DOF. What Photographers are NOT Considering When Using High ISO. Can I Use that Picture? Don't Fly Drones Here. The Inverse Square Law of Light Explained in Simple Terms for Photographers. If the term “inverse square law of light” immediately sets you to hyperventilating as flashbacks of college physics begin playing in your mind’s eye, take a few breaths into that paper bag, calm down, and click play on the video above. In 6 minutes, Karl Taylor will explain this law and how it affects you specifically as a photographer without overwhelming you in the process. In simple terms, and with a straightforward example, Taylor shows you how moving a light further away from a group of people makes it possible to properly expose everybody (both the ones closest to and ones farthest away from the light), and why we have the inverse square law of light to thank for it.

It wouldn’t do to bog down such a simple explanation with a complicated summary, and so we’ll let the video do the talking from here out. Check it out at the top and drop you feedback down below. (via Photography Bay) In-Depth Presentation Demystifies the Gray Areas of Copyright Law for Photographers. This hour and fifteen minute-long presentation is one of the most detailed and useful videos on copyright law for photographers that we’ve run across. Put together by B&H in New York, they asked the The Copyright Zone guys, photographer Jack Reznicki and lawyer Ed Greenberg, to tell viewers and attendees “everything you wanted to know about copyright but were afraid to ask.”

A mark in the pros column for this video, and one of the reasons you should bookmark it if you can’t view it right away, is that they’re not going over the absolute basics. The point of the presentation is to address the “boatload bad information, myths, factoids, and half-truths” about copyright that are floating around. At an hour and fifteen minutes, it’s not a short watch by any stretch of the imagination, but the duo’s fun and funny style makes for an engaging presentation that isn’t at all difficult to sit through.

Understanding Golden Hour, Blue Hour and Twilights. Learn How To Remove Anything From A Photo Using Photoshop. Pin It How many times have you taken a photo and not noticed something unwanted in the frame? Maybe a tree branch that appears as if it’s coming from someone’s head, or someone stepped into the frame who wasn’t meant to be there, or perhaps a set piece out of place, we’ve been there. Sometimes it’s due to negligence, sometimes you have no control over the matter, and other times everything else in the shot couldn’t be more right and you just have to get rid of that item. Well, Phlearn and Aaron Nace have put together a tutorial which illustrates methods anyone with Photoshop can employ to remove any unwanted thing from a picture.

[REWIND: A Sneak Peak Of A New Photoshop CC Feature] In this particular instance, the objects in question are a rather obvious garbage can sitting too close to the model, and a light post.

Noise Reduction By Image Averaging. Image noise can compromise the level of detail in your digital or film photos, and so reducing this noise can greatly enhance your final image or print. The problem is that most techniques to reduce or remove noise always end up softening the image as well. Some softening may be acceptable for images consisting primarily of smooth water or skies, but foliage in landscapes can suffer with even conservative attempts to reduce noise. This section compares a couple common methods for noise reduction, and also introduces an alternative technique: averaging multiple exposures to reduce noise. Image averaging is common in high-end astrophotography, but is arguably underutilized for other types of low-light and night photography. Image averaging works on the assumption that the noise in your image is truly random.

The above plot represents brightness fluctuations along thin blue and red strips of pixels in the top and bottom images, respectively. Noise Reduction By Image Averaging. "The Ultimate Guide To Neutral Density Filters" by Peter Hill. COPYRIGHT WARNINGThis Journal is subject to copyright. You do not have permission to copy it, in part or whole, and re-publish it. It is for information purposes only. Currency Statement: Last updated on 12 November 2012. Introduction This Guide explains and demonstrate the use of extreme neutral density filters, with particular focus (groan) on the Hoya 9-stop ND x400 Filter, the Lee “Big Stopper” 10-stop ND Filter, and the 10-stop B+W #110 ND Filter, with some discussion of neutral density filters in general.

There has been a world-wide shortage of those particular filters as they’ve gained popularity with DSLR users, with Hoya, Lee and B+W being caught out by the sudden upsurge in demand. I attribute a chunk of the cause to the popularisation of their usage by such websites as Redbubble and Flickr, and magazines, particularly the UK’s Digital SLR Photography.

Pin It Throughout my wedding photography career, I felt like I struggled with “posing.” Many years ago in an attempt to fix this problem, I attended a Flow Posing workshop. In case you aren’t familiar with Flow Posing, it is a system that takes couples through 35 poses or more in about 5 minutes. Sounds great, right? Flow posing involves quick direction and touching clients to place their heads in the correct orientation. During the flow posing workshop, I was taught that I must keep talking in order to maintain control of my clients. While flow posing is efficient, the results I saw weren’t pleasing to the eye.

