How to Read Image Histograms. Reading histograms is an important skill to acquire in the world of digital photography.

How to Read Image Histograms

Most images from digital cameras will require some amount of post processing, particularly if you shoot raw format. And most of the processing can be done by viewing the aesthetics of the image as you go, but having the ability to read and manipulate a histogram will increase your productivity and output quality. So what exactly is a histogram? Scherptediepte in de praktijk. Inleiding.

Shutter Speed Chart & Photography Guide [Updated 2018] – Dave Morrow Photography

Shutter speed photography settings, combined with ISO, and f-stop (controls aperture), give the photographer ultimate creative control over the photograph & the exposure triangle. Shutter speed photography settings control two important factors within an image: Motion Blur: Example, smooth water produced by long shutter speeds or fast moving objects frozen with sharp focus, produced by short shutter speeds.Image Brightness: Length of time light is exposed to the camera sensor, which determines the overall exposure. Below, you’ll learn how shutter speed works & the best shutter speed settings to produce the correct exposure for any shooting situation. Table of Contents. Licht.

A Brief History of Photography and the Camera

In almost 200 years, the camera developed from a plain box that took blurry photos to the high-tech mini computers found in today's DSLRs and smartphones. The story of photography is fascinating and it's possible to go into great detail. However, let's take a brief look at the highlights and major developments of this scientific art form. The First Cameras The basic concept of photography has been around since about the 5th century B.C.E. Even then, the camera did not actually record images, it simply projected them onto another surface. The first camera obscura used a pinhole in a tent to project an image from outside the tent into the darkened area. The First Permanent Images Photography, as we know it today, began in the late 1830s in France. Process: The First Photograph.

Early Experiments with Lithography The term "heliography" was coined by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce to identify the process by which he obtained his earliest photographic images.

Process: The First Photograph

Niépce began experimenting with lithographic printmaking—which led to his invention of heliography—because of his inability to draft images by hand. During his trials with lithography, he experimented with light-sensitive varnishes and then with images produced in camera, but he was unable to prevent the images from fading. Niépce discovered that he produced his best results while using a solution of bitumen of Judea, which dated back to the ancient Egyptians but continued to be used for making lithographic engravings in the 1800s. Photomechanical Reproduction In 1822, Niépce successfully made a heliograph from an engraving of Pope Pius VII, which was destroyed during an attempt to copy it some years later. About Bokeh. About BokehWhat is Bokeh?

About Bokeh

Bokeh is a term, originally from Japanese (暈す-to blur; or ぼけ), that has come to mean the subjective aesthetic quality of the out of focus area of an image. Two key terms in this definition are SUBJECTIVE and IMAGE. One cannot measure bokeh, as it is something that may be pleasing to one person and not another. I have my opinion of what makes for good bokeh, and, as I own this site, I get to define good and bad Bokeh for the purposes here! The other key term is “image.” Bokeh of an IMAGE is highly dependent on the lighting of a scene, distance between lens, subject and background, how much contrast is in a background scene, how much the background contributes to an image (maybe you WANT the background to be partially visible), how busy the background is, as well as lens factors, as well.

The Oldest Photograph of People. DSLR Autofocus Modes Explained. Most modern digital SLR cameras are equipped with advanced autofocus systems that are often hard to understand. Whether you are shooting with an entry-level or professional DSLR, knowing how to use autofocus system effectively is essential to get sharp images. A badly-focused, blurry image can ruin a photograph and you cannot repair it in post-processing. Some professionals often end up converting their images to black and white, to hide their focusing problems. Easy exercise to learn to control your flash and visualise the power of light - Academy of Photography.
