“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time thus far with the Sony A350. The intuitive controls and menus make the camera a strong competitor to other entry-level cameras. The fast focusing Live View and tilting LCD panel, however, sets the A350 apart from the pack.
Bram from SweetBeat shows you how he drew the arrows on this image :
- Open a new document at for example 20×20 cm
- Create a ‘new layer’ by going to LAYER —> NEW LAYER or clicking the ‘new layer’ icon in the layers palette
- Select the pen tool
- Make sure that PATHS is selected,on the top left-end corner of the screen, and draw an arrow like you see on the picture.
The Rule of Thirds :
“The Rule of Thirds gets trotted out more often than any other in all types of photography and is one of the first rules of composition taught to most photography students. While sometimes it can feel a little cliche it can also be a very effective technique in landscapes (although keep in mind that breaking this (and other rules) can also produce dramatic and interesting shots).”
“What you need:
1. A digital camera that allows you to set exposure manually.
2. A sturdy tripod.
3. A subject (i.e., what you’re taking the picture of) that does not move.
4. A computer with Photoshop CS2 or higher installed.”
“Microsoft Pro Photo Tools is a free program that makes geotagging available for all photographers. Microsoft have also released Expression Media 2, a new version of its digital asset management software. The Pro Photo Tools and Expression Media 2 are designed to work together to help photographers better manage their digital image collections with new comprehensive digital asset management functionality including geotagging.”
Ever compose a great landscape shot only to realize that when you expose for the land, the shy becomes a pure white? This is a a common limitation photographers have to deal with when shooting landscapes in sunny conditions. You can either expose for the sky or the land?
“The camera metering system reacts to the amount of light reflected from the scene in the viewfinder and computes the camera settings needed to make a nominally correct exposure. What is adjusted depends on the mode the camera is in:”
“The physical law of light states that “the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence”. The angle of incidence is the angle that light is striking a surface. The angle of reflection is the angle that the light is reflected, or bounced”
“Color management” is a process where the color characteristics for every device in the imaging chain is known precisely and utilized to better predict and control color reproduction. For digital photography, this imaging chain usually starts with the camera and concludes with the final print, and may include a display device in between.”
“Every photographer wants both maximum resolution and maximum depth of field. But unfortunately these two demands can be mutually exclusive. As you stop down the aperture on a lens the light passing through tends to diffract, reducing sharpness, though DOF is increased. The reason for this is that the edges of the diaphragm blades in the lens tend to disperse the light.”
” In this tutorial I will show you how to repair some image noise from a low quality shot and I will show you an extremely quick and easy way to smooth out a person’s face.”
“Light Trails continue to be popular subject matter for many photographers and they can actually be a great training ground for those wanting to get their cameras out of manual mode and to experiment with shooting in low light at longer exposures.”
“The RAW file format is digital photography’s equivalent of a negative in film photography: it contains untouched, “raw” pixel information straight from the digital camera’s sensor. The RAW file format has yet to undergo demosaicing, and so it contains just one red, green, or blue value at each pixel location.
