My favorites Photographers blogs
Lately, some of my friends asked me what are the best photographers blogs on internet.
I answered swiftly: “It depends of your own artistic view, after all, the best blog for a fashion photographer is different than the one for a wedding photographer”.
But I still promised that I’ll do a post with my own favorites! And I think in a future post I’ll write about my favorites websites too.
So here we go:
Blogs I check almost everyday:
- Strobist The best place to learn some new tricks for your lighting equipment!
- Chase Jarvis This guy is… Wait for it… Awesome! Really, he is a good photographer and never hesitates to share his thoughts with the community!
- Scott Kelby’s Photoshop Insider Lot’s of infos on photoshop and lightroom, great guests posts etc… A must!
Blogs I check once a week:
- Joe McNally’s Damn I dig this guy, he’s Funny and incredibly talented : Give him a speedlight and he’ll do a good shoot anywhere! (Even at the top of the empire state building)
- Zack Arias His Onelight Dvd is a must have for a beginner photographer and the blog is full of good tips!
- Vincent Laforet I think he is more a filmmaker than a photographer nowadays but, hell, he is good! (Remember the first canon 5DmkII video ‘Reverie’ shoot in 2days? It’s him!)
- Lighting-Essentials Don GIannatti aka Wizwow is a strong opinionated guy and I like that! Well his blog is also full of tips to learn how to light!
- Canon Rumors Well I’m a Canon Shooter and a Geek! (Worry not my Nikon lovers: Nikon Rumors is the place for you!)

And that’s it! And you what are your favorites blogs, the ones you check everyday?
Calibrating monitors…
Today while I was editing photos of my last shooting I had so much difference between what I was seeing on my macbook, my cintiq 12WX and my Samsung SynMaster T260 monitor, that I decided to try to calibrate all my monitors using the eye-one display 2.
I first tried the normal way with the software offered with the eye-one : Match 3, the result weren’t really good on the macbook, so I decided to try the demo version of ColorEyes Display Pro, a software I heard of on some forums. After one hour , all I had was a blank screen and nothing I could do… Had to connect another monitor so I could change the profile… not a really good experience!
So I tried again Eye-One Match 3 with some advanced settings thanks to the blog questionsphoto.com (In French) and this time I finally got some great colors on my macbook ! Settings: White point D65, Gamma 2.2, Luminance 110cd/m² with less ambient light.
With 4 hours lost in total I don’t think I’ll try again calibrating with Coloreyes display pro, too much things to do but I would love to explore this software more since it’s supposed to be the top maybe I just did something wrong in the setup.
Update: ok on the website of integrated color they say there is a lot of problems with Mac OSX 10.5.6 (what I use as you expect) … Need to wait for the next version before I can really evaluate this software.
