  • 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.

Some of the results are dark, moody, and romantic. The subtitle of your show is Manifestations of the Spirit. Although I cannot view this exhibition, I have seen the checklist of all the works in the exhibition. The only reason that I did not give it the top rating was that I thought it bordered on the hagiographic in several aspects of the description of his life and manner of working.

  • Minor White Manifestations of the Spirit Paul Martineau
    “Self-discovery through a camera? I am scared to look for fear of discovering how shallow my Self is! I will persist however . because the camera has its eye on the exterior world. Camera will lead my constant introspection back into the world. So camerawork will save my life.”—Minor White MINOR WHITE MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SPIRIT PAUL MARTINEAU GETTY PUBLICATIONS JULY 8, 2014 AN EXQUISTELY ILLUSTRATED TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ACCOMPANYING EXHIBITION AND FIRST MINOR WHITE SHOW IN 25 YEARS ON VIEW AT THE J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM IN LOS ANGELES JULY 8 TO OCTOBER 19, 2014 Controversial, eccentric, and sometimes overlooked, Minor White (1908–1976) is one of the great photographers of the twentieth century, whose ideas and philosophies about the medium of photography have exerted a powerful influence on a generation of practitioners and still resonate today. Born and raised in Minneapolis, his photographic career began in 1938 in Portland, Oregon with assignments as a “creative photographer” for the Oregon Art Project, an outgrowth of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). After serving in World War II as a military intelligence officer, White studied art history at Columbia University in New York. It was during this period that White’s focus started to shift toward the metaphorical. He began to create images charged with symbolism and a critical aspect called “equivalency,” which referred to the invisible spiritual energy present in a photograph made visible to the viewer and was inspired by the work of Alfred Stieglitz. White’s belief in the spiritual and metaphysical qualities in photography, and in the camera as a tool for self-discovery, was crucial to his oeuvre.

  • 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.

  • Backlighting
    Challenge #1 - Capture Light Bokeh Have you seen those beautiful little circles of colour and light in the background of photos? It’s called Bokeh and it comes from the Japanese word “boke” meaning blur. It’s so pretty and not only does it make a gorgeous backdrop for portraits, but it can be the subject in it’s own right too! It’s also one of the most fun aspects of learning photography, being able to capture your own lovely bokeh! And that’s what our first challenge is all about, Capturing Light Bokeh! And remember - just as I said in this video, the purpose of these challenges is NOT to take perfect photos the first time you try something new… it’s about looking for light, trying new techniques, and exploring your creativity to help you build your skills and motivate and inspire you. So lets have fun & I can’t wait to see your photos! Copyright 2017 - www.clicklovegrow.com How to Achieve Light Bokeh Light Bokeh is created when light reflects off, or through, a background; and is then captured with a wide open aperture of your lens. As light reflects differently off flat surfaces, you’re not likely to see this effect when using a plain wall, for example. Instead, you’ll see it when your background has a little texture, such as light reflecting off leaves in foliage of a garden, or wet grass… or when light is broken up when streaming through trees. Looking for Light One of the key take-aways for this challenge is to start paying attention to light & how you can capture it in photos… both to add interest and feeling to your portraits, but as a creative subject in it’s own right.

The controversial artist’s creation of this painting has been recounted in dozens of books and dramatized in the Oscar-winning film Pollock. Rumors—such as it was painted in one alcohol-fueled night and at first didn’t fit the intended space —abound. But never in doubt was that the creation of the Mobile App painting was pivotal, not only for Pollock but for the Abstract Expressionists who would follow his radical conception of art —“no limits, just edges.” Sound of One Hand, The J.

  • To Photographing the Planets, Stars, Nebulae, & Galaxies
    Astrophotography Primer Your FREE Guide to photographing the planets, stars, nebulae, & galaxies. eeBook.inddBook.indd 1 33/30/11/30/11 33:01:01 PPMM Astrophotography Primer Akira Fujii Everyone loves to look at pictures of the universe beyond our planet — Astronomy Picture of the Day (apod.nasa.gov) is one of the most popular websites ever. And many people have probably wondered what it would take to capture photos like that with their own cameras. The good news is that astrophotography can be incredibly easy and inexpensive. Even point-and- shoot cameras and cell phones can capture breathtaking skyscapes, as long as you pick appropriate subjects. On the other hand, astrophotography can also be incredibly demanding. Close-ups of tiny, faint nebulae, and galaxies require expensive equipment and lots of time, patience, and skill. Between those extremes, there’s a huge amount that you can do with a digital SLR or a simple webcam. The key to astrophotography is to have realistic expectations, and to pick subjects that are appropriate to your equipment — and vice versa. To help you do that, we’ve collected four articles from the 2010 issue of SkyWatch, Sky & Telescope’s annual magazine. Every issue of SkyWatch includes a how-to guide to astrophotography and visual observing as well as a summary of the year’s best astronomical events. You can order the latest issue at SkyandTelescope.com/skywatch. In the last analysis, astrophotography is an art form. It requires the same skills as regular photography: visualization, planning, framing, experimentation, and a bit of luck.
