My Digital SLR Photography Experiences
Welcome to MyPhotoAxis.com . I hope you will learn the basics of how to get the most from your SLR or prosumer digital camera. I've written some reviews of lenses I have experience with, and give you advice about photo taking techniques. The section on camera accessories is often over looked but these can be vital to get the most out of your camera. Don't forget to read the section on using older Manual focus Nikon, Pentax, and exotic lenses with your Canon EOS body.

Review of the Manfrotto 190 Pro / Bogen 3001 Tripod If you read some photography books or websites you will find a good quality tripod is very high on the recommended list of things to have. There have been many times a tripod has allowed me to get a shot I otherwise would've had no chance at getting. There have also been numerous times where I've been too lazy to bring my tripod with me and missed a shot. (Yes even with the Canon IS lens) So I was really excited when I had the opportunity to replace my old Manfrotto tripod with something a lot better. My choice was the 190 PRO. |

Review of the Manfrotto/Boken 486 RC2 ball head Manfrotto also known as Bogen in the US is very well known for their tripods and support equipment. I had been using a Manfrotto tripod and ball head for the past while, but it was time to upgrade to something a little heavier duty to support my camera equipment. The 486 Ball head was an excellent size for me, and it's from a company I trust. If you have never tried a ball head for photography, you should read on to find out why most serious photographers use a ball head.

Photoshop Techniques

One of my favorite techniques to make an object really stand out is to desaturate the background. In this tutorial I'm going to show you a very easy method to separate an object from it's background just be giving the background a little desaturation in Photoshop. You can adjust the effect to your taste and the photo. I've done complete black and white backgrounds with this techniques, as well as just muting the colour a little bit.
