Ultimate Photography Bundle 2018

The Ultimate Photography Bundle 2018 | https://www.roseclearfield.com

I’m so excited to be sharing the Ultimate Photography Bundle 2018 with you today. I purchased my first Ultimate Bundle in 2016 and have been a huge fan of Ultimate Bundles ever since. My initial purchase was the first ever photography bundle. Among many other fantastic resources, it included Pinch of Yum’s Tasty Food Photography. I’d wanted to read Tasty Food Photography for a while and had never bitten the bullet. For the full retail price of Tasty Food Photography and one, maybe two, other resources, I got 36 resources, including ebooks, videos, and Photoshop actions.

There is no question that the first photography bundle was a fantastic value. In the last couple of years as Ultimate Bundles have gained massive popularity, the bundles have reached a whole new level. The Ultimate Photography Bundle 2018 features 26 ebooks, 21 ecourses, 1 membership site, and 10 tools. For $97, you get content valuing $5,030.63.

Valentine's Day Baby Photo Idea

Valentine’s Day Baby Photo Idea

Valentine’s Day is such a fun holiday with kids. Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers are the perfect ages to pose for cute Valentine’s Day photos. If you don’t do a lot of your own photography, putting together a Valentine’s Day shoot may be a little overwhelming. With a few simple props and some great lighting, you’ll be on your way to creating an adorable picture to print for cards, grandparent gifts, and more.

Since I have a seven month old for Valentine’s Day this year, I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day baby photo idea. You can easily customize this concept for toddlers and preschoolers. I put together the entire setup with items I had on hand in a single morning. In this post, I break down the full process to make it as straightforward as possible for you and your little ones.

2017 Goals Summary #4: Photo Editing and Backing Up

I set some really ambitious 2017 goals for myself. I posted regular monthly updates for my goals through May and then continued to work on the goals through the remaining seven months of 2017. I’m sharing my overall outcome with my 2017 goals before sharing my 2018 goals.

Goal #4 was to edit, export, and back up all of my 2015 and 2016 photos. I went into 2017 with a huge backlog of photos in Lightroom. I was way overdue to get caught up on editing and clean up my Lightroom catalog. I also wanted to make room on my hard drive for photos from our 2017 Europe trip. Although I didn’t spell out a goal for new photo editing, exporting, and backing up (aka keeping up with 2017 photos), keeping up was part of this goal.

10 Steps to Improve Your Food Photography

10 Steps to Improve Your Food Photography | https://www.roseclearfield.com

One of my favorite aspects of starting and working on this blog the past year and a half has been improving my food photography. I’ve been snapping pictures of my food for articles and social media posts for years. But I didn’t get serious about it until recently. Producing posts with my original recipes and photos of them that I’m really proud of is extremely empowering.

While I’m far from an expert on food photography, I have learned quite a bit, mostly through trial and error and studying as many great food photos as I can. Like any type of photography, many people will look at great food photos and assume that the photographer is using a DSLR camera and/or has amazing lighting in his/her kitchen. While a high-end camera and gorgeous lighting are assets for any photographer, there’s a lot more that goes into stunning food photography.

Photography lighting conditions aren’t always ideal. From a dimly lit church to a dark night club, sometimes you won’t have fantastic lighting for your photos. In certain situations, a flash is a great solution. Other times, a flash isn’t an option. Not all locations or environments allow for a flash, such as a museum or a dance recital. There may also be instances where you want to shoot in low light and don’t have a flash with you. Instead of skipping out on taking pictures or settling for low-quality, grainy images, learn how to take great pictures in low light without a flash.
