Tips & tricks on running your 365 project
We're working on a getting started guide for new tookapic users and we're gathering all the tips & tricks we can get. Post your piece of advice for newbies. Here's mine:
-
Carry your camera everywhere. I missed too many moments before and now I have my camera always with me.
-
Take pics in the early morning. The light is unique. There's much more going on in the morning. More opportunities to capture an interesting moment.
What would be your advice?
Paweł Kadysz That's so true. And I'm sure you're not talking about photoshopping out objects from a photo but just color grading. Setting the right mood for a photo. There was a video showing how much you can change the actual mood with just a few mouse clicks. I'll find it and post it here.
Peter Yeah, not talking about some crazy photo manipulations. I see a lot of new photographers don't get their white balance right, many photos are under exposed, they are propably staying away form curves (in Lr) and that's a big mistake :P. A tutorial wrapping this things up would be great ;)
Jennifer Don't be intimidated or discouraged by the gorgeous shots other people have taken. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. Everyone was a beginner at some point, and it's nothing to worry about! The only way to get better is to keep working at it. Pick something -you- enjoy and want to improve upon, and maybe even ask one of those very skilled people for some tips! Someday you might find yourself being approached by someone for advice, but in order to get there, you need to keep improving.
Also, have fun with it!! Don't view this as a chore. That will kill motivation and the project in just a few days. When you catch yourself looking a little longer at something and admiring it a bit, that's the time to pull out the camera and get a shot of it.

Peter Learn as much as you can about post-processing. Experiment with different effects, create your style. Go crazy with those sliders! Its a great moment when you see a 'before' photo after 10-50 minutes spent in the app.
