Digital Photography Magazine

Macro digital photography has to be one of the most underrated and under-practiced aspects of digital photography. The fact is that it’s just not “close-ups”. Macro digital photography is o much more. Taking digital photography of macro, particularly abstract, is an incredibly stimulating art form. One of the reasons why macro digital photography is so good because the objective is to get as much detail as you can. And the subject is not often distinguishable. You can turn a basic household item into a brightly colored world filled with shapes, lines and form. It allows the mind to take a break from categorizing everything and lets the imagination just enjoy the art form.

In macro digital photography, it’s very important to understand that you will be working with less light. What tends to happen is that you have less light on a smaller surface than you do a larger surface. This can lead to the need, in your digital macro photography, to adjust our F Stop to compensate for less light. And not only that, but in digital photography macro but your lens so you can get the important sections of your macro subject and focus on a shallow depth of field.

When purchasing a digital camera, it is often a tough decision to choose between a SLR digital camera and a compact digital camera. With this digital SLR camera review, we will cover the most important aspects in the decision making process.

Whether you are a novice or a professional, a digital photography magazine is something that will enrich your photography experience. Because of the growing interest in digital photography, magazines have begun to mushroom in the market.

Although some digital photography magazines cater to a target market, most have essential elements that make them must-reads for all photography enthusiasts. Still, one cannot actually buy all digital magazines in the market unless you have millions or billions kept somewhere. The most that people with ordinary income can do is to just choose two or three good digital photography magazines and enjoy them.

I have been on the look for a collaborative and informative digital photography magazine online for quite some time. I was looking to a place where you can quickly and easily read about subjects of interest in an easy fashion, and realized that a blog is probably the most natural place to do that efficiently and effectively, so I have set up this one.

Having been involved in electronic pre-press system since 1980, I got involved with digital photography since 1986 (yes, you heard it right). That was the time when Canon introduced their first digital SLR (a very expensive one, I must add), and we had it on trial in a trade fair in Chicago. We were demonstrating a process for newspaper where we took a picture of a visitor at one end of the stand, and as he/she progressed to the other end, their picture would appear in the first page of a newspaper.

Interestingly enough, it did not catch very well at the time. The main reason, in my opinion, was the lack of good communication platform. A photographer could take pictures at an event and send the roll of film to the editor by counter to counter service at a very reasonable cost, but to transmit a digital image would have taken a very long time and the cost was very prohibitive.

And then came the internet and cable and broadband, and the rest is history.

I had my first digital camera, a FUJI (I don’t remember the model, but it was a 1.5 MPixels, with 3x optical zoom), in 1998. It did a great job, even though getting the pictures in and out was a bit tedious. My next camera was one of the first models of Panasonic Lumix. I was in Singapore with a friend who was looking to buy a camera for a friend of his, and the sales person asked me if I am interested in one as well. I told him that he probably doesn’t have what I am looking for and his answer was “try me”. So I did. I told him that I am not interested in many MPixels since I need it for 4”x6” prints, but I wand good optics with good optical zoom. He said “I got exactly what you’re looking for” and brought the Lumix, with 2.5MPixels, Leica optics with a great optical zoom. Perfect for my wife for taking pictures of our grand daughter. Later on I bought a more recent model for my sister who loves the camera and the pictures it takes.

A couple of years ago my wife started a wholesale jewelery business, and I became the “official” photographer for catalogs, web sites, etc. Last year we got exclusivity for the ZSiska product line of resin jewelery, which is very colorful and intricate. To get better equipped I got a digital SLR, Nikon D70, and added a macro lens, Tamron 90mm. A great combination!

Having been involved in all this, I was always looking for improving my technique and getting better and better in macro photography, as well as landscape photography, which I very much like too. I found a lot of scattered information, and thought it would be nice to have it all in one place where all interested can share and learn from it, hence this digital photography magazine online.
