Did your inner self nudge you with that ‘It’s gonna be a lousy FLASH shot!’ question? Do you take more flash shots of the same thing than you really need just because the uncertainties of ‘Flash Photography’ scare you? I might scare you but your flash can be tamed. Flash units provide portable light for your low-light photography. That’s low-LIGHT. You put batteries in and get bright light out. Ah, but how much light do you get out and how can you be sure it’s the correct amount of light? Read your Instruction Manual? That’s a start; but not a finish. In most situations you can set your flash to one setting and just leave it there. And as most people find themselves taking the same general types of pictures each time they grab the camera, you will find yourself actually ‘remembering’ your flash settings without even considering the consequences. It’ll come naturally to you. So, now that we’ve broken the ice let’s get through the hard part that you’ll probably never need to know; ‘Guide Numbers’! A flash unit’s Guide Number, or GN, is it’s rating of maximum light output at full power with fresh batteries. The higher the GN the brighter the light.

  • A Simple and Efficient Image Stabilization Method for Coastal Monitoring Video Systems
    remote sensing Article A Simple and Efficient Image Stabilization Method for Coastal Monitoring Video Systems Isaac Rodriguez-Padilla 1,* , Bruno Castelle 1 , Vincent Marieu 1 and Denis Morichon 2 1 CNRS, UMR 5805 EPOC, Université de Bordeaux, 33615 Pessac, France; [email protected] (B.C.); [email protected] (V.M.) 2 SIAME-E2S, Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour, 64600 Anglet, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 November 2019; Accepted: 21 December 2019; Published: 24 December 2019 Abstract: Fixed video camera systems are consistently prone to importune motions over time due to either thermal effects or mechanical factors. Even subtle displacements are mostly overlooked or ignored, although they can lead to large geo-rectification errors. This paper describes a simple and efficient method to stabilize an either continuous or sub-sampled image sequence based on feature matching and sub-pixel cross-correlation techniques. The method requires the presence and identification of different land-sub-image regions containing static recognizable features, such as corners or salient points, referred to as keypoints. A Canny edge detector (CED) is used to locate and extract the boundaries of the features. Keypoints are matched against themselves after computing their two-dimensional displacement with respect to a reference frame. Pairs of keypoints are subsequently used as control points to fit a geometric transformation in order to align the whole frame with the reference image. The stabilization method is applied to five years of daily images collected from a three-camera permanent video system located at Anglet Beach in southwestern France.

This article began as a fascinating lecture at NAB 2010. Photo by Mark Forman. Introduction Lens and camera shake is a significant cause of blurred images. These disturbances can come as jolts when a camera is handheld or shoulder mounted, from vibrations when tripod-mounted on an unstable platform or in windblown environments, or as higher vibration frequencies when operating from vehicles, boats, and aircraft. A variety of technologies have been applied in the quest for real-time compensation of image unsteadiness. 1. Mechanical: where the lens-camera system is mounted within a gyro-stabilized housing.

  • A Map of the Canon EOS 6D
    CHAPTER 1 A Map of the Canon EOS 6D f you’ve used the Canon EOS 6D, you know it delivers high-resolution images and Iprovides snappy performance. Equally important, the camera offers a full comple- ment of automated, semiautomatic, and manual creative controls. You also probably know that the 6D is the smallest and lightest full-frame dSLR available (at this writing), yet it still provides ample stability in your hands when you’re shooting. Controls on the back of the camera are streamlined, clearly labeled, and within easy reach during shooting. The exterior belies the power under the hood: the 6D includes Canon’s robust autofocus and metering systems and the very fast DIGIC 5+ image processor. There’s a lot that is new on the 6D, but its intuitive design makes it easy for both nov- ice and experienced Canon shooters to jump right in. This chapter provides a roadmap to using the camera controls and the camera menus. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL This chapter is designed to take you under the hood and help fi nd your way around the Canon EOS 6D quickly and easily.

  • Guide Number Enforcement
    APPLICATION NOTE #3 PHOTO TRAFFIC GUIDE NUMBER ENFORCEMENT How to know if an illumination device will be able to illuminate the scene you want to capture? When an illuminator is used to illuminate a scene for image capture, the amount of light reaching the scene depends on multiple factors including: - the intensity of the beam of light coming out of the illuminator: the more intense, the farther reaching, - the distance from the illuminator to the scene. Thus, it is important to quantify the beam intensity. For continuous light, with a video camera, the lux value is important to figure out if a scene is correctly illuminated to expose an image. With a still camera, this translates into an Exposure Value. HOW MUCH LIGHT IS HOW INTENSE IS HOW MUCH LIGHT IS COMING OUT OF THE LAMP? THE LIGHT EMITTED IN ONE ACTUALLY REACHING PARTICULAR DIRECTION? THE DISTANT TARGET? The luminous intensity is the quantity The illuminance is a measure of the luminous flux emitted in a given The luminous flux is a measure of the concentration of luminous direction per solid angle (in steradian). of the overall flow of light flux falling upon a surface. The addition of an optical system emitted by a source. The illuminance will decrease when (reflector, lens…) can increase the surface is farther from the source. the figure dramatically.

  • Understanding Guide Numbers
    Understanding Guide Numbers You may have heard of guide numbers and wonder just what they mean. They are as they say a guide to aid you in establishing the proper exposure based on flashes output ability. And they will help you determine a proper flash exposure, but like anything they are not absolute and may be fudged some for even more precision in flash exposure. Every flash comes with a guide number assigned by the manufacturer. My Canon 580EXII has one and it is 190. The Canon 430EX is 141 while the Nikon SB900 guide number 157. Your flashes manual will tell you what the GN is for your unit and it changes based on the focal length of your lens and ISO. The 580EX II has a GN of 190 at ISO 100 and using a 105mm lens while the SB900 has a GN of 157 at ISO 100 and with a 105mm lens. These designations are arbitrary and change based on ISO and lens used. So they really are only a guide. For example, at ISO 100 and subject-to-camera distance of 10’, the SB900 GN is 88 with a 24mm lens. For 50mm lens it is 130. At ISO 200 the GN with a 50mm lens becomes 157. As you can see, the lens focal length changes the GN as does ISO. To use a guide number to establish proper flash exposure the math is simple: F=GN/D F-Stop equals the Guide Number divided by Distance (Flash to Subject) in feet. Or, D=GN/F Distance (Flash to Subject) equals the Guide Number divided by the F-Stop In feet.
