FILE formats!?

  1. JPEG stands for “Joint Photographic Experts Group,” and JPEGs are compressed at the moment of capture; therefore, when you take a JPEG, you instantly lose some image detail.
  2. HEIF image files are smaller than JPEGs yet offer similar or even increased quality.
  3. TIFF files are usually uncompressed, so they’re extremely high quality and offer the opportunity for extensive post-processing.
  4. RAW files store all of the information originally captured by the camera – which means that adjustments to white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation, and sharpness can all be easily applied in image-editing software after the photo has been taken.
  5. The DNG, or Digital Negative, was created by Adobe in an attempt to provide a standard RAW file that can be used by all manufacturers and cameras.
  6. PNGs are compressed in a lossless format and therefore retain plenty of detail for viewing and editing.
  7.  GIF files can only contain a maximum of 256 colors. Therefore, GIF is not the best choice for photos, but rather for images with a limited color palette.
  8. BMPs are on the larger side as color data is saved for each individual pixel without compression.
  9. PSDs offer plenty of flexibility because layers can be added, removed, or edited at any time without affecting the original photo.

HDR!!!

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, a technique for capturing a wider range of light and dark in a photograph. HDR images are more like what the human eye sees. 

-2, -1,0,1,2 exposure.

FAVORITE TEACHER >_<

Although I did only have last year for IM2 he was my favorite teacher because he taught the subject well, so I understood well. I still talk to him sometimes and he is really funny. I would’ve loved to have him as a teacher again. He made math fun and easy.

FILL FLASH!!

It’s good to use fill flash when you are dealing with darker areas and with shadows. It’s more noticeable when you use it for portrait photos rather than with objects just how I used it. When you use fill flash it is important to know how to use it so when you take photos it will look natural.

AARON SISKIND!

50.00MM, F. 5, ISO 800, SS 1/640, AV

50.00MM, SS 1/1000, F5, ISO 800, AV

50.00MM, SS 1/800, ISO 800, AV, F5

I like this photo because of the tiny fish I think it’s funny and cute. I like his work because all of it is in black and white. This photo specifically was my inspiration for the first photo. It’s simple but I like it.

Flash worksheet!

  1. Too dark, fill a shadow don’t use pop up flash because it’s too harsh.
  2. No, you do not need to meter the light.
  3. Synching the flash with the camera’s hot shoot
  4. ETTL mean through the lens metering.
  5. The other half of the frame will be dark.
  6. To soften the light and make it look natural.
  7. A slave is something that makes all the other lights go off.
  8. If you need more light, you need to open your aperture and if it’s too bright close it.

STUDIO PORTRAITS!!

I chose this photo because the color and the girl caught my eye. The girl is so pretty, and her emotions are shown. The color with her facial expression makes it look emotional and beautiful. I think the lights were arranged on the side she’s turned to because the color shows more on her face rather than in the background.

10 Important Information

  1. Symmetric power packs split power equally between multiple flash heads.
  2. Assymetric power packs allow the user to vary the power supply to different flash heads.
  3. Monolights, on the other hand, are compact substitutes for a power pack/flash head combination. Their size limits their power, but they are often desired for their portability.
  4. If you are shooting outside head/pack systems are better for that.
  5. If you’re shooting indoors or inside your studio, monolights will probably be more than enough for regular work.
  6. White umbrellas offer a wider spread of reflected light, and gold umbrellas produce a warm tone.
  7. Soft boxes are for more focused light source illuminating the model or scene.
  8. The difference between reflecting umbrellas and softboxes is that the spread of light with a softbox is more contained.
  9. C-stands are frequently used in the video industry due to their durability and stability. They can come with a number of attachments like boom arms that can be mounted onto the stand.
  10. Most lights, regardless of the brand or model, provide heads that come in the form of a strobe surrounded by a reflector.