Kevin Kubota's Photographers Ignite » Kirk Voclain. Artists & Alchemists. What Would the World Look Like If the Air Were Truly Transparent? For the purposes of this question, I’m going to assume that “truly transparent” means that air and its constituents are no longer able to absorb and re-radiate incident radiation, which in visible light seems to be our definition of transparency.

To make things much more fun, let’s make this true over all wavelengths. In this situation most phenomena associated with incident light and other forms of radiation’s interactions with the atmosphere cease. Rayleigh scattering no longer makes the sky blue; instead, it is black as night all the time. The moon would be visible at all times. Because of the lack of Rayleigh scattering, there would also be no diffuse solar radiation (at least from the atmosphere), and the sun would be the same color no matter what its position on the horizon (unlike now, when the color of the sun to an observer depends on the distance through the atmosphere that the light passes through). So, what might the world look like?

Color Management for Digital Photographers | White Balance and Camera Profiles — X-Rite Photo Blog. By Brenda K. Hipsher – February 24th, 2014 This is the third in our five part series called Color Management for Digital Photographers. Today we will deal with issues concerning the captured image in the camera. First we need to talk about those of you who do not shoot raw images. There are two inescapable facts: 1. Using a raw image workflow gives you infinitely more control over the processed image. 2. Some of you are only going to shoot .jpg format. It’s important to come to terms with the reality that camera profiles are not usable if you’re in a .jpg workflow. The next point that must be dealt with is that any adjustment to a processed file results in data loss. X-Rite ColorChecker Passport includes a White Balance target ideal for performing an in camera white balance.

Custom camera profiles are made using the ColorChecker Classic. You can also click on either Lightroom or Photoshop videos to view them. Check out parts one and two in this series using the links below: The Best iPhone Time-Lapse Apps 2013 - iPhone and iPad Timelapse. Did you know that your iPhone or iPad are the ultimate time-lapse photography tool capable of creating truly stunning HD videos at 1080p? Not only that they are the most affordable time lapse tool available and unlike a DSLR which also requires expensive additional accessories like an intervalometer, a powerful computer and specialist software just to be able to make one – the iPhone and iPad allows you to do this on a single device, get instant feedback and will even let you render your final film in your pocket on your way back from a shoot! But just how good do time-lapses created on an iPhone look?

Well check out this collection of time-lapses that we shot using an iPhone 5 for our Epic Guide to iPhone and iPad Time Lapse but keep in mind that not all iPhone and iPad time lapse apps are created equal, which is why we decided to create a list of the best iPhone time-lapse apps for 2013.Now just like shooting time-lapses with a DSLR it’s essential that you use a tripod. Industry concerned about Getty Images’ free-for-all approach. On 05 March Getty Images launched an embed programme that will allow anyone to use 35 million of its images free for non-commercial purposes. The decision, taken to stop the widespread unauthorised use of images with attribution, has shaken the market, with independent photographers calling on Getty Images to rethink its strategy.

BJP has reached out to representative organisations around the world, with the American Society of Media Photographers expressing its unease . “The ASMP, as always, is concerned for the long-term ability of photographers to earn a sustainable living,” says executive director Eugene Mopsik. “We embrace the idea of using new technologies to give publishers at all levels access to great imagery. We look to companies like Getty to use these technologies to create new income streams for photographers. We don’t expect the entire pie, just a fair and reasonable piece.

Tutorial: How to Effectively Remove Color Casts from Your Photos in Seconds. There are many ways to remove color casts from your images in Photoshop, but this tutorial by photographer and retoucher Michael Woloszynowicz offers one of the quickest, easiest and most effective methods we’ve seen. Like the video, we’re going to keep this one short. There’s really nothing to it. Instead of messing with your color balance or curves to try and take away, say, an orange color cast, he suggests you use a more subtle technique to get more accurate results. Here’s his before and after: The great thing about this technique, other than Woloszynowicz’s claim that it works on any kind of image, is that it employs color theory to get consistent results every time — and it won’t alter the overall coloring of your images either. To see how he does it, check out the video at the top. (via Fstoppers) DEDPXL | More Signal. Less Noise. Our Most Popular YouTube Video of the Week [Feb. 16-23]
