Tuesday, May 7th, 2013Graduation Party Fun
Monday, March 25th, 2013Here’s a great idea to liven up any party or event – shoot pictures on green screen! You can set up the easy-to-use green screen backdrop virtually anywhere, then just pop them into the included Photo Illusions software for instant composite photos. Fast, fun, and affordable – your party will be a hit! Here are just a few images I created using the Erin Manning Creation Kit.
Watch this video and I’ll show you how I did it.

News flash: The Whole Picture is Back!
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009
If you haven’t heard about it before, I hosted twenty six episodes of a digital photography series called “The Whole Picture.” It’s an action-packed show with lots of information for the photo beginner/photo enthusiast, winning seven Telly Awards to date.
The show aired on the DIY Network and HGTV-HD from 2005 to early 2008, but disappeared from the line up March 2008. Now it’s back on the air! I’ve heard reports that it’s also airing in the Philippines and Australia, and possibly other parts of the world too. The new schedule is a total DVR recording situation, unless you’re up during the wee hours.

In this series I explain, demonstrate and illustrate every phase of digital photography, from the basics of composition, exposure and lighting to using your computer and printer and enhancing your images before you print them out. In each episode I teach students with limited photography knowledge how to use their camera, improve their photographic skills and complete a specific photography project. Every show is an all-inclusive lesson on digital photography so you’ll have everything you need to get The Whole Picture.
