Adobe Lightroom Tutorials

Dan Carr — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 23:05:27 +0000

I use Adobe Lightroom every day for organizing my photo collection. I use it to import photos from card to computer whether I’m in the office or on the road and I use it to sort out magazine submissions and upload photos to the internet. It’s a hugely powerful too so I have started a […]

Which Lenses Did I Use Most In Winter 2010/11?

Dan Carr — Sat, 14 May 2011 18:20:22 +0000

Using Lightrooms filter system I can quickly reveal which lenses I used this winter the most. The new Canon 70-300 f4-5.6 L IS takes the win, hardly surprising as it is such an amazingly versatile lens. Second place goes to my 300mm f2.8 L IS. Did I really carry that beast around with me that […]

Upgrade Your Monopod for Snow Photography – $5

Dan Carr — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 19:04:04 +0000

I’ve been doing this for some time but yesterday someone commented on it and I thought I ought to post about it. Sometimes I use a monopod when I’m shooting. Either with large lenses like my 300mm f.28 L IS or sometimes smaller lenses if I have slow shutter speed or I’m trying to frame […]

My backup routine

Dan Carr — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 22:39:35 +0000

All hard drives will fail with 100% certainty. The only question is when ? It could be after a week, or it could be three or four years, but because they are mechanical it is a certain event. If you are not keeping redundant backups of your photos then at some point it is guaranteed […]

Sequences re-visited

Dan Carr — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 07:34:12 +0000

Today I’d like to post some sequences that were shot in 2009 for SBC Skier magazine here in Canada. The first four were to be used for “Trick Tips” , where a pro skier describes how someone would go about performing that trick. The fifth sequence was not shot for that purpose, but it was […]

Pushing flash X-Sync to the limit

Dan Carr — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:05:10 +0000

For people that shoot fast moving action with strobes like myself, we are always worrying about sync speeds and flash durations. Today I’m going to talk a little bit about flash sync and give a quick example of how you can push the boundaries of what can often seem like a very limiting factor with […]
