I have been looking for external battery packs for my SB900’s for a while now and I think I have finally found a solution that is not only practical but a cost effective alternative to the Nikon SD9 Battery Pack.
I reckon that the way you can tell a professional photographer from an enthusiast is the way they organise their batteries. (Ok I kid). But I did get an email from a photographer a few weeks ago that turned into a conversation about batteries. How do you organise them so that whilst on a assignment you know which are needing recharged? and which are fully charged?
Now that you know how I shot the assignment in The Falconer and Owl Composite – Part 1. Lets take an in-depth look at how the composite was created in Adobe Photoshop CS4.
Keeping in the spirit of last Thursdays screencast about making a Channel Mask I thought I would take things up a level and give you a step by step guide to how I created the Falconer and Owl composite starting with the photography, lighting and a behind the scenes video of the shoot.
My new Lastolite Ezybox softbox arrived in the post the other day and I took time out from finalizing the new website to take a few shots of my son Julian. The impromptu shoot only lasted a few minutes, but out of it I got some goofy shots that I decided would look great as canvas print. So in this article I will discuss both the photography and Lightroom 2 / Photoshop techniques I used to achieve a simple yet very effective sequence of images into a canvas print.
