Nice Update – Notification Granularity Reshared post from +Kathleen Ko #googleplusupdate Now you can decide who can notify you on Google+! Circles give you control over who you share with on Google+ and who you see content from. Many of you have asked for similar controls over who can send you notifications, so today we're rolling out a new option in Google+ settings: “Who can notify you.” You can update your settings at https://plus.google.com/settings/plus. This setting controls who you’ll get notifications from, if they:• Share with you individually• Select ‘Notify about this post’ (when sharing to a circle you’re in)• +Mention your name• Invite you to a hangout• Invite you to play or send you messages from a game You’ll still be notified if someone comments on one of your posts or adds you to a circle. We’ve set the “Who can notify you” setting to Extended circles (http://goo.gl/TuH7Z) as the default, but you can change this to be Your circles, Anyone, or a custom selection of specific circles and individuals. We’ll be rolling this out slowly, so if it’s not available for you yet check back soon. And as always, we’d love to hear your feedback in the comments. […]

+Frank Doorhof Just a quick note – Great show on TWITPhoto with +Catherine Hall the explanations on Metering and the tips and tricks to make the light meter not an evil device are spot on… thank you… It is great to see pro's dedicated to the use of the meter and not reliance on the histogram…. Do you feel you are so dedicated to the use of the meter based on years of studio work and starting early with the use of the meter with studio lighting? Do you feel that many these days rely on the histogram simply based on the use of smaller flashes and reliance on the camera to meter the scene using TTL etc? http://twit.tv/show/twit-photo/26 TWiT Photo 26 | TWiT.TV Search form.

kPrefix”>+Alfie Goodrich makes some great points here….. learn the rules but never be afraid to break them….. Comment back to his thread: https://plus.google.com/109220060006128553211/posts/M4QrKJBtz2E Reshared post from +Alfie Goodrich +"Don't do HDR", "don't use a 50mm lens to shoot ladies", don't do this, don't do that…. To all the new people following me on G+ and all the people out there who care about photography who I know, you'll never find me telling you NOT to do things with your camera [apart from 'never beat your children over the head with it']. Here, however, is a small list of things you should ALWAYS try and do…. Always try and make the next picture better than the previous one. Always try to have fun with your camera. Always spend some time every week looking at other photographer's work. Always try new things. Always try some old things too. As regards post-processing, in the dark or with the lights on, always know when to stop. Processing is like coooking: you dont need to throw all the flavours in to every dish and you still need to taste the original ingredients through the things you have added. It pays to look down. It pays […]

So I need critiques, and then when someone sees the issues I see I need some LR Guru's to point me in the right direction….. Because this shot seems to look very different than this when viewed in LR – but when exported it looks different – Export must be the issue… But all opinions about all aspects very much appreciated… Meanwhile I will be critiquing others submitted stuff…. This is to make up for doing no photography tonight and missing the Photowalk weekend because of work….. dumb work… This post has been reshared 2 times on Google+ View this post on Google+
