Digital Photography

Hello photography enthusiasts. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Doug Sahlin (pronounced like: Celine, or for you car nuts: Saleen). I’m glad to follow in the footsteps of Julie Adair King who has created wonderfully informative posts for this blog. I intend to continue that tradition with my own spin.

Photography is my passion. I feel absolutely naked unless I have a camera within close proximity. When I’m looking through a camera viewfinder or gazing at the world on a LCD monitor, I’m more observant. I see something I’d normally take for granted in a new light, and then figure out how to turn the subject into an interesting picture. In my blog posts, I’ll share my enthusiasm for photography with you and some of the knowledge I’ve learned while photographing places, people, and things.  Some of the stuff you’ll find in my blog posts are:

• Information about how to photograph specific subjects such as flowers, landscapes, people, and wild things that run fast.
• Reviews and comments about interesting equipment or emerging technology.
• Interesting photography tips and techniques.
• Tips and tricks for getting the most out of your photos after you download them to your computer.
• Some of my own photography. I’ll tell you why I took the photograph, what settings I used, and any image-editing tweaks I performed in the computer.
• Surprises.  I’m constantly learning new things, and I experiment a lot. When I find something I think is Blogworthy, I’ll write a post about it.
• Fun. Life can be challenging. Photography is fun, and positively addictive.

One thing you won’t find in my blog posts are confusing terms (Can you say, “techno-speak”?). When a term or acronym must be used, I’ll follow up with a concise easy-to-understand description of the term or acronym.

If you’ve read this far into the post, you’re probably wondering why I’m the author of this blog. Well, I’ve written books about digital photography including: “Digital Photography Workbook for Dummies.” In addition, I am a professional photographer, the president of “Superb Images” ( a wedding and event photography company), and a member in good standing of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) and PPA (Professional Photographers of America).  I also eat, breathe and sleep digital photography. I’m constantly thinking of new ways to photograph common subjects, and experimenting with new techniques in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. In addition, I’m a card-carrying geek who thinks digital technology and photography is a match made in heaven.

Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for some interesting posts on digital photography.
