Metering and Exposure: Introduction – PictureCorrect

A camera’s metering mode generally refers to the way the camera itself decides which is the correct exposure for a picture. A cameras metering system is the brains behind how your camera determines the shutter speed and aperture, based on lighting conditions and ISO speed; in-camera metering is standardized based on the luminance of light which would be reflected from an object appearing as middle gray.

Short film made with 7,500 iPhone images: Connect

Panasonic targets photographers with 20-inch 4K Windows 8 tablet (hands-on)

Panasonic just unveiled a 4K Windows 8 tablet at CES 2013 and we’ve managed to get an early hands-on. The huge 20-inch tablet includes an optical stylus that allows you to navigate the Windows 8 tiled UI and touch up photos on the device. Panasonic isn’t revealing exact specifications just yet, but running at at 4K resolution at its booth today it was stunning to see images on such a display.

It’s Guest Blog Wednesday featuring Uli Staiger!

I remember that cold day in spring, back in 1991, when I visited a photography fair in the Javits Center in Manhattan. At that time, I worked for Neil Molinaro as a first assistant in Clark, New Jersey. Neil is an unbelievebly creative advertising photographer and an blooming nice guy. Not only has he created his own lighting system, he also managed to bring scenes on film that were almost impossible to even think! And because that’s not enough, he hired a German guy named Uli Staiger as his assistant.

Royal Mail stamps mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground – Telegraph

Royal Mail is issuing a set of ten special stamps, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the London Underground. The stamps are issued on 9 January 2013 which marks the exact date of the opening of the Metropolitan Railway between Paddington Station and Farringdon Street – the first part of what was to become the London Underground. The stamps show a timeline of the development of the London Underground from the first steam driven Metropolitan line service to one of the most modern Jubilee line stations, Canary Wharf. The world’s oldest underground transportation network covers 402 kilometres of track, serves 270 stations, runs across 11 lines, and carries 1.2 billion passengers per year

Google+ adds pan and zoom feature for high-res photos

Google+ tech lead Dave Cohen announced on Google+ this evening that the service has rolled out a new feature for interacting with high res photos. It’s a pretty elegant implementation for navigation: a mouse wheel or two finger swipe will zoom you in and out, while clicking and dragging lets you pan around the image. A map of your image appears in the top left of the screen, showing you exactly where you are as you begin zooming in and panning around. Hovering over the map box with your mouse also gives you the option to zoom in and out and select specific sections on an image.

Keeping it Real in HDR using Photoshop

Of all techniques that have come with the advent of digital photography, perhaps the most controversial and divisive is HDR or high dynamic range. Some people love the surrealistic almost cartoon like quality of extreme HDR, others hate it with a passion, in photographic terms it is on a level with the PC and Mac arguments of the computer fraternity. That said, HDR is an extremely useful tool for creating realistic images that are beyond the scope of a single exposure. The secret is to get the dynamic range similar to what the naked eye can see at not beyond. In this brief tutorial we will have a look at how to do that in Photoshop.

After my Fujifilm X Pro 1 review, people asked me about how I edited and recovered an impossibly colored image (which I think just sounds cooler than severely discolored.) In all honestly, it is color theory. But here is a video I made about how to do it if you don’t have that knowledge.

People Spend More Time on Instagram Than Twitter

During today’s Facebook earnings call, head honcho Mark Zuckerberg told investors that, overall, people spend “more mobile time on Instagram than Twitter,” pointing to comScore numbers to back up the claim. Not a bad justification for that huge billion dollar investment.

Turn life’s fast-moving adventures into amazing visual stories. Slow down reality and freeze exactly the right moment; preview end-result photos before you even shoot them; blend motion, stills and sound in a new way; take control with PSAM modes right on the dial and much more—and do it all with speed and precision.

DESIGN CUTTING EDGE IOS APPS WITH ADOBE FIREWORKS

Since the release of iPhone 4 and the iPad 3 (known as “The new iPad”), Apple has doubled the resolution of the displays, which are now 640 x 960 pixels (iPhone 4 and 4s), 1536 x 2048 pixels (iPad 3), and 640 x 1136 pixels (iPhone 5). To keep a good-looking user interface for both the old as well as the “Retina” resolution, Apple decided not to resize all graphics or make use of scalable image formats (such as SVG), but instead it now requires two sets of graphics for each device.

Some Lessons In Photography

Guest Post & Photo by Stephan Bollinger – Circle Stephan on Google+

On our journey from being a guy (or girl) with a camera to become a photographer, we go through various steps and lessons, and with it thousands of photographs (and at least the same amount in hours in front of a computer screen). Most of these lessons involve technical aspects, we discover depth of field and start to think in f-stops, motion and we analyse shutter speed, noise and understand iso. We then enter the wormhole of gear madness, and (at least for a while) believe, better gear will make us better photographers. And then we discover the most important lesson to learn: While all these technical factors are important, they don’t make us a (better) photographer.

