Defining Exposure 1
With my camera and Nikkor 80-400mm zoom lens mounted on a tripod and the lens set to 300mm, I shot the first image at f 4 for 1 1000 sec. The second image was f 8 for 1 250 sec., and the third was f 16 for 1 60 sec. All three exposures are exactly the same in terms of quantitative value, but quite different in the arena of creative exposure. Note how at the wide open aperture of f 4, the sunflower is isolated in effect, it's all alone but at f 16, due to the increase in depth of field, it has...
Short lighting
Two forms of advanced lighting techniques rely on turning your subject's head so that his or her face isn't staring directly into the camera. One of these is short lighting, where the main light source comes from the side of the face directed away from the camera, as shown in Figure 3-13. The other is broad lighting, which I discuss in the following section. Sometimes referred to as narrow lighting, short lighting is a valuable lighting style because it tends to narrow overly broad faces....

Creative Applications
After learning how the view camera works and how to process prints using the Zone System of exposure and development, it is easier to appreciate the technique and planning behind each of the following pictures. These photographs were made by a cross section of view-camera photographers and are evidence that there is no one style of view-camera photography. On the contrary, the view camera is the photographer's ultimate tool for achieving a highly personal style of photography. This photograph...
How to Photograph Motion Sharply
The sharpness of different parts of an image helps direct the viewer who tends to look first at the most sharply focused part of the picture. In addition, sharpness itself can be part of the message of the photograph. The immobility of a frozen figure can be made more apparent by blurring people moving in other parts of the scene. Blur in an image is caused when all or part of a subject focused onto the image sensor moves when the shutter is open. To show a moving subject sharply, the shutter...
Los Angeles
If Edgar Allen Poe, Edvard Munch, Harold amp Maude and Charles Addams ran the city planning commission, there would be no palm trees, sleek glass office towers or curvilinear steel concert halls anywhere in Los Angeles. Instead, these masters of the spooky and the macabre would legislate a City of Angels as conceived and depicted in these twenty moody images by Rocky Schenck. Even on its best Rose Bowl picture-postcard sunny day, LA never looked so alluring, or so beguilingly sinister. Schenck...
In any architecture there is equity between the pragmatic function and the
Low Angle In this photograph of a one-hump dromedary camel, the photographer set his camera very low, nearly touching the sand mound. We thus have an up-close and intimate look at the camel as he lies on the sand. His expressive face is located approximately at the imaginary rule of thirds' lower-right intersection, providing a strong composition. The camel's face becomes the center of interest and the focal point of the photograph. The color of the camel and sand are similar and contrast well...
Restoring Your Library from a Vault
With any luck, you will never need to restore your Library from a Vault. If you do, it usually means you have suffered a serious internal hard drive failure. Fortunately, if you have been keeping your Vaults up to date, you should be able to recover all of your work, except that which you have done since your last backup which really should be no more than a day . If you ensure that you do not delete your photos from your memory card before they are stored in a Vault, you should be able to...
Working with Lenses
There's no disputing the fact that there is a key reason why many digital SLR buyers choose Nikon cameras Nikon lenses. Some favor Nikon cameras because of the broad selection of quality lenses. Others already possess a large collection of Nikon optics perhaps dating from the owner's photography during the film era , and the ability to use those lenses on the latest digital cameras is a big plus. A few may be attracted to the Nikon brand because there are many inexpensive lenses including a few...
Using Telephoto and TeleZoom Lenses
Telephoto lenses also can have a dramatic effect on your photography, and Nikon is especially strong in the long-lens arena, with lots of choices in many focal lengths and zoom ranges. You should be able to find an affordable telephoto or tele-zoom to enhance your photography in several different ways. Here are the most important things you need to know. In the next section, I'll concentrate on telephoto considerations that can be problematic and how to avoid those problems. Selective focus....

Tinting
Aperture has two tint adjustments - Sepia Tone and Color Monochrome. Sepia Tone is little more than a single tint version of Color Monochrome. You can do everything Sepia Tone does, and more using Color Monochrome so, other than including an example of what Sepia Tone does, we'll concentrate on Color Monochrome. To add a Color Monochrome adjustment select it from the Add Adjustment pop-up menu. There are only two controls a color swatch and an intensity slider. The default color is sepia and...

Ultimately, your un-photogenic clients irritate you they seem oblivious to the way they really look and then get mad at you because they look...
Direction of Light
A great way to learn how the direction of light influences the look of a photo is to take a small desk lamp, find a suitable subject, and move the light in an 180 degree arc from the far left side of your subject to the far right side. Observe the direction of the shadows and the highlights. Now raise the light so it is 45 degrees above your subject and go through the same 180 degree arc. Finally, place the light so it is slightly below the main subject and move it through the same 180 degree...
Glamour Defined
So what makes a portrait glamorous Well, first of all, glamour is all about the subject. Glamour photography is probably the most powerful form of photography when it comes to its essential subject, says Rolando. Unlike fashion photography, which relies on the model to display a dress or accessories the real subject of the photograph , in glamour photography the model is the subject of the photograph. Therefore, as photographers, it's up to us to capture that subject's inner and outer beauty....

