Neuigkeiten, Tutorials und Fotografie-Tipps von The Photographer's Ephemeris
Wir nähern uns dem 12‑Monate‑Countdown zur totalen Sonnenfinsternis 2026, die die meisten Beobachter entweder von Island oder Spanien aus sehen werden. Es ist immer interessant zu fragen: „Was wäre, wenn wir am Tag der Finsternis das gleiche Wetter hätten wie in diesem Jahr?“
When planning a night photography or astrophotography shoot, the weather is a critical factor. It’s not just the obvious things such as the absence of rain and clouds, but many other factors that conspire to make great conditions, or not.
Seeing und Transparenz sowie Lichtverschmutzung und Rauch sind zwei der wichtigsten Faktoren für Astrofotografen bei der Entscheidung, wo und wann man ein Shooting planen sollte. Wir freuen uns, mit Photo WX™ neue Seeing‑ und Transparenz‑Vorhersagen in unserem Wetterdienst für Fotografen anzubieten.
Lighting is a critical aspect of architectural photography and something you should plan for in advance. Depending on the circumstances of your project, you may be able to pick and choose your time freely (e.g. personal projects, planning future travel), to exercise some choice within a finite time window…
At the end of our last article, we had corrected the converging verticals and the slight horizontal yaw of our photo, and yet things still aren’t quite right…
In this third post about architectural photography, we’ll look at how to fix converging verticals in your shots of buildings. If we can’t avoid unintended converging verticals in camera, we must fix them in post.
In this second post about architectural photography, we’ll discuss equipment selection (cameras, lenses, tripods, and tripod heads) and some of the implications of what gear you have at hand, particularly in post processing.
This is the first in a series of brief introductory articles on architectural photography. We’ll cover everything you need to know in order to plan, execute and process your images of buildings to a high standard. In this part, we’ll consider perspective and how it applies to architectural work.
We’re delighted to introduce Photo WX, our new weather service designed especially for photographers. You can now access weather maps designed especially for photographers, directly from the site.
And all of sudden, it’s September, the beginning of climatological autumn here in the northern hemisphere. It’s perhaps the most exciting time of all for outdoor photography - changing colors, unpredictable weather, and all-too-brief moments of perfect conditions to shoot the change foliage.
The photo above shows a rather unusual combination of subjects for southern Wyoming. This was taken during last month’s famous G5 solar storm, where the Aurora Borealis…
So, it finally happened. After months of prep and work to add solar eclipse features in Photo Ephemeris, we finally got to see the April 8 total eclipse! We traveled on a no-frills tour to a location near Torreón in northern Mexico.
