Is ranking high with your piers (ha: let's try peers) important to you? So +500px is a site that allows ranking / voting on images by all of their users which in turn is comprised by a ton of photographers. Is how you rank there important to you? Do you use it as a way to test if your photography style is accepted? In the case of model photography, do you feel that the models look or beauty is what is getting voted on or your image and image quality?

This goes for any model you shoot – not just the example in the photo below…. Scroll to the bottom to take the test and reply in the comments…… I began my career in the glamour photo marketplace about 8 years ago and since then I have learned much, dispelled many more rumors than truths and also learned that in the end there is only one really happy person if you do your job correctly. Let us start with the only person that will ever truly be happy with your work, that is your model. One of my rules when I shoot glamour is that if I cannot make the model happy with the images we shoot then I have failed as a photographer. My job as a glamour photography is to make an image that shows that model in their best most sensual or sexy light possible. You can accomplish this in many ways and those ways are based on how you implement and plan your shoot, what your subject matter is or simply what the client you are shooting for actually requires. With those criteria in place it comes down to using your skills as a photographer and […]

It seems that about a week into it I think I have already missed one day…Real life is so annoying and gets in the way of many side projects….I need the ability to clone… There were so many technical issues with this shoot…. so many….  Shoot more often = less issues of what you can forget to do or remember to do..

I know a few people that could benefit from this type of delete and upload Fingers crossed for this portion of the mission to go without a hitch… Curiosity Preps for a Planned 'Brain Transplant'Fri, 10 Aug 2012 04:34:28 PM PDT A healthy Curiosity spent Sol 4, its fifth day on Mars, preparing for this weekend's planned "brain transplant"–transitioning to a new version of flight software on both of Curiosity's redundant main computers. The new software is better suited for Mars surface operations, such as driving and using Curiosity's robotic arm. The "brain transplant" will take place during a series of steps beginning this evening and continuing through Aug. 13. The new software was uploaded to the rover's memory during the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft's flight from Earth. Key capabilities in the new software enable full use of Curiosity's powerful robotic arm and drill, and advanced image processing to check for obstacles while driving. This will ultimately allow Curiosity to make longer drives by giving the rover more autonomy to identify and avoid potential hazards and to drive along a safe path that the rover identifies for itself. The flight team elected to defer further science activities until after the flight software […]
