5 Favorite Photographies

2008-05-21T10:54:00.000-07:00

Black and White Photography
My most favoritest thing for photography was taking pictures with black and white. Why? Because its the most beautiful thing for pictures. Matches everything and makes the pictures alive.
Creating Active Space
Second favorite was creating active space. Its giving the person who we're going to take pictures we create lots of space. I would use this like when the person is cutting seal and make sure the person isn't watching and take picture of her with the seal on the side and other the person cutting.
Taking Pictures with Beautiful Backgrounds
Loved this one. Knew how to do it before but learned a lot. You can take pictures with any kind of backgrounds that can be matching or not matching. Can take it any where in the world. I would use this one. Well but a lot of times we do. But would use different kinds of backgrounds that aren't the same.
Open space
When a person moves across camera's field of view, the final image usually has much more impact when the subject is off-center. Leave the open space in the direction in which the subject is headed. Similarly, if a subject is looking off to the side, it's best to leave more space in that direction. Would use this one when people are in a meeting and looking at the person who is talking, i would take a picture of someone who is listening, creating open space.
Horizontal vs. vertical format
The horizontal format does work best for most group pictures. However, a vertical image can be very effective for pictures ranging from full-length portraits to tight facial close-ups. The unexpectedness of a vertical format can also give an image added impact. Would use this one taking pictures of the kids playing out or take a picture of them with their favorite toy.

*BASKETBALL*

This is "JOE-SEPH" Joey Lincoln from "MY" class and he's pretending to dunk. Or is he not? I chose this because basketball is one of my most favorite and most admirable sport ever! And remember, when playing with "JOE-SEPH" on court, be aware, he's really good. Also, he'll block you with a blink of an eye, because he's tall!

~* THE FROZEN BEACH*~

On the right side, is the south side beach. Ice is still there and haven't melted yet. I took this one because the beach is always beautiful when its summer. Well not really. Only when it's clean. But the view of the ocean will be very beautiful, when its calm and when the sun shines it. Love the beach because theres lots of things to look for. Like shells, fossils, and any kinds of rocks.

-->THE CHURCH<--

Here in the St. Peters Fisherman Church. (Silly of me I didn't learn the name of it) This is more like a Catholic church where all people have to be quiet. There's times when I go there, just wish I can be loud or something, being quiet sucks in places where theres a lot of people. But one little sound will let someone say, "shh!" But I like how the enter view looks like because its triangle. Kinda like cheese.LOL

Chose Normal and Un-Normal...

2008-05-14T11:09:00.000-07:00

I have chosen normal and un-normal one because i had nothing else to choose. felt like choosing funny ones instead of boring ones. not that there boring but to me they were. wanted one that felt new instead of old. Why? People are normal when it comes to guys or when they want someone to laugh. so i chose that. But these people that i chose for my blog are all normal and there good people.

Normal One or the Un-Normal One?

How to Use Macro Photography
Macro photography is taking close-up pictures of very small objects or larger objects usually photographed from a distance. It's a great way to get some unique shots and see objects in ways you might have never noticed them, because the potential subjects are endless, you can practice macro photography inside on rainy days when you can't take pictures of anything else. Like the rug, flowers, water, etc.
There are seven steps. But you can check on your own time by clicking the very top web site.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro_photography
Macro Photography
Using a special-purpose lens called a macro lens, having a long barrel for close focusing. There are different categories of macro lenses, depending on the focal length:
* 50–60mm range typically used for product photography and small objects
* 90–105mm range the standard focal range used for insects, flowers, small objects
* 150–200mm range gives more working distance — typically used for insects and small animals
* a few zooms provide a macro option, but they generally do not allow a 1:1 magnification

Close Up and Macro Photography
Macro photography allows us to bring a small part of the world to larger than life proportions. Bugs, flowers, and blades of grass become skyscrapers populated by unusual beings that don't meet the average eye. With macro photography, your back yard can become a treasure trove of subjects.

Introduction to Close-up and Macro Photography
True macro images are those that show the subject at a 1:1 or life size, like capturing the same size on your image or film as it is in real life. Macro lenses will provide type of magnification or greater while many popular zoom lenses are really “Close-up” lenses and not true macro lenses. Even when using a macro lens, it don't always shoot at life size or 1:1 but at lower magnifications to get the composition wanted for a pleasing image.
When shooting close-up photography, it’s not truly macro. Most of popular close-up zooms allow a close-up magnification of around a 1:4 ratio size. When these pictures are printed to the typical size, they are enlarged to bring them to the 1:1 ratio or greater.

Garden Flowers
Close-up photography is as easy as mounting an autofocus, tele-macro lens on your single-lens reflex camera, mounting your camera on a tripod for stability, loading a media card, framing a favorite subject in the viewfinder and pressing the shutter release button.

