Photowalk # 7

To All Photography Enthusiasts,

We have successfully completed six PhotoWalk sessions, still the hunger for photography is always more... So, planned for one on 25th Nov 2012 (Sunday)

Place: Bugle Rock (click for reference) - Near Gandhi Baazar and adjacent to Bull Temple. 
Meeting point - Police station road, Main entrance.

Time: Lets meet at the venue by 7:00 AM on 25th Nov, 2012.

Route Map : http://maps.google.co.in/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

The very first question comes in mind, what exactly is a Photo walk?

You take yourself and a camera to a designated meeting place to meet up with other photographers, then venture out into an area and snap away! Walk around taking pictures for a couple of hours, then gather at a place, and compare, share, discuss, and have a good time.

Aim: Photography is the main aim of this "walk". Subjects may include architecture, landscape, macro, portraiture (both candid and arranged). There will be learning exercises and also some teaching, if needed.

Is this Photowalk for me?

This Photowalk is for you, if the answer is ‘Yes’ for any of the below questions;

•        Have you recently bought a Camera or DSLR and wondering what to do with it? Still clicking in Auto Mode and getting basic quality images?
•         Are the photographic jargons like Shutter speed, Aperture, ISO and Exposure Metering confusing?
•         Are you planning to buy a camera and looking for some tips and ideas to click better photos?
•         Do you have reasonable knowledge in photography and want to make friends for future photo shoots?

Benefits of joining us on a photo-walk

It's an area that you're already familiar with, being there with a group of creative people can help you see things in ways you hadn't noticed before. Or if it's an area you're unfamiliar with, you can get to know the area with other people who may have lived there all their lives! But the best part (I think) is that you get to meet fellow photographers, make new friends, and have fun!

What do you need to bring?

Yourself and a camera. Doesn't matter what kind. If you want to come with a cell phone, go for it. If you want to show up with a top-of-the-line camera and an assortment of lenses and accessories, Great. Just remember that it is a photo walk, so what you bring with you, you'll be carrying the entire time. Personally, I would recommend bringing fairly minimal gear that's versatile so you don't have to change lenses every five minutes. A bottle of water to walk more…

Fee - No Charges, just carry enough money for parking, entrance, food, etc...

We're looking forward to a have great day of fun, photography, and forming new friendships across...

Birth of Photography

On a day of 1826, French inventor Joseph Nicephore Niepce took the first photograph of the countryside in France with camera obscura. 

Below is first image and birth of photography.

Focus it Right !!

Yes its true. Lytro the new technology in photography lets you to change the focus after picture is taken.

The breakthrough is a different type of sensor that captures what are known as light fields — basically, all the light that is moving in all directions in the view of the camera. It gives capabilities you never had in any conventional cameras.

So wondering how it works. Light travels everywhere instead capturing only single plane of light, Lytro captures the light field travelling in every direction at that point . Like every eye sees it normally.

This technology free the use of auto-focus motor as focusing after the image is taken.

‎1,000,000,000,000 Frames/Second Photography

‎1,000,000,000,000 Frames/Second Photography

How about that for a shutter speed, eh?

This is real rocket science: A camera that can film photons in flight. In doing this, it reaches towards the extreme outer edges of physics where weird relativistic effects take place.

Just as a comparison: If you would be filming a bullet flying through that bottle at 1,000,000,000,000 Frames/Second, you would have to watch a whole year to see it go through.

What is Exposure Triangle?

Understanding Exposure Triangle in DSLR Cameras:

The exposure triangle is a useful way of describing the relationship between the three aspects of exposure (Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO). Adjusting just one of these will make the photo darker or brighter and will change the appearance of the photo based on what you have changed.Understanding each of these aspects of photography is necessary to have creative control over your shots. In the picture, each side of the triangle represents one of the three variables, Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO.

Aperture

- Small numbers (like f/1.4) have larger openings, which let in more light. (f1 - Shallow Focus)

- Big numbers (like f/22) have smaller openings, which let in less light. (f22 – More in Focus)

Shutter Speed

- Seeing 100, 250, 320, etc. on your viewfinder means “1/(number seen)”, like “1/100”.

- Try not to use 1/60 or less when handheld, that’s when you use a tripod or look for something steady.

- Using longer exposure (slow shutter speed) will let in more light. (More Motion Blur)

- Using shorter exposure (fast shutter speed) will let in less light. (Less Motion Blur)

ISO

- ISO is the sensitivity of your camera to light

- Lower numbers are less sensitive to light, which give smoother photos. (Less Noise)

- Higher numbers are very sensitive to light, which give very grainy and noisy photos. (More Noise)

Exposure: The light meter is different from the exposure setting.

- Keeping your light meter at “0” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the perfect setting. Just don’t stray too far from the “0”. Adjust to your liking.

- Positive numbers on your exposure setting will make your photos brighter.

- Negative numbers make your photos darker.
