  • Completing a Photography Exhibit Data Tag
    Completing a Photography Exhibit Data Tag Current Data Tags are available at: https://unl.box.com/s/1ttnemphrd4szykl5t9xm1ofiezi86js Camera Make & Model: Indicate the brand and model of the camera, such as Google Pixel 2, Nikon Coolpix B500, or Canon EOS Rebel T7. Focus Type: • Fixed Focus means the photographer is not able to adjust the focal point. These cameras tend to have a large depth of field. This might include basic disposable cameras. • Auto Focus means the camera automatically adjusts the optics in the lens to bring the subject into focus. The camera typically selects what to focus on. However, the photographer may also be able to select the focal point using a touch screen for example, but the camera will automatically adjust the lens. This might include digital cameras and mobile device cameras, such as phones and tablets. • Manual Focus allows the photographer to manually adjust and control the lens’ focus by hand, usually by turning the focus ring. Camera Type: Indicate whether the camera is digital or film. (The following Questions are for Unit 2 and 3 exhibitors only.) Did you manually adjust the aperture, shutter speed, or ISO? Indicate whether you adjusted these settings to capture the photo. Note: Regardless of whether or not you adjusted these settings manually, you must still identify the images specific F Stop, Shutter Sped, ISO, and Focal Length settings. “Auto” is not an acceptable answer. Digital cameras automatically record this information for each photo captured. This information, referred to as Metadata, is attached to the image file and goes with it when the image is downloaded to a computer for example.

  • Digital Camera Functions All Photography Is Based on the Same
    Digital Camera Functions All photography is based on the same optical principle of viewing objects with our eyes. In both cases, light is reflected off of an object and passes through a lens, which focuses the light rays, onto the light sensitive retina, in the case of eyesight, or onto film or an image sensor the case of traditional or digital photography. The shutter is a curtain that is placed between the lens and the camera that briefly opens to let light hit the film in conventional photography or the image sensor in digital photography. The shutter speed refers to how long the curtain stays open to let light in. The higher the number, the shorter the time, and consequently, the less light gets in. So, a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second lets in half the amount of light than a speed of 1/30th of a second. For most normal pictures, shutter speeds range from 1/30th of a second to 1/100th of a second. A faster shutter speed, such as 1/500th of a second or 1/1000th of a second, would be used to take a picture of a fast moving object such as a race car; while a slow shutter speed would be used to take pictures in low-light situations, such as when taking pictures of the moon at night. Remember that the longer the shutter stays open, the more chance the image will be blurred because a person cannot usually hold a camera still for very long. A tripod or other support mechanism should almost always be used to stabilize the camera when slow shutter speeds are used.

  • Photographic Equipment Guidelines the Farm Lodge Lake Clark National Park, Alaska
    Photographic Equipment Guidelines The Farm Lodge Lake Clark National Park, Alaska by Jim Barr Professional Nature, Adventure Travel, and Outdoor Sports Photographer President, American Society of Media Photographers, Alaska Chapter Photography Guide, The Farm Lodge, Lake Clark National Park Introduction. Here are some general and specific equipment suggestions for photo tour participants. These start and build from “ground zero”, so just blend this information with the equipment that you already have. Equipment is important, but...the old cliché “cameras don’t take pictures, people do” really is true. So don’t put too much emphasis on the equipment. We’ll help you get the most out of what you have. On the other hand, a bear’s face would need to be within two or three feet of the lens for a frame- filling National Geographic quality close-up with a small point-and-shoot or cell phone camera. Not healthy for the photographer (or the bear), and not too likely to happen. The right tools do help. Keep size, weight, and portability in mind. You’ll be traveling to Port Alsworth on a small plane, and deeper into the bush each day on an even smaller one. Space is limited. We’ll also be doing some walking. Bears will require a mile or so of light hiking each way. On landscape days we may hike further and sometimes over rougher terrain, but you can leave heavy wildlife gear at the lodge or in the airplane. We do have options that limit the walking necessary, but there will always be some.

  • HASSELBLAD INTRODUCES the H6D-400C MS, a 400 MEGA PIXEL
    Press information – for immediate release Gothenburg, Sweden 16 Jan 2018 HASSELBLAD INTRODUCES THE H6D-400c MS, A 400 MEGA PIXEL MULTI-SHOT CAMERA Building on a vast experience of developing exceptional, high-quality single and multi-shot cameras, Hasselblad once again has raised the bar for image quality captured with medium format system. Multi-Shot capture has become an industry standard in the field of art reproduction and cultural heritage for the documentation of paintings, sculptures, and artwork. As the only professional medium format system to feature multi-shot technology, Hasselblad continues to be the leading choice for institutions, organizations, and museums worldwide to record historic treasures in the highest image quality possible. With over 10 years of digital imaging expertise, the latest Multi-Shot digital camera combines the H6D’s unrivalled ease of use with a completely new frontier of image quality and detail. This new camera encompasses all of the technological functions of Hasselblad’s H6D single shot camera, and adds to that the resolution and colour fidelity advancements that only Multi-Shot photography can bring to image capture. With an effective resolution of 400MP via 6 shot image capture, or 100MP resolution in either 4 shot Multi-Shot capture or single shot mode, the Multi-Shot capture requires the sensor and its mount to be moved at a high-precision of 1 or ½ a pixel at a time via a piezo unit. To capture Multi-Shot images the camera must be tethered to a PC or MAC. In 400MP Multi-Shot mode, 6 images are captured, the first 4 involve moving the sensor by one pixel at a time to achieve real colour data (GRGB- see 4 shot diagrams below), this cycle then returns the sensor to its starting point.

Paper prepared in cooperation with the Pacific Northwest Region. Abstract Hall, Frederick C. 2001 Ground-based photographic monitoring. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-503. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 340 p. Land management professionals (foresters, wildlife biologists, range managers, and land managers such as ranchers and forest land owners) often have need to evaluate their management activities. Photographic monitoring is a fast, simple, and effective way to determine if changes made to an area have been successful. Ground-based photo monitoring means using photographs taken at a specific site to monitor conditions or change. It may be divided into two systems: (1) comparison photos, whereby a photograph is used to compare a known condition with field conditions to estimate some parameter of the field condition; and (2) repeat photo- graphs, whereby several pictures are taken of the same tract of ground over time to detect change. Comparison systems deal with fuel loading, herbage utilization, and public reaction to scenery. Repeat photography is discussed in relation to land- scape, remote, and site-specific systems. Critical attributes of repeat photography are (1) maps to find the sampling location and of the photo monitoring layout; (2) documentation of the monitoring system to include purpose, camera and film, w e a t h e r, season, sampling technique, and equipment; and (3) precise replication of photographs.

(Refer to separate factsheets running water. on ISO and aperture for a more detailed definition of these concepts.) In order to achieve proper exposure these three features must be balanced. The shutter speed is the easiest to adjust in order to obtain proper exposure. Exposure In digital photography exposure refers to the amount of light that reaches the image sensor. When too much light is recorded the picture will be washed out — overexposed. When too little light is recorded the image will be dark — underexposed. Figure 1. The inside of a film camera.
