  • A Quick Guide to HDR Photography
    A quick guide to HDR photography PUBLISHED - 15 AUG 2017 Make sure that what your eye sees is what your camera captures, by using HDR in contrasty light situations. HDR – high dynamic range – imaging enables your camera to create an image that captures all the range of contrast in a scene, from the depths of the shadows to the highlights of the brightest areas. This is essentially how your eyes see, but it's a tall order for a camera to record the furthest ends of such a drastic range – if you meter for the highlights (the bright areas), you might lose detail in the shadow areas of the scene, while the other way round you risk 'blown-out' highlights. A common example is a well-exposed room interior flooded with light from the windows. If you expose to capture what's outside those windows, the room's details will be lost in shadow. Another is when shooting outdoors: the sunlight that creates bright highlights will also create dark shadows, but expose for one and you'll lose detail in the other. When you make an HDR image, on the other hand, what you see is what you're going to get, because you create it with a series of bracketed exposures to capture both the highlights and the shadow detail. 1 of 3 © NIKON SCHOOL Built-in HDR Some Nikon DSLRs have a built-in HDR mode that does it for you. Available when shooting JPEG only, it automatically takes two quick shots – the first slightly underexposed (darker) and the second exposure slightly overexposed (brighter) – then combines them in-camera to create one well-balanced, tonally wide-ranging image.

  • Minoru Photo Club the Art of Panning (By Natalie Norton ) What Is
    Minoru Photo Club July 24, 2018 There are different ways of creating a sense of movement in photography. From John Hedgecoe’s Photography Basics, he listed four ways – Slow Shutter, panning, diagonal movement and zoom movement. For today, I will share with you what I have researched on the art of panning using a slow shutter speed. There are many unwritten rules in photography. Keeping your camera steady is one of them. Well, for this artistic technique, you will need to forget all you have learned about the importance of shooting with a rock-solid camera. The creative result will be many cool motion-blur images The Art Of Panning (by Natalie Norton) What is Panning? Panning is one of many artistic techniques for more creative photographs. It is the horizontal movement of a camera, deliberately moving or panning the camera, as it scans a moving subject. It is the swinging of the camera - steadily to follow a passing subject, (can keep a moving image in one place on the film). Panning is another effective way of instilling a sense of motion in a picture with a moving subject. The result is a fairly sharp subject set against a blurred and streaked background. This gives the shot a real feeling of motion, speed and action. SOME TIPS & GUIDELINES: Subject/What should I Photograph? – since you want to create a sense of motion, your obvious subject choices include cars, racing cars, joggers, cyclists, etc.. But do try this technique when capturing pets, horses, people running or even someone on a swing.

  • 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.

  • Introduction to Metering on a DSLR
    Getting more from your Camera Topic 4 - Introduction to Metering on a DSLR Learning Outcomes In this lesson, we will look at another important feature on a DSLR camera called “Metering Mode”. By the end of this lesson, you will have a better idea of the role that metering plays when thinking about exposure in your photography. Page | 1 Introduction to Metering on a DSLR Introduction to Metering “Metering Mode” may also be called “Camera Metering”, “Exposure Metering” or even “Metering”. One of the things that might have already frustrated you is a scenario in which some photographs come out too bright or, in some cases, too dark. By understanding the metering modes, you will be better equipped to tackle this. Let us first talk about what metering is, before moving on to see how it works and how you can use your understanding of it, to enhance your photography. 1) What is Metering? Metering, in its simplest meaning, is basically how your camera determines what the correct shutter speed and aperture should be, depending on the amount of light that goes into the camera and the sensitivity of the sensor. In the age of digital technology, we are fortunate enough that every DSLR camera is built with an integrated light meter. This device is clever in that it automatically measures the reflected light and determines the optimal exposure. It’s important to look at the most common metering modes that are found in digital cameras today: 1. Matrix Metering (Nikon), also known as Evaluative Metering (Canon) 2. Center-weighted Metering 3.

  • Slow Motion Video
    Slow Motion Video MediaTek Technology White Paper May 2015 Slow Motion Video Introducing Slow Motion Video MediaTek’s Slow Motion Video technology allows the device user to easily capture, replay, and share a fast moving object any time. Slow Motion Video can record video at a high frame rate such as 120fps, 180fps or higher, playback in slower speed such as 1/2x,1/4x, and 1/16x. And, the user can easily share this slow motion video. High frame rate recording allow users to capture more details and wonderful moments for a fast moving object. Compared with normal camera recording, which only can capture 24fps – 30fps, high frame-rate recording can capture as much as 120,180fps, which allows for more fluent recording. Mediatek provides a whole solution for high frame-rate recording, so that business partners can easily combine their high frame rate camera sensors with Mediatek ICs to provide many new wonderful features. Now VGA@120fps for MT6752, HD@180fps for MT6595 and MT6795 are supported, and higher, such as HD@240fps, will be available on later MediaTek octa-core ICs. Slow Motion Video playback allows user to slow down the playback speed so as to enjoy a fully playback experience. Playing the high frame rate recorded video will bring much more fluent watching experience. But as we all know, the human video processing capability is limited, so humans cannot capture details of a fast moving object if replayed in 1x speed. By using the slow motion playback, the user can not only distinguish each amazing moment but also can enjoy interesting viewing experience.

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.
