Bill Sullivan developed a situation so that various subjects could be defined by the constraints of exactly the same mechanical apparatus. The scenario consisted of someone passing through a subway turnstile. At the moment that the subjects passed through the turnstile, unknown to them, he took their picture stationed at a distance of eleven feet. Bill stood there turning pages of a magazine observing subjects out of the corner of my eye, waiting for only the moment when they pushed the turnstile bar to release the shutter.
His images are fascinating and are inspiring. They encourage us to try something different and when we do it shows what can be achieved.

Aimed at the entry and intermediate level photographer, it is heavily devoted to equipment and technique-focused photography content.
From the IPC Media website:
Publishing director Alex Robb says: “This is an exciting and innovative new venture for the photo portfolio. The editorial team have worked incredibly hard to create bespoke content, including technique videos and other interactive content. I am delighted that we have secured distribution to around two million photographers to ensure that as many people as possible benefit from the excellent tips and advice. Better Digital Photography is a further indication of how IPC continues to innovate in this competitive sector.”

Photography ... Tips & Tricks
=lostcontact
reports, December 13, 2007
reports, December 13, 2007These are a few tips i put together from a set of rules i normally go by when im out taking photos on location somewhere, or taking shots in general, trust me these tips have been collected from a variety of sources and have these points have helped me a lot. I just posting them on there to try and help people and give a little something back to the dA community.
[-Freedom Of The Press-]
First rule I would tell anyone starting in Photography, 'Be Bold', in Photojournalism there is no prize for second place, this rule also applies in any other type of photography. If you in a crowd don’t shy away cause people are looking at you cause your taking a picture. I have so many people come up to me and start talking to me about my work and such. People are more interested than you think. So be bold, be proud of what your doing.
[-Bigger Is Better-]
When taking photos, take them in the most high spec you can. I take all of my shots in 3696 by 2464 pixels, on my 1gb card that gives me 456 shots. Now this is perfect for me because i take alot of photos in one session, this gives me a relatively, 'high resolution', large images to work with and also means i don’t have to keep changing memory cards all the time. Also how you store your images is important. Images are normally saved by the camera in JPEG format (unless your using RAW), JPEG is ok for taking photos, but is not good for continuously editing your shots. Tests by a leading Photography Magazine have shown have JPEG tend to degrade the image each time you save. This is due to the compression process that image goes through. I recommend saving your chosen images in PNG format. This is a ‘Lostless’ file format which wont degrade the images, no matter how many times you edit and save it. These PNG images are pretty big size wise compared to Jpeg size, (average of 8meg for 3696 by 2464 shot), but the extra file size is well worth it to save your work from being degraded. (as a side note PNG cant be sent via MSN the software rules the large file sizes for a image a high risk, way to get around this is to zip the PNG file, this wont change the file size but MSN will let a zipped files transfer without automatically deleting it the other end)
[-Gadgets Gadgets Gadgets-]
Some Photographers need assistants to carry all of their photography gear ... You don’t need that much, there are a few items i would recommend getting but the amount of gear you get will depend on your camera. I have a Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Zoom, costing About £300 new. It’s a normal digital camera, not a D-SLR, which means i don’t have to carry extra lens. The 2 most important items I would recommend investing in would be, a high quality camera bag and a good solid tripod. The camera bag is a blessing cause i can carry all of my equipment I need in it and i know its all safe from the elements and accidental damage, (any camera of any price can get broken and a broken camera is useless to anyone). The tripod doesn’t have to be the most expensive, or the biggest, but i recommend getting a really solid tripod, don’t want it to break or fall over with your camera fixed on top.
[-Its All Business-]
First rule i ever learnt, Professionalism is Key. There are a few tricks to looking more professional than you really are. One, get a domain name, costs like £3 ($5) a year, not much but gives off a more professional image, do what i do, link it to your dA account (or these new portfolios dA are doing soon). Secondly, people wont remember you unless you given them a reason to, get some cheap business cards printed up, there are machines that can do it on the spot, the designs are normally pretty simple, but that’s what i use. Basic details on the cards, name, website address (get the domain name first), contact number, email address (often get email redirects with domain names). Put down on your cards that your a 'Freelance Photographer', doesn’t put huge pressure on you to produce Professional grade work, but sounds better than 'Amateur'. Always have some business cards on you, even when your not taking shots, you could get chatting to anyone like i often do, pop them a card and leave it to them to check out the website.
[-The Media Is Your Friend-]
Newspapers and websites buy images, i have been at protests and public events where I have been there before 'The Professionals' turn up. Now some of these event/incidents carry on all day, so a photographer can turn up late and still get a shot or to for their newspaper or such. I say, make them pay! If you can get to a event or incident (fire at a house or something) you could very easily get your work published by your local newspaper or in extreme cases by national papers. If they want to run a story and you say 'I have images' they will pay you for them. Im listed as a ‘Freelancer’ with some of my local papers. Doesn’t always work, people often beat me to the events or get better shots, but its fun rubbing elbows with Pro's, I have learnt alot from them. But for me its more about the publicity than the pay. Your name will be at the bottom of any shots you take.
[-Storage-]
I store every photo i have ever taken in the last 3 years, finished deviations & unedited shots for stock, they all sit on a external hard-drive. This 80gb external hard-drive acts like a backup for my work, i have had viruses before which has caused me to lost work. I was lucky i have transferred alot of work onto CD for a friend to look at so i was able to get about 90% of it back. Really made me think, so i now back up my work once a week. Also means in the mass of higher res finished deviations, it wont slow my computer down jamming it full of stuff I wont need very often. Well worth investing in.

Firstly, there is no guarantee that your name will appear on an image published in a magazine or newspaper. They're not obliged to credit you either. A polite word may get you a byline in the future, but I wouldn't make a big fuss over it if they use your photo without credit. If you're not being paid then you should rightly expect credit, but don't assume it.
Secondly, while the press do have freedom it is not extended to every photographer. If you plan on attending events such as house fires or road traffic accidents you need to know procedures. On arriving you need to find the incident officer who is in charge. They may well ask you for your press card, which shows you are a bona fide member of the press, before allowing you to take photos. You could find yourself being arrested for preventing an officer carrying out their duty if you decide to take photos without permission.
There are also moral issues and privacy laws to consider when covering events. If you take photos far away with a very long lens you can be seen as breaching their right to privacy. If you shoot very close up with a wide angle you could be charged with harrassment or intimidation.

Jpeg is NEVER ok for taking your pics, if your camera can shoot in RAW and you AREN'T, it is like going to a Mexican restaurant and ordering a Hamburger.
Plain and simple folks, IF your cam shoots in RAW, YOU HAD BETTER BE DOING IT!

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask "how," while others of a more curious nature will ask "why." Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information. - Man Ray

and i dunno if it's the same with everyone else but when i save in raw, it requires like a certain program to view the picture, unless i save it as raw + fine or something, then it saves two images

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming, cannot cease for the fear of silent nights.
All my press buddies shoot in JPEG and always will. No time for RAW, and i've tried!
Everywhere else... it's RAW or the highway.
