Seeing Art in Photography

2012-07-30T06:29:00.003+07:00

Photography is an art actually see, not the art of shooting, "said Julian Sihombing, senior photographer Kompas Daily, in a discussion in the Pontianak, West Kalimantan.A few hours before returning to Jakarta on Monday, senior photographer with a number of other professional photographers, to share experiences to students of architecture from the University of Tanjungpura, members of the media photographers and photography clubs in the city of Pontianak.Although visibly tired after shooting (Art Photography) Singkawang resident activities, but the father of two sons is still the spirit of sharing knowledge. In front of hundreds of participants, he said, a revolution in photography occurred in the last 10 years that marked the digital photography that have sprung up like mushrooms everywhere.

But the Reuters photo editor reminds us not to judge the generated image of the scene because the camera used. "But our taste that ends with the camera," he said. Camera, according to it, it makes it easy to work, but not everything. So he was called as part of the photographic art of seeing and photographing not art. To the young photographer, Julian had to pursue the world of photography since the late 80s and during the seven years to concentrate on sports photo coverage, the state should never be discouraged.

"Basic technique is necessary, but how we look and feel," says the 1980 alumnus of the University of Indonesia. Julian was warned, if you want to plunge into the world of photography (Art Photography), it would require persistence and concentration. The closer to the world of photography, one would be more sensitive to an event or object to be retrieved. While many people judge the luck factor is always up to Julian.

Photographers and even then displays a number of journalistic works ever published in Kompas. One of them, images of crowded passenger train over the car that was speeding. To produce work of the photo, who was born January 15, 1959 is doing research first.Research is needed to see what photos have been taken for the object. "And do the same again. I took off the top of the carriage, "he admitted though that action is quite risky.

Learning Photography with Digital Cameras

2012-07-30T06:25:00.000+07:00

The first thing to note is the choice of digital cameras. You should know what you want, pocket directly or prosumer or DSLR? Just do not ever choose a digital camera that can complicate the operation yourself. After that get to know your camera, at least at least one month before shooting was really you.

1. Always carry a camera wherever you go.
Camera = lover, now is the lens of your eye, your point of view = frame, and you can see when it is the composition of space and time. What you see is the object of the dressing-room background and the beautiful wherever it is, where the light emitted from the time. So the morning and evening is suitable for you to stroll with your camera.
When you are traveling, whether it's going to go to work, school, church, or being a leisurely stroll, capture every moment of interest to you, no time for thinking .. exposure to the object, and not too often review after pictures, because you might lose some precious moments with your object, at this level that you're after is the quantity rather than quality (not time)
Remember, the main reason why you missed a great moment to be photographed is because you do not bring a camera. Make it a habit to always carry a camera wherever you go because you do not know the moments or scenes of what you'll see later.

2. Consider the composition.
According to some people learn the rules of composition is a good thing, but sometimes the rules do not apply and there are times when you must trust your eyes. So which is it?? Which one should we follow??!! Rules of composition or our eyes?
In my opinion, as a newbie you should let us have the knowledge and apply the rules of composition as our stepping stone, to package it better in the future. Do not be a newbie who is not knowledgeable in the shoot base, because we will not be able to develop. Might be able to participate in a photography forum for the added knowledge.

3. Eye training and instincts often
Look closely and notice the photos you take. Try to find the shortcomings and criticize the results of the photo.
Does the photo match what we want when we take pictures? Do you like his composition? Activity by reviewing the results of your own photos very essence of instinct al in improving your photography. Can then be sharing with others, and ask for their compliments and strain as much as the opinion of many types of commentators ...

4. Mandatory familiar with the camera we carry
You need to memorize every feature on your camera as soon as possible. It would be easier to remember the features you slowly try your camera features one by one through the activity of photography. Analogues such as when we learn to change gears when riding a motorcycle or car. Make it the ability to tamper with the custom features of your camera. Thus you know very well what features should be used when photographing an object or scene.

Directly in DSLR cameras: Any function

2012-07-30T06:17:00.001+07:00

Most of us make the process of editing and retouch photos are only on the computer, but for those of you who do not really know Photoshop or Lightroom, DSLR camera photo editing capabilities are also provided by camera manufacturers. Although not as advanced picture processing capability Photoshop or Lightroom and is not recommended, in-camera photo editing features gives the advantage when we really do not have time to sit too long staring at photoshop. The results of the edited photos on a camera in it is stored separately in addition to the original photo, so meretouch photos on the camera is not at risk of damaging the original image.

