  • Hardware and Software for Panoramic Photography
    ROVANIEMI UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY Degree Programme in Information Technology Thesis HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE FOR PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHY Julia Benzar 2012 Supervisor: Veikko Keränen Approved _______2012__________ The thesis can be borrowed. School of Technology Abstract of Thesis Degree Programme in Information Technology _____________________________________________________________ Author Julia Benzar Year 2012 Subject of thesis Hardware and Software for Panoramic Photography Number of pages 48 In this thesis, panoramic photography was chosen as the topic of study. The primary goal of the investigation was to understand the phenomenon of pa- noramic photography and the secondary goal was to establish guidelines for its workflow. The aim was to reveal what hardware and what software is re- quired for panoramic photographs. The methodology was to explore the existing material on the topics of hard- ware and software that is implemented for producing panoramic images. La- ter, the best available hardware and different software was chosen to take the images and to test the process of stitching the images together. The ex- periment material was the result of the practical work, such the overall pro- cess and experience, gained from the process, the practical usage of hard- ware and software, as well as the images taken for stitching panorama. The main research material was the final result of stitching panoramas. The main results of the practical project work were conclusion statements of what is the best hardware and software among the options tested. The re- sults of the work can also suggest a workflow for creating panoramic images using the described hardware and software. The choice of hardware and software was limited, so there is place for further experiments.

  • Understanding Image Formats and When to Use Them
    Understanding Image Formats And When to Use Them Are you familiar with the extensions after your images? There are so many image formats that it’s so easy to get confused! File extensions like .jpeg, .bmp, .gif, and more can be seen after an image’s file name. Most of us disregard it, thinking there is no significance regarding these image formats. These are all different and not cross‐ compatible. These image formats have their own pros and cons. They were created for specific, yet different purposes. What’s the difference, and when is each format appropriate to use? Every graphic you see online is an image file. Most everything you see printed on paper, plastic or a t‐shirt came from an image file. These files come in a variety of formats, and each is optimized for a specific use. Using the right type for the right job means your design will come out picture perfect and just how you intended. The wrong format could mean a bad print or a poor web image, a giant download or a missing graphic in an email Most image files fit into one of two general categories—raster files and vector files—and each category has its own specific uses. This breakdown isn’t perfect. For example, certain formats can actually contain elements of both types. But this is a good place to start when thinking about which format to use for your projects. Raster Images Raster images are made up of a set grid of dots called pixels where each pixel is assigned a color.

DAPC SWEPT SNM STATE FAIR COMPETITION By Will Keener Dona Ana Photography Club members swept the table at this year’s Southern New Mexico State Fair Competition. Five club members combined to earn five Best of Show awards and an Award of Merit for Best of Show. These were considered the top six awards made by judges at this year’s contest. Some of the winning entries include cash prizes. At least eight photo club members submitted to the annual contest held at the fairgrounds west of Las Cruces and open to photographers in surrounding counties in New Mexico and Texas. An informal count shows 27 ribbon-winning entries among club members. “All told, 37 photographers entered 130 photos in this year’s competition,” says Greg Groves, owner of Picture Frame Factory Outlet and superintendent of the fair. “The total was down from past years, but the quality of the winning entries was still very high,” he said.

  • An Uphill Struggle: Where There Is a Will There Is a Way Maz Mashru July
    An uphill struggle: Where there is a will there is a way Maz Mashru M.Photog, Cr.Photog(USA), FMPA,FRPS,FBIPP,FSWPP,FBPPA,FMIPP,QEP,ASP July 2016 An uphill struggle: Where there is a will there is a way The Beginning My roots are from India, but I was born in a small town in Uganda, Africa where my father had moved to in search of work in the early 1940’s. My father settled in Uganda, having gone back to marry my mother, in the hope of a better life for his family compared to one he could have provided had he remained in India. My parents had six children with me being the eldest. In our village, education was very basic therefore my parents sent me to a boarding school in the nearby city of Mbale. At the boarding house, I became fascinated with cameras and my passion to own a camera grew. In the boarding house, spending money had to be deposited with the “superintendent”. We were only able to withdraw the equivalent to £1.00 (in the money at that time) per week and as I was becoming more and more eager to own a camera, I made an excuse that I needed a new pair of shoes, so I could withdraw more money. The money allowed to me the purchase my first camera, an Agfa Clack (roll film camera), which cost the equivalent of £3.50 (in the money at the time). At the time, £3.50 was deemed to be a lot of money therefore a camera was perceived as a luxury item.

Im looking at the 3100 as a relatively light weight travel and family shoot camera, but Im spoiled by the auto bracketing on my D200.. I find bracketing a simple and viable way to ensure good exposures w.o. having to resort to UniWB. Of course, a firmware update for the 3100 would be the best solution.. As always, many thanks. Its very annoying the Nikon refuses to provide autobracketing on the D3100 or other such entry level cameras.The only other way I know of is to begins shooting in full manual mode and dial in shutter speed or aperture directly to accomplish your goal.