First, select your photo in the My Collection window, click the Edit button, and then click Enhance Figure 9-4 . EasyShare examines your photo and then adjusts the overall exposure and brightness of the image and makes color adjustments. The result may not be perfect, but more often than not EasyShare does a pretty good job. Tip When you want to inspect and compare a...
The Problem of Digital Shadows
The reason why this process is especially damaging to the shadow areas is because of the second, more subtle reason that I mentioned earlier. The fact is that digital cameras inherently devote more levels of pixels to rendering detail in the highlights than they do to the darker areas of the subject. When I introduced the illustration of the way that pixel levels could be stretched out if they were drawn on a strip of rubber, for the sake of clarity, I intentionally skipped a step in the...
Glassware
Glass objects pose a similar problem to the previous surface types in that directing a light onto the surface produces a hot spot and doesn't show the translucency of the subject at all. To solve this problem, glassware should be lit from behind. Often, this involves a set-up where light is directed onto a lightly colored background and then photographing through the glass object to the lit surface behind. Once you build up your confidence with lighting subjects with each of these techniques,...
Focusing Screen And Condenser Lens
The focusing screen is a flat ground-glass on which the still-reversed image is formed. The condenser lens above it guides the image into the pentaprism. Full name pentagonal roof prism. Made of optical glass encased in mirrors, the prism bounces the image around three times to send it to the viewfinder eyepiece, unreversing it in the process. Set at 45 degrees to the light path, this reflects the image from the lens upward to the pentaprism assembly. The image is reversed at this point. The...
The Near Side Megabasin
I propose that the Near Side Megabasin, an impact basin whose central depression covers more than half of the Moon, has differentiated the two sides of the Moon. It could have caused the depression on the near side where the large maria occur and also the thicker, mounded crust of the far side. The shape of the far side was, of course, further modified by the South Pole-Aitken Basin to establish the current configuration. The general idea is not new Wood, 1973 Cadogan, 1974 Whitaker, 1981 , but...

Noblex Cameras
The Noblex's Panolux light meter is attached to the camera body and directs it. In the incident mode, the light meter operates with two integrated sensors beneath a white cone that has a nice feature it automatically corrects the exposure in order to slightly darken the highlights or lighten the shadows. In this way, during exposure, the motion of the turret speeds up or slows down from one end to the other. This works very well, allowing an adjustment of two to three stops from one end of the...

Dealing with Noise
Visual image noise is that random grainy effect that some like to use as a special effect, but which, most of the time, is objectionable because it robs your image of detail even as it adds that interesting texture. Noise is caused by two different phenomena high ISO settings and long exposures. High ISO noise commonly appears when you raise your camera's sensitivity setting above ISO 400. With the Nikon D3100, noise may become visible at ISO 800, and is often fairly noticeable at ISO 1600....

Determining point of view
The point of view is the vantage point from which you photograph your subject. If you're photographing an adult, you can do so from a standing position. If you photograph a child or pet, kneel to their level. It's always best if you're eye to eye with your subject. The exception to this rule is when you're photographing a short person. To make the person look taller, kneel and then take your picture. Be careful not to tilt the camera when you're kneeling. If you do, the person may look like...
Reflector Fill
When the light is coming from the side or back, usually there are undesirable or unattractive shadows on the face. It may also just be too dark on the front of the model's body. To fix that, you need to add fill light. One way is to use fill flash, and that is quick and easy if you have an electronic flash. If you are using the camera's built-in flash, you may find times when it is just not powerful enough, especially outside on a bright day. In those cases, you can use a reflector instead of a...

Methods Of Cooking Vegetables For Photography
The vegetables depicted in this image were prepped using either the steaming or blanching methods described below.

Once the vegetables were prepped, I began constructing the hero plate using the differences of texture to make the vegetables pop and visually separate within the build. I...
Using Diffuse Reflection and Shadow to Reveal Texture
In any discussion of surface definition, we must talk about texture. This is why we promised at the beginning of this chapter that all examples would be nearly two dimensional. We will first look at a photograph that fails to reveal the texture of the subject. This will help us analyze the problem and come up with a better solution. 4.12 The solution to the impossible lighting requires placing the lights for even illumination and using polarizers to prevent glare.

photography in mexico
Photography arrived in Mexico during 1839, a few months after its invention in Europe. During the nineteenth century, it was largely the province of portraits, which were usually of society's poles. On the one hand, the wealthy had represented themselves so as to appear modern and successful on the other, the lower classes were portrayed as ''popular types'' Indians or similarly exotic people engaged in picturesque occupations, often hawkers of strange merchandise. There was little of the...
