Calm Down, Calm Down, I'm Published Again

[Marzipanogram]

I'm published again in this week's Amateur Photographer magazine
They must be short of entries

They're featured some shots I sent in of Liverpool.

This is a link to my Liverpool pictures if you'd like to look Liverpool

 

[Cosimo]

Splendid pictures! Congratulations

 

[Hodders]

Do they pay ?

Nice pics BTW - you should at least get them onto stock sites.... You might even get a bit of cash for them.

Thank you all very much

Yes, they pay 50 of your Britisher pounds, if they use your shots.
I do use a stock agency.
I've noticed I don't get many people looking at my website though, even though it's a national magazine.

My personal choice when shooting interiors, is to use a tripod (when possible) and go for a symmetrical composition.
Check your histogram for blown out shadows and highlights and bracket when needed.

Thank you
I recommend giving it a go and send some shots to the magazine.
If you look on the Amateur Photographer website for the Reader's Spotlight section, you should find an email address.
Then send 10 low res photos via email, they'll contact you to send the high res versions, if they like you shots.
So at first, it will only cost the price of an email.

That's my usual technique, so at least I'm on the right track! How do you blend exposures where needed? Do you use HDR software (I can never get a natural look with it :/ ) or do you paint on layers in PS for the bits that need it, or something else altogether?

nice one mate!

I prefer to paint on the layers.
I only use HDR software, when I'm lazy
Then I turn it into a B&W, just so it doesn't look a mess.

haha, that's what I do as well with the mono conversion. I always find it hard to paint in the layers without there being an obvious line between the two layers. Do you use a low opacity brush at the edges or just 100%?

Sorry for all the questions, I love shooting churches/cathedrals/interiors and I'd love to be able to produce shots as clean as yours.