Here are some of the functions of retouch and edit photos on the average DSLR cameras (for this article is based on the Nikon, but you can find features that are similar to other DSLR getting on camera though different names):

Distortion

Unless you wear an expensive premium lens type, chances are you will have the image distortion in it. Distortion can be seen faintly, but once we capture images of objects that have many elements of a straight line, would be very noticeable distortion (distortion makes straight line looks bent). By using the Distortion Control feature on the camera, the camera will minimize the appearance of distortions in an image.

Red-eye Removal
When using the default flash camera to photograph people in low-light conditions, it is likely to be the eyes of the evil eye (red eye - red eye). Red eye is caused by the reflected light flash in the retina of the eye. To remove red eye, use the Red-eye Red-eye correction or removal (depending on camera type):

Image Overlay
This function is more an effect than retouch, where the images are stacked one above the other pictures that looked like a multiple exposure function. This function is not very often used, as in the case example is shown below where the two images stacked produce a new image manipulation.

Filter Effects

This feature makes us as if installing the front end of the lens filter, several filters available include:

Skylight filter: removes most of the color blue.
Warm-up filters: make a photo look warmer.
Red filter: reinforce the impression of red
Blue Filter
Cross screen filter: create a light source has a glow like a star
Soft: create a soft focus

Straighten
If you have a photo of the sloping horizon line, straighten feature can be used to straighten the horizon line up to ± 5%. Note that the more oblique images, the more the image to be cropped.

Perspective Control
If you take pictures of buildings or architecture and building in the photo to be tapered or inflate, use this feature.

Image Stabilization When Using a Tripod, What You Need To Know?

2012-07-30T02:44:00.002+07:00

Image Stabilization (or Vibration Reduction on Nikon) is a technology that is in some Canon and Nikon DSLR lenses. Enough to activate the Image Stabilization (IS), the photographer can take sharp photos in low light conditions without the aid of a tripod - alias using a long shutter speed while hand-held cameras only - no images to blur.
Image Stabilization or Vibration Reduction function reduces the effects of vibration during the shooting to be more stable and the edges become sharper images. IS or VR is claimed to make us stay sharp pictures even in conditions of exposure over 2 to 3 stops slower.
One thing that is frequently asked readers via e-mail is: "whether there is the effect when we take photos using a tripod while you turn on the IS or VR?"
The answer really depends on the type of lens models of IR / VR is. At the beginning of IS and VR technology is introduced, some of the photos taken with the lens IS / VR is turned on while using a tripod even just blur. The reason is that the default image stabilization technology will find the camera movement. So when the camera is mounted on a tripod so the camera becomes very stable, then the IS and VR will only create confusion so that the image becomes blurry.
To overcome this, Nikon and Canon introduced a new image stabilization technology that has the ability to detect when the camera is mounted on a tripod (tripod detection). A tripod detection with the IS and VR will automatically know when we put on a tripod and do not try to look for movement.
To ensure the IS or VR lens which is equipped with tripod detection, make sure you go back to manual lens. If your lens does not have a tripod detection, then turn off the IS or VR when you take pictures using a tripod. Meanwhile, if you've equipped the IS lens tripod detection, then use a tripod, would not give effect to blur the image when using gtripod.

Understanding Shutter Speed

2012-07-30T02:38:00.004+07:00

By definition, the shutter speed is the time frame when the shutter on your camera is open. More easily, shutter speed means less time in which the sensor we 'see' the subject which we will photograph. Simply shutter speed is the time between pressing the shutter button on our camera until the button is back to its original position.
So easy, we translate this concept in some of its use in cameras:

