behind the scenes
The initial conception for our shoot sprang from the discovery of a location that possesses an incredible sense of beauty and drama. our model, siannon, was chosen especially for this shoot as her pale skin and red hair were an important element in allowing us to create a striking contrast of the body within the environment. Her enthusiasm and energy were critical to achieving the image we created our work is very much a synergy between us and our model. Grant, our producer, was in charge of...

Stereoscopic Images
Humans see in three dimensions, in other words, we have depth perception, because our eyes provide overlapping fields of view from slightly different vantage points. The amount of depth perception in humans is limited to about 400 m distance, however, because of the relatively close spacing of our eyes, i.e., only 6-7 cm apart Drury, 1987 . Stereoscopic photography has been practiced since the middle 19th century to provide 3-D imagery Osterman, 2007 Fig. 2-8 . Aerial stereo photographs may be...

Strategies to Protect Your Photos
Photos from your digital camera may not fade, crumble, or turn yellow like your grandfather's old prints, but they're vulnerable in a different kind of way. Digital photo files are nothing more than a series of 0s and 1s stored in a particular order. They only last as long as whatever media they're stored on, and CDs, DVDs, and hard drives are just chunks of plastic and metal that are vulnerable to water, fire, accidental erasure, and breakage. Scared yet Good. Here's rule number one for...

This image was inspired by our discovery of a dried up water hole littered with the fragile beauty of water lilies. The model was highlighted with flash, achieving a strong contrast against the dark grass, while brilliant sunlight provided additional highlights within the environment. The soft white body echoing the hard black boulders in the foreground emphasized our comparative fragility within nature. Hard, direct sunlight, accentuated with flash, provided the strange, monumental quality of...

Three Students Join Bob Barclay To Capture The Famous Blackpool Illuminations
WHEN we think of Blackpool, the famous tower and glitzy neon lights spring to mind. Yet every year from late August to November, the streets of this popular seaside town are even brighter, as the Illuminations come to town. Launched in 1879, eight arc lamps were originally used to create 'artificial sunshine', but today more than a million lights make up the six-mile waterfront display. Hot on the heels of our Blackpool Fireworks Reader Masterclass in AP 25 October, this month's challenge sees...
What Kind Of Camera Do I Need
Asking What kind of camera do I need may seem silly to experienced photographers. But we have taught this material, we know how many perfectly intelligent students ask it, and we have to answer it. There are two good answers, and they contradict each other slightly. The weight we place on each answer matters more than the answers themselves. Successful photographs depend on the photographer more than the equipment. Inexperienced photographers work best with the camera with which they are...

You can significantly improve the quality of your video by increasing the light falling in the scene. This is true indoors or out, by the way. While it may seem like sunlight is more than enough, it depends on how much contrast you're dealing with. If your subject is in shadow which can help them from squinting or wearing a ball cap, a video light can help make them look a lot better. Lighting choices for amateur videographers are a lot better these days than they were a decade or two ago. An...
history of photography postwar era
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough there has to be vision and the two together can make a good photograph. It is difficult to describe this thin line where matter ends and mind begins. At the end of World War II, the world's vision of itself had been shattered, and it had to reconceptua-lize the idea of ''humanity'' in order to face new issues and concerns that were arising in the postwar...
Basic Lighting Setups
There are five basic portrait lighting setups. As you progress through them from Paramount to split lighting, each progressively makes the face slimmer. Each also progressively brings out more texture in the face because the light is more to one side. Additionally, as you progress from Paramount to split lighting, you'll notice that the key light mimics the path of the setting sun at first high, and then gradually lower in relation to the subject. It is important that the key light never dip...

Annie Leibovitz
Picture-taking appears to be a mechanical process. When the shutter-release button is pressed, a picture forms on a sensor or film. On a sensor, the image gets recorded onto a memory card, the picture detailed instantly on an LCD screen. With film, the image is recorded on a negative for later developing. Photographers who want to make art don't see it this way. They feel that the way a photograph looks when you are finished shooting and developing it or post-processing a digital image can be...

