Expert Tips on Photographing Your Pets - Gadgetwise Blog A few days ago a friend (a fan of both good photography and pets) discovered a Web site with particularly interesting and expressive photos of dogs and cats. I checked out the site, Fat Orange Cat Studio, and was mighty impressed with how photographer Li Ward captures that blink-of-the-eye moment. I take lots of photos of my dog and cat but I am always about two seconds behind. So how does she do it? I contacted Ms. Ward and asked her if she would share some tips that everyday photographers could use to snap better shots of their pets. Li Ward.Li Ward What type of lens do you recommend? I have one prime and one zoom. My prime is the 50mm f/1.4. Any other technical recommendations? I shoot in manual mode 99.9 percent of the time. I also almost always shoot in burst mode, usually in slow burst at 2 to 3 frames per second. I do like shooting wide open, but it really depends on the situation and type of shot I’m looking for. What about angles? How do you quickly capture pets? Li Ward Yes.

Thoughts About Photography: Polaroid SX-70 Modification for 600 Film Polaroid 600 film actually fits in an SX-70 camera pretty easily. The problem with using 600 film in the SX-70 is that it is four times more sensitive than SX-70 film. Without modification, all your photos taken with 600 film would be overexposed. To correct this problem, we are going to adjust the camera by two stops. We will use a one stop neutral density filter to cover the lens, and we will remove the neutral density filter that covers the photocell. Supplies: You are going to need a few supplies in order to make this modification to your SX-70 camera. Step 1 The SX-70 camera has a photocell on the front of the camera to the right of the lens. Remove the filter retaining ring (the little chrome ring which surrounds the photocell) by gently pushing the tip of a small knife under the edge and popping out the ring. Next you want to cut a piece of clear plastic to go in place of the neutral density filter. Next, insert the film cartridge. Finally close the camera.
Photojournalism Ethics: Chapter Six Photojournalism has a long and cherished tradition of truthfulness. The impact of the visual image on a viewer comes directly from the belief that the "camera never lies." As a machine, the camera faithfully and unemotionally records a moment in time. But a machine is only as truthful as the hands that guide it. John Szarkowski (1980), director of photography for the Museum of Modem Art in New York, explained that when truthfulness and visual impact are combined in a powerful picture, such an image can shock the public. The faking of photographs, either through stage direction by the photographer or through picture manipulations, also has a long tradition. The media have been criticized for showing so many gruesome images that the public has hardened toward violent injustices. Howard Chapnick (1982) eloquently summed up the dangers to journalism with such manipulations.
