Don’t forget about March Mono Month for the iffles.com monthly themes. The above photo is one that I might not have converted to black and white if it wasn’t for the theme, and I’m so glad I did, because it turns out I like it better like that.

• This looks a bit dangerous to me, but it does result in some cool looking photos. It’s taking photos of a burning light bulb filament.
• Did you know you can create custom shapes of your bokeh? Well, here’s 5 ways to tell a story using that technique (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry, there’s a link in there that explains how to do it, too)
• Light Stalking recently posted a list of post production mistakes. I have to admit I don’t agree that all the things they mention are quite as bad as they seem to imply, but it’s a good list to read regardless.
• Light Stalking also recently posted 10 tips for shooting in the rain – something I admit I don’t do enough of because I haven’t yet done #2 on their list, which is “invest in rain gear”.
• I still haven’t done any photography without available light, but if I ever attempt that, I think this post about gels from Ronan Palliser would be a must-read. Even without having any of the things he talked about, I found it a really informative read.
• Ronan also posted a complete workflow on how he created a stunning black and white landscape photograph
• Looks like Matt Stratton is starting a video tutorial series on Lightroom. Here’s the first one about importing photos into Lightroom. I’ve never actually used Lightroom, so I can’t tell you if the content is good or not, but I can say the video looked very nice!
• Here’s a quick tutorial on strobist about how to use a high-pass filter in post production. It’s written for photoshop, but it works in Gimp, too if you have the high pass filter I talked about in this entry.
