High-Speed Photography
By: Date: September 8, 2019 Categories: Photography

Shutter Method

The shutter method offers a major advantage. It allows you to enjoy high-speed photography outdoors. You will also be able to completely illuminate the subject and its background. Since the shutter can be used to freeze the motion of your subject, it offers limited speed. Usually, the maximum speed of a shutter ranges between 1/4000 seconds to 1/8000 seconds. Thus, in some cases, fast moving objects may seem blurred.

In addition to this, there is also a basic delay between the actual exposure and shutter release. Depending on the type of camera, it can even be close to 100 milliseconds. Moreover, you could also experience basic variation in timing. Therefore, if you require high timing accuracy, you should not use this method.

Flash Method

This is the second method of high-speed photography. You can take the picture by …

Shooting Interiors
By: Date: September 5, 2019 Categories: Photography Tags:
  • Use a wide angle lens. Shooting wide can make the room look great, especially when in Hong Kong, the size of the property is most likely less than 100 sq. meters. In a confined space, sitting tight into one corner while you try to get the other three corners in just looks wrong. You shouldn’t shoot all three walls into one picture. Showing the highlights of the interior design features is important. About the lens, anything in the 16-24mm range on full frame (or the APS-C equivalent which equates to 10-16mm approx. on some less expensive camera) is great. I often use 17mm full frame for my wide interior work.
  • Sufficient indoor and natural lighting are both important. Light up the room. If there is good natural light coming through the windows, use that as well. Adjust the overall feeling

Creating a Photography Studio in Greenhouse
By: Date: September 4, 2019 Categories: Photography

Photo studios require adequate space for capturing different angles and properly zooming in on subjects to prevent image distortion. It is also important to have enough room for storing props, backdrops, and equipment. For these reasons, a small living room nook will not provide the appropriate space for a photography studio. A greenhouse, whether it is a standalone structure or a lean-to addition, will provide enough room for moving subjects, zooming, and storing equipment. A lean-to will already have one solid wall, which is perfect for the staging area. Freestanding greenhouses can be designed with a solid wall, or they can include a sliding wall with solid panels that act as a solid wall when closed.

Since a greenhouse is predominantly made of glass, photographers are able to take advantage of ample natural lighting. There is some controversy surrounding natural …

Basic Features

Most photo editing software packages and apps will allow you to make adjustments across a range of different elements, and this may include the ability to remove red eye, cropping, blemish removal, color enhancement, sharpening or softening the image etc.

Resizing your Images

Because digital photography works on the amount of pixels in a photo, it is possible to resize the images by making them larger or smaller. Although, the downside to this is the degrading of the image quality should your adjustments be big rather than minor.

Flipping or Rotating your Image

Use Filters for Black and White Film Photography
By: Date: September 2, 2019 Categories: Photography

More than that, the additional problem frequently encountered is that some very different colours produce extremely similar shades of grey, and therefore cannot be differentiated; for example, deep reds and greens have a similar tone in black and white.

Filters allow some wavelengths of light to pass through them, while blocking others from reaching the film, and so they alter specific grey tone values. As a rule of thumb, a coloured filter will allow light of its own colour to pass making its grey tone equivalent lighter, while contrasting colours are blocked resulting in their grey tone equivalent becoming darker. To put it another way, filters generally allow the user to make one set of colours darker, while complimentary colours become lighter.

The scene or subject being photographed often determines the choice of colour filter used, but yellow and orange …

Photograph Corporate Photography
By: Date: August 25, 2019 Categories: Photography

Background

The background is of equal importance just as the subject. Textured backgrounds are not recommended, but a simple plain black or white background will be appropriate for corporate purposes. Since these photographs will be used for corporate profiles and business interviews, it is important to keep it simple yet elegant.

Natural light

Examine the environment in which you plan to photograph your subject. If the room has ample natural light, then you will have no need for the flash. Switch off the indoor lights and position your subject with a simple background behind the subject as the light comes from the sides through the window. Use a camera that is good for shooting images without the noise.

Low light

If you have to shoot in a low light environment, go for the flash mode. Even in the studio environment, …
