DIY - Create Your Own Bokeh Bokeh is an adaptation from a a Japanese word meaning blur. In photography this term is used to describe the quality of the areas in the picture which are not in focus. When referring to Bokeh, we can distinguish some of it characteristics: – Is the light/dark gradient smooth or sharp? – What shape will a small dot of light take what it is in the Bokeh area? (mirror lenses for example, create a bagel like Bokeh) We can play with those two variants to create a special Bokeh. You will need : One large aperture lens (a Canon 50mm F1.8 (B&H) is used here, but Nikon 50mm 1.8 (B&H) will also do, and the superb Nikon 50mm 1.4 (B&H) will work even better)One sheet of black paperboard 1. 2. 3. Here are two shots to demonstrate this technique – one with a bare lens and the other with the hearted hood. Here are the parameters for the example shown above: Lens – Canon 50mm F1.8“Lens hood” Diameter: 70mm (2.75 inch)Hole diameter: 15mm (0.6inch) Do you have a cool bokeh?
Understanding Light | Digital Photography Courses Light and The Photographer Written by: Digital Photography Photography Lesson #1 Light is the primary working tool of the photographer. Light is the visible portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum. When we place a prism in front of a white ray, the prism will diffract (separate) that light into all the colors of the spectrum. When we place a LENS in front of any ray, that lens will simply refract (bend) that ray. So, being in focus simply means moving the lens elements forward or backward until all the rays coming toward the camera from the subject meet at one point; the focal point on the film. In the illustration above, you will see a point where the rays meet. Here’s lesson #2: Light and the Human Eye.
Five Places to Take Pictures in All 50 U.S. States The “Great American Road Trip” is a dream shared by many, myself included. So I got to thinking about what I would like to do if I were to visit every state in the U.S. There are obviously too many great things in this country for one person to photograph everything in-depth during one lifetime so I came up with the idea for this blog post – Five Places to Take Pictures in All 50 U.S. States. This would still be quite an undertaking but probably attainable for most people with careful planning and resources. Coming up with five places to photograph in every state was not as easy as I had initially thought so in addition to personal experience it required me to do some research on state tourism websites, Trip Advisor, stock photography websites, Google Images, Smithsonian guide books and soliciting feedback from other photographers both on this blog and on a popular nature photography forum. This list is based on my interests which are landscapes, history and American culture. Alabama
The Connecticut Highlands, Connecticut Only 90 miles from Manhattan, the region extends east from the Connecticut-New York border for about 15 miles and south from the Massachusetts border for about 40 miles. The major north-south highways are US 7, and CT 63, with US 202 and CT 4 providing the major east-west routes. All four highways provide scenic travel and plenty of potential photo ops. The towns of Kent, Sharon and Salisbury offer typical small-town New England scenery and hospitality. Weather The Highlands experience the usual weather for the northern temperate zone of the eastern U.S. Expect spring to be in full swing by late April or early May, with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s. Summer brings hot and muggy days, with temps in the 80s and 90s. Fall brings alternating stretches of sunny, warm weather with highs in the 70s, followed by drizzly, cool days. For more sweeping vistas, hike to the open ledges along the Appalachian Trail. Add Comment
