Adorama Camera Enters Tenth Week of '100 in 100' Photography Tips Series

"As we get closer to the holiday buying season, we're going to include mini-guides to help our readers make equipment-purchasing decisions," says AIRC Editor Mason Resnick. "We kick things off this week with our guide to superzooms, which are compact cameras with long-range, built-in zoom lenses, and we'll show the benefit of these cameras by using sample photos. We also have a mini guide to film and flatbed scanners so readers can learn how to convert their negatives, slides and prints into digital files."

In addition to the two mini-guides, visitors this week will learn: how to minimize digital noise, also called grain, in their digital photos; how to fine-tune tonal quality in their black-and-white photos; how to photograph fireworks; a photojournalist's technique, called "stacking the composition"; and how to use (but not over-use) a polarizing filter.

Last week, visitors learned: how to get winning wildlife photos at the zoo; the best way to shoot video clips with compact digital cameras; why windows make great photographic subjects; the importance of color in compositions, a photojournalist technique called "stacking the composition," how to use single-point perspective, precise focusing methods and how breaking a pattern can grab a viewer's attention.

Resnick is inviting bloggers and webmasters with photo-related content to link to "100 in 100," (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?article=100in100&op=academy_new). "If you have photography-related content on your site, this will add value to it," he notes.

Daily and weekly summaries will be available via the AIRC's News Desk RSS feed (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=NewsDesk_Home).

Online photo magazine at a retail site?

AIRC - Adorama Imaging Resource Center (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=academy) is the choice destination for photographers at all levels of experience who want to improve their picture-taking and image-editing skills. AIRC has over 275 how-to photography articles, buying guides and picture-selling advice, as well as daily breaking news about the photography industry, written by a team of top photography experts.

Why would Adorama, a well-respected New York-based camera retailer, publish what is essentially an online photo magazine? Resnick says, "we believe the more information and knowledge we can provide, the more people will trust Adorama both as a reliable information source and as a place where they can feel comfortable buying their photographic gear."
