8 Ways To Grow Mentally, Physically, Emotionally & Spiritually

By “surviving” we’re not referring to making sure we have something to eat and drink each day; “surviving” has become so much more complicated than that. For many people, “surviving” a day means being able to accomplish what others expect of them — “others” being the boss, the spouse, children, parents, friends, and so on.

Photography 101 Tutorial: How To Use Shutter Speed. While aperture refers to how narrow or wide a camera’s shutter opens, the shutter speed determines how long it stays open.

Photography 101 Tutorial: How To Use Shutter Speed

A faster shutter speed lets in less light, and a longer shutter speed allows more light to reflect off your subject and onto the camera’s sensor. Photography, like our vision, is all about light reflecting off the surfaces in a scene and exposing/recording internally as an image. As I discussed in my post about aperture, when you’re shooting in Aperture Priority (Av) mode, you select the aperture, and your camera’s built in light meter will measure what the shutter speed should be. As you decrease the size of the aperture, thus decreasing the amount of light that can reach your camera’s sensor at a given moment, the shutter speed will slow down to allow enough time for the proper amount of light to get through.

If the aperture is larger, thus allowing more light in at one time, the shutter speed is faster to keep from allowing too much light. Canon Explains Exposure. A Little About Exposure: Exposure is the amount of light a digital camera's sensor captures when a photo is taken.

Canon Explains Exposure

Too much light results in a washed out photo (overexposed). Too little light and the photo will be too dark (underexposed). A camera's Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO settings directly affect exposure, but more importantly, they allow you to control how each photo will look. ProMonitor Support. BetterPhoto Instructor Insights: Photography Panning for Sports and Action. By Doug Steakley photo copyright by Doug Steakley Panning is the technique of following and photographing a moving subject with a shutter speed that is slow enough to cause the background to blur but fast enough to capture detail in the subject.

Panning is a powerful technique for sports such as race cars, motorcycles, running or bicycling and it works equally well with wildlife. Diagonal Leading Lines in Photography Composition. Of all the lines used in photography, diagonals are the most dynamic.

Diagonal Leading Lines in Photography Composition

You can use them to create a strong impression of movement or you can use them to create a tremendous sense of depth. All images are created with lines—some vertical, horizontal and others converging—but knowing how to place them affects the mood and composition of the final image. A sense of order is created with vertical and horizontal lines, implying stability and strength. Diagonals are unbalanced and appear to be unstable. What they communicate is dynamic, yet precarious. 52 photography projects: a photo idea to try every week of the year.

Buildings & Structures - TALLIS PHOTOGRAPHY. Raffaele Petralla. Interview with Fine Art Portrait Photographer Bill Gekas. Earlier in the year while surfing through a list of photographers on Google Plus I came across a photograph that grabbed my attention.

Interview with Fine Art Portrait Photographer Bill Gekas

A young girl with rosy cheeks, big wide eyes and a serious look on her face stood against a green wallpapered wall dressed in a bright red jacket while holding a bowl of cherries. The image was striking on many levels – the subject, the colour, the pose, the style of the image and what it evoked on an emotional level all caused me to look twice. The photographer was Bill Gekas and a quick look through the rest of his work revealed some beautiful images with a distinct style and attention to detail. Today I’m excited to present an interview with Bill Gekas as well as some of his beautiful images. Bill lives in Melbourne Australia. Current Trends In Portrait Photography World.

Current Trends In Portrait Photography World

Bringing out the best in your subject by taking a different route and photo ensemble each time and carving a different mood for every client is what makes portraiture unique in its own rights. However, just like other things in the world, trends come and go with the portrait photography landscape as well. Let us have a look at all the trends that are creating some buzz this season. The way we are clicking portraits is changing. Here are a few trends that are here to stay. How to photograph textures. Texture Photography can sometimes be challenging, since composition, light and depth work differently than in, for example, landscape photography. In texture photography, it’s all about patterns, colors and depth, and every single detail of a texture plays a significant role in the overall perception of the photograph. The combination of these intricate details, interesting patterns, vibrant colors and a good depth – all contribute to a beautiful texture. NIKON D700 @ 38mm, ISO 280, 1/100, f/8.0 Here are some tips on photographing textures: 1) Find a texture.

How to Take Better Pictures Using Just the Pop-Up Flash. The dreaded pop-up flash. For many photographers, the thought of using only our built-in flash makes us cringe – and for good reasons. When not carefully altered, the pop-up flash gives off a harsh, direct light that is unnatural. Your photographs will turn out flat every time because the head-on direction of the light erases any shadows that would have added depth or texture. Many times the pop-up flash will overexpose the subject if it is too close in range and the flash intensity is not adjusted accordingly. Such shortcomings are especially apparent when shooting portraits. Introduction to Exposure. Exposure is one of the most basic elements of photography, and most important. In its most basic sense, exposure is how light or dark everything appears in the image. This process begins when light from a source reflects off the objects in your scene.

That light enters your camera through the lens and is absorbed by the sensor. 15283. Quizalize. Assignment 3 – Colour – Research – Ernst Haas. I’ve enjoyed the coursework and exercises for part three and looked forward to planning the assignment. When I first started this TAoP module I dipped into one of the recommended course books Caruana and Fox (2012).

I have now re-visited this book and found the content to be much more relevant. Over the last couple of months it has been slowly dawning on me that by exploring other photographers, both past and present, and their work I can gain both inspiration and knowledge that will help me develop my own practice. Planning for Assignment 3 is probably the first time during this course that I have spent a lot of time reading and researching and I have found that I have enjoyed it very much.

At the start of this section’s coursework I saw Ernst Haas mentioned and was immediately interested in the work of this pioneer of colour photography and wanted to find out more about both Haas and his work.
