Painting with light can produce images that range from ethereal and beautiful to funky and fun, but how do you paint with light? What are you painting with? What are you painting on? Is expensive equipment required? Why does this technique sound so mysterious?

Trip to Venice
I love using Animoto.com to create cool videos from my images. Here’s a 30 second video I created using pictures from last summer. It was really easy to do…and did I mention that’s it’s free? Wheeee!

If you’re a photo beginner/photo enthusiast with a compact camera and have attempted to capture the action at your child’s basketball game, or any other situation where things are moving, you may have experienced some frustration in getting the shot. As fabulous as compact cameras can be for taking snap shots, they aren’t in the same league as a DSLR (that’s digital single lens reflex). DSLRs have faster processors that capture images faster. You can also interchange lenses, which is a big deal when you want to express your creativity and experiment with different looks and perspectives. I carry my compact camera with me everywhere, but if I want professional results I can always count on my DSLR to help me successfully capture the shot.
Check out these cool tutorial videos I did for Canon. You’ll learn basic camera techniques with the Canon EOS Rebel XSi, lenses, flashes, and accessories.

Greetings to everyone! I must apologize to you for being away from my blog for so long but I do have a really good excuse ☺ I was teaching digital camera basics and Photoshop onboard a cruise ship in Europe for almost a month. When I wasn’t teaching I was capturing images in many beautiful ports – as you might imagine, I was very busy and had a blast but now I’m home and getting back to business. Stay tuned for more posts with images and tips for various picture-taking scenarios. Meanwhile, I want to answer a few questions that many people had about the table-top pen monitor/tablet I was using on a few of the shows.
