Shooting in Kelvin | Photog Friday

photography education, diana gordon photography, photo

Shooting in Kelvin was a game changer for me as a photographer. No more worrying about yellow tones from lights anymore! Kelvin is a scale to measure the color of light.  Each image you take has a color temperature attached to it. A lot of people default to using the white balance settings that are...

            Software and Programs | Photog Friday

            software, programs, diana gordon photography, photo

              The most valuable knowledge I have gained from other photographers has been through shadowing them/watching them work AND other photographers telling me what type of programs and software that they use. Those moments have always been game-changers for me. I have been able to grow or elevate my business over the years with the...

                Chromatic Aberration | Photog Friday

                  I am diving in deep about a technical problem today- chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration or color fringing is an optical problem caused by a lens’ ability to focus and bring together all the wavelengths of color on the same focal point. Sounds super confusing, but in a nutshell it means that when you photograph...
