The Frozen in Time Effect! Why ED, LD, ELD, SLD and ASPH Glass Make a Difference in Your Photographs. When shopping for a new lens, sooner or later you’re going to run into the terms “ED” (extra-low dispersion), “LD” (low dispersion), “SLD” (special low dispersion), “ELD” (extraordinary low dispersion), and “ULD” (ultra-low dispersion), and each of these variants represents a standard above the norm when it comes to image quality.

Why ED, LD, ELD, SLD and ASPH Glass Make a Difference in Your Photographs

The key reason LD, ED, ELD, ULD and SLD glass are important in lens design is because of their ability to reduce levels of chromatic aberration, or color fringing, an optical phenomenon in which the colors that make up the image come into focus at slightly differing planes (similar to the way a prism or rainbow breaks white light into individual color channels) as they strike the surface of your camera’s imaging sensor. The net effect is a loss of contrast, color tonality and a perceptual loss of image sharpness. Canon PL Mount. SLR Lens Mount Identification Guide - Tripod.com.

Tilt–shift photography. Tilt–shift photography is the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene.

Tilt–shift photography

Sometimes the term is used when the large depth of field is simulated with digital post-processing; the name may derive from a perspective control lens (or tilt–shift lens) normally required when the effect is produced optically. Sensor size explained. At the heart of every digital camera is a light-sensitive silicon chip called a sensor. The sensor takes the place of film for recording images. The size of these rectangular chips varies depending on the type of camera. In small compact cameras the sensors are relatively tiny, sometimes no larger than the size of the fingernail on someone's little finger.

Above: The full-frame sensor in the Nikon D700. Why NASA don't use Canon: Canon EOS-1D / 5D / 6D Talk Forum: Digital Photogra... There have been a few threads over the years about what cameras NASA take into space and why. So when an opportunity arose, I had to take it: I was doing a subcontracting job at NASA last week and I got speaking to a guy in Image Analysis. I told him I was most interested in the cameras being used for shuttle missions and on the ISS. The guy told me they use Kodak and Nikon DSLRs and Nikkor lenses exclusively. Normal lens. In photography and cinematography, a normal lens is a lens that reproduces a field of view that appears "natural" to a human observer. Circle of confusion.

In photography, the circle of confusion (“CoC”) is used to determine the depth of field, the part of an image that is acceptably sharp. A standard value of CoC is often associated with each image format, but the most appropriate value depends on visual acuity, viewing conditions, and the amount of enlargement. Properly, this is the maximum permissible circle of confusion, the circle of confusion diameter limit, or the circle of confusion criterion, but is often informally called simply the circle of confusion. Real lenses do not focus all rays perfectly, so that even at best focus, a point is imaged as a spot rather than a point. Film format. A film format is a technical definition of a set of standard characteristics regarding image capture on photographic film, for either stills or filmmaking. It can also apply to projected film, either slides or movies. Depth of field and your digital camera. Hitchcock/Truffaut Official Trailer 1 (2015) - Wes Anderson, Olivier Assayas ...
