I’ve largely focussed Landscape Photography - upon three elements of the ‘exposure triangle‘ – ISO, Shutter Speed and Shooting the Same Aperture. I’ve previously written about the first two and today would like to Location Through the turn our attention to Aperture. Seasons Before I start with the explanations let me say this. If you can master aperture you put into your grasp real creative control over your camera. In my opinion – aperture is where a lot of the magic happens in photography and as we’ll see below, changes in it can mean the difference between one dimensional and multi dimensional shots. What is Aperture? Put most simply – Aperture is ‘the opening in the lens.’ Cameras & Equipment When you hit the shutter release button of your camera a hole opens up that Sirui T-004X Aluminum allows your cameras image sensor to catch a glimpse of the scene you’re Tripod Review wanting to capture. The aperture that you set impacts the size of that hole. The larger the hole the more light that gets in – the smaller the hole the less light. Aperture is measured in ‘f-stops’. http://digital-photography-school.com/aperture/ 1/15 9/7/2015 Introduction to Aperture - Digital Photography School Writer's Favourite Lens – Nikon 24-70 mm F2.8 Why Every Photographer Should Use a Manual Focus Lens Custom SLR Dual Camera Strap - Product Review You’ll often see them referred to here at Digital Photography School as f/number – for example f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6,f/8,f/22 etc. Moving from one f-stop to the next doubles or halves the size of the amount of opening in your lens (and the amount of light getting through). Keep in mind that a change in shutter speed from one stop to the next doubles or halves the amount of light that gets in also – this means if you increase one and decrease the other you let the same amount of light in – very handy to keep in mind). Post Production One thing that causes a lot of new photographers confusion is that large apertures (where lots of light gets through) are given f/stop smaller numbers How to Process a and smaller apertures (where less light gets through) have larger f-stop Landscape Photo in 5 numbers. So f/2.8 is in fact a much larger aperture than f/22. It seems the Minutes Using Photoshop wrong way around when you first hear it but you’ll get the hang of it.

Depth of Field and Aperture Aperture Shutter speed There are a number of results of changing the aperture of your shots that you’ll want to keep in mind as you consider your setting but the most noticeable one ISO will be the depth of field that your shot will have. The exposure triangle Focus modes Depth of Field (DOF) is that amount of your shot that will be in focus. Large depth of field means that most of your image will be in focus whether it’s close Lenses and optics to your camera or far away. For example the landscape shot above has an Light aperture of f/16 and the result is that both the mountain in the background and Using flash (on camera of off- the boats in the foreground remain in focus. camera) Small (or shallow) depth of field means that only part of the image will be in Post-processing and workflow focus and the rest will be fuzzy (like in the portrait at the top of this post.

Baby Bokeh by Henington on 500px Here’s one more example with an even wider aperture of f1.2 that leaves the guitar in focus but everything else blurred. Velvet Crush by Jake Olson Studios on 500px Aperture has a big impact upon depth of field. Large aperture (remember it’s a smaller number) will decrease depth of field while small aperture (larger numbers) will give you larger depth of field. It can be a little confusing at first but the way I remember it is that small numbers mean small DOF and large numbers mean large DOF. Let me illustrate this with two pictures I took earlier this week in my garden of two flowers. http://digital-photography-school.com/aperture/ 3/15 9/7/2015 Introduction to Aperture - Digital Photography School The first picture on the left was taken with an aperture of f/22 and the second one was taken with an aperture of f/2.8. The difference is quite obvious. The f/22 picture has both the flower and the bud in focus and you’re able to make out the shape of the fence and leaves in the background. The f/2.8 shot on the right has the left flower in focus (or parts of it) but the depth of field is very shallow and the background is thrown out of focus and the bud to the right of the flower is also less in focus due to it being slightly further away from the camera when the shot was taken. The best way to get your head around aperture is to get your camera out and do some experimenting. Go outside and find a spot where you’ve got items close to you as well as far away and take a series of shots with different aperture settings from the smallest setting to the largest. You’ll quickly see the impact that it can have and the usefulness of being able to control aperture. Some styles of photography require large depths of eld (and small Apertures) For example in most landscape photography you’ll see small aperture settings (large numbers) selected by photographers. This ensures that from the foreground to the horizon is relatively in focus. On the other hand in portrait photography it can be very handy to have your subject perfectly in focus but to have a nice blurry background in order to ensure that your subject is the main focal point and that other elements in the shot are not distracting. In this case you’d choose a large aperture (small number) to ensure a shallow depth of field. Macro photographers tend to be big users of large apertures to ensure that the element of their subject that they are focusing in on totally captures the attention of the viewer of their images while the rest of the image is completely thrown out of focus.

