Rings & Things Or Jewelry Photography Tips

by Warren Krupsaw

When I was 10, my parents sent me off for Two Whole Months to a distant boy’s camp while they traveled in Europe. Besides becoming extremely homesick, I got caught up in an activity right next to Arts & Crafts called Silver Shop. Here, one learned how to use a jeweler’s saw, torch, files, proper sanding and finishing.

Photographing Color for B&W with Digitial Cameras

by Christopher B. Derrick

One of the most captivating qualities of photos is the impressionistic quality of the medium, and this is more poignant and potent with B&W imagery (mainly because we don’t see monochromatically, so inherently we’re in an imaginary space).  Yet in today’s digital age, pure monochromatic photographic work requires more than just switching a setting to “B&W.”  There is an extensive amount of post-processing that you’ll need to do with a digital color image to get a quality B&W image.
