Glad people are finding the report very valuable. Sorry some of you felt it took too long to get to the tips. Audri says she's planning that the other Special Reports will have VERY short introductions. :)

Yikes! You are absolutely correct. I made a mistake in naming the file and it didn't show. It's fixed now -- 3rd from the top. :)

Nope, it sure isn't. It's a Sassafras leaf -- please see the title of this post. The previous post contains a macro shot of a Red Maple leaf. You can check that out by clicking the << button above. :)

Re: P#19 Q4A: Which Lenses Are Best When Shooting Fall Landscapes?

SargentAP — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 10:13:41 -0000

Actually it's both. If you want to reduce the glare off the leaves, use a polarizing filter. If you want to include that shimmer, don't use a polarizing filter. I think the difference would be in the amount of light shining on the leaf. If it's a lot, the glare will be too much but if it's a soft diffused light that lightly shimmers off the leaf, then don't use the filter and capture that shimmer. I hope that helps. :)

Thank you for your feedback!

We don't put the entire interview transcript as a PDF in one spot. I'm sorry. We break them up in a series of posts.

The best way I've found is to go to the left hand navigation bar and select "Audio Podcast" then select the topic/photographer you want to read about and then you can click through each post by clicking on the >> button at the bottom of each post to navigate to the next post.

That's how I navigate on the site and trust me, I'm on here navigating around a lot!

Re: What Is the Most Important Secret to Adding More Wow Impact to Your Photographs?

SargentAP — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:40:19 -0000

One of the great things Nikon has done recently with the D3, D300, D700 and now D90 is to really open up what ISO settings work.

The ISO of 6400 that I used with the D300 is a bit noisy, but not like anything on other cameras. This setting on the D3 or D700 is very acceptable. It would be ridiculously noisy on most other cameras.

The jelly was shot at 1/60th at f5.6 with ISO 6400 and a18-200mm lens at 120mm on my D300.

The sea dragon was shot at 1/40th at f5.6 with ISO 6400 and a 18-200mm lens at 130mm on my D300.

Thanks for your kind words! Audri said: I spent a LOT of time waiting til no one else was shooting with flash. I also threw out a lot of photos. :)

18-24mm on your lens would be considered wide angle. Anything 24mm or less.

I'm so glad you're enjoying them and finding value! You may also want to consider checking out Carrie Sandoval's tips on photographing babies. I know that a 3-yr old isn't a baby anymore but you may find some of the tips very useful. I know I do when photographing my 5 and 7 yr old!

Re: An Almost Unknown, Counter-Intuitive Approach To Photographing Flowers That Produces Stunning Results

SargentAP — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:44:15 -0000

Yes, this was done in camera. There were other flowers behind (the pinks and purples) plus foliage (the greens), and by using an open aperture and moving around so the colors were in nice places, Audri was able to get this effect.

Our intent is that *everyone* can learn to improve the photographs they take by using these tips. We've certainly improved the quality of our own photographs by following the tips that our photographers have shared with us. And (generally) most of our feedback has shown that our subscribers have shared that viewpoint.