ONE STEP FURTHER
Set your camera on Aperture Preferred mode to make photograph sharp or to blur background. Use a reflector board to bounce light onto subject and soften harsh shadows. Use an electronic flash to eliminate shadows and brighten highlights.

Pro-Tip
Place a piece of colored paper behind a flower to let the flower stand out in the picture.Colored paper. Also eliminates a busy background of unattractive branches, etc. Support the paper with a couple of sticks securely planted in soil behind the flowers. Place water drops on leaves with a spray bottle to give flowers the look of early morning dew. Do not take any flower pictures aimlessly. Pick one flower and concentrate on photographing it.

FINAL TOUCH
Make large blow-ups of your close-up pictures. Frame and hang them on your living room walls. Large blow-ups in frames make truly outstanding artwork.

Your Macro Photography Using a Tripod and the Self-Timer

It's often difficult to hold the camera perfectly steady no matter what the distance is. But in macro photography, because it'll be up so close, the focus range for the image is very limited. The slightest movement will cause the picture to be blurred. That's why Erin recommends using a tripod when you shoot macro photography.

Camera shake can also cause your image to be blurred.

Wind can cause your subject to move and appear out of focus.

How to Do Macro Insect Photography
Trillions of insects, bugs, and spiders that inhabit Earth can make some of the most fascinating and dramatic close-up photography. Insects offer the macro photographer an unlimited amount of color and texture to explore. They are unique as we are and obviously much more plentiful.
-LIFE SIZE-

True macro produce an image that is as big or bigger on the film plane as it is in real life. Like the picture down here is like from normal small then it gets bigger and closer to the bug. This is using from normal picture to macro photography. But its called the effects of magnification.

Macro photo of ant dragging a spider

Macro photography is looks fun and real challenging when you try to capture moving insects.
I believe the ant is some kind of wood ant, but I have no idea what species the spider is.
I bet some of the readers have the knowledge.

http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/macro-photography-tips-for-compact-digital-camera-users/

Use a Tripod - in macro photography a tripod can be particularly useful, even if you’re just shooting with a compact camera. Keeping camera still not only improves shots, getting rid of camera shake, but it allows you to play around with different settings without losing composition.

Aperture - once in macro mode some cameras will not allow to make many other adjustments but are able to play with aperture settings it can be well worthwhile to do so. As covered in Aperture tutorials, the main thing that aperture impacts is the depth of field of shots. Choose a small big number if you want a large depth of field with everything in focus or a large aperture if you just want main subject in focus. In macro photography you’ll

probably want a shallow depth of field so select the largest aperture available.

Focusing -in macro photography it is helpful to have full control over focusing, especially when you have shallow depth of fields where it is all the more important to make sure the right part of shot is in focus. The camera allows manual focusing select this option and manually focus on the part of subject that is the main point of interest.

Macro Lens/Close-Up Filter

In insect macro photography, close-up filters and macro lens are most essential items to compliment any digital cameras. A digital camera's built-in macro capability is unable to achieve magnification good enough to capture fine details of most insects. The macro mode of most cameras require to be as close as 2-3 cm away from the subject. This is way too close, most insects will naturally flee when something gets this near. Zooming doesn't help too, because the magnification is too little.
A close-up filter or macro lens has wonderful capability that solves issue. It actually reduces the distance the camera requires to focus. When this distance is reduced, the magnification is increased. Imagine looking at an object at a distance with your eyes. Now, move your eyes closer to the object. Does it seems bigger? Close-up filters and macro lens have a fixed focusing distance, depending on the diopter rating, regardless of what camera you use.

Scavanger Hunt

2008-04-24T11:32:00.000-07:00

Me and Joseph "Joey" Lincoln took a picture of a photo of Eddie Hoffman Sr. Why? Not really sure but all I know he wanted to make the scavenger hunt a bit hard and interesting. The Picture of him on the right is a photo of late Eddie Hoffman Sr.
Anyways, scavenger hunt is a game of finding something from a list that the person want people to look for and find it. The list might be few or more for people to look and have fun. Scavenger hunt is a game thats very interesting. Love the game but when some are very hard to find, it makes me luqi and some what give up.

Black and White Photography Tips

Black and white photography images are making something of a comeback of late as digital camera owners rediscover the beauty of mono images. Some of them reminds them of the past, the beauty of it and how attracted they see in it. It adapts really well to all lighting situations. Where color photography often works best on sunny days or in brightly lit studios.

Rule of thirds
The way to make photos more interesting is to imagine them dividing them into three sections horizontally and vertically, like a tic-tac-toe game.

Framing My Shots

2008-03-26T11:17:00.001-07:00

This picture of a window and the out door is framed. It's framed because it's blocking other parts of the image with something in the scene.
Also, because its like using frame for the frame. That's "if" you know what I mean.

This is also a framed picture of Justin and Merline. Used the front door to make a frame out of them. And it worked.
