This unusually cold and snowy winter may be keeping some indoors, but a handful of passionate photographers are braving the elements to capture some sweet winter scenes. 

This winter season gives all of us a wonderful opportunity to add exciting new images to our photographic collections. So why not bundle up, grab a thermos of hot coffee, and spend at least a few hours photographing a favorite spot while the snow is deep and winter's light is dramatic and magical.

DigiTip Bright white snow poses special challenges in making an exposure that holds detail in both snow and darker areas like trees and shadows. Metering directly off the snow results in underexposure, while metering dark areas overexposes the snow.

So why not pick out a few of your favorite images and get ready for a fresh and welcome change to your indoor environment...

But if you use your monitor for digital imaging that involves people on the outside world, like sending files to DigiGraphics for printing, your monitor needs to be calibrated so it displays color according to a predictable, reproducible standard...

Would you like to learn how to work with digital images the way the experts do? Check out these two publications: Photoshop LAB, The Canyon Conundrum, and Professional Photoshop Edition 5 by teacher, author, and friend, Dan Margulis.

Dan asked DigiGraphics to participate in editing both of these advanced level Photoshop books. We spent nearly a year working through drafts before the books went to publication. Now they're out, and you can benefit from the extensive knowledge shared within its covers.

Professional Photoshop Edition 5 is a culmination of techniques presented in four prior editions. Edition 5 is up to date with CS. Of key importance is Dan's by-the-numbers approach to color correction. Learning to correct color by the numbers frees us from the limitations of our own subjective vision, allowing us to obtain uncompromised accuracy in our corrective work. Edition 5 will be Dan's last book on the subject before he retires....

 

To say that a lot has changed in photography over the last decade is an understatement of grand proportions. An entire industry experienced a paradigm shift in what seems like the blink of an eye. The impact of this change is almost unimaginable.

Expensive new equipment, learning a new set of skills, re-defining key markets, and facing the uncertainty of putting yourself on the  leading edge of something that is constantly moving and shifting around...
