The Color of Light

March 13, 2009 No comments »

In photography, the light source plays an important part in the color of the photograph, because light emitted by various light sources has different colors. Photographers use color temperature to describe the dissimilarities in the color of light. The Kelvin scale is used to calculate the color temperatures of light » Read more: The Color of Light

Light Direction

No comments »

The direction of the light is significant as it determines where shades fall. The shadows are what create depth in a photo, and if the direction isn’t just right, you ought to either move the subject to change the direction of the light or wait for the light to move. The direction of the light can either bring out the details in your subject or hide them. Light can hit a subject in four distinct directions. » Read more: Light Direction

Composition A-Z

March 9, 2009 No comments »

Composition is what goes into, the placement of, and what is left out of the objects within the photo. With the auto exposure and the great exposure metering in today’s state-of-the-art cameras, together with the new fast auto focus lenses taking care of keeping the subject in focus, the most significant difference between a good photograph and a great photograph is often the composition. » Read more: Composition A-Z

Controlling Exposure

March 1, 2009 No comments »

As the photographer you are often able to control the quantity of light reaching the sensor by altering one or several of the four factors that affect the exposure. If each of the four factors only affected exposure, life would be simple; but changing the light, ISO, shutter speed, and aperture all have other consequences. » Read more: Controlling Exposure

Understanding focal length

February 28, 2009 No comments »

To put it simply, focal length is similar to a magnification factor. The longer the focal length (the larger the number in millimeters), the closer it will appear that you are to your subjects, and the narrower the view will be. A short focal length will allow you to see a widerangle view and make it appear that you are further away from your subject. Focal length, in technical terms, is the distance in millimeters between the surface of the image sensor and the center, or » Read more: Understanding focal length

Understanding Exposure

February 27, 2009 No comments »

All digital cameras create an image by focusing light through a lens onto a sensor. When the perfect amount of light reaches the sensor, there is enough light to show details in the darkest areas, but not so much light that the lightest parts are too bright. The goal of a good exposure is to have details in both the lightest and the darkest parts of the image. Today’s cameras have fantastic built-in light meters, and letting the camera determine the exposure is very easy. » Read more: Understanding Exposure

Guided Tour of a Digital Camera

February 24, 2009 No comments »

We’re going to start with a tour of a typical non-SLR digital camera. I realize that it would be nice if I provided you with a nice picture with a legend, but a think that all of you have seen a digital camera so you more or less know what they look like. Besides the point of this text is to know what you’ve got there on your digital camera and as different manufacturers make different parts according to their imagination there is a large diversity in the cameras looks.
Digital camera models look  different from the rear as they do from the front. All of them will sport an LCD viewfinder, but that LCD may range in size from a puny 1.5 inches diagonally to the generous 2.5 inches. » Read more: Guided Tour of a Digital Camera
