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.

  • Evolution Change the Concept of Focal Length?
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography AARGnews 34 (March 2007) Did the digital (r)evolution change the concept of focal length? Geert Verhoeven Introduction The advent of digital photography opened a completely new world for a lot of people. Just look around: there has never been a moment in photography’s long history that so many people actually had and used a photo camera. However, along with new technology always come misconceptions. One of these often heard and read delusions is the fact that “the focal length of lenses changes when used on a digital camera”, leading to strongly magnified images as indicated by a so-called digital magnification factor . The purpose of this article is to prove the above statement (and term digital magnification factor) to be incorrect by outlining the concepts of focal length and image sensor size as well as their combined effect on field of view. Size matters * Film formats Although aerial photographers use(d) a variety of photographic film formats, this article will compare the 135 format to its digital equivalent, in order not to end up comparing apples to oranges. Launched in 1934, this format had the highest sales worldwide. Hence, a lot of people are not even aware of the fact that smaller as well as larger film formats exist. On one end of the range, one finds smaller film formats as the 110 or sub-miniature format (introduced by Kodak in 1972 and 16 mm wide) as well as the rather recently (1996) launched APS (Advanced Photo System ) format, characterized by a 24 mm wide film.

    MA5U01A01 – Rev. Sep, 2019 Inquiry Question Can you make an educated decision on which camera will suit your needs as a photographer? Name: ___________________________ Date: ____________ General Instructions For this project, imagine that you are in need of a new camera. Your friend has suggested that you choose one of the three options below. It’s now up to you to make the final decision. You are in fact, the one who knows your camera needs best! In order to make an educated choice, look through the information below, and engage in some research of your own. Remember, everyone has their own preference and needs when it comes to cameras. There is no wrong answer here, however you must justify why you made the choice that you did. Make sure you use specific information and examples when explaining the reasoning behind your camera choice. 1 MA5U01A01 – Rev. Sep, 2019 When shopping for a camera, it is important to know your needs as a photographer. Here are some questions you might want to consider when evaluating your options: What do you plan on using the camera for? How often do you use it? What type of photography do you like to shoot? Do you have other cameras at home or is this your first one? Is there a certain brand you prefer? It’s important to note that with electronics, a higher price does not always mean a better choice. Inspect your option carefully, using a critical lens.

  • APS-C Versus Full Frame When Choosing a Digital SLR Or a Lens to Go with It, It Helps to Understand the Difference Between APS-C and Full-Frame Cameras
    APS-C versus full frame When choosing a digital SLR or a lens to go with it, it helps to understand the difference between APS-C and full-frame cameras. Here are the differences, and what they mean for your photography. Macro photography, like this picture of a Preying Mantis, is one of the areas in which the size of the sensor makes a difference. Digital SLR cameras have a sensor, which is the thing that takes the place of the film. The size of that sensor makes a big difference to how the camera behaves. Back in the days when everyone used film, people often talked about using 35mm film in their SLR cameras. Now, when people refer to a full-frame digital camera, they’re talking about a camera with a sensor about the same size as a single full frame of 35mm film. APS-C APS-C stands for Advanced Photo System type-C. Aren’t you glad you know that now? Okay then, here’s what it means. APS was a format of camera film that allowed a choice of three different formats. The ‘C’ added onto the end referred to what was called the ‘Classic’ option for using that type of film. An APS-C sensor cuts off some of the edges of a scene, compared with a full-frame sensor How it relates to digital An APS-C sensor is smaller than a full-frame sensor. That means the edges of the image recorded by a full frame camera are cut off (cropped) by the APS-C sensor.