The iPhone's lens focal length 37mm equivalent permits you to fit giant buildings into your frame. Keep it in portrait mode to fit in tall buildings and in landscape mode to fit in wide buildings. The first thing you want to do to get a compelling architecture shot is to keep the sun behind you. It's best if the sun is cast upon the building you are shooting. Figure 5.6 shows a building shot lit by the sun. Note that the sky is blue behind the building. That only happens when the sun is on the...
Narrowband Imaging and Light Pollution Filters
As mentioned previously, I always have an IDAS LP filter in the optical train. This filter cuts out emissions from common light-polluting sources sodium and mercury vapour lamps and as a bonus I find I do not need to radically alter the colour balance of my one-shot colour images. I have tried other nebula or light pollution filters and have found it necessary to make substantial colour balance changes to get a good colour-balanced image. Also mentioned previously was the Hydrogen Alpha...
manipulation
Photographic manipulation is any change or adjustment made to the photographic image through altering the exposure, development, printing processes, or final image. Manipulation in the camera is achieved through multiple exposures, using specific types of lenses that distort perception, filters attached to the lens, and special films. Multiple exposures are images taken on the same piece of photographic film, and can be of two completely different photographic scenes or of the same subject...

The Rokkaku Kite
The Rokkaku is a six-sided kite based on a traditional Japanese design. Size 6' x 5' is great for winds of 5 to 15 mph. The Giant Rokkaku 7.5' x 6' and larger will develop great pull in very light Santa Barbara Breakwater - Pentax Optio A20 wind, and should not be used in winds of 10 mph or greater. This is a favorite kite for light wind situations. A streamer tail can be added for increased stability.
Three Ways to Take Long Exposures
There are actually three common types of lengthy exposures timed exposures, bulb exposures, and time exposures. The Nikon D3100 offers only the first two. Because of the length of the exposure, all shots with very slow shutter speeds should be taken with a tripod to hold the camera steady. Timed exposures. These are long exposures from 1 second to 30 seconds, measured by the camera itself. To take a picture in this range, simply use Manual or S modes and use the main command dial to set the...

Ready for Your CloseUp

In the last scene of the movie, she moves into the camera and says, All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up. It certainly is apropos to begin this chapter with that line. Although the iPhone takes a pretty sharp image of a person close up see Figure 4.1 , it does have a bit of barrel distortion. Barrel distortion is caused by the curvature of the lens. In extreme close-up portraits, it will...
Photographing People with Pets
People who have pets think of them as members of the family. So it's no wonder that every pet wants a portrait of himself with his human. When you photograph a pet and his owner, you want to show viewers the bond between the pet and its owner. This is easy to do when you're photographing a dog and his owner, as shown in Figure 6-6, but cats can be more elusive. No matter what type of pet you're photographing, you're going to have to rely on the owner for assistance. If the pet is small, take a...
Possible Problems in Enlarging
Intensity of enlarging light. Unless a stabilizer or other monitoring system is used, there is always the possibility of changes in the light intensity. Sometimes a change in electrical use within the building such as turning on a heavy appliance can lower the voltage, and thus the intensity of the enlarging light. Some enlargers are equipped with a meter that allows the voltage to be checked for variation, although it does not correct voltage. The cold-light illuminants See page 23 require a...

Graduated NeutralDensity Filters
No film can record the contrast range that our eyes can see. If you are standing in a location with contrasty lighting for example, a forest on a bright, sunny day you can see detail in both the darkest shadow areas and the brightest highlight spots simultaneously.

This is not true of film, which at best can only deal with about a 5-stop range in any one scene. Most beginning photographers...

Lighting Basics
The human face is sculpted and round it is the job of the portrait, fashion, or editorial photographer to reveal these contours. This is done primarily with highlights and shadows. Highlights are areas that are illuminated by a light source shadows are areas that are not. The interplay of highlight and shadow creates the illusion of roundness and shows form. Just as a sculptor models the clay to create the illusion of depth, so light models the shape of the face to give it depth and dimension....

Dappled Light
There is a wonderful quality of natural light present underwater, which I believe is very misunderstood. I and many other photographers refer to it as 'dapple light'. Another popular term is 'crinkles'. Just after sunrise or towards twilight time the sunbeams, which enter the surface of the sea, are at the most acute angle by virtue of the low angle of sun and surface. These sunbeams produce a golden light and this effect is amplified into strong golden shafts of light as the beams pervade the...
