Digital Photography Tutorials - Camera Exposure - Part 1

Camera exposure basically determines the extent of darkness of lightness of an image when it is captured. While that might seem like a very important factor (which it is), the same can be controlled by the right setting of 3 elements, also known as the exposure triangle. These are the shutter speed, ISO speed and aperture. Once you have these three rights, you are sure to click the perfect picture. This digital photography tutorial is going to explain how you can do that.
To give a more simple explanation of the camera's exposure, think of it as a bucket in which you have to collect rain water. When there is a very high rate of waterfall, three factors are important for the task at hand - the quantity of water you want to collect, the time duration it is left exposed to the rain, and the width of the bucket. The right mix of these ensures that you don't collect too little (and underexposed photograph) or too much (overexposed). There are many factors that would determine how you mix and match these components. For instance, if the rain is falling at a faster pace, leaving the bucket out even for a short while can do the job. This is in direct relation to the fact that the light, just like the rain, is not under your control, and you need to make suitable adjustments depending on the situation at hand.
Here's a brief of what each aspect of this triangle does:
Aperture is responsible for the area over which light enters the camera.
ISO speed is responsible for the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light.
Shutter speed is responsible for duration of exposure.
Here, while you might think that it's a relatively easier job to get the right exposure, what this digital photography tutorial aims to highlight is that you would almost certainly have to choose between which aspect you want to focus on. Think of it as a trade-off - shutter speed impacts motion blur, ISO speed impacts image noise, and aperture impacts depth of field. Changing the setting of one is sure to have an impact on the other. Choose wisely.

Still Life Photography

Pine Cone, Lotus Pod, and Leaves Still Life by wayne's eye view

Still Life Photography - Your Box of Tricks

Still life is the photographic theme that allows us the greatest amount of control. We choose the objects to be photographed, the background, the lighting, the lens, and the camera angle.
We create the composition by just moving objects around. Still life is the closest that photographers get to painting a picture.
It's the most area of photography where you get busy doing other things than taking a picture. Things like cutting, pasting, hanging, cleaning, stuffing, and many more!
All still life photographers have their box (usually a DIY toolbox) of essential items that they just can't do without. This is my list of essentials (feel free to add yours):
  • Surgical gloves for handling items without leaving fingerprints.
  • Tweezers for removing annoying little items like hairs and fluff.
  • Colored spray paints for making your own backgrounds
  • Scissors
  • Permanent ink pens for retouching marks on objects (scratches, for example).
  • Blue - Tack for holding things in place (especially round objects).
  • Dulling spray for removing fierce highlights from shiny surfaces.
  • A make-up brush for removing crumbs and the like.
  • Paper towels for mopping up spillage
  • Rods for hanging things from.
  • A fine water spray for putting dew on flowers or condensation on bottles and glasses.
  • Gaffa tape, because it's very strong and can be reused for many jobs.
  • Double sided tape for sticking things together.
  • A powerful staple gun for fastening backgrounds in place.
A word of advice. You will have disappointments shooting still life just as in any creative endeavor.
The reason for the disappointment will almost always be that you didn't notice something glaringly ugly - a small, black hair in a glass of milk, for example - that has appeared as if from nowhere in your picture.
Don't give up!

Stock Photography

FRESA Y LECHE by mirwav

Online Stock Photography - a World Where Pigs Fly

I remember back in the early 90s when my brother John called me up on the phone one day and explained that he had found a niche in digitally manipulated photography.  He said he was poised to make a good deal of money with it, but he couldn’t find any good help.  He knew that I had been into computers and thought maybe he could get me to work for him helping him digitally manipulate his photography.



John was a professional photographer doing mainly stock photography, and had discovered some new software called Adobe Photoshop.  John found that he could use Photoshop to fix problems with photos taken at an expensive photo shoot that would have had to been re-shot.  He also found that he could use the software to create photographs that just could not be shot in real life.  This was a great thing for his stock photography business.



At the time I had just had a business fail, and I was supporting my family as an injection molding press operator, earning near minimum wage working the graveyard shift.  John lived in San Francisco at the time and his studio was located where AT&T stadium is now. I was living in Stockton California, a good hour and a half commute each way.



Well John offered me $50.00 an hour to come work for him in his studio in S.F., and I asked him what time he wanted me to report for work in the morning!



For the next 5 years I worked for my brother doing digital manipulation for stock photography, digital retouching, and lots of digital art and photography for advertising agencies.  I remember one of my first projects was to put an egret’s wings onto a pig for a stock photo of flying pigs. 



