Easily four strokes that card machine can also shoot the same effect of SLR

Exposure compensation

Exposure is not allowed to use the card machine people often mistake with SLR people are often guilty . The reason is that too much exposure are not allowed to believe that the camera's exposure. Carry the camera itself is a reflective light meter light meter , it can not measure light reflected from an object can only measure light. When faced with a large area of the screen appears black or white , the meter must be wrong.

At this time , it is necessary exposure compensation. When the screen appears in large white , such as a white wall or snow , it is necessary to increase exposure when the sun is in the shadow of the face should also remember to increase exposure . When a large area of ​​the screen in black or light , we must remember to reduce exposure. Specific compensation through the display shows how much can be judged .

Do not believe the display

Since the card machine display pixel problem , showing the works and the actual difference between the larger picture , so it is best to select photos on the computer . Many card machine 's display brightness will vary with the intensity of light , the proposal should turn off this function. Because of this change makes the display is difficult to judge whether or not the correct exposure of the photo .

Turn off the flash

Card machines now carry the body basically flash. Some darker light , flash jump out on their own . My advice is not a last resort , do not use it. Since flash card machine are close to the lens , so break out the light is no doubt a positive light , this fabric is just a bad light. Everything was lit up , the face is shining white one . To get good pictures , do not use this light .

Use light to highlight the subject

Highlight the main one that most people would choose to use a telephoto makes bokeh . This is just the easiest way . In fact, there are many other prominent main ways : for example, let the body in a bright place , background submerged in the shadows ; through action or to build a frame and so on. Indeed, most virtual background card machine was not good . Since the sensor size card machine is very small, so the lens is multiplied by a coefficient several times .

To blur the background as much as possible , only with maximum aperture , and as close to the subject. Although difficult to blur the background , but the photographer can choose pro hdr software to highlight the subject , usually more than a simple blur better.

Use the iPhone to shoot different landscapes

Living in the beautiful scenery everywhere, you may have carefully understood it. When I shoot the sky, always feel as distant breeze blowing , the light leave marks on the body , only to shoot a different landscape.

There are many in the App Store are very unique photographic App , can arbitrarily render landscapes, such as capture more light and shadow detail HDR, put together into a front view of the vast panorama of AutoStitch Panorama, giving photos retouching and hue Cross Process and so on.

Shoot landscapes to sense light

Light is to create an atmosphere of big hero , might try various moments of the sun and light are brought into picture in it . The morning sun filled elegant golden noon sun has a strong chiaroscuro , evening sunlight is rich orange, night came then filled with sultry neon light . Every moment of light feeling is different, ever-changing light constitutes the eyes can see colors. The essence of photography is to capture light and use of light to the interpretation of various face images .

Like a walk in the evening I happened to find this building huts abandoned for a long time , in the light and under climbing vines presenting a decadent beauty. Sun from shining into the edge of the screen , to form a special flare screen , with iDarkroom positives negative impulse style, so at the moment become better.

Day, the best sunshine in the morning and in the evening from 7 to 9:00 4 to 6:00 , the sun shines most appropriate angle , the light temperature is relatively soft, easily could constitute rich tones . Light is not difficult to grasp , the first to observe the trend of light , thinking to shoot backlit screen is still smooth light ; Second , the subject to be photographed clearly try to make theme occupies the screen 2 / 3 ; Third, do not take pictures when the hand jitter. In general, as long as the attention to these three points, the photo shoot will be more clear and sharp.

Sun quilt scene is so life, ordinary things though everywhere, but the hearts of everyone , but has a different emotion. Looking at these quilts , I remembered the warmth , the warmth of home is suitable for the evening light.

Select a balcony or rooftop standing height , no shelter in sight the case of shooting the sun twilight enveloped the city.

The coolest skill that bacteria can develop photos

Rinse with bacteria photos, Fun Pop Art. Is not impossible to imagine that the bacteria can actually flush with the photos ?

"I am in the end is a microbiologist engage in the arts , or a study of microorganisms artists anywhere else ? " Zachary Ke Pufei (Zachary Copfer) on his personal website "Science to the Power of Art" wrote : "Even I can not understand what the . "

Ke Pufei confused about their identity , which is well understood, because he is an artist wearing a white lab coat .

2006 , Ke Pufei graduated from Northern Kentucky University , won the biological sciences and secondary education double degree. After graduation, he was at Procter & Gamble (P & G) and Teva Pharmaceuticals (Teva Pharmaceuticals) for five years , engaged in microbiological research . However, he soon found himself not suitable for commercial laboratories . Ke Pufei emotion: "Science gave me a romance , I had almost been forgotten ."

Thus, Ke Pufei and studying the art of photography University of Cincinnati graduate courses in art began looking for inspiration , and graduated in June this year . He said: " Photography has given me a new perspective , let me rediscover the romance of science ."

Through the experiment, Ke Pufei created a called " bacterial printing technique" art form.

The " microbial artist" prints using traditional darkroom techniques , cultivate a large group of bacteria ( yes, that bacteria ) to form an image .You can never ever image that effects of  photos could be as cool as the photo effects software made.

The most economical method of developing films

Almost everyone has a digital SLR era, there is a group of people stubbornly use a film recorder with life.

A friend of mine once said : " Digital cameras record images is a physical change , while film recording process is a chemical change , love from my inner life , my physical activity is more of a chemical reaction , so I love the film . "

Film camera, the film does not say how to remove burn , one that washing, enlargements or scanning is a large sum of money.

Chong afford color negative or reversal film , we can punch their own black and white film , no money to do the film scanning , no space to engage in a darkroom enlargements, how should we do ?

