Adorama Camera Starts Ninth Week of "100 in 100" Photography Tips Series

"Photography enthusiasts and snapshooters from all over the world are learning something new about taking pictures every day," says AIRC editor Mason Resnick. The tips are written in relatively non-technical language, so anyone can learn, no matter what experience they have. "It only takes a minute to read each day's tip," notes Resnick.

Visitors this week will learn: how to get winning wildlife photos at the zoo; the best way to shoot video clips with compact digital cameras; why windows make great photographic subjects; the importance of color in compositions, a photojournalist technique called "stacking the composition," how to use single-point perspective, precise focusing methods, and how breaking a pattern can grab a viewer's attention.

Last week's tips included: How to detect and minimize DSLR sensor dust; using ISO to increase sharpness in macro photography; how to get ghost-like images when shooting flash; creating a zooming effect in Adobe Photoshop; creating a hand-colored look in digital prints; techniques for avoiding distracting backgrounds; and quick basic guide to Photoshop's "Layers" feature.

Resnick is inviting bloggers and webmasters with photo-related content to link to "100 in 100," (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?article=100in100&op=academy_new). "If you have photography-related content on your site, this will add value to it," he notes.

Daily and weekly summaries will be available via the AIRC's News Desk RSS feed (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=NewsDesk_Home).

Online photo magazine at a retail site?

AIRC - Adorama Imaging Resource Center (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=academy) is the choice destination for photographers at all levels of experience who want to improve their picture-taking and image-editing skills. AIRC has over 275 how-to photography articles, buying guides and picture-selling advice, as well as daily breaking news about the photography industry, written by a team of top photography experts.

Why would Adorama, a well-respected New York-based camera retailer, publish what is essentially an online photo magazine? Resnick says, "we believe the more information and knowledge we can provide, the more people will trust Adorama both as a reliable information source and as a place where they can feel comfortable buying their photographic gear."

Why Should I Switch To Digital Photography
I admit it Ive been slow to embrace the digital photography phenomenon. As an amateur photographer, I have two film cameras, an old manual Nikon and a nice autofocus Canon Rebel, and I resisted the temptation to indulge in a digital camera up until recently, even though each of my children had naturally been using them for years. But not long ago my dad gave me his mid-level Olympus (he found the menus hard to follow), and Ive been giving it a try. And, surprise, surprise! I even like it.

Moissanite Wedding Sets, Perfect Symbol Of Lasting Love
Moissanite was discovered during the latter part of the nineteenth century by Dr Henri Moissan. It is only in recent years, however, that the replica diamond has become widely available. This crystal is very similar to a diamond, being nearly as hard, and yet also much more brilliance and lustre than the diamond. Moissanite is one of the most realistic substitutes for a diamond around, and its hard surface makes it scratch resistant, more so than cubic zirconia. A Moissanite wedding ring looks as good as a diamond ring, but costs as little as one tenth of the price of a diamond.
