nc_tb6Rlqt-AZ/s400/ps+composite.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122100731517597042" border="0" /></a>This is the finished PS file. It's pretty big, a little over 200 Mb with 14 layers. There are five layers with actual people on them and the rest are adjustment layers and other necessary effects to help blend the image together.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kincer/sets/72157602461417353/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQkG3s9L151-Kn2l74LbaZMFjcUjYxEZcHczzHfPhdSrq365OnmwaIJGqrE7QoyUJDoHM8w42Yu0UxlsSDpj97xN3Zh4EuwTqS0zGUwq_PPmqJpks6dkYed94k6mHEJUCbxVm8/s400/_DLK0680.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122100448049755490" border="0" /></a>Karen and Elissa came about 30 min. earlier than everyone else due to schedule conflicts, etc. After individual head shots, I placed them together for the group shot. I had set up the chairs in front of the fireplace and a tripod from where I'd shoot. I already had the layout in mind before making the first shot. I wish I had a diagram drawn out to show you, but honestly it was all in my head (a dangerous place to be).<br /><br />This is the only image that contains two people that ended up on the same layer.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kincer/sets/72157602461417353/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jn97weVGokSc8kzW2LOQLndQ_T7mhojwpeLgCuFmkVv2YDuc-3fg41bOluKJZIM7gu7nqTNu_vl4f01tf_ZzHpmPsWQbMP78GbZwGdaZkm0vdZ3TUE_qJETLXKdF-9aimfIJ/s400/_DLK0711.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122100323495703890" border="0" /></a>A little bit later everyone else showed up. And again after headshots, I began to set up the group shot. Boris was first. If you'll notice, the lighting (my small softbox) moves for each shot, giving a unique Leibovitz-esque feel.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kincer/sets/72157602461417353/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4A1K1pTowLyAmmTagsXWyAqLsMZbsJEpLSN6TQrxUfdySVYbTgUgRSYWLPbQbfaIct4feWwYY0SSjhcWlAWALcHO-O_ojGSTr-fEuUOWisqiD4yedRgZBRVGpLpoa532oeu5H/s400/_DLK0714.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122100216121521474" border="0" /></a>Then, by using a self time, I photographed Juilee, Daniel and myself.

As a result the shadows on his face become more dramatic, which I liked. I was fortunate–I didn't realize how close Daniel would be to Karen, but it worked out in the end.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kincer/sets/72157602461417353/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEMagju6C4Zu6ecvLPNlcz_0Y5BajQjGJ473YoD77PTsAC9fhMdm4Z6WuGC6ViVh5agTtTZmshJJJwKxmgMPcY0fFAOKL13OBkAYKV08428li5btbBDraXqCUrdgcW2PsJyWV9/s400/_DLK0720.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122100018553025826" border="0" /></a>Then for safe measure, I did a couple more shots of myself (Daniel pushed the trigger for me). And again I was glad a took a couple extra shots because I liked one of the other shots of myself as well.<br /><br />In the end, most of the entire image comes from the shots of Juilee and Boris. The rest was just filling in the other figures and fixing lighting problems to match the overall look. The big key to success was shooting with the camera on a tripod–as a result, all the images blended together pretty seamlessly.<br /><br />Shot with a Nikon D200, SB-800 flash, small softbox.Prof. Darrell Kincerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11936832068824838405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32721614.post-28220062009845257272007-10-12T10:09:00.000-04:002007-10-12T10:14:31.235-04:00What the Duck<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.whattheduck.net/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQt9maJAqrDsFqBDMtbkUnHB0OFy2FTjZZ8eSozQ8V30fgNi3XDjU2cDE4dtNdTRYNxRbG9FUkhQuN6ulMqQAHaOBZemH8Ud5tPvtm0LhgPJ_Ds41MEUSz5i03P2OUI-RTqqEr/s400/WTD323.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120452996945475490" /></a>If you like photography and enjoy a good laugh then you'll love What the Duck.

I hate to be one to compare megapixels, but this camera is up there, weighing in at 21 megapixels. That's basically the quality of traditional medium-format cameras. However, that power comes at a high price tag of $7999 (body only).<br /><br />For more information, you can see Digital Photography Review's preview by clicking <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082009canoneos1dsmarkiii.asp">here</a>.<br /><br />And if you're working on a slightly smaller budget, you might want to check out Canon's 40D, a very nice pro-sumer level camera. It seems to be the equivalent of Nikon's D200.

