Photography: How to Take Sharper Pictures

Here are some easy, but essential tips on achieving the best (and by best, I mean the sharpest) results from your digital camera. If I had a nickel for every time someone with a new camera blamed the camera itself as the reason why their pictures aren't coming out as crisp as those seen in photo books, magazines for even this site, I'd be able to pay someone to write this guide for me. Unfortunately, I don't. So here I am. The Camera or the Photographer ? http://www.nyfalls.com/article-photographing-3.html

Ron Herron's "Mamiya 35mm Cameras" Sunny 16 Rule

The "Sunny 16" Rule and Other Camera Basics For some of the younger crowd it may seem hard to believe, but until the late 1960s very few photographers used electronic exposure meters. Most relied on experience (or secretly used printed exposure guides). Some photographers (us "Old-Timers") still prefer to work with the old mechanical cameras, and know that it pays to have some of the basics in your head, because the essential photographic facts, formulas and rules can help you get good shots, even when the fanciest of meters fail. The "Sunny 16" Rule The basic exposure rule for an average scene taken on a bright, sunny day is to use f/16 at a shutter speed equivalent to one over the ISO setting; that is, f/16 at 1/100 sec (or the nearest equivalent, 1/125) at ISO 100, etc. In other words, the shutter speed will vary according to the ISO you are using.

What Works in Black & White

Contrast & key If you are using picture-editing software or a traditional darkroom to make your black-and-white photos, contrast and key are aspects you can emphasize or minimize in ways that are impossible in color pictures. High-contrast (an extreme range between bright and dark) scenes may confine a viewer's attention to one element, while a low-contrast (with a narrow brightness range) scene may convey serenity and peace. You may also hear the terms high key (predominately light tones) and low key (predominately dark tones) in relation to black-and-white photography.
