We have some Great questions this week, covering lens flare, using wide angle lenses for shooting portraits and how the heck you take photos of lighting!
Here are this week’s questions:
Séamus MacGinnus:
Spyros and others: how does this happen? I’m referring to the circular prism in the lower left. I don’t remember any rainbows falling from the sky that day. Is it a bad lens or camera used by the wedding photographer? thoughts or opinions welcome.
Andre Audet:
Does anyone have experience in photographing people using a wide angle lens? I could use some tips… I recently bought at 14mm lens which is great for landscapes and stars, but I haven’t quite figured out how to make great photos of people with it yet. I don’t use it for portraits, mostly for photos of people doing something (tourism photography). Any advice or tips would be appreciated!
Kathaleen Blackwell:
Other than some luck on your side, how would you take pictures of lightning storms in the clouds (not necessarily the bright, beautiful strikes – those weren’t visible in this storm)?
I used to be scared of my flash, and I understand how intimidating flash photography can be, but a flash is just a tool. Once you understand how that tool works you’ll be using your flash to create photos that used to seem impossible.