Blue drying method is usually the first people encounter classical ( non-silver ) photographic process , because it is very simple and can be produced in a short time a successful pictures. This process is in the photographic technique " official" after the invention of the first three years , that is, in 1842 , John • Herschel , Sir (John Herschel ,1792-1871) invented this can produce persistent blue photo imaging processes.

The achievements of Sir Herschel far only that, he was " positive " , " negative " , " photography" , " Snapshot " and other words of the creator. He also in 1819 , found that sodium thiosulfate role of dissolved silver chloride can be used as a fixing agent for silver halide photographic this discovery provides a great help.

I appreciate most is that he also invented the flower juice through experiments print method: using crushed petals , a little alcohol and 2-3 weeks of sunshine to imaging . He was very romantic in his own book, describes it this way : flowers, wine ,2- 3 weeks of sunshine , just the three key ingredients for vacation .

Sir John Herschel first photochemical experiments, recorded : feeding coated ferric ammonium citrate solution and exposed to the positive image , so that after the use of potassium ferrocyanide solution development , and ultimately get the blue negatives. This is the classic cyanotype . Today we introduce is derived from this approach.

Sensitizer mainly by the sun's ultraviolet light exposure. Photo of Blue is ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide mixed solution of divalent iron ions after lighting a result of oxidation , generating a very unique Prussian blue tones trivalent iron cyanide .

Cyanotype photographs produced very stable, but the quality will decline alkaline substances . Photos by the strong sunlight will fade, but after a short time in the dark or photo effects software can resume.

The practical advice given by flying photography experts to aircraft-shooting enthusiasts

It is an excellent aerobatic season with blue sky, so if you happen to catch a show , there is a rare opportunity to practice . Birds and flight photography expert Nigel Blake (Nigel Blake) on the plane had just taken to Norfolk from the UK Maha Mu (Marham) airbase in GR4 " Tornado" fighter .

You might think that in these military aircraft shooting near a military base , would not be risking jail squatting risk ? In fact, as long as you comply with the relevant regulations, and do not hide their shooting purposes , there would be too much risk.

Nigel explains: " Security personnel might to ask you, but they are usually quite friendly and not make too much interference . Evening before , I was near the forest landscape photos , then on his way home after a Ma Hamu base I use software applications on the iPhone Photographer's Ephemeris APP queries a bit, feeling the sun and the airport runway will form a good shooting .

Nigel said: " There are six fighters taking off , which ignited a propeller , when the weather was cold, the aircraft and its surrounding temperature difference between the air causing the tail appeared such an interesting texture air . "

Shooting Tips

• Learn how to fly a plane pilots flying their flight path how, when the landing gear and so on.

• Use a telephoto lens , standing next to the runway , the aircraft with the direction of movement in order to translate the camera.

• Select the aperture priority mode and evaluative metering . If you are facing the sun shooting , set +2 / 3EV exposure compensation .Or adjust the light in pro hdr software.

• Shutter speed can not be lower than 1/1000s, so as to ensure that the tail of the air bellows clear, sharp .

To create your own abstract photographic works of art

Midas touch in the street to capture the shape and bright colors, the building becomes bland minimalist art.

Wanted to create an abstract architectural photography, does not need to live in beautifully designed contemporary architecture group . In fact, for professional architectural photographer Brancolina, the work can be so wonderful close a building from anywhere in the world .

Brancolina said: " These images come from a photograph by the eight -part series , this series called ' Mondrian technology (Mondrianization)'. This is a series of linear patterned abstract photographic works that I of the Netherlands painter Mondrian 's works as inspiration for these architectural details made aesthetic exploration . "

Brancolina in Photoshop using the transformation tools perspective on the screen was modified , and then added some solid rectangle - usually black or red - to make the picture more typical style of Mondrian . She said: "In order to get the perfect line , I conducted a perspective correction , but not more than 15 °, in order to avoid excessive deformation I then for some selected areas filled with black or red , to give them more strong sense of geometry . "

Shooting Tips

• Multi residence near you around, looking for potential subjects. Such as being covered by scaffolding construction , is often a good choice.

• The light-colored background , looking for those dark , horizontal or vertical angle of 45 ° broad-brush . Shadow lines can cause pressure in Photoshop dark .

• Leaving the camera parallel to the ground , using a telephoto lens shot , avoid lines are bent , so keeping Euparagonimus perspective .

• using the transformation tools in windows photo editing software to correct the picture perspective problems that may arise . With the rectangle tool to add color to the screen , and then can use the eyedropper tool from the Mondrian paintings draw the picture color to fill these pa

Practical Shooting tips to increase your level of architectural photography

Architecture is one of human civilization, the arts and crafts , both record years of history and the spatial beauty and cultural heritage. However, different architectural styles , not an appearance , which can better show how to shoot it should have beauty, the photographer needs to learn a subject. To give you readers quickly grasp easily absorbed , small summarizes six practical recommendations architectural photography , so that everyone in the building can play a good shot reference .

Increased use of aesthetic reflection or reflection

Building immobility , perhaps will make everyone feel "shoot and do not shoot , it's there ." However, if we turn around another point of view , they can have very different visual sense of the building . Them , " reflection " and " reflection " most people are accustomed to use it.

Full-wave rectification of : Empty dust

If you take the building glass viewfinder focus , first of all have to have keen observation . If the selection of a building as an object , you can wrap around a few times to go shooting reflection can be found in several locations , scouting the best time to wait , in the light of other conditions are met after shooting by pro hdr software.

The use of the pool or water to render the effect of reflection symmetry , the same applies for architectural photography . Reflection in the pool , for example, should be in a windless environment to shoot , so the water was flowing too fast cause reflection blur.

Make good use of geometric lines

Buildings smooth appearance lines, is a good entry point for photographic images . Geometric lines mentioned here , can be roughly divided into " building the appearance of lines " and " internal geometric lines ."

Use of the building the appearance of lines .
