In this review I dig a little deeper in my thoughts about living with the RX100 II, and compare it to the RX100. If you serious about purchasing this camera you should probably start with my RX100 review that I did in January of this year as this review will focus mostly on improvements that I discovered in this model. The Same but Different All of the things I liked and disliked about the RX100M1 carry over to this model, but there’s also some nice improvements that make it worth the upgrade. NOTE: This camera does have a optical low pass filter. Sony has a great web page discussing the features of this camera, but sadly they don’t do a good job of showing what’s new.

Camera metering modes matrix pattern evaluative center spot partial

To improve your photography you need to know when to set your digital camera on matrix, pattern, evaluative, center weighted metering, spot and partial metering. Metering modes can be one of the most frustrating settings for beginners to SLR photography. If you have ever taken an under or over exposed photograph using program mode (P), aperture priority (A Nikon, AV Canon) or shutter priority (S NIkon, TV Canon), chances are you've set the metering mode incorrectly. Metering systems work by measuring the amount of brightness within a scenery or object, then sets the exposure accordingly. Using the Photoshop Curves Tool. The Photoshop curves tool is perhaps the most powerful and flexible image transformation, yet it may also be one of the most intimidating.

Using the Photoshop Curves Tool

Since photographers effectively paint with light, curves is central to their practice because it affects light's two primary influences: tones and contrast.

In the digital age, the square format like film photography, certainly isn't dead. A Little History Square format cameras have been around a long time. The first one was introduced by Rollei in 1929.

One of the most effective ways of cutting through this haze and capturing a vibrant photo with saturated colours and a deep blue sky is to use a polarizing filter. In this workshop we’ll show you everything you need to know. The photo of the mountain range, above left, may have been taken under bright, sunny conditions, but the result looks hazy and is lacking impact.

Learning about Exposure – The Exposure Triangle. A Post By: Darren Rowse Bryan Peterson has written a book titled Understanding Exposure which is a highly recommended read if you’re wanting to venture out of the Auto mode on your digital camera and experiment with it’s manual settings.

Learning about Exposure – The Exposure Triangle

In it Bryan illustrates the three main elements that need to be considered when playing around with exposure by calling them ‘the exposure triangle’. Each of the three aspects of the triangle relate to light and how it enters and interacts with the camera. The three elements are: ISO – the measure of a digital camera sensor’s sensitivity to lightAperture – the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is takenShutter Speed – the amount of time that the shutter is open It is at the intersection of these three elements that an image’s exposure is worked out.

Most importantly – a change in one of the elements will impact the others. Digital Camera Sensor Sizes: How it Influences Your Photography. This article aims to address the question: how does your digital camera's sensor size influence different types of photography?

Digital Camera Sensor Sizes: How it Influences Your Photography

Your choice of sensor size is analogous to choosing between 35 mm, medium format and large format film cameras — with a few notable differences unique to digital technology. Much confusion often arises on this topic because there are both so many different size options, and so many trade-offs relating to depth of field, image noise, diffraction, cost and size/weight. Background reading on this topic can be found in the tutorial on digital camera sensors.
