About
I am an Idaho based photographer specializing in stock and portrait photography. My favorite subjects to shoot are sailing, pets, general outdoors and portraits.
My main company, Positively Digital, keeps me busy not only with photography, but with video and audio projects along with some web design as well. Check out my business web page by clicking on Positively Digital.
I have an ever growing stock photograph library which can be viewed by clicking the links to the left which point to iStockPhoto.com. I also do photography for advertising campaigns.
If you are in need of a photographer for graduation, family or pet photos, please contact me by sending an email to jim @ positivelydigital.com.
You will also see me around many of the Boise sporting events, taking thousands of photos of the athletes as they compete. These images can be viewed by clicking on IdahoSportsPics.com
Hi Jim,
I stumbled across your website tonight while searching for tips about using an Olympus E10. Your pictures are great and the explanations of how you’ve taken them are interesting and really helpful.
I’ve noticed that you’ve captured the settings you used to take each photo. I’m curious how you record those values? The reason I ask is that because I’m new to photography I’m experimenting with the settings and taking lots of photos. But when I take them home and find the one worth keeping, I usually can’t remember which setting were used! Do you have any suggestions on how to keep track?
Thanks,
Ralph
Ralph,
With the majority of digital cameras (and the E10 is one of them), all the data about the exposure is captured as part of the image. It is referred to as Metadata. You do need to use some software to read this data, but it is there. The one I use is called “Adobe Lightroom.” I think most any image editing application can do it as well, such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. There is a free program from Google called “Picasa” that may give you what you are looking for.
The nice thing is that this data stays with the image, even after sending it via email.
Hope this helps.
Hi nice post, i read your blog from time to time but i was wondering something. I also run a blog on a similar topic, but i get 1,000′s of spam comments and emails every day does that happen to you.. Any ideas to stop it? I currently have commenting disabled but i want to turn it back on.. Thanks!
With WordPress (blog software) you can get plug-ins to handle SPAM. It gets the majority of it.
