Le Zone System appliqué au numérique

Elle n'a aucune idée de ce qu'elle photographie et part du principe que toutes les compositions ont la même valeur tonale : gris moyen (le célèbre gris 18% de la charte Kodak). Par exemple, sans correction, une scène de neige sera sous-exposée. Et si vous suivez scrupuleusement les indications de la cellule, chaque composition aura la même densité grise moyenne et vous obtiendrez un bon nombre de mauvaises expositions, surtout dans des conditions de lumière difficiles. Daguerre et Nadar doivent se retourner dans leur tombe.

After covering the U.S. Civil War, (many of his photos appear in this earlier series), O'Sullivan joined a number of expeditions organized by the federal government to help document the new frontiers in the American West.

What is the future of digital cameras and where will we be in 5 or even 10 years?

25+1 BANQUES D’IMAGES LIBRES DE DROITS

Pourquoi? Et bien simplement parce que ça faisait un petit bout de temps que je me questionnais sur mes droits d’utiliser l’ancienne image et dans le doute, j’ai préféré jouer “prudent”. Vous le savez sans doute, ce n’est pas parce que vous trouvez une image sur le web, que vous pouvez automatiquement vous en servir.
