The launch of this new flash has additionally been amid the introduction of a radio transmitter, Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT. during this manner, Canon is that the 1st manufacturer that responds to the wants of radio with amateur and skilled photographers and to date had to be coated with another material corporations like Pocket Wizard, Phottix or Cactus.

So far this new flash drive is an orphan and may not communicate by radio-infrared if different models within the Canon, that makes it doubtless that soon launch new lower power flashes additionally incorporate Radio Frequency performance.

Moreover, the Speedlite 600EX-RT may be a flash with a similar power because the 580 EX II however with a additional powerful zoom (200mm reach) permitting you to boast a guide variety of 60 for a hundred ISO. In terms of construction if a breakthrough with a body sealed against the weather to a similar standards of Canon EOS 1D X and incorporates a abundant larger show that makes it easier to handle and will increase usability.

• Lower your position, don't shoot the cat or dog from above, better little bows, kneeling, or lie completely upside down. Adopting this approach will get the picture.

• Looking for a good background: the background is a major element in composition. determine the entire photo. not each uniform color background from a variety of colors, the background is a simple compound.

• Using lamp as best as possible. It could be a 50 mm f/1.4 for instance, or even f/1.8.

• Although with a suitable lens for portraits, it might be a good idea to use a target which distorts reality by offering a little funny. For example a typical fisheye lens would be a good candidate.

• We must realize that these little creatures at times can't work together, so you need to plan to take photos in stride. Choosing a good time, setting up the camera and let the animals you see him for a while until it no longer felt weird. While it's thought is a type of photo you want, composition, etc. ..

10 Tips To Get Started In Underwater Photography

2011-11-24T17:02:00.001+07:00

Although the professional and major amateur underwater photography any time is good to practice this specialty, the approach of summer is usually a good excuse to start in this world or improve our technique. And for that, you had better take note of the 10 tips to get started in underwater photography, one of the leaders of the shop Kanal and authentic expert on the subject, which dealt with from the equipment needed to photographic detail to consider to submerge.
Photo: Norbert Probst

1. Prepare a new computer. The first thing to do after buying an underwater case is a dive with it empty, pressing all the buttons and activating all the levers. Upon verification of tightness, a free to enter the computer and start working. While circulating around the idea that housing must be filled toilet paper to make the first leak test, with this we will only leave the box full of cell debris. Something obviously is not advisable.

2. Performance light and flashes. If the light surface is the essential element for underwater photography, this premise makes more sense, because due to the absorption and scattering of the same colors are lost. From three meters, the red color turns brown, and are lost orange and yellow. From 15 meters, the landscape is green and blue. Therefore, the use of external flash is necessary to capture all the chromaticism of the fund.

Even so, the distance of the flash range is also limited, so when the truth is only less than ten feet away (depending on water visibility) icon will appear in the picture.

3. Objective bright and low sensitivity. Underwater light is scarce. A very bright object is a good starting point to capture good pictures, since having to raise sensitivity to compensate for the lack of light will generate a noise that will be greatly enhanced by the blue key. We will attempt to always work with values of 100 or 200 ISO to maximize quality.

4. Macro. Macro photography is very "grateful" in this discipline. The shortest distance to the subject results in a cleaner and making colors more vivid, because there is less water and light through our flashes reach the subject photographed without problems. Furthermore, the density of water and suspended particles act as a brake light, which we always approach everything we can to the scene.

5. Working in RAW. As long as your camera allows us not hesitate to take photos in RAW format. Underwater light conditions are continually changing as we gain depth and to the position of the sun On the other hand, the immersion time is limited, so it is better to take advantage until the last second to compose and search for images or repeat a wall and leave the issue for later, on the computer. Shooting in this format post-production possibilities multiply.

6. Approach and the image plane. To get closer to the majority of underwater fauna must be done slowly and below. And better addressed with the team and, as any sudden movement may cause the animal to flee. It is also important not to block his escape route if you are in a crack and take advantage of the approach for a test shot and see if the flashes are well placed.

Regarding the frame, avoid photographing animals planes above or from behind. Taking a little lower and angled highlight the volume and blue sea. The bottom-up vertical shots give an idea of how deep we are, which is one aspect to be transmitted.

7. The color correction filters. Since the scope of light under water is limited, it is sometimes interesting to use correction filters (red and orange to magenta to blue water green water) to get tones that otherwise would be monochrome. Keep in mind, though, that the use of these filters is incompatible with the simultaneous firing of flashes.

