My ongoing series, Traces, is a phenomenological study of Beauty as perceived through the sense of sight. Through this series I document visible manifestations of Beauty what some might call the Divine within the physical universe. To me, Beauty is best described by how it differs from what we call beautiful while beautiful Is a superficial attribute of things, Beauty embodies ineffable truths of our existence, allowing us to glimpse the larger Universe through the thin veil of physical...

that the D3000 maintained a Low or better rating only up to ISO 200, while its two competitors held down noise that far up to ISO 800 Rebel XS and ISO 1600 SonyA330 . Still, we were impressed with the D3000's ability to keep its resolution virtually unchanged all the way up to ISO 800. Even at ISO 3200, it dropped only to 1930 lines, although that was just enough to lower the score to a High rating from its Very High rating through ISO 800. In our AF speed test, we were less impressed. In the...
How ShouldI Light
When shooting in the studio, I use a different number of lights, depending on the effect I'm trying to achieve. When I approach the studio, I break the lighting process into steps. 1. I ask myself, what is the aesthetic and general feel I'd like to achieve with my image Do I want the image to be dark and moody Or do I want the image to by light and airy By examining my subject matter and intended creative goals, I can figure out the general mood I want to achieve. 2. I figure out how to achieve...

Le Morne Mountain Has got a great history behind it. When slavery was abolished, the slaves escaped and were hiding on this mountain. When the Whites were climbing behind them to announce them they were free, they were so scared to get caught again, that they jumped the high cliffs and died. Since Cousteau and The big blue appeared on our screen, an irresistible urge of discovery started to touch many people around the world to discover for themselves life under the ocean.

Making Grill Marks On Vegetables
Most vegetables that will appear grilled to the camera are treated first by steaming, baking, or cooking on a griddle surface and then grill marks are added. Regardless of the cooking method, the vegetable must appear cooked. Refer to the discussion about making grill marks in the chapter on meats Chapter 7 . The electric charcoal starter appliance or hot metal skewer technique both work well for making grill marks on vegetables. A torch or electric charcoal starter can also be used to create...
Basic 101 For Photo Meat
SAFETY NOTE Keep in mind this chapter is about meat to be photographed and not eaten. The food styling rule about not eating photo food definitely applies to all photo meat. To help you understand some of the techniques used with different varieties of meats, several presentations accompany this chapter with descriptions of the methods used in achieving each. Realizing the vast scope of this topic, my goal was to select a few general categories for meat styling. It might be necessary for you to...

Fofiowing Some Basic Guidelines
There are no rules for styling your client. Everything depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you look in fashion magazines, you'll see that some fashion editorials are based on a concept of the model wearing clashing or unfashionable styles. It all depends on the photographer's vision. If you are trying to keep it simple, there are a few basic tips to keep in mind. But these tips mean nothing if you have a concept that requires breaking the rules. These are just helpful basic guidelines...

The Magnifying Glass Effect
Let's go back to that childhood fascination with magnifying glasses that set the scene for the previous illustration. Take a closer look at the hot spot of light created by the magnifying glass. You'll see that the spot is actually a picture, a small image of the sun. Now, remember how you moved the magnifying glass back and forth until it was just the right distance to start a flame You were focusing the picture the magnifier made on the leaf. In a camera, you have a lot of controls and...

Dramatic Short Light Barn Doors Pius Strip Light
Shadows help make an image dramatic. In this case, the shadows and highlights seem theatrical. In Figure 9.23, both lights that illuminate the subject are in back-45 positions, leaving the face mostly in shadow. The light that illuminates the subject's face on the left was barn doors hence the more crisp, focused light placed at a back-side angle. The light illuminating her neck softer highlight was a narrow strip light placed to the back right of the frame. This image was illuminated by lights...
Beautifying with Color
Never has there been a time when the choices of color have been so varied. With digital photography, you can produce almost any color that exists. With so many options, where do you start The options begin when you shoot. How you set your camera will determine what colors you get. How you frame your shot is your presentation of color. After you take the shot, your options for manipulating color are limitless with Photoshop and other image processing programs. Be careful, though, and don't let...

