Shooting Tethered in Lightroom 3 – Video Tutorial

lr logo Shooting Tethered in Lightroom 3   Video TutorialAs you guys know, I’m a big fan of Lightroom. And with Lightroom 3 out, I’ve discovered many cool tweaks and upgrades like super fast importing and disk deletion as well as image preview generation. They seem like little things but it just keeps time on your side just a bit more.

Lightroom 3 just came out a few days ago and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to show you my favorite new upgrade. :) This isn’t a new feature in Lightroom 3. It’s an upgrade.

From Theory to Creativity to Practice

Published by Yanik under Personal

IMG 3649.thumbnail From Theory to Creativity to PracticeIt’s been a looooooooooooooong time since I posted a new tutorial on YPS.  2010 has been a changing year for me both personally and professionally.  I needed to refocus my photography career. Believe it or not, I was getting bored. I was loosing my passion. Yup, you read correctly. And why was that, I asked myself. I still love taking photos. I do it every day with my iPhone and I don’t get tired of it. Those of you following me on Twitter, Facebook or Flickr see them.  I still like shooting for my clients. So what was the missing piece? That spark that got me going? That was my million dollar question…

Lighting Tutorial: Fashion Lighting Made Easy

Published by Yanik under Lighting Tutorials,TUTORIALS

cover 1149.thumbnail Lighting Tutorial: Fashion Lighting Made EasyI did a shoot back in February for one of my regular clients that was more fashion oriented. It was a 3-day shoot here in Montreal at the Blah Blah Studio.

The most important thing was to have consistent lighting throughout the 3 days since the chosen photos would be used for both the cover and chapter openers. Continuity was the key.

So we spent roughly 30 minutes testing various lighting setups. From simple one light to more complex with up to Continue Reading »

YPS Blog Downtime

Published by Yanik under Personal

broken link.thumbnail YPS Blog DowntimeIt had to happen at some point….. roughly 3 days ago Yanik’s Photo School got a bug. The only page you could access was the index page.  All other links were corrupted.
vide YPS Blog Downtime
The thing is that I was on a shoot and then went directly out of town for the weekend none the wiser. Boy was I surprised when I accessed YPS on Saturday to find out it was down! PANIC! I tried installing a backup… nothing.  I tried re-posting some content…. nothing. I googled far and wide in cyber space to find any hint… nothing. I called my server to see if they had done something… nope.

It was only today that I finally found out what had happened. The htacces file had vanished. How and why is still a mystery since I hadn’t touched YPS before the event. The happy thing is that all is back in order!

Bokeh Masters Kit Giveaway!

Published by Yanik under Contests

YAN 4191.thumbnail Bokeh Masters Kit Giveaway!Udi over at DIYPhotography.net sent me a Bokeh Masters Kit a while back and asked me to play around with it and give him my impressions. I actually wrote a detailed review for all of you back in December.

If you’re too lazy to read my review, I can sum it all up by saying that it’s a unique camera ad-on that’s well worth it for anyone looking to produce original and creative imagery.

I like the Bokeh Masters Kit so much that I asked Udi if I could give a few away here on YPS.  So guess what? Yanik’s Photo School has Continue Reading »
