The Tutorial Thread!

Antithesis · May 20, 2008

Thanks for the kind words, I just liked these threads on some of my old car forums. Helpful for beginners who don't want to sort through 1000 threads when using the search tool.

I'll find a filters thread when I get home tonight, I gotta go to class.

can we sticky this? thank you for the idea, antithesis

I have been reading this write up on EOS flash and it is quite comprehensive: http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/ And part two is at: http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/index2.html#ev

You can get to the first article from the http://tiberius47.deviantart.com/art/How-to-use-Manual-Flash-83756240 link on the first page, but this is good enough to have its own link.

I agree this thread should be a sticky.

Antithesis, you've done a great job with this! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Very helpful.

Some Post processing (Sharpening) links I was given

http://www.photoxels.com/tutorial_sharpen_display.html

Brillinant site with loads of info and other articles and gets into some real depth without confusing
http://www.ronbigelow.com/articles/sharpen1/sharpen1.htm

series of articles, good for getting some basic starting points with settings for things off. Also the second link has some good blurring info at the bottom. The third deals with preparing images for the web as well.

By the way everyone. This is great idea but its not being used. Maybe call the thread look here before posting.

One thing I have found extremely helpful is wikipedia's explanation of concepts and principles for photography. The "See also" section at the bottom is VERY good information:

can someone add something about IR photography? I'm interested in the occassional application and am doing my own research just wanted to know what and how others are doing it.

Would this qualify?

tutorial for making panos

asfixiate · May 22, 2008

That's a really cool thread. That's not one of the newb questions though is it? I think the idea of this is what camera should I buy vs what's better, etc. I asked about the IR cause I was asking about hardware specific.

I've already started pointing people to this thread that ask beginner questions. It would be easier to do that and for people to see on their own if if was a sticky. Of course, that has been suggested.

BTW there are some great links here for those who are not necessarily beginners.

OK. Now for 1 bringing this thread to top again and 2 for help. How can I calibrate my laptop monitors? I keep seeing spyder but figure there has to be a way to do it within the monitor.