8. Maintenance of the housing. All boxes are sealed O-rings to make sure sealing. Maintenance is very simple and basically consists in making sure the seal is lubricated. A small amount of silicone grease - equal to one or two grains of rice, depending on size, will be more than enough for the board just right.

This must be done every two or three dives, and before closing the case must be checked in O-ring is attached dirt. Remove the board from its housing to gear is not a good idea, because sooner or later would eventually expand, with the consequent risk of flooding of the team.

9. Buoyancy. It is essential to have good buoyancy control to get to stay static at the time of photographing. Keep in mind that it is not advisable to rely on to take pictures. In addition to the marine environment is very vulnerable and coral daemon take hundreds of years to recover, we can also have problems with camouflaged animals can be dangerous. Needless to say, to change things around to improve the composition of the picture is not right. And is that no picture is more important than the environment where they performed.

10. Security people and equipment first. All housings have some system to secure them to one of the rings diving vest with specific extenders or even directly to the wrist. These methods are a good way to keep the team due to an ocean current or up to the boat after the dive.

However, it must be remembered that if we are photographing large, fast animals such as sharks, dolphins, this system can be dangerous. In these circumstances, the team should be subject only by our hands, because if the animal trap for any reason and away with him, we would be able to release it immediately. We must be clear before diving that our security team is ahead or the best picture we can do.

Underwater Photography

2011-11-22T07:42:00.004+07:00

Underwater photography is no longer an activity that can make a few, know anyone can take pictures underwater with low-cost equipment and basic knowledge of photography. I bring a small guide which are the elements you need for this activity

This is not another boring tutorial on how to take underwater pictures with expensive equipment and a million courses to do to get a few pictures. Today I bring a few tips on how to become Underwater Photography without spending much money and time.

To begin to take your pictures are going to need certain elements:

• 1 Digital Camera
• 1 case for your camera that resists water and pressure (depending on how deep you think taking photos)
• 1 Photographer (this time you)

To begin, we must choose a camera preferably digital. In the market there are plenty of digital camera brands, some more expensive than others and some better than others. I recommend you buy one that is to your financial reach. Do not worry if the camera is a low resolution to begin with 4 Mega Pixels is fine.

Then you should think of a water resistant case and the pressure to your camera, there are many brands expensive if you buy a box of these, I congratulate you no problem, but for people who are starting there is an option and is the case dicapac (this is not an advertisement).

Shortlisted for the British Wildlife Photography Awards 2011.

This case is made of durable plastic with a polycarbonate lens, looks like a camera bag as it is not rigid like other cases and is compatible with 80% of current camera models.

The spec says it can withstand up to 5 meters.

Well we already have the camera and the case will now explain how to take better pictures underwater.

First we must consider that the light in water is different from on the surface so when you take a picture should not be above the target (element you're going to take the picture) and that the light should hit it. Sure we can use the camera flash but try not to do so as not to disturb the fish too much.

If you are diving and want to take pictures of people, try to stay close to a coral, rock or object for your reference. Also tell them when you go to take the picture are not throwing away the breath as the bubbles interfere with the image and does not look good.

To take pictures of fish is another story, they do not pose for photos and if some of you know of one please let me know they pose, because this is the hardest part of underwater photography.

So how do we take the picture of the fish? When we dive we take a quiet and relaxed. The divers must take a place hydrodynamics, ie, do not interfere with the flow of water.

Good for taking pictures of the fish we have a little luck and patience to get the best pictures.

Last but not least we take care of marine life and not take things to the sea our memory as corals, clams or whatever. Imagine that everyone take a piece of coral, then at least a year would not have the beautiful things in the depths of the sea.

Enjoy to try Underwater Photography!

Macro photography caused that it discovers infinity of tiny beings that live around to ours, in our gardens, patios, terraces, and until within our houses, they are the insects. How to discover them? Easy, we only must carefully watch each place that surrounds to us. We suppose that we are in our garden or the field, we chose a site and we pause.

Advice to Make Better Action Photography

2011-10-23T10:20:00.003+07:00

Action Photography #1: Approach in the field of the image

The key of the action photography is to maintain the camera focused in the object that at the same time moves to maintain the stopper open.

Action Photography #3: To fit the speed of clogging

The speed of clogging uses will have an important effect in the aspect of the photography of its action. The subjects that move express require a speed of clogging faster to avoid than in the approach when the firing is realized. It begins with a fast speed of the stopper and its form of work until the details of the too blurred image. The nascent photographers are generally easier to work initially with a speed of faster clogging. Slow speeds of clogging are better for the action photography, since they accentuate the distinction between focused the blurred and subject bottom.