Another time I brought my pet three-foot-long iguana to the studio and we photographed him. In those days we used film, and after developing the film we would use a drum scanner to digitize the photo, and then use either Photoshop or Live Picture to manipulate the photos.  We turned the iguana into a fire-breathing dragon.



One job we did for Mother Jones magazine involved replacing Madame Chiang Kai-shek’s head with Hillary Clinton’s head in a photo of Madame Chiang Kai-shek chatting with Eleanor Roosevelt in the rose garden at the White House.  We were later told that Hillary had it framed and put on her desk.  We also heard that she was at first confused because she did not recognize the outfit she was wearing in the photo.  Go figure.



We specialized in “conceptual” stock photography, producing images such as money trees, time flies – (a watch with wings),  an image of the earth in space but made of currency, dollar bills flying out the window, and that kind of thing.  We also did photo-shoots for fortune 500 companies and used digital techniques to produce advertising images.  John acquired an incredible reputation for producing the best stock photography of its kind, and all of the ad agencies knew him well. He was a huge success. He created a line of images he called “Animal Antics” using images of animals doing odd things like skateboarding and riding bikes.  The images were the basis for a highly successful line of greeting cards.



I finally grew tired of the commute and of sitting in front of a computer all day with an art-director telling me what to do. I went back to being an inventor, and John capitalized very well on his pioneering venture into digital stock photography, digital manipulation and funny pictures of animals.



Back then John was the first and for some-time the only stock photographer using digital manipulation to produce stock photos. There was no internet, and stock photography was pretty much limited to ad agencies with big budgets.



In those days he sold stock photography through Tony Stone Images, and The Stock Market.  Now Tony Stone is gone as is The Stock Market and Getty Images and number of other large stock agencies have replaced them.  Royalty free photography, widespread use of digital manipulation, and the internet are changing the face of the industry. Times have changed and John recently told me that the future of stock photography was online.



Mom and Pop business’s are going on the internet to find stock photos for their newsletters, advertising both online and hard copy, brochures, trade show booths, etc.  He feels the future of stock photography is online catering to the masses with low cost stock photography. There is a huge market for all types of photos for everything from photos for websites to pictures for brochures, to pictures for printed merchandise like cups and baseball caps.  Most people now searching for stock photos don’t even know what a stock photo is. They search for “pictures of pigs” or “shark pictures”.



To take advantage of this burgeoning new market for stock photos, today’s upcoming photographers (and the old ones too) need to get their work online where it can be found and purchased.



Once again John is on the leading edge of his field.  John has now launched a new website to address the blossoming online small business stock photo market.  Somewhere on his website there are photos of fire-breathing dragons in a world where pigs do indeed fly.

Wedding Photos

An Introduction To Wedding Photographs

 by Sam Hearn
Your wedding photographs are extremely important element for a successful wedding, and they are the only true reminder that you will have all this special day in years to come. They also something that will be of great interest to future generations, so when choosing a wedding photographer, it is very important that you can fully rely on the person that you entrust with this extremely important task.
Fortunately in most towns and cities there are several top quality and experienced wedding photographers providing those services. However, there are also many people who really do not have any proper training but think that taking pictures on a Saturday afternoon is a good idea to earn extra money. Because anyone can call themselves a photographer, sorting out the professionals from the unqualified part-timers can be a daunting task.
One way of finding a good a wedding photographer is to ask for recommendations. If you select a photographer that your friends or relatives have already used, you will have a good idea of the results you can expect. Ask to see your friend's wedding photos. If you do not like the style, do not consider the photographer even if he does come highly recommended. Everyone's tastes are different and it is important that yours are catered for on your wedding day.
Do not go along with the first wedding photographer you speak to. Interviewing a couple of photographers will give you a far better idea of what kind of choices are available for your wedding pictures, and also what type of person would do a good job. The personality of the photographer is also important, as wedding days can be stressful enough without having somebody around who is annoying you, or bossing your guests in an uncalled for manner.
When interviewing a photographer, be sure to confirm that he is the person who will be present at your wedding. Some wedding photography studios employ several photographers, and they may send along a different man on the big day. This is not optimal for perfect pictures, and you need the person you have conveyed your desires to be the one who is taking the photos.
Although price should not be the most important factor when picking a wedding photographer, you must also be sure that you know what you'll be charged. Before getting into deep discussion about anything, ask the photographer what he will charge, and make sure there are no hidden fees.
Before making a rash decision when choosing a wedding photographer, visit our website to see our portfolio of wedding pictures taken by a professional Toronto wedding photographer, and learn more about how we can provide you with a perfect photographic record of your very special day.