  • Depth-Aware Blending of Smoothed Images for Bokeh Effect Generation
    1 Depth-aware Blending of Smoothed Images for Bokeh Effect Generation Saikat Duttaa,∗∗ aIndian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, PIN-600036, India ABSTRACT Bokeh effect is used in photography to capture images where the closer objects look sharp and every- thing else stays out-of-focus. Bokeh photos are generally captured using Single Lens Reflex cameras using shallow depth-of-field. Most of the modern smartphones can take bokeh images by leveraging dual rear cameras or a good auto-focus hardware. However, for smartphones with single-rear camera without a good auto-focus hardware, we have to rely on software to generate bokeh images. This kind of system is also useful to generate bokeh effect in already captured images. In this paper, an end-to-end deep learning framework is proposed to generate high-quality bokeh effect from images. The original image and different versions of smoothed images are blended to generate Bokeh effect with the help of a monocular depth estimation network. The proposed approach is compared against a saliency detection based baseline and a number of approaches proposed in AIM 2019 Challenge on Bokeh Effect Synthesis. Extensive experiments are shown in order to understand different parts of the proposed algorithm. The network is lightweight and can process an HD image in 0.03 seconds. This approach ranked second in AIM 2019 Bokeh effect challenge-Perceptual Track. 1. Introduction tant problem in Computer Vision and has gained attention re- cently.

  • Depth of Field PDF Only
    Depth of Field for Digital Images Robin D. Myers Better Light, Inc. In the days before digital images, before the advent of roll film, photography was accomplished with photosensitive emulsions spread on glass plates. After processing and drying the glass negative, it was contact printed onto photosensitive paper to produce the final print. The size of the final print was the same size as the negative. During this period some of the foundational work into the science of photography was performed. One of the concepts developed was the circle of confusion. Contact prints are usually small enough that they are normally viewed at a distance of approximately 250 millimeters (about 10 inches). At this distance the human eye can resolve a detail that occupies an angle of about 1 arc minute. The eye cannot see a difference between a blurred circle and a sharp edged circle that just fills this small angle at this viewing distance. The diameter of this circle is called the circle of confusion. Converting the diameter of this circle into a size measurement, we get about 0.1 millimeters. If we assume a standard print size of 8 by 10 inches (about 200 mm by 250 mm) and divide this by the circle of confusion then an 8x10 print would represent about 2000x2500 smallest discernible points. If these points are equated to their equivalence in digital pixels, then the resolution of a 8x10 print would be about 2000x2500 pixels or about 250 pixels per inch (100 pixels per centimeter). The circle of confusion used for 4x5 film has traditionally been that of a contact print viewed at the standard 250 mm viewing distance.

  • Using Depth Mapping to Realize Bokeh Effect with a Single Camera Android Device EE368 Project Report Authors (SCPD Students): Jie Gong, Ran Liu, Pradeep Vukkadala
    Using Depth Mapping to realize Bokeh effect with a single camera Android device EE368 Project Report Authors (SCPD students): Jie Gong, Ran Liu, Pradeep Vukkadala Abstract- In this paper we seek to produce a bokeh Bokeh effect is usually achieved in high end SLR effect with a single image taken from an Android device cameras using portrait lenses that are relatively large in size by post processing. Depth mapping is the core of Bokeh and have a shallow depth of field. It is extremely difficult effect production. A depth map is an estimate of depth to achieve the same effect (physically) in smart phones at each pixel in the photo which can be used to identify which have miniaturized camera lenses and sensors. portions of the image that are far away and belong to However, the latest iPhone 7 has a portrait mode which can the background and therefore apply a digital blur to the produce Bokeh effect thanks to the dual cameras background. We present algorithms to determine the configuration. To compete with iPhone 7, Google recently defocus map from a single input image. We obtain a also announced that the latest Google Pixel Phone can take sparse defocus map by calculating the ratio of gradients photos with Bokeh effect, which would be achieved by from original image and reblured image. Then, full taking 2 photos at different depths to camera and defocus map is obtained by propagating values from combining then via software. There is a gap that neither of edges to entire image by using nearest neighbor method two biggest players can achieve Bokeh effect only using a and matting Laplacian.

  • Samyang T-S 24Mm F/3.5 ED AS
    GEAR GEAR ON TEST: Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC As the appeal of tilt-shift lenses continues to broaden, Samyang has unveiled a 24mm perspective-control optic in a range of popular fittings – and at a price that’s considerably lower than rivals from Nikon and Canon WORDS TERRY HOPE raditionally, tilt-shift lenses have been seen as specialist products, aimed at architectural T photographers wanting to correct converging verticals and product photographers seeking to maximise depth-of-field. The high price of such lenses reflects the low numbers sold, as well as the precision nature of their design and construction. But despite this, the tilt-shift lens seems to be undergoing something of a resurgence in popularity. This increasing appeal isn’t because photographers are shooting more architecture or box shots. It’s more down to the popularity of miniaturisation effects in landscapes, where such a tiny part of the frame is in focus that it appears as though you are looking at a scale model, rather than the real thing. It’s an effect that many hobbyist DSLRs, CSCs and compacts can generate digitally, and it’s straightforward to create in Photoshop too, but these digital recreations are just approximations. To get the real thing you’ll need to shoot with a tilt-shift lens. Up until now that would cost you over £1500, and when you consider the number of assignments you might shoot in a year using a tilt-shift lens, that’s not great value for money. Things are set to change, though, because there’s The optical quality of the lens is very good, and is a new kid on the block in the shape of the Samyang T-S testament to the reputation that Samyang is rapidly 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC, which has a street price of less gaining in the optics market.

Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[6] However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[2] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the Coarse bokeh on a photo shot with an 85 mm lens and 70 mm entrance pupil diameter, which depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow corresponds to f/1.2 focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions. Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas.[2] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.
