3 MINUTE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE!

Now my simple mind can understand black and white photography because it is just varying degrees of white or lack of white made when light excites little granules of silver. I guess I could understand how there could be different dyes on film that respond to different colors of reflected light but how can a digital photograph be in color? I mean isn’t a digital photograph just a bunch of 1’s and 0’s? How is it possible to get a colored 1 or 0?

One of the initial barriers to entering the digital photography field is selecting appropriate equipment. The sheer range of cameras and paraphernalia available is both breathtaking and daunting simultaneously.

There are tips for taking digital photography. By using these tips, you can learn more about the camera and sharpen up your skills of photography.

In my last article I talked about what the letters P, S, A, and M were on the dial on top of your camera. Unless you have read your camera manual and know a little about photography they may never mean anything to you. The camera manufactures know this so they also put some universally known icons up there on the dial too. Some cameras may only have the letters (like mine) and others may just have icons and still others might have both. Although the number of icons may vary in number with the camera models I will go through the basic ones.

I thought I’d talk a little bit about filters photographers use to help improve photos and deal with some problems taking certain pictures. I’m not one of those that has to have every accessory in the back of a photography magazine but I do have a few trusty filters that I always have handy. Some I keep on my camera all the time because they are useful most of the time.

You can make this kind of money with your digital camera too. See how I started bringing in a ton of cash by doing what I love. It will take hard work but I have seen how reachable my dreams really are.

Have you ever wondered what your house looked like from a bird’s eye? Did you ever wonder what it would be like to photograph a circling hawk while flying along side the hawk? Remote Aerial Photography allows this doorway to open. You can see the world from a totally new perspective.

As you begin to use higher ISO settings the more the sensor will record electronic noise which will start showing up in the photograph. It will not be visible to your eyes as you look through the viewfinder, but it will show up on your image. Film will not do this, so it is a better choice for long exposures like my star trails photograph where I opened up the shutter and left it open while I went back to sleep in my tent, then woke up a few hours later to close it.

Recently I was out taking photographs and, once again, I tried to outsmart my camera by guessing what the exposure would be for the light I was shooting. Well, we were shooting in snow so I gave the picture a little extra exposure by slowing down the shutter speed. My guess was close but my picture was still a little under exposed. How did I know it was under exposed?

There are so many average images. With a little work anyone can rise above the average. To do so you must recognize the obvious and learn to see beyond it.

I am no Henri Cartier Bresson or Annie Liebowitz; however, I have been shooting photographs since I was a wee child and still have my original camera, the Brownie Hawkeye, sitting on a shelf in my office. I use photographs to accompany articles and press releases that I write to market my business. I’ve had good success in getting many pieces published over the last couple of decades. By following a few simple rules of photography, you, too, can enjoy success in publishing your work.
