Must Have LED Lighting Solution from Lite Panels
Friday, 15 August 2008
The advantage of continuous lighting is obvious: "What You See is What You Get (WYSWYG). I really like this method instead of flash lighting system simply because of that wyswyg thing. The Litepanels LED lighting systems is a great revolutionary solution for those who like continuous lighting system. Why I said it is a revolutionary technology?
Because LED itself is a revolutionary light technology which has a very high power efficiency so that it does not produce heat as much as those other low efficiency lighting systems. In other words, your studio room will be cooler than it is when using a conventional lighting technology.

The cost per print is very reasonable. You can get as low as 20 cents per print (4R) including photo paper and ribbon.
I would highly recommend this printer for you who need the following features:
How do you deal with damaged and wrinkled skin image? Since it is only an image we can fix it quite quickly. But remember, there are a professional technique and amateur one. What is the different between the two? The pro one gives a very natural result! You still can see natural skin complexion although wrinkles and damaged skins are removed. For some cases, you might want to keep the wrinkles so that the figures don't look much younger than the actual ages.
Below are the before-after images. Notice that the wrinkles are still there although you cannot see them very clearly. This gives a more natural look of the figure. Removing all the wrinkles can make the woman looks very young, which is, in my personal opinion, not good since it's a fake.
Adding a mist to a portraiture sometimes create a dramatic effect like the above photo. The mist adds a more romantic scene and creates a winter like atmosphere. How is the secret of making that natural mist? I tried many techniques and found out that the best one is the one you're about to learn...
When the sun is low in the sky is often referred to by pro photographers as the 'magic hour'. This is a moment when the color temperature becomes much warmer that gives a special appeal to photographs.
Regardless of whether you are shooting landscapes, flowers, fashions or portrait, finding a strong focal point in your pictures is a basic requirement for your image to have any chance of success. With portraiture, this normally achieved by ensuring your subject provides strong eye contact by looking directly to the lens.
It is not always necessary to include complete couple's faces in a portrait. Hiding some of parts of their faces can be very interesting. I personally like the above picture because of this reason. Also, the extreme focal point of the image (the faces of the couple), the motion blur image of the lady's legs and the bold (red and blue) colors give an added value to it.
Again, this is another example of the use of bold colors. The above photo has two dominant colors: red and green. The shape of the umbrella gives additional value to this picture by creating an imaginary triangle. The green background captures natural garden color. The red light tone on the couple's faces adds a bit warm mood of love.
