“There are no rules for good photographs; there are only good photographs,” world-famous photographer Ansel Adams once said, and photography artists of today seem to know that better than ever before, with more and more diverse and sophisticated equipment allowing them to push the limits. Time for a new annual dose of outstanding photo beauty and inspiration with the gallery of photos by the winners of the Drone Photo Awards contest, the international competition about aerial photography and video. The contest, which is a project of Siena Awards, is dedicated to a different photographic genre deliberately separated from being compared to traditional photography. Although the competition is called Drone Awards, it’s open to aerial photography and videos whose platforms also include fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, balloons, blimps and dirigibles, rockets, kites, and parachutes.

In Drone Photo Awards 2022, the winners were defined in several theme categories: Urban, Wildlife, Sport, People, Nature, Wedding, Abstract, and Series. On their website, you can check more about the locations, shot details, and photographers, as well as see more award-winning shots and videos. And here, let’s take a look at some of those photography art pieces and get inspired!

Man’s fascination with mountains has been unbroken since time immemorial. Today’s case study tells you the creative story about Lumen Museum, the charming place that gives this fascination a photographic home with breathtaking views and interesting insights. Welcome to see how the Tubik team designed their website to set a strong connection with the museum atmosphere on the Web as well.

Project

Modern website design for the museum of mountain photography.

Client and Idea

Lumen Museum is located at the summit of the region Kronplatz (in South Tyrol). It covers 1,800 square meters dedicated to mountain photography: the 4 floors impress the visitors with insights into the history of mountain photography from its beginnings and the art of mountain photographers from different corners of the world. The museum harmonically combines history and innovations, interactivity, and exploration, covering the subject of mountain photography from diverse perspectives.

That what the museum team wanted to see on their website as well. It was important to make it modern and trendy but at the same time to preserve a strong and consistent connection of the physical museum with its online site.

The creative team from Tubik Studio assigned for the project included Vladyslav Taran, Denis Koloskov, Andrew Drobovich, Kirill Erokhin, Alexander Petulko, Dmitry Shevchishen, and Polina Taran.

Website Design

Here we welcome you to take a glance at the website we designed and developed for the Lumen Museum. Variety of elegant pages, smooth animation, engaging scroll, video integration, and other design solutions to present the amazing museum content online.

lumen-museum website

All the major pages of the website are based on a minimalist layout, impressive visuals, a light background, and mastered negative space: that makes them full of air and freshness and let the visitors feel it from the first seconds. Also, such an approach ensures that all the diverse visual content, from archive black and white photos to modern shots and videos, will look good on the pages.

The home page features the hero section based on the beautiful view of the museum building with an animated flow of clouds that makes it even more lively and atmospheric.

The typography solution didn’t feature decorative fonts; instead, the designers used the highly-readable and solid sans-serif font that becomes the foundation of solid typographic hierarchy. The website header features the link buttons for the core navigation areas as well as contacts and information about the museum address and schedule. The header is sticky so the user can reach the core pages from any point of interaction or page scrolling. The pages demonstrate the well-balanced mixture of static photo content, animated photos, and videos integrated into the layout.

The transitions between the pages are supported with an animated counter featuring the height of the museum location and this way it adds some entertaining elements into the process of switching to another page. Negative space works as a visual divider for the text blocks making the content look more digestible, well-organized, and readable.

The museum offers two types of exhibitions: Permanent Exhibitions, which are always available and have their unique performance, and Temporary Exhibitions that are operating for a limited period. While the pages for temporary exhibitions employ the same page template, the pages for permanent exhibitions all have unique designs that reflect the most interesting points and interactivity of actual museum halls.  For example, the exhibition page below features the organization and vertical animation of the photo collection that echoes the visual presentation of this interactive set in the exhibition hall of the Lumen Museum.

The consistent integration of video content allows visitors to dive deep into the atmosphere of the museum and feel its refreshing nature. The section of testimonials supports social approval while the simple and scannable footer offers links to different website pages. The webpages implement both vertical and horizontal scroll to allow for more diverse and informative interactions without unnecessary clicks and transitions.

The history page implements the horizontal scroll to build up a solid timeline of photos and concise text blocks guiding the visitors through the different stages of the location, the museum foundation, and development.

lumen-web-design

The airy calendar page invites the visitor to check the upcoming events and exhibitions: each item is presented with a date, type of the event, its name, the secondary text block for additional description or information, and a photo setting the quick visual association. A simple checkbox filter allows for tuning the list while the visual dividers help to clearly scan the structure and distinguish the items. This way the solid visual hierarchy is built to make the webpage scannable, readable, and eye-pleasing.

lumen museum website calendar page

Here’s an example of a webpage whose wow-effect is based on the animated image of a photo camera.

To fulfill the navigation needs, an original set of minimalist outline icons was designed for the website.

icons-lumen-museum

To make the website beautiful and consistent regardless of the device it is visited from, we also thoughtfully adapted it to the tablet and mobile versions.

