Our Vision through the Lens
We are currently a handful of people who love photography either as a hobby or profession.
We reside, work or visit various places within the boundaries of Kern County, California.
We have come together by way of various means, such as The Bakersfield Digital Photography MeetUp Group,
various groups on Flickr, California Photo Forum and through friends and family.
Our goal or mission is to learn from each other about the various aspects of photography while enjoying our craft.
Our hope is to someday be able to give back and contribute to the community.
There are no dues or fees for membership, so come and join us, teach us and learn from us as we grow and become an asset to our online and local communities.

How to Shoot Super Macro Photos
Posted by Herb on Thursday, November 06, 2008 (19:48:10) (20 reads)
In this post, professional photographer Yanik Chauvin[align=center] from Yanik’s Photo School shows us how to take stunning super macro photos.
I’m a big fan of macro photography. So much so that when I chose my first ever digital camera, the Nikon Coolpix 4500, it was mostly base on its macro capabilities. And when I purchased my Nikon D70 with kit lens, the next lens in my bag was the Sigma 105mm macro.

Halloween Editor's Note
Since Halloween is a holiday that presents terrific photo possibilities, it's no surprise that "How to Take Great Halloween Photographs" is one of our most popular "How To" features. Because we've received so many requests to run it again, we're happy to oblige. If you've never read this article on Halloween photos, we promise you'll take better pictures of the goblins and ghouls that you meet on All Hallows Eve after reading our Halloween photo tips. If you have read it in the past, why not review it as a brush up? And, for more merriment, don't forget to check out the NYIP Project Redeye Halloween Photo Challenge video on YouTube." After all, like Christmas, Halloween comes but once a year! If you see a ghost, don't forget to say "Boo!"

How to Photograph Autumn Color

-or-
It's the Leaves, not their Fall.
Plus: Fall Color FAQs.
By NYI Dean Chuck DeLaney
There is perhaps, no more pleasant outdoor photography adventure than the pursuit of the colors of autumn. Let's modify that – certainly no more solitary outdoor photography adventure exists. Frolicking in the woods with a model or two might strike some as even more pleasant.
Granted, there certainly are greater outdoor photography adventures, including many grueling and more dangerous ones. But a trek in a hardwood forest on an autumn day – morning, afternoon, or evening – with camera in hand, is hard to beat. Another plus: the subject matter is very accessible. For photographers who lack great mobility, fall colors are within reach.
Simply put, autumn photography is both pleasant and easy.
There are three main reasons for this. [align=center]