If you are like most people, however, you took one look at all the knobs and dials on your new camera and your eyes glazed over. The potential of these cameras is incredible, though, and it is worth the time it takes to learn to use it properly. The clean detail and beautiful lighting achieved without a flash makes high pixel digital cameras invaluable when quality counts. However, if you cannot figure out how to use your camera to its full potential, you are just as well off with a point and shoot!

Distance learning courses in photography allow you to learn at home, at your own pace. You will learn all the fundamentals of digital photography through CD's, DVD's, and the internet. After a short course of only sixteen lessons, you will know how to manually focus your camera's lens, how to adjust the light settings, and how to center your subjects. The actual creative aspects of photography are addressed as well. Learning how to arrange your subjects artistically and how to eliminate distracting background elements will drastically improve your photographs.

5 Unique Uses for Your Digital Photographs

The improvement in digital photography has been a virtual landslide in technological advances and ease of use. More advanced cameras, printers, and image editing software have combined with a greater number of online and desktop based services allowing you to store and manage photographs. However, while digital photographs often prove to be a more practical and convenient choice when compared to traditional 6 x 4 prints they aren't without their drawbacks.

Regardless of of the number of options that exist to store and share digital images, we tend to download them from the camera or memory card onto the hard drive and then forget about them. Gone are the more tactile practices of handing out family photos and sharing the memories that we've built up across a lifetime. Fortunately, as well as being able to store and share photographs in their digital format the improvement in technology and printing techniques has also seen other options open up to us. Here are five unique and highly effective ways of using your digital photographs.

1 – Photo Calendars

The photo calendar is a personalised calendar that includes thirteen of your photographs in any order you require. Starting and ending in the month of your choice they make perfect gift ideas as well as an excellent means to show off your own photographs.

2 – Photo Bags

A photo bag can be customised to include one or two of your images. By using a photo montage or having one created from your favourite pictures, you can even include a larger selection of pictures. Bags that can be personalised to include your photos include handbags and purses, carry alls and wash bags, and even laptop bags.

3 – Home Décor

There's a great selection of personalised home décor products that include photo wallpaper and roller blinds, folding screens, and various forms of wall art. Used to either add a splash of colour and a mass of personality, or as a great gift idea, personalised home décor is both attractive and unique.

4 – Photo Canvas Prints

You can create your own canvas art using digital photographs. While digital photos do tend to work best it is even possible to scan your old paper prints and have these turned into equally effective canvas prints to hang on any wall.

5 – Photo Books

Photo books are a more modern but equally effective method of showing off your family photos. Images are printed directly onto high definition satin paper with no borders and offering exceptional image reproduction. They can be used to bring back some of the social aspects of sharing photographs and even include a great display or storage tin.

These are just some of the ways that you can use digital photographs in order to create great looking, great quality photo items. Ideal as gifts or as treasured keepsakes for your own use, personalised photo items have many different applications as well as options.

Best Digital Camera For Photography

whats the best macbook & digital photography camera?


i need a new laptop, ive had mine for over 5 years and its time to get a new one

i would like either the macbook pro 17in. or macbook air- which is better?
& whats a good digital photography camera between $200-$300
i prefer nikon or cannon, i think they work best

any suggestions?


I can't help you out much with the camera, but I can give you some input on the computer.
I'd say definitely buy a macbook pro. Obviously, macs are the nicest laptops when it comes to designing and photography. The air is gonna be a huge pain in the butt, because everything is external. Sure it's light, but it's super expensive for the quality you're going to get. For example, it does NOT come with a CD/DVD drive, you have to buy that separately. Everything is plugged into a USB port outside of the computer. I believe the air only has one USB port, also, which is a HUGE downside, considering all the stuff you have to plug into it.
Another downside (I'm not sure if this is completely true) but the only type of internet you can get with the air is WiFi, so most likely, you will eventually have to plug in a wireless connector, or a modem, taking up your 1 USB port already. Another downside to the air is that it has low battery life. It DOES run cooler than the other macbooks, so you can keep it on your lap for a while without it heating up really bad. In my opinion, I would definitely choose the pro, because it seems like less of a hassle. Lets just put it in this perspective:
say you want to plug in a mouse, a printer, your camera, an external CD/DVD drive, and a wireless modem; that's 5 USB ports needed, compared to the one you're given. I'm sure you can buy USB hubs for the air, but that's just even MORE money you're going to have to spend.

Hope I helped! :D
