Ken's Picks
These are videos or articles that I feel are of particular

want to whet your
appetite for learning with a few that I've watched and thought were especially
helpful.

Extreme Macro
Photography
http://extreme-macro.co.uk/
This site is a comprehensive source guide geared towards budget-conscious
intermediate level macro photographers. Lenses, techniques, lighting,

Bokeh Simulator &
Depth of Field Calculator
https://dofsimulator.net/en/
This application calculates the depth of field in a photo, visualizes it and
simulates the background blur (bokeh) based on parameters like: lens focal
length, aperture, sensor size and distance of the object and the background
from the camera. Changes in parameters are immediately visible in the
simulation. This allows to easily observe how they affect the final
effect. Added 10/8/2018 |

Remove Color Casts in
Photoshop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09XC9WGTLyc
Color casts can be difficult to identify. With this technique it is quick to
identify the inverse and use solid fill layers and blend-if sliders to
counteract the color cast. There are many more useful tutorials on this
YouTube Channel of Michael Woloszynowicz. Old Video Added 3/7/2014 |
Adobe Bridge vs
Lightroom
https://youtu.be/HHgawkGxhKg?si=5gqqEhnZiRmH1rpx
https://digital-photography-school.com/lightroom-vs-adobe-bridge/
I have been asked the question, "Bridge comes with Photoshop, why do I need
Lightroom?" Also, "I have Lightroom, why would I use Bridge?" This video
really helped make the distinction between the two. Added 7/1/2025 |
