Nowadays, almost everyone can take photos of the night Sky, even very good ones. Night sky photography in general, and MIlky Way photography in particular, have become very popular. You see it every day, social networks are filled up with multiple great Milky Way photos, published by great photographers hoping that their work will be massively shared. Unfortunately, the truth is that just a few achieve to go viral. Why? One possible answer is: inner remarkability. Social transmission expert, Jonah Berger, in his New York Times Bestseller book 'Conta- gious: why things catch on', maintains that: "Remarkable things provide social currency because they make the people who talk about them seem, well, more remarkable [...] Sharing extraordinary, novel, 6 or entertaining stories or ads makes people seem more extraordinary, novel, and entertaining [...] Not surprisingly then, remarkable things get brought up more of- ten." Therefore, how can you make photos so that people will share and talk about? The same inner remarkability principle applies.

  • Long Exposure Photography Lesson 1 (Of 4)
    © Beth Ruggiero-York Long Exposure Photography Lesson 1 (of 4) 1) What is “Long Exposure Photography”? 2) Why use long exposures? 3) General categories of long exposure images a) Motion blur (including obscured moving subjects) b) Night landscapes c) Urban scenes d) Artificial lighting using flashlights, lanterns, strobes, etc. (light painting) 4) The technical stuff: a) Equipment needed b) Camera setup c) Focusing in low-light or at night d) Exposure settings 5) Assignment What is “Long Exposure Photography”? Let’s start with a definition of long exposure photography so that we all have a shared understanding of what it is: Long exposure photography (aka time exposure photography, from the days of film) is the use of slow shutter speeds (aka long exposure times) to capture the fixed elements of the image sharply, while blurring, obscuring, or streaking the moving elements. In this way, long exposure photography allows the photographer to convey the passage of time, something that conventional photography cannot do. If you spend some time thinking about this definition, you will come up with endless applications. That is what this course is about – learning the techniques you need to record long exposures and then finding creative ways to use them. © Beth Ruggiero-York 30 seconds, f/14, ISO 100 Lee “Big Stopper” Neutral Density filter (adds 10 stops) Nikon D810, Nikon 24-120mm f/4 lens @ 38mm This image combines the stationary elements of the foreground rocks (which act as an anchor for the image) and the dock with the moving elements of the water and the sky.

    E-Content (SLM) For Course – Master in Journalism and Mass Communication (MJMC) Department – PG Department of Hindi Darbhanga House, Patna University, Patna Paper – CC7 By: Dr. Gautam Kumar Assistant Professor (Guest Faculty) MJMC, Patna University, Patna Mobile – 9304974687 Email – [email protected] The Basic To take consistently successful photographs, it is important to understand the basic optical principles underlying how a camera works; type of lens; what film speed or digital setting to use in a particular situation; lighting equipment; plus the advantages and drawbacks of different camera formats. The more familiar you are with the controls on your camera, the more you can concentrate on the composition and lighting of each photograph. THE BASIC CAMERA: If you were to strip away the electronic refinements and automatic features of any camera you would find the same basic design underneath – a lightproof container with a hole at one end over which a lens is placed and a holder opposite to accommodate either a strip of light-sensitive film, or a light sensitive electronic chip. To produce a correctly exposed image in a variety of light intensities, the camera lens has an iris diaphragm that can be adjusted to leave a hole of varying diameter. This is called the aperture. On a fixed- lens compact camera, the lens also contains a shutter THE PATH OF LIGHT : The mechanism, known as a between-the-lens shutter, which opens to allow light to reach the film. The shutter allows you to choose the precise moment of exposure, and by selecting from a range of shutter speeds you can also control the length of exposure.

  • TYLER PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES AVAILABLE to NON-MAJORS There Are Currently Four Different Courses Available to Non-Majors
    TYLER PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES AVAILABLE TO NON-MAJORS There are currently four different courses available to non-majors. They are: ART 0822 - Human Behavior and the Photographic Image How do photographs become more than just a pile of disparate images? Is there more to photography than that single "decisive moment" in the hunt and capture of an image? How do photographers comment on issues that are important to them? How can photographs tell a story? Is there a way one can use the art of photography to elicit change? In this class, students will use their digital cameras to investigate individual photographs, as well as series of photographs. We will look at photography in its historical context -- at the advent of documentary photography and photojournalism, and at narrative photography in its more contemporary form, as photographers use it to chronicle their own lives and to tell a story. Through the exercises of looking at and making photographic images, several core concepts of social work, along with theories of human behavior in the social environment, will be introduced. Students will learn not only about the place photography holds in our culture, but our culture itself, and the students' place in that culture. Students will critically analyze published photographs, as well as photographs made during the class. The semester will culminate in a class exhibition where students will be given the opportunity to present their photographs to the public, demonstrating their understanding of human behavior in the social environment. NOTE: This course fulfills the Human Behavior (GB) requirement for students under GenEd and Individual & Society (IN) for students under Core.
