Die 5 Goldenen Regeln der Stockfotografie | Magazin für Fotografie 2. Mai 2008 · 13 Kommentare Von Robert Kneschke Es gibt gestalterische Regeln , die ein gutes Foto ausmachen. 1. Werbung will verkaufen und braucht neben einem Foto als Blickfang oft etwas Platz, um Überschrift und Text unterzubringen. 2. Die meisten Zeitschriften, Bücher, broschüren, Plakate und auch Spiegel sind hochkant, unter anderem deshalb, weil Menschen nun mal “hochkant” sind. 3. Als Erweiterung der ersten Regel gilt, dass dem Auge möglichst nur das Hauptmotiv als Reiz geboten werden soll. 4. Auch in der Stockfotografie gibt es Trends. Auch die Motive unterliegen dem Wandel. 5. Wer Fotos verkaufen will, muss professionell arbeiten.

5 Ideas to Kick Start Your Photography Again A Post By: Darren Rowse Image by Eric May Last week I was speaking with an amateur photographer who told me that he’s been struggling for photographic inspiration and ideas lately. He reflected that he felt like he’d become something of a lazy photographer and was in a bit of a rut – always photographing the same things in the same ways. I shared a number of ideas from my own experiences of seeking photographic inspiration (some of which I’ll share below) but it struck me halfway through the conversation that a lot of the ideas I was suggesting was actually about him limiting himself in his photography in some way – in order to find inspiration. Let me explain by looking at 5 photography ideas that I shared with him. Note: by no means am I suggesting that these are the only ways to get inspired – they’ve just helped me at times. 1. I wrote about this recently in a challenge here on dPS. Variation: another option for this is to choose a lens that you may not have used much before. 2. 3. 4. 5.
How to Shoot the Night Sky (Introduction to Astrophotography) The following post on photographing the night sky is by jgomez65 – one of dPS’s forum members. Several people asked me to post a simple tutorial on how I took some night sky pictures. I am not an astrophotographer in any way, shape or form, nor do I have any expensive equipment. Anyway, here is how I did it. 1. You need a camera that has manual exposure mode. You will also need a remote control or a shutter release cable in order to minimize shaking the camera when taking the pictures. You will definitely need a tripod 2. The darker the place, the better it is. 3. First, try to use a lens with a large aperture. Next, set your camera at a high ISO. Finally, in order to avoid the star trail (that is avoiding capturing the movement of the stars as the earth rotates) you have to use the RULE of 600 which is very easy: Divide 600 by the focal length of the lens you are using. 4. Tip: Every time I am done with a set of pictures, I place my hand in front of the lens and take another picture. 5.

5 Key Skills for the Modern Photographer A Guest post by Saul Molloy from Shotslot. Image by Romain Ballez All the whistles and bells of the modern camera should, at least in theory, make crafting great images an easier and more straightforward process than it used to be – with all these exposure modes, focussing tools, picture styles and the like, camera manufacturers would like you to believe that it’s just a matter of squeezing the shutter and hey presto you’re Bailey. Certainly getting the tricky business of exposure right has become more straightforward for the technologically challenged – you really don’t need to know much to get some passable snapshots but what about if you want to take your photography further? Photography is so very different an activity from that of even ten years ago. 1. Hone your ‘developing’ skills to where you can take an image and get the very best out of it in your digital darkroom. 2. You need to know composition, exposure and how to utilise your camera to get the most out of it. 3. 4. 5.
What Every Photographer Needs to Know About Facebook A Post By: Darren Rowse A Guest Post by Alison Zarrella – co-author of The Facebook Marketing Book. 2011 is shaping up to be a big year for photography on Facebook. Photography has historically been an area where Facebook excels, and for good reason. Maximize Your Reach As a person, you’re allowed a Facebook Profile.

Customize Your Page Facebook provides lots of native, free applications to help brand your Page. Get Creative With Content
Rolands Fotokurs: Schärfentiefe Ähnlich wie sich die (in der vorigen Lektion besprochene) Verwacklung kreativ nutzen lässt, indem Teilbereiche des Bildes scharf und andere verwischt erscheinen, kann man auch die Schärfe kreativ beeinflussen und je nach Situation beispielsweise den Hintergrund verschwommen erscheinen lassen, während das Hauptmotiv scharf erscheint. Möglich wird dies durch möglichst geschickte Beeinflussung der Schärfentiefe. Als Schärfentiefe wird der Bereich vor und hinter der Scharfstellebene bezeichnet, der auf dem Foto noch als scharf wahrgenommen wird. Das Bildbeispiel links (das manchen Lesern dieser Homepage schon von meiner Rom-Seite bekannt ist) soll dies verdeutlichen: Während die Tauben (einigermaßen) scharf abgebildet sind, liegt der Hintergrund schon nicht mehr im Bereich der Schärfentiefe, sondern ist leicht unscharf. In diesem Falle ist dies so gewollt, um die Tauben plastischer vor dem Hintergrund erscheinen zu lassen. Maßstäbe kennen wir z. Im Makrobereich kehrt es sich übrigens um.
How to Take Photos that Stand Out from the Crowd I think this is a valuable piece of information to pass along to both newcomers to photography and the more experienced crowd… Perhaps the best piece of advice I can provide which will immediately improve one’s photography and cause it to stand out from the countless other photos on the web, is to act unusual while taking the photos. By Ryan Pendleton If you’re standing upright, pointing your camera at obvious subjects, from obvious perspectives, at obvious times the day, the resulting photographs will be nothing more than…obvious. Your photos will not differentiate themselves, as is the intentions of so many photographers. Many of my best photos were taken with at least one (and sometimes several) person staring at me as if I were a closed-head injury patient who happened to find a DSLR lying on the side of the road. Unless an unusual opportunity presents itself, you can assume that a photograph which is easy to obtain has already been taken by numerous other photographers. 1. 2. 3. 4.
