This an interesting TED talk from Sebastiâo Salgado, a brilliant photographer from Brazil. He didn't start out in photography, had a number of high flying careers before he found the camera. Worth a watch.]]> http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/10/the-photos-of-sebastiao-salgado/feed/ 0 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/10/the-photos-of-sebastiao-salgado/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SLR-Joe/~3/7ZzzHNiKgCs/ http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/09/dodge-and-burn-in-photoshop/#comments Thu, 09 May 2013 07:05:45 +0000 Joe http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/?p=3749
If you've ever wondered about how to effectively use the dodge and burn tools in Photoshop, then have a watch of this great little tutorial. I guess that's how the experts post process their shots. ]]> http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/09/dodge-and-burn-in-photoshop/feed/ 0 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/09/dodge-and-burn-in-photoshop/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SLR-Joe/~3/ZDB-s0Ss1Wg/ http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/08/andy-biggs-wildlife-photography/#comments Wed, 08 May 2013 07:12:37 +0000 Joe http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/?p=3755
Andy Biggs is an african wildlife photographer, and here he talks about his journey as a photographer, how he first got into photography and deconstructs some of his excellent shots. Again Andy isn't somebody who started off in photography, he says in the video being a photographer was his fourth career. It's never too late to switch :-)]]> http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/08/andy-biggs-wildlife-photography/feed/ 0 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/08/andy-biggs-wildlife-photography/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SLR-Joe/~3/7vjbxB3RNH0/ http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/07/nice-cameras-and-lenses-hanging-on-the-wall/#comments Tue, 07 May 2013 12:41:50 +0000 Joe http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/?p=3752
Ok, so this strictly isn't a photography video, it's another one from the International Space Station, but look at all that expensive camera gear stuck to the wall at the beginning of the video! Nevertheless this is a riveting watch to gain a better understanding of life on the ISS. It is ever so slightly cluttered though, maybe they need a cleaner :-)]]> http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/07/nice-cameras-and-lenses-hanging-on-the-wall/feed/ 0 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/07/nice-cameras-and-lenses-hanging-on-the-wall/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SLR-Joe/~3/u78eNyPSM7A/ http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/06/a-short-history-of-photography/#comments Mon, 06 May 2013 08:37:46 +0000 Joe http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/?p=3720

The Kakapo, a native bird of New Zealand is an endangered species. This is a clip from the BBC documentary series 'last chance to see' with Stephen Fry and well, I guess the Kakapo must be getting rather desperate!]]> http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/01/the-dangers-of-photographing-a-randy-parrot/feed/ 0 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/05/01/the-dangers-of-photographing-a-randy-parrot/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SLR-Joe/~3/J3CgHbpQqPQ/ http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/30/new-camera-shake-reduction-tool-from-adobe/#comments Tue, 30 Apr 2013 08:58:00 +0000 Joe http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/?p=3713
It looks like the latest version of Photoshop will have a cool camera shake reduction tool. Say goodbye to all those lenses with expensive image stabilisation and hello to a copy of Photoshop :-)]]> http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/30/new-camera-shake-reduction-tool-from-adobe/feed/ 0 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/30/new-camera-shake-reduction-tool-from-adobe/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SLR-Joe/~3/LCcguMbvESE/ http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/29/chris-hadfield-photos-from-space/#comments Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:58:22 +0000 Joe http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/?p=3707
Astronaut Chris Hadfield takes us through what it's like to take photos from space. A great video to watch and some stunning photos to boot. Looks like his camera of choice is a Nikon. Perhaps that's a Nikon D3X?]]> http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/29/chris-hadfield-photos-from-space/feed/ 0 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/29/chris-hadfield-photos-from-space/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SLR-Joe/~3/agJEfE8T-VE/ http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/25/your-best-shot-april-2013-photography-competition/#comments Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:56:01 +0000 Joe http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/?p=3691 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/25/your-best-shot-april-2013-photography-competition/feed/ 0 http://www.slr-joe.com/blog/2013/04/25/your-best-shot-april-2013-photography-competition/
