Back in the days of film, prior to going on an assignment, I would stop at a camera store and purchase enough film for the shoot. Of course, I would estimate this from a shot list provided by my client and added extra to it, based on some WAG (Wild Ass Guessing) factor.
In most cases, I would buy the film in "blocks" of twenty, as 20 roll boxes of either 35mm 24 or 36 exposure film came cello-wrapped that way. I'd buy these blocks because they had the same emulsion number and, therefore, I could expect to have consistent results. Anything left over went into my refrigerator for those one off quickie assignments or for fun and testing.
After the assignment, I'd drop off the film, nore often E-6 chromes, in two batches--odd number rolls in on one day and even number when I picked up the first batch the next day. If there were any lab accidents, only half of my film was at risk at any one time.
Once back at my office with the developed chromes, I'd lay them out on a light table to view them. No matter what size film I used, 35mm, 120/220 or 4x5, I needed to view them with a magnifier. I'd go through each and every one, putting aside, in two batches, definite keepers and the garbage shots.
It's all so much easier with digital, including the last bit about culling the images. Instead of using a magnifier, I can look at each image full screen and even magnify it beyond that to see critical areas. Now, that I'm not restricted by a finite number of images (memory cards notwithstanding), I tend to shoot more pictures than necessary, even some grab shots along the way or some, I call, experimental.
Working through large batches of exposures requires a tool that can accomplish a number of tasks quickly. Recently, I had the go...

Initially, I was reluctant to add another software application to my workflow as I had thought importing the files into Adobe Lightroom and working with them there was enough. However, I can definitely see the efficacy of using Photo Mechanic on the front end to speedily get to a stage where I can do any necessary editing. Photo Mechanic displays JPG, TIFF and RAW (also JPG + RAW) files quicker than most any application I have used.
I don't know about you, but frankly, I really don't like the grunt work--I'd rather be shooting or drooling over new gear. Photo Mechanic is quite efficient at what it does and for what it does, it leads the pack.
(1) It's always wise and highly recommended you make at least one other copy of the folder with all of the images as a backup. You should never work on the only originals.

The set of instructions outlaid clearly address a specific target audience and that is users of the Adobe Photoshop application. The manual is intended for a wide range of users from beginners to regular users of the application. However, it mainly targets those seeking help in the use of tools. The manual was mainly created to dispel the widespread reputation of the application being quite hard to learn. This categorized set of instructions can prove helpful to someone who has just started using it or anyone who wants to look back on how to use a specific tool on the application. The manual however, does not exclusively state who the intended audiences are.

It is very important how you put things up on the screen. It tells the viewer what the movie is about. Every single frame in a movie tells the fate of the characters.
This trend also found roots in the emergence of photographic technology, originally developed in the early 1800’s and advanced continuously until the present. During this time, artists and photographers suddenly found that they could much more easily captur...

With camera equipment simultaneously rising in capabilities and dropping in prices, it means more and more photographers have been able to make the leap from enthusiast to professional. For those already established in the industry, they might resent the added
What is Macro photography: Macro photography is an image where the subject ranges from 1:10 to 1:1 the size of the original subject. Many macro photographs focus on very small objects like insects and technology.
As you can see, there is a big world waiting for you to capture and mold its image. Whether you just want to remember that sunset on your honeymoon, your little one’s first steps or even if you click your shutter at everything you pass… the right equipment certainly helps. Whatever equipment you use, with good lighting and attention to such details as film type and speed, distance from subject, rule of thirds, and an eye for what you want, you can make beautiful photos that you and yours will cherish for generations to come.
Through this entire process the timing layer has regulated the speed of which the reagent process through the film. This is done to ensure the non-pre-mature development.

When you first get your brand new, expensive and sophisticated DSLR camera, you may be forgiven for thinking that's all you really need to take good photos... and, for a time, you're content to explore the myriad of features and settings that festoon the outer body of the camera, as well as those hidden among the many pages of your camera's bottomless pit of menus and sub menus.

Offering the unique ability to visually and audibly convey a story, films remain a cornerstone in modern society. Combined with a viewer’s desire to escape the everyday parameters of life, and the excitement of enthralling themselves deep into another world, many people enjoy what films stand to offer. With the rising popularity of films across the world, the amount of film makers increases every day. Many technological innovations mark the advancement of film making, but the essential process remains the same. Pre-production accounts for everything taken place before any shooting occurs, followed by the actual production of the film, post-production will then consist of piecing the film together, and finally the film must reach an audience. Each step of this process contributes to the final product, and does so in a unique right. The process of film making will now start chronologically, stemming from the idea of the story, producing that story into a film, editing that footage together, and finally delivering that story to its viewers.
