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.

  • The Perceived Credibility of Professional Photojournalism Compared to User-Generated Content Among American News Media Audiences

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This study examines the perceived credibility of professional photojournalism in context to the usage of User-Generated Content (UGC) when compared across digital news and social media platforms, by individual news consumers in the United States employing a Q methodology experiment. The literature review studies source credibility as the theoretical framework through which to begin; however, using an inductive design, the data may indicate additional patterns and themes. Credibility as a news concept has been studied in terms of print media, broadcast and cable television, social media, and inline news, both individually and between genres. Very few studies involve audience perceptions of credibility, and even fewer are concerned with visual images. Using online Q methodology software, this experiment was given to 100 random participants who sorted a total of 40 images labeled with photographer and platform information. The data revealed that audiences do discern the source of the image, in both the platform and the photographer, but also take into consideration the category of news image in their perception of the credibility of an image.

  • The ABC's of Photography
    The ABC’s of Photography Susan Wingfield Lamar High School INTRODUCTION Students today are exposed to photography on a level that has never been experienced before. Cameras of one sort or another are immediately accessible. Students take pictures with cell phones that fit in the palm of their hands and digital cameras that are slightly larger than a credit card. When they are not taking pictures, they are showing pictures to their friends, or looking at their friends‟ pictures. Anyone can take photographs. But, questions arise. First, how do you get students to evaluate their images? And, do they need to? What kind of standards in photography are important and why? How can I teach photography to students and make it relevant and interesting? I don‟t want to turn teaching photography into a sit-and-get experience. In order for my photography curriculum to generate student enthusiasm, I have to create a curriculum unit that my students can relate to. So, my next step is to combine all these questions into a workable idea that students can learn from. I have decided to base the curriculum unit on what I think would be an intuitive student point of view. I begin with what students already know – how to shoot pictures. The format of each part of the unit will be five steps. First, I will ask students to take pictures of something relevant to them. These assignments will be according to subject and will vary. I find that assignments help focus the student. If I say “Go take pictures of whatever you want,” students get lost trying to decide “Of what?” If I give them an assignment, then they can get creative within those boundaries.

  • Creating Compelling Compositions
    Creating Compelling Compositions Lesson 1 Rule of Thirds The Rule of Thirds is a very basic rule but an important one to know and remember as you develop your “eye” for composition. Remember that it’s a starting point to composing really good images. It was meant to be broken like most all rules. But let’s learn it first and then we can have fun breaking the rules later! It is important to learn the rule so that it will be the foundation of your images and how you see things. As you begin to see and use shapes, lines, textures etc. you will begin to use the Rule of Thirds while utilizing other techniques into your image to create outstanding photographs. Think of composition like designing a new home and the Rule of Thirds as your blueprint. The Rule of Thirds grid resembles a Tic-tac-toe board. It calls for points of interest in the scene to be placed either one third of the way from the top or bottom and one third of the way in from either side. The horizon will either be placed one third of the way down from the top or one third up from the bottom of the frame. Although there are some exceptions, be sure to be careful and NOT place your horizon in the center of the frame (see example below). I often ask myself this question “What is more interesting, the top third of my image or the bottom third”. That often will answer the question of where to place the horizon.