If you are not aware, there are devices that can calibrate your display to a correct color standard. This process is called "monitor profiling." Sometimes the color correction is subtle, but other times it can cure a monitor that is completely out of whack. Either way, it is the FIRST step in accurate color.<br /><br />The way they work is simple. You plug in the device to a USB port, attach it to your screen, and run the profiling software. What happens is that patches of color show beneath the device and it reads them and then corrects your monitor so that the colors are standardized.<br /><br />I have my own device that I've been using for some time now. I use a "<a href="http://www.colorvision.com/product-mc-s2s.php">Spyder2</a>" from <a href="http://www.colorvision.com/product-mc.php">ColorVision</a>. It's very simple and easy to use. At Georgetown, we purchased an "<a href="http://www.gretagmacbethstore.com/index.cfm/act/Catalog.cfm/catalogid/1861/Subcategory/Eye-One%20Solutions/category/Eye-One/browse/null/MenuGroup/_Menu%20USA%20New/desc/Eye-One%20Display%202.htm">eye-one display 2</a>" from <a href="http://www.gretagmacbethstore.com/index.cfm/CFID/42212763/CFTOKEN/91473676/MenuItemID/357/MenuGroup/%5FMenu%20USA%20New.htm">gretagmacbeth</a> for the Mac lab. It's an excellent profiling system. (NOTE: the eye-one display 2 is part of <a href="http://www.mac-on-campus.com/main/">MAC-On-Campus</a>' student purchasing program!!!) A third option is a new, inexpensive one from <a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/index.aspx">Pantone</a> called the <a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/products/product.aspx?pid=550&ca=2">hueyPRO</a>. <a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/ACCS/HUEY/HUEY.HTM">Imaging Resource</a> just posted a review of the device (that's what got me writing this post).<br /><br />So, if you're not calibrating your monitor, I STRONGLY suggest that you look into it. It can make a world of difference, and most importantly, it can give you confidence in knowing the images your see on your screen are accurate and correct!Prof. Darrell Kincerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11936832068824838405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32721614.post-33497350658706602212007-06-19T18:26:00.003-04:002008-11-27T09:21:00.704-05:00Choosing A Digital Camera (Buying Guide)Digital cameras have become the standard in the photographic industry. Many students are interested in purchasing one, but it can be a difficult decision. So here are some of my recommendations when considering which camera to buy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex)</span><br />If you can afford the plunge, I would recommend a DSLR. It gives you excellent image quality and the potential to have full control over your camera from exposure to focusing. And if you're used to film SLRs, it's a simple transition.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Brand</span><br />I would either choose a <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ProductCatIndexAct&fcategoryid=111">Canon</a> or <a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php?cat=1&grp=2">Nikon</a>. The reason is that these companies are two standards of the photographic industry with a large variety of lenses and accessories, all of which are typically high in quality.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Which Model?</span><br />Actual cameras can usually be placed into one of three catagories: <span style="font-style: italic;">consumer</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">pro-sumer</span>, and <span style="font-style: italic;">professional</span>; consumer being the least expensive, often easy to use but with the fewest custom functions and upgrades, while pro cameras are the most expensive with the highest quality, speed, and ability to customize.<br /><br />What you need to figure out is (1)your purpose for this camera and (2)your budget. If you just want something to make good photographs and use as a hobby, look toward a consumer model. If you're more serious and are very interested in photography, look for a pro-sumer model. If you plan to do some jobs to make money with your camera and are on a budget, pro-sumer is good again. If you're going to make a living with the camera, look at pro models and high-end pro-sumers.<br /><br />A note on megapixels: I've heard it said that a 6 megapixel camera is the equivilent of 35mm film. Thus, a 6 megapixel camera is a decent place to start. However, as cameras improve there has been another plateau near 10 megapixels. And then there are the pro cameras that move up to into the teens. 6-8 megapixels is good for normal shooting and consistent prints up to 8x10 and 11x14. With know-how, you can even print poster size with quality. My camera is 10 megapixels and has plenty of detail for 11x14 or 16x20 and larger with know-how.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cost and Cameras</span><br />This is where the rubber meets the road: the price tag for a DSLR runs from about $500 - $5000 and up. Here are some current suggestions:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Consumer Level:</span><br />Canon: <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1000d/">Rebel XS</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08012404canoneos450dhandson.asp">Rebel XSi</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos400d/">Rebel XTi (400D)</a><br />Nikon: <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08012911nikond601st.asp">D60</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond40/">D40</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond40x/">D40x</a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pro-sumer Level:</span><br />Canon: <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos30d/">30D</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos40d/">40D</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos50d/">50D</a><br />Nikon: <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond80/">D80</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond90/">D90</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond200/">D200</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond300/">D300</a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pro-Level:</span><br />Canon: <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos1dsmarkiii/">1Ds Mark III</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_eos1dmkiii.asp">1D Mark III</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos5dmarkII/">5D Mark II</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_eos1dmkiin.asp">1D Mark II N</a><br />Nikon: <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond3/">D3</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond700/">D700</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Nikon/nikon_d2xs.asp">D2Xs</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond2x/">D2X</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/articles/nikond2hs/">D2Hs</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond2h/">D2H</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Buying Used?</span><br />You typically won't find DSLRs on sale or in student purchasing programs because they sell so quickly and easily. However, another option might be to buy a used camera. Often times people are upgrading to the next best thing and selling their "relatively old" cameras, which are still perfectly fine (especially for someone just starting out with a digital camera). Here are some older models that might be interesting:<br /><br />Canon: <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos300d/">Digital Rebel (300D)</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos350d/">Digital Rebel XT (350D)</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos10d/">10D</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos20d/">20D</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_eos20da.asp">20Da</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1dsmkii/">1Ds Mark II</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1dmkii/">1D Mark II</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1ds/">1Ds</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1d/">1D</a><br />Nikon: <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond50/">D50</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond70/">D70</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Nikon/nikon_d70s.asp">D70s</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond100/">D100</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1x/">D1X</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1h/">D1H</a>, <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1/">D1</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Don't Forget the Lens</span><br />Last, but definitely not least, choosing a good lens is a big part of how well your camera will perform. Most consumer level cameras and some pro-sumers come with a lens as a "kit." The lens works, but may not always be the best. Do a little homework and try to make a wise decision because ultimately the lens is a big part of image quality. Also, be aware of the focal length changes between SLRs and DLSRs. The sensor inside a DSLR is typically smaller than a 35mm negative. Therefore, the focal length of a lens appears differently. There is usually a multiplication factor of roughly 1.5x. That means a normal 50mm lens will look more like a 75mm lens on a DSLR. A 17mm-55mm zoom lens mimics the look of a traditional 28mm-80mm.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reviews</span><br />One last recommendation: do some research at <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/">Digital Photography Review</a>. They typically have extremely in-depth reviews of cameras to help you make good decisions before buying.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Last Updated:</span> November 27, 2008Prof. Darrell Kincerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11936832068824838405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32721614.post-41456128396023270412007-06-18T18:05:00.000-04:002007-06-18T18:08:17.808-04:00Down...but not out!My website is down, along with my email.

