My good friend Dave Black has published his first book, entitled The Way I See It. The Way I See It is a compilation of 50 one-page workshops that illustrate Dave’s masterful approach to lighting and composition. While this book is an excellent tutorial, it is also a handsome coffee table book– the color images are stunning.
For any photographer, especially those who use the Nikon system, you’ll love Dave’s simple approach to building a scene and capturing traditional events in a manner that brings emotion and feeling to his images.
To order The Way I See It, visit Dave’s website or visit his store page directly at Blurb.com.
Photo Mechanic 4.6.1 (still in public beta at this time, but available for trial download from Camerabits) offers a new watermarking feature that allows you to put a watermark image on exported images. I’ve adapted this technique to put my signature on images that I can export as JPEGs directly from my NEFs without having to go through Photoshop first.
I was reading the addendum to the Capture NX 2 manual that explained the use of the Auto Distortion correction feature, and came across this statement:
“Auto distortion control is automatically enabled for RAW photos
taken with On selected for the auto distortion control option available in the shooting menu of some cameras. In other cases, auto distortion control defaults to off.”
Yesterday, Nikon released an update to Capture NX2– version 2.2. I installed this version on my computer and checked out its new features, as well as Nikon’s claims for speed improvement.
