This website is an expansion to my personal photoblog which you can find on www.apocalyps.ca. Here, I will share with you simple techniques on how to recreate photo "tricks" that you have seen on my photoblog as well as the basics of photography. This is nowhere near completion so if you feel you have some content you would like to add here, email me at visionatstaticblur.com.

Cloning in Photoshop

This tutorial will teach you how to use Adobe Photoshop to clone one person several times in one photo, you'll be able to produce something like this.

1. First, you need either a steady hand or a tripod. You stand in one place, while your subject moves into different positions.

2. What I did next is I copied all three images into one file, pasting them one on top of the other as new layers.

Motion Panning

A blurry photo has always been frowned upon, and photographers are constantly trying to take photos that are exposed properly and are not blurry. But blur is not always a bad thing. An effective way to use blurring to the advantage of the photographer is to use the panning technique to show movement along a straight line.

Level Horizon

It is important to keep the horizon parallel to edge of the photograph. The horizon level is easy to overlook when taking the photo but is easy to see when looking at it afterwards. Make sure that if you have a strong horizon level that you keep it level to the frame of the photo. Place the line one third of the way into the frame from the top or bottom (see Rule of Thirds).
