The Top 10 Photo Techniques of 2011 Being a photographer is sort of like being in school--in a good way. There's always something new to learn. (Or if you prefer, you could just let your photo editor do most of the hard work for you.) As I write my very last Digital Focus of 2011, I thought it would be fun to take a look back and round up the ten most essential articles. If you're looking to brush up on some photography techniques over the holiday break, here are my recommendations. 1. It's true that rules are made to be broken, but you should really understand the basics before you start flouting convention. 2. Never again feel confused when someone asks for a photo "in 300 dpi" or be unsure if your picture is too big to email. 3. In the old days, the only way to improve the exposure of a photo was in a darkroom. 4. It might sound intimidating, but hyperfocal photography is really just a technique for ensuring your entire image, from foreground to background, is in sharp focus. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Hot Pic of the Week
Phototuts+ Photography For the image obtained, see Photograph. Lens and mounting of a large-format camera Photography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.[1] Photography is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g. photolithography) and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, recreational purposes, and mass communication. Etymology[edit] The word "photography" was created from the Greek roots φωτός (phōtos), genitive of φῶς (phōs), "light"[2] and γραφή (graphé) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing",[3] together meaning "drawing with light". Several people may have coined the same new term from these roots independently. History[edit] Precursor technologies[edit] A camera obscura used for drawing images Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries.
projects Happy February everyone! I am still planning on running more photo challenges via sh1ft.org photographic projects, but in the meantime I thought I would share the fun Instagram photo challenges that I’ve come across. Since I got my hands on an iPhone a few months ago, it’s been fun to use Instagram as another way to connect with other people and now that there’s more challenges, it’s great to see people get creative with their photos. The most popular of Instagram challenges currently – it started with #JANphotoaday and now we’re onto #FEBphotoaday and I think it’s going to be even bigger this month! Photo Of The Day is another great Instagram game to get stuck into. Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes & hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team.

Today we bring you the Photographer’s Pouch, designed and produced by Will Kortum. Hi Will! Hi! How did you come up with this idea? I first came up with the Photographer’s Pouch through frustration with my camera bag. Why did you choose to use felt as the material? I chose smooth felt because I wanted something that would be soft enough to protect lenses, filters, and cameras from scratches but that would be less prone to sticking to Velcro. So you're a photographer yourself. I primarily shoot street photography, but I’ve been experimenting with urban landscapes recently. What do you shoot with? For the past 7 months or so, I was shooting almost exclusively Neopan 400 in my Leica M6 and two Ricoh GR1’s, but I’ve recently been focusing more on color work. Awesome advice.
Charlie Chaplin Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the silent era. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry.[1] His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death at age 88, and encompassed both adulation and controversy. Chaplin's childhood in London was defined by poverty and hardship. As his father was absent and his mother struggled financially, he was sent to a workhouse twice before the age of nine. Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, edited, starred in, and composed the music for most of his films.