Using a Fisheye Lens
A digital fisheye lens is one of those pieces of optical glass that you might think is a novelty fun to play with at first, but then buried in the bottom of your camera bag and seldom used. This is not the case. I don't use my digital fisheye lens all the time, but I use it often. It is part of my carry everywhere kit. And when I do use my fisheye lens, no other lens could possibly get the job done. Here's why A fisheye lens can fit in more of a scene. I use this special-purpose lens when I...
Highlight Alert
Digital cameras offer a highlight alert or warning function to help you avoid overexposing the image. You may need to turn this feature on before it operates. The control is normally listed on a menu. When the highlight alert is turned on, any pixels that are overexposed blink off and on when you view the image on the cameras LCD monitor. Many photographers refer to flashing pixels as the blinkies. Try to reduce or eliminate blinking pixels since these represent pixels with no detail. There are...
Autoexposure Lock
When center-weighted metering is used, an area in the center of the frame is assigned the greatest weight when determining exposure. Similarly, when spot metering is used, exposure is based upon lighting conditions in the selected focus area. If the subject is not in the metered area when the picture is taken, exposure will be based on lighting conditions in the background, and the main subj ect may be under- or over-exposed. To prevent this, use autoexposure lock Rotate the mode dial to p, s,...

Cathedral Light is Any Time
Cathedral light and radial light are terms often used to describe the same effect. Cathedral light takes its name from the effect of sunlight bursting through high stained-glass windows in a diagonal orientation. The camera remains in a shaded area whilst observing the shafts of light from close by. An example of cathedral light is when you see the light penetrate a shallow cave system. The sunbeams contrast dramatically with the dark walls. If you point your camera into the sunbeams towards...

Working with a Lensbaby
The Lensbaby is probably the most innovative new lens or system of lenses-to come along in recent memory. The idea is to move the barrel of the lens around on a flexible tube, so you can change the area of focus, called the sweet spot. In the original Lensbabies, the lens tube looked like something you might see on a vacuum cleaner, but recent models are much more sophisticated. You don't set the aperture on a Lensbaby instead, you use magnetic aperture rings that go inside the flexible lens...

When using film cameras, photographers rely on the camera's B setting, in combination with a cable release a shutter button on the end of a cord .

Camera Types
Cameras fall into three classes consumer, prosumer, and professional. Although the dividing line between the classes can be a bit fuzzy, I'll point out features you can use as a landmark to help compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Consumer-level cameras encompass a range from the basic point-and-shoot camera with little or no control over exposure up to pricey point-and-shoots that provide quite a bit of creative control. These are all fixed-lens cameras, eliminating your ability...

Blue Wool Lightfastness Standard References
The Blue Wool Lightfastness References were, and still are, aimed at those who work in the textile industry. The European version is part of the ISO standards, and it gets its name from the dyed blue wool fabric bands or swatches that are used to visually compare fading rates. Much like a litmus test, Blue Wools act as a visual reference or dosimeter for users like museums to determine when too much light has fallen on an artwork so it can be removed from display. Blue Wools also are used as a...

Afocal Teleconverters for FixedLens Cameras
Small cameras and less-expensive cameras usually do not have interchangeable lenses. Therefore, telephoto and wide-angle attachments for these cameras must be attached in front of the camera lens. This is analogous to using a fixed-lens camera to take photos through the eyepiece of a telescope, thus replacing the human eye with a camera. For this to work with any camera lens, an afocal arrangement shown in Figure 12.8 is required. The magnification in this arrangement is given by m f feS camera...
Understanding ISO
At times it can be impossible to achieve the desired aperture or shutter speed to take a photograph. This usually occurs in low light situations where you need to use a large aperture, but, because it's getting dark, you have no other choice than to use a slow shutter speed. This shutter speed required may well be too long to hand hold the camera without causing camera shake and fuzzy pictures. In these situations this is where the sensitivity of your camera sensor comes into play by...

Chapter 2 introduces you to the Raw file format, which enables you to capture images as raw data. One advantage of capturing Raw files, named ORF files on Olympus cameras, is that you make the decisions about how to translate raw data into actual photographs.

The bad news You have to specify attributes, such as color...

Texture Gradient
Texture gradient is the so-called impressionism effect. It is the perception of depth based on the merging of small details as they are repeated on both the foreground and the background. The repetition of the pattern as it approaches the horizon is perceived as receding into the background. This concept is very easy to visualize if you think of a field of grain or grass that extends to the horizon. Texture gradient cues are also related to another monocular depth cue, the spatial summation cue...
