4th of July Portraits

Olathe Photographer — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:48:29 +0000

We’ve been having some fun with 4th of July portraits lately. And that just makes sense. Here is a portrait of a veteran of the United States Navy. Though he retired a couple years back it’s still a very big part of who he is.

And here are a couple of fun portraits of children celebrating the 4th of July.

Remember, this Saturday between 11:30 and 2:00 pm we are serving free hot dogs and chips to anyone that wants to stop by the studio to say “hello” and to look around. Past and future clients and friends are always welcome. Also, we’ll have a special sale on gift certificates you’ll want to know about good on that day only! (And Angel Babies will be joining us and they’ll be having a big sale, too!)

Celebrate your freedom.

Photo Tips From PTS

Olathe Photographer — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:37:15 +0000

Portraits Today Studios would like to give back to our loyal friends. So we are beginning a new, and hopefully re-occurring, feature category titled Photo Tips From PTS. Of course you know that PTS is short for Portraits Today Studios, right?

Today we are going to talk about the camera’s dials. Whether you shoot a Point and Shoot camera or a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera you probably have a dial that looks a little something like this Canon dial shown here. Most of you probably never take your camera off the Green Rectangle or P function. Am I right? Would you like to know a little more about the other picture dials?

The Head – The Head dial provides a limited depth of field. Have you ever seen a photo where the person in the photo is tack sharp and the background is really blurry so that it isolates the person and makes them look really good? That’s what this button is for.

The Mountains – The Mountains dial is letting you know there is going to be an almost limitless depth of field. Perfect for when you are taking beach photos or driving through Colorado Springs and want a great photo of Red Rocks. Also, if you’ve never photographed the endless Flint Hills in Kansas you’ve not lived. This setting would often times be perfect.

The Flower – The Flower is really a close-up setting. Say you want to get real close to that beautiful flower at the Overland Park Arboretum to bring in the pollen. This is a great setting. Another use could be a super close-up of someone’s eyes. The possibilities are endless.

The Running Man – The Running Man is a setting that speeds up the shutter speed to capture action. Junior’s soccer game? Use The Running Man. Perfect for outdoor action. A real nightmare for indoor action unless you compensate with external light.

The Man & Star – The Man & Star is a setting for night portraits. Take the photo to the right. My family and I (plus a girl friend of my 17 year old) were wandering around Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza last December. I didn’t have a tri-pod and no one wanted to take the time for me to really set up the shot. So I leaned my camera on a mailbox, set the camera to The Man & Star setting and used the pop-up flash on my DSLR and this is the image we got. Instead of just a shot of the lights or, worse, the kids with blackness behind them, we get the best of both worlds. But you will have slow shutter speeds so use some kind of camera support.

Crossed Out Lightning Bolt – This disables the camera’s flash. Say you were in a museum in Washington, DC or something. Then you’d use this.

In upcoming posts I will discuss these setting more in depth. It’s our hope here at Portraits Today Studios that you can use these tips to take better and more memorable photos of your vacations, special events and kids’ soccer games. Until then…
