Guest Post: Don’t Miss the Story – by Rob Jones

April 5, 2010 in Guest Blogger, Inspiration, Personal, Photography, TJM Media Group

Hi gang. First of all I’d like to thank Jason for giving me the opportunity to take the helm of such a great blog. As a fellow blogger, the quality and consistency of posts coming from this web address is something to be admired. Jason keep up the great work.

To be honest, when Jason first approached me with the request to guest blog, I had every intention to use the opportunity to put together some funny, two-bit post on photographers and all their quirks. As you know, we’re a different breed of people and I’ve found we all enjoy poking fun at ourselves and others like us. However, that blog entry is going to have to wait for a future post, because the events of the last few days have shifted the attitude and emotion I have to bring to the virtual table. Thanks in advance for understanding.

4 Exciting Photo-Related Plans in the Works

March 23, 2010 in Contest, Guest Blogger, Inspiration, News, Personal, Photography, Photoshop, TJM Media Group

With all the attention in the photo industry focussed on what’s going to be happening down in Orlando this week at Photoshop World it can be easy to forget about all the other great things going on in other regions of the community. Now, I love Photoshop World and NAPP and I look forward to when I can make my way back to one soon. But I want to make sure you are all aware of some really cool plans coming up here at Jason D. Moore Photography.

TJM Media Group Presents: Start to Finish: Episode 1

February 2, 2010 in News, Photography, Photoshop, TJM Media Group, Tutorials, Video, Workflow

The TJM Media Group is pleased to announce the release of the first episode of “Start to Finish” – a series where you, the reader, will help select each month’s photography and graphic design assignment and then watch as your projects are completed, from start to finish. The key to this being a fun, interesting, and informative feature is your interaction. In this first episode, we had to come up with a basic concept on our own.

In this episode, we go on assignment to the grounds of the University of Virginia and photograph Thomas Jefferson’s historic academic village. Photographs are captured to demonstrate basic pano-stitching techniques back in the studio. It was a simple task to get the series up and running.

We have every confidence that you can do much better!

Here’s how we’d like it to work:

Each month we need two basic assignments – a photographic concept and a final presentation.

For example, a suggestion for a photographic concept might be:

Demonstrate the process for capturing the photos needed to render an HDR image of the Lincoln Memorial. The resulting final presentation concept might be: Render the HDR image and present as a fine art print.

(OK, that one seems pretty neat. We might use it… )

Email your suggestions to: start2finish@tjmmediagroup.com

We look forward to working on YOUR assignments.

All the best,

Rob Jones and Jason Moore
Founders, TJM Media Group
