It is important for digital camera users to grasp the basics of digital image sizing. Should you be sending photos to the People’s Post or another newspaper, then a photo taken in JPEG format at medium resolution (around 5 megapixel) is suitable. However, should you need to keep this photo for printing and possible enlargement, it becomes important to shoot at the camera’s maximum digital resolution. An additional setting available on your digicam is compression or image quality. This is normally selected by setting the camera to take   “fine or high   quality” or on the other hand, “medium or standard” quality. Some cameras also have a low quality or high compression option. The significance of this setting is as follows: ·         Low compression means a large file (around 3 megabytes) on your memory storage card but the photo is rendered at highest quality. There is a minimum of digital noise or blurring of detail. ·  ...

No, not about shooting nudes, although a worthy topic! Learn about the use of your camera's "RAW" image mode and shoot pics that can be adjusted post-shoot for unfavourable lighting conditions. Download and print my latest article:

BEACH SHOOTS ARE GREAT FOR THAT SPECIAL COUPLE - OR FOR THE KIDS. ALSO, FOR WEDDING PRE-SHOOTS !

The beach is a perfect place to get kids and family to relax for the camera! The family Holmes and family Hodgson Shoots, near Simon's Town. Held near Boulder's Beach, the location of the world famous Penguin sanctuary. Being based in Noordhoek, Cape Town, right near Chapman's Peak and the beach, allows me the privilege of taking photos on some of the most lovely, breathtaking locations in the world. The kids really love the beach, play on the rocks and generally relax within the first 15 minutes of the shoot. Much more natural and fun than the studio!
