Photography Week in Review for April 15-21, 2008

How can you snap a prize-winning photo of your child during her soccer game? What company is the leader in the production of indestructible cameras? And where do you begin to sort a pile of pictures the size of a small child? The answers to those questions and more are included in this edition of the Photography Week in Review.

April 15thHave Camera Will Travel. With the busy summer travel season just a few weeks away I thought it would be a good time to review some basic tips on how to make the most of photo ops while you are on the road. This blog details some pointers you can use whether you are traveling by sea, sky or land.

April 16thTaking Pictures Under the Sea. A recent trip to Hawaii got me thinking about taking a class on underwater photography. If I begin experimenting now, when my daughter does start swimming on her own I will be able to capture her every move from under the water instead of from the shore. Find out what I learned about the subject in this blog.

April 19thAre You an Astrophotographer? Recently, my fellow blogger Courtney Mroch asked me for tips on how to shoot constellations and I thought I would write a simple post on camera set up, focusing, and lighting. Then I realized there is much more to astrophotography than one blog could accommodate. Therefore, I decided to devote an entire series of blogs regarding astrophotography beginning with this one.

April 20thCapturing Constellations. This was part two in my series dealing with astrophotography. It details the best ways to capture constellations using a tripod or a telescope.

April 21stLearning More About Shooting Constellations. This blog highlights one of the best places a photographer can practice shooting constellations. It’s staffed by some of the nation’s best astrophotographers and won’t cost you an arm and a leg to get in.
