Pentax K Rugged and great value — an impressive alternative to the big two. Nikon D Need a little more power? Traditionally, DSLRs have offered the best in terms of image quality, because they have had the largest image sensors.

The Nikon D is a midrange camera, which is geared toward those who know their way around a DSLR but may not be a seasoned photographer. All that said, it still punches above its price point. Part of the reason for this is perhaps the inclusion of RAW image capture, meaning more room to experiment with your files when back at your computer with Lightroom.

  • The Musk Duck Photography Special
    The Musk Duck Photography Special Compiled by Ian Ashton November 2020 Chaffinch 1977 UK England, Mamiya SLR and 135mm prime lens with extension tubes. Ian Ashton Here we are in November 2020 and most of Birdlife Ballarat’s planned syllabus meetings and outings have been cancelled including this year’s photography competition due to the Pandemic. I was to give a talk back in June, it was titled, ‘How times have changed’, an old-fashioned slide show. So, in place of that and to acknowledge that some of our members are not just bird watchers, this Musk Duck photography special was conceived. Birdlife Ballarat does not have a dedicated photography group, but many members do own cameras. It may be that in these uncertain times some members have contemplated buying a camera or upgrading their equipment or their knowledge. I thought it would be good to share some ideas and techniques. Left, my very first SLR was a Mamiya 500 like this one. The 500 related to the shutter speed, 1,500th of a second. My present camera can take photos at 1,4000th Of a second. Times and technology have changed. MD Photo Special Birdwatching and bird photography do not always sit well together, but of course most birdwatchers enjoy seeing photographs of birds. At one end we have the birdwatcher and at the other end the photographer and between these two ends there are as many combinations of the two as you can imagine. The best bird photographers know their subject and can have immense amounts of knowledge and patience to achieve the outcome they are aiming for.

  • A Review of Oculoplastic Photography: a Guide for Clinician Photographers
    Open Access Review Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.733 A Review Of Oculoplastic Photography: A Guide For Clinician Photographers Chin T. Ong 1 , Jun Fai Yap 2 , Yong Zheng Wai 2 , Qi Xiong Ng 2 1. Ophthalmology, Beacon International Specialist Hospital 2. Ophthalmology, University of Malaya Corresponding author: Chin T. Ong, [email protected] Abstract Clinical photography in the field of oculoplastic surgery has many applications. It is possible for clinicians to obtain standardized clinical photographs without a studio. A clinician photographer has the advantage of knowing exactly what to photograph as well as having immediate access to the images. In order to maintain standardization in the photographs, the photographic settings should remain constant. This article covers essential photographic equipment, camera settings, patient pose, and digital asset management. Categories: Medical Education, Ophthalmology Keywords: clinical photography, standardization, oculoplastic surgery Introduction And Background Clinical photographs are useful for clinical records, research, audit, education, and in supporting medico- legal cases [1-3]. Standardized clinical photographs are often taken by medical photographers using professional grade photographic equipment in dedicated studios. However, it is possible for clinicians to obtain high quality clinical photographs using simpler photographic equipment outside a studio [4]. There are many benefits if a clinician takes patient photographs. The clinician photographer knows without instructions exactly which area of the body to photograph. The photographic session can take place during the patient consultation with no further delays for the patient [1]. The images are instantly available to the clinician and can be shown to the patient during the consultation process. Standardization The most important concept in oculoplastic photography is standardization [1, 4-5].

  • How Digital Cameras Capture Light
    1 Open Your Shutters How Digital Cameras Capture Light Avery Cirincione­Lynch Eighth Grade Project Paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter School June 2014 2 Cover image courtesy of tumblr.com How Can I Develop This: Introduction Imagine you are walking into a dark room; at first you can't see anything, but as your pupils begin to dilate, you can start to see the details and colors of the room. Now imagine you are holding a film camera in a field of flowers on a sunny day; you focus on a beautiful flower and snap a picture. Once you develop it, it comes out just how you wanted it to so you hang it on your wall. Lastly, imagine you are standing over that same flower, but, this time after snapping the photograph, instead of having to developing it, you can just download it to a computer and print it out. All three of these scenarios are examples of capturing light. Our eyes use an optic nerve in the back of the eye that converts the image it senses into a set of electric signals and transmits it to the brain (Wikipedia, Eye). Film cameras use film; once the image is projected through the lens and on to the film, a chemical reaction occurs recording the light. Digital cameras use electronic sensors in the back of the camera to capture the light. Currently, there are two main types of sensors used for digital photography: the charge­coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal­oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors. Both of these methods convert the intensity of the light at each pixel into binary form, so the picture can be displayed and saved as a digital file (Wikipedia, Image Sensor).

However the bridge camera was introduced two decades earlier for 35mm film. It joined the Kodak Disk and the APS formats of that period as a near disaster. It did not sell. At the next meeting I will bring one of these and a mess of accessories—it was supposed to become a “system” camera. If you have one, bring it along for show and tell. THE COLLECTOR Minolta Cameras Part Two. APS format cameras Minolta also invested heavily in APS (Advanced Photo System) film-format cameras, most notably with the Vectis line of SLR cameras beginning in 1996. APS later proved to be a technological dead end, as the cameras did not sell as hoped. Digital photography was entering the marketplace, and Minolta eventually discontinued all APS camera production.

  • 1 Depth of Field / Aperture Depth of Field Refers to the Range of Distance
    Depth of Field / Aperture Depth of field refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp. It varies depending on camera type, aperture and focusing distance. On DSLR cameras and some more advanced point and shoot camera you can have full control over the aperture. While the shutter speed controls the duration of light hitting the sensor the aperture controls the amount of light hitting the sensor. The aperture is the part of a lens that dictates how much light is let through to the sensor – if it’s wide open, lots of light gets through. If it’s closed down, not much light gets through. In essence, it performs the same as the pupil of an eye. If you are in a dark room, the pupil is open; sunlight, the pupil is small. Depth of Field always extends 1/3 in front of and 2/3s behind the point of focus. No matter whether the DOF is deep or shallow, it always follows this formula. This fact becomes more valuable when you do macro photography. Depth of Field decreases as the distance between the subject and film plane decreases. You have VERY little DOF to work with when doing macro photography and are focused just a couple of centimeters away, but you have extreme DOF when focused at a point near infinity. 1 Different lenses can have different apertures – for example, a cheaper lens may only open to f4.0, not letting in as much light as a more expensive lens that will open to f1.6 or more.