Nikon launches 70-200mm f/4 VR telezoom with claimed 5-stop stabilization

Nikon has launched the much-rumored AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR, a lighter and more affordable tele-zoom with a claimed 5 stops of image stabilization. This is delivered by what the company terms ‘third-generation VR,’ which we’re told is not a successor to VRII. The lens joins Nikon’s range of constant f/4 lenses, alongside the 16-35mm f/4 and 24-120mm f/4, and includes both nano crystal coating and a ring-type AF-S motor to give full-time manual focus override. At $1400 the lens is priced relatively closely to the Canon equivalent’s list price – as is the $224 optional tripod ring.

Charity Of The Month

Movember And Sons

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Once registered at movember.com each Mo Bro must begin the 1st of Movember with a clean shaven face. For the entire month each Mo Bro must grow and groom a moustache. There is to be no joining of the mo to the sideburns (that’s considered a beard), there’s to be no joining of the handlebars to the chin (that’s considered a goatee) and each Mo Bro must conduct himself like a true gentleman.

A Mo Sista is essentially a woman who loves a Mo. An individual that is dedicated to supporting the Mo Bros in her life through their moustache growing journey; whether it be a friend, colleague, family member or partner. These inspirational women are committed to raising awareness of men’s health issues and much needed funds for men’s health along the way.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their Movember journey throwing their own Movember parties or attending one of the Gala Partés held around the world to stand tall and celebrate the moustache.

Difference Between Full Frame and Cropped Sensor Cameras

This week we look at the simple portable reflector and how it can save you the problem of harsh shadows on a subject.

Tips on How to work with Models

I’ve no doubt you’ve read many articles on the ins and outs of portrait photography. Many words have been written giving advice on the use of flashes, studio lighting or using natural light on location. Posing techniques and making the best use of the subject’s features, while addressing each model’s physical attributes, are covered in a myriad of magazine and online articles.

How to Take Better Landscape Photography

Recently, Lori referred us to a helpful article by Texas artist Rusty Jones entitled, “How to Use Good Reference Photos for Landscape Painting”. Rusty explains the importance of using photography in addition to using site sketches, and notes created en plein air. He points out how important his field notes and sketches can be if the reference photograph does not clearly show the details of the scene. I couldn’t agree more.

There is to be no joining of the mo to the sideburns (that’s considered a beard), there’s to be no joining of the handlebars to the chin (that’s considered a goatee) and each Mo Bro must conduct himself like a true gentleman.

A Mo Sista is essentially a woman who loves a Mo. An individual that is dedicated to supporting the Mo Bros in her life through their moustache growing journey; whether it be a friend, colleague, family member or partner. These inspirational women are committed to raising awareness of men’s health issues and much needed funds for men’s health along the way.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their Movember journey throwing their own Movember parties or attending one of the Gala Partés held around the world to stand tall and celebrate the moustache.

What Makes A Great Street Photograph and How Do We Create Them

Growing up I obsessed with basketball.

I would skip school; I would play in light rain and sometimes snow; I occasionally failed classes and always fell asleep in them.  From age 8 until 22, it’s pretty much all I did and all I wanted to do.

The best players were often reserved, relaxed, and mentally tough and focused.  The intense look in the child’s eyes above explains it all and shows how innate this mentality and focus can be.

Upcoming Sony Full-Frame Camera May Boast a 50-Megapixel Sensor

It has only been a month since Sony announced its latest flagship full-frame camera, the A99, but rumors are already beginning to emerge regarding the company’s next top-of-the-line offering. sonyalpharumors writes that Sony has reportedly marked sometime between May and June 2013 as a tentative release date for its next high-end full-frame:

Polar Bear at a German Zoo Gets Its Paws on a Canon 70-200mm Lens

German photographers Marion and Dieter were visiting the Nuremberg Zoo earlier this month when they came across an odd sight: one of the polar bears named Felix was chomping on a $2,100+ Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS telephoto lens. Apparently another lady was trying to change lenses while standing at the edge of the enclosure, and accidentally let the 70-200mm slip out of her grasp and into Felix’s territory.

Connect: Cameras get smart to survive – a look at camera Wi-Fi options

The rising popularity of smartphones has come at the expense of conventional compact digital cameras. The always-with-you convenience, along with the ability to process images immediately on the device, to modify it with software updates and additional third-party apps and to upload to the web from almost anywhere is a combination that’s very hard for digicams to compete with. Simply offering slightly better image quality and the flexibility of zoom lenses isn’t enough to overcome this convenience and connectivity.
