I guess it’s the different perspective and being clearly reminded of how different I am from the new surroundings. Either way, beyond the lugging and lagging that is a part of the journey these experiences are a total rush for me! I have been blessed with travel karma since my 40th year and have been able to visit several countries in continents of Asia, Europe and Australia. Through experiences of countless days and night lagging due to new time zones I have become wise to planning excursions to get the photos I want.Here are a few…Continue Reading »]]> http://www.ellynism.com/blog/wake-up/feed/ 1 CS5: the Latest & Greatest in Photoshop http://www.ellynism.com/blog/cs5-the-latest-greatest-in-photoshop/ http://www.ellynism.com/blog/cs5-the-latest-greatest-in-photoshop/#comments Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:55:35 +0000 Ellyn Norris http://www.ellynism.com/blog/?p=312 One of the most needed I anticipate to be “yeah” factor in CS5 version is we will now be able to click drag to zoom in and out in a fast and efficient pace. This will definitely speed up work flow in many image tasks we do on a day to day basis. I’ll say it “yeah”! One really cool feature added to Bridge is the ability to view all linked files. Montage, collage, illustrators and graphic designers who use many files in one document this feature should be very excited to see another smooth work flow aid as it allows you to view all files used in one document in the Bridge as linked files in one folder...Continue Reading »]]> http://www.ellynism.com/blog/cs5-the-latest-greatest-in-photoshop/feed/ 0 Recent Work; New Additions http://www.ellynism.com/blog/news/ http://www.ellynism.com/blog/news/#comments Sun, 25 Apr 2010 22:51:35 +0000 Ellyn Norris http://www.ellynism.com/blog/?p=53 One of my Holga photos is currently floating around as a label on Jones Soda Cream soda bottles!

This term was born out of need from the many questions posed from my students over the past five years. Students today often question the validity of digital technology and it’s role in photography. Is Photoshop cheating? What makes a photo a photo and what makes that fuzzy line between the camera and software? Great questions with lots of room of for dialogue...

Thoughts and Review on the G10

What surprised me most about the experience was the self-timer feature that knows when you look at the camera! I was introduced to face detection, a new and improved self-timer option which exploits face detection to wait for the photographer to enter the frame. I saw the prompt come up on the back screen and it seemed like a moment where a robot was telling me what to do...

“Super Wides” Then HDR

Like pant leg width, high dynamic range technique is a trend. The idea of what HDR could bring us “now converted” digital photographers seemed very ideal at first! Having to work with sensors with an exposure latitude range even more challenging than slide film, it would seem liberating to be able to combine several exposures of the same composition into one super wide toned image. But like the super wide pants trend, we tried, clichéd and are now starting to step back from HDR...