First year students will now take photography foundations courses that emphasize camera vision, technique, aesthetics and creativity in an all-digital environment."<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Did you notice that last part?</span> They also went on to point out that "the department will maintain its commitment to a comprehensive program by continuing to teach all traditional and alternative photographic processes."<br /><br />That sounds perfectly fine to me. In fact, I'm a bit surprised they hadn't changed already.<br /><br />It leads me to seriously reexamine the direction of my own classes at Georgetown. For some time I've tried to begin implementing digital workflow within the courses I teach, or might have the opportunity to teach. And it looks like this coming fall, just like SCAD, I'll have my chance.<br /><br />With my Intro Photo class I anticipate working in the traditional darkroom by creating photograms, building pinhole cameras and experimenting with mordançage. But as for shooting and post-production...I believe we'll be using a digital workflow. That means digital SLRs or a combination of film SLR and digital point and shoot.<br /><br />An interesting side note is that I already have 4-5 students in an independent study, focusing exclusively on digital photography. There has been so much interest that it may be opened up as a special topics class.<br /><br />I guess it's a sign of the times.Prof. Darrell Kincerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11936832068824838405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32721614.post-50340024419257863962007-05-18T08:38:00.000-04:002007-05-29T12:01:00.120-04:00Get Up to Speed, in Louisville<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp0wSCGeO4_bZokiSeq5YyfUUSXKXAz9sEX56vGLjbe8Vf-GC1i-mxF56PMxiQvlpYwYYsw6dt6x9gEsOQ_XL8Py8l-EjCtUFa2upwvkw7oDY56QNo4quhJtsTPSRDUkQMvJBB/s1600-h/large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp0wSCGeO4_bZokiSeq5YyfUUSXKXAz9sEX56vGLjbe8Vf-GC1i-mxF56PMxiQvlpYwYYsw6dt6x9gEsOQ_XL8Py8l-EjCtUFa2upwvkw7oDY56QNo4quhJtsTPSRDUkQMvJBB/s400/large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5065879688569285346" border="0" /></a>There are a couple photography shows going on at the <a href="http://www.speedmuseum.org/index.html">Speed Museum</a> in Louisville. Currently there is a free show called "<a href="http://www.speedmuseum.org/exhibitions.html">A Large Format Photography Primer</a>." It displays twenty large format photographs in conjunction with the <a href="http://www.darrellkincerphoto.com/vc_conference2007.pdf">Large Format Photography Conference</a> to be held in Louisville this summer. This show opened April 3 and runs through September 9. The large format conference will be June 28 - July 1 with key note speaker <a href="http://shelby-lee-adams.blogspot.com/">Shelby Lee Adams</a>.

It runs June 19 - September 16 with an opening reception on Tuesday, June 19. I believe the exhibit costs a meager $10, by comparison to the $20 I'll spend on gas just driving there. It looks to be a pretty great collection, from early daguerreotypes to the work of Adams, Arbus, Capa, Evans, Newman, Lange, and Weston, to name just a few.<br /><br />Hope to see you there!<br /><span style=";font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif,Arial;font-size:85%;" ><b><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></b></span>Prof. Darrell Kincerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11936832068824838405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32721614.post-71902408649016358572007-05-10T19:44:00.000-04:002007-05-10T19:49:50.799-04:00...and you thought your camera had a lot of megapixels<a href="http://www.harlem-13-gigapixels.com/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix_Ezm3m2OC9uF4oZeOz3_yj8j-W94z32IPCG_dY36eVMyZ9e5-e0gkav-IYwEEtndDyGQu_FCW7IRO9K6789ZiaCUsRIGbwHFAgljFzHLXdMWFJwA0FTetdLMxwisqtjl77NN/s400/2084_harlem_13_gigapixels.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063082479903738258" /></a>If you're interested, there's a 13 GIGAPIXEL photo of Harlem.