This project for Lumen Museum was an amazing experience for our team and the story of the great collaboration with the museum team: altogether, we achieved the goal to create the museum a beautiful online home and connect it with its audience faster and easier.

These days, there are no excuses for bad photos. Cameras are better than ever, mobile phone camera technologies broke all possible barriers, and editing tools are aplenty. Making your photos look professional is not as hard as it would be 10 years ago. Even absolute amateurs can now take decent-looking images and improve them even further with proper editing.

Regardless of whether you’re new to photography or you already know a lot, there is always room for learning and improvement. Here are some nifty tips on making your photos look more professional, even if you’re using a low-budget camera or a mobile phone.

Learn Basic Photography Rules

There’s a lot of you can learn about composition, layout, and lighting even in a short photography course. It might seem boring if you just want to get out there and enjoy taking photos, but trust us, it’s worth it in the long run.

Mind the so-called rule of thirds as you’re shooting your photos: before you take the picture, imagine a grid with 9 equal squares. The point of this rule is to give your viewer a natural flow of the elements in the photo. The squares are formed by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and key elements of the composition are recommended to be placed along these lines or their intersections.

photography mobile

There are also other common rules in photography, such as the horizon line, which should always be placed above or below the exact center of the photograph. Take some time and dive into the details, because photography really is a science! You don’t have to blindly follow its rules, but they are great guidelines to create professional photos.

photo content tips

Focus the Main Object

Before you click the shutter button, ensure the photo is focused. In other words, visually emphasize the central object in the photo.

The good news is that most mobile phones that have this option only require a touch of the central object and the focusing is done instantly. Other devices that have the autofocus option will recognize the primary object automatically, and you won’t even have to tap on it. In the settings, you will be able to determine the amount of blur and central object sharpness you want.

Samsung’s, iPhone’s, Huawei’s, and all other new generations of phone cameras are now paying particular attention to auto-focus and other photo focus options. It’s a trick that’s quite easy to set up, but it’s incredibly effective. Simply tapping an area on your phone can make your photo look much more professional.

Mind the Exposure

Exposure is another essential element of photography that can have a significant impact on how professional your photos turn out. Exposure signifies how much a photograph is exposed to light (be it natural or artificial).

Using modern editing tools and Photoshop, you can play around with exposure after you’ve already taken the photo, but your best bet is to nail it as close to perfect on the original. If the exposure works great, editing will be a piece of cake.

photography tips

Try HDR

HDR in photography stands for High Dynamic Range. This photo option has a goal of reproducing all the details and visual inputs in the scene, even those you can’t see with the naked eye.

landscape photos tips

HDR implies everything from colors, details, shadows, contrasts, and all those tiny things you might not be aware of. Even though they are aspects that you don’t notice, enhancing them can boost the atmosphere and enrich the photograph.

The HDR system works by creating several different photographs in one session, but with different settings. In the final step, it connects all the versions into a single photo, thus integrating all the aspects of the scene that’s before you. HDR is getting more and more popular both among amateurs and professional photographers. Regardless of your level of experience, HDR will surely improve your satisfaction with the final photographs.

Explore Online Services and Tools

You can save time by using online services and tools that can automate some of the footwork, help you track your progress, or teach you more about the rules of photography.

If you’re just a beginner, it would be a good idea to start a photography blog where you will showcase your favorite pieces. This will have multiple benefits:

  • you’ll have the motivation to take photos regularly
  • you will be able to get feedback from members of the photography community
  • through sharing the knowledge with others, you will deepen your own

Try the Google Lens

While we’re on the topic of online tools, services, and apps, it’s definitely worth it to mention the Google Lens app, which can help even complete amateurs create professional-looking photos.

photo tools tips

Back in 2015, Google came out with an improved photo-taking app intended for their Nexus devices (now, all devices use it). It introduced huge improvements in mobile phone photography. There’s the Photo Sphere, which enabled users to take a fish-eye, wide-angle, or panoramic photo. Lens Blur was also introduced as a new shutter mode, which really raised amateur photography to the next level.

Editing Is King

There’s not enough that can be said to explain the importance of editing once the initial material is captured. Many people don’t know this, but professional photographers spend hours, days, weeks, and even months trying to tweak their photos to perfection.

Also, laymen usually consider editing to be much easier than it actually is. Just pop it over to Instagram filters or Photoshop and voila – you got yourself a professional photo? Absolutely not. Learning how to edit photographs is a valuable skill that takes time and effort to master.

Editing is like “the other side” of photography work. It’s completely different from the moment where you’re looking for the perfect shot. While you’re shooting, you’re looking for inspiration, unique shots and perspectives, breathtaking views… While you’re editing, you’re looking for flaws and possible improvements. In other words, you take photos like an artist, but you edit like a scientist.

Conclusion

As a photographer, whether you’re an amateur, enthusiast, or a pro, you probably know there are diverse factors that go into creating a perfect photo. Luckily, using the tools and services that are easily available nowadays, you can achieve that without using too much time or resources. Open up to new professional opportunities by using some of the tips we have mentioned above to make your photos look more professional!
