Photo framing – making the mount
Displaying photographs in individually made frames can turn them from everyday shots into works of art, but how do you do this? Richard Lane enrolled on a professional framing course to find out and his first lesson was how to cut a window mount.
Life in colour
We offer a master class featuring a complete guide to achieving consistently great colours in your photographs, using camera controls as well as software. We investigate how to adjust colour temperature on camera and in post production to remove colour casts, plus how to tweak individual colours and selecting one colour and turn the rest of your image monochrome.
Olympus User meets Chris Wroblewski
We look at the career of this fascinating photographer as well as focusing on a recent project, China Dolls, ‘The changing face of Chinese women’ that Chris took using an Olympus E-3.
Around the world with Olympus
Olympus User reader Donald Froud shares the photos captured on his recent world cruise, armed with a trusty Olympus C-5060 Widezoom and an SP-550 Ultra Zoom.
Innovation – the ‘Tough’ story
We go behind the scenes at the Olympus R&D Centre to discover the groundbreaking technology that has resulted in the rugged µ[mju:] ‘Tough’ cameras. How do those Olympus boffins make µ[mju:] compacts waterproof, shockproof, crushproof, and freezeproof?
Distant worlds
After the informative introduction in our summer issue, Olympus User takes a closer look at astrophotography and digiscoping – taking photographs through telescopes and spotting scopes using Olympus E-System DSLR cameras.
Technique – get creative
A feature that looks at the top 10 creative effects you can achieve with your digital SLR, from using wide apertures to blur backgrounds, to the magical effect slow shutterspeeds have on running water, and the different special effects hidden away on your SLR. Plus, how similar effects can be achieved using your compact!