Setting the shutter speed of 500 means the span of your camera as much as 1/500 (seperlimaratus) seconds. Yes, the shortest and the spark of it. While for the exposure time of 30 seconds, you'll see something like this: 30''
Setting the shutter speed on your camera is usually in multiples of 2, so we'll see a row like this: 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30 ff. Now almost all of the camera also allows setting 1/3 stop, so less movement of the shutter speed is more dense; 1/500, 1/400, 1/320, 1/250, 1/200, 1/160 ... and so on.
To produce a sharp image, use a shutter speed that is safe. Rule is safe in most conditions is setting shutter speed 1/60 or faster, so that the resulting image will be sharp and safely shaded from the photo (blurry / unfocused). We can outsmart the safe limits of this with a tripod or use the Image Stabilization feature (discussed in upcoming posts)
a safe shutter speed limits are: shutter speed we should be larger than the length of our lens. So if we use a 50mm lens, use a minimum shutter 1/60 sec. If we use the 17mm lens, use a shutter speed of 1/30 sec.
Shutter speed to freeze motion. Use a shutter speed as high as reasonably achievable to freeze motion. The faster an object moves we want to freeze the image, the faster the shutter speed is needed. To freeze the motion of a flying bird for instance, use the Shutter Priority mode and set shutter speed at the rate 1/1000 sec (ideally ISO set to auto option) so that the results are sharp. If you notice, the photographer was idolized sport mode S / Tv this.
Deliberate Blur - shutter speed to show motion effects. When photographing a moving object, we can deliberately slow shutter speed to show the effects of our movement. Make sure you include at least one stationary object as the anchor image.

SLR Cameras

2012-07-30T02:30:00.002+07:00

You might have been quite satisfied with the quality of the image of a tiny pocket camera. Then begin to love watching pictures in magazines that look wah .. a super sharp image, the color is beautiful all-round, face portrait with a blurred background, waterfall with a seemingly very soft like cotton or photograph birds that are shot ... photo - photo this quality is average - average generated from SLR cameras.

So whether it's SLR? SLR stands for single lens reflex, a term that is quite complex to explain. But the principle is the type of camera where we peek through the lens of the object image (photographic jargon: through the lens). Large black camera is certainly not going to fit Your Pocket and quite expensive.

But in terms of quality, this camera producing pictures of cool giant iklam dimajalah or on the road. Once turned on you can simply take pictures, there is no shutter lag, capable of recording 3 photos in 1 second, manual controls to satisfy virtually all shooting parameters, and could be used shooting thousands of photos without running out of batteries.

The camera is what makes many people crazy about photography, have a distinctive sound when you pressed the shutter (for super zoom compact cameras and is usually accompanied by sound fake), and feels solid and tough when held.
You can change the lenses as needed, from a macro lens which you can photograph the eyes of insects to super telephoto lens so you can take pictures of acne on the face of your friends from a distance of 10 meters.
But before you start smitten with SLR cameras and start memipikannya or even buy it, we suggest you read things to consider before buying a digital SLR camera

Pocket Camera

2012-07-30T02:25:00.000+07:00

Pocket camera

Pocket camera is a type of camera the majority (nearly 90%) which is in the hands of consumers. As the name implies, this camera is small and really get into the pocket on your shirt.Pocket camera can produce images that are usually good, sometimes outstanding. Pocket camera is also capable of recording video, extra features are very useful and preferred by consumers. However, please note the words in bold above. Usually good and sometimes outstanding is the reason why the true photography enthusiasts (and pro photographers) pocket camera eye view - merely as a stepping stone or as a back up.There are several factors that make compact cameras are limited:

Shutter lag, defined as the time lag between when you pressed the shutter button and the camera starts recording. Is the biggest reason why compact cameras are very limited. This time lag may be only half a second, but in this second half there will be an important event-cool-funny-spectacular that it is not recorded into the photo.
Terrible in low light, compact cameras have a sensor (a small light-sensitive chip rectangle that replaces the function of the film) is very small. In general, the smaller sensor of a camera getting bad quality of her photos. Small sensors mean that recorded only a little light, color quality is mediocre and weak when faced with dim conditions. What are the consequences? The first is prone to blur images (not sharp) and the images tend to have a lot of noise (spots around the area of the photo).
Zoom is limited, has a pocket camera then you are bound to live off the lens of the innate nature to. We can not change lenses as needed. Pocket camera from the factory set to have a lens that can be used for public needs and can do 3 to 4 times magnification. But do not expect you can use it to photograph the face of your child's school play or drama in the face of Kris Kristofferson's photograph menanyi in a concert.

If a lot of bad, why compact cameras sold on the market? is there any advantages? There, the following:

Small is beautiful, with its small size it is easy to carry wherever we go so that more and more things that we can capture
Reasonably priced, pocket camera is a type of camera the most friendly to the wallet so that you will be loved wife / husband as intelligent frugality
More and more people do not want to look like a photo journalist. The bigger your tentengan camera, the more you look like a photojournalist. And assure the well-known range of David Beckham, Ariel Peterpan, SBY or Obama has never seemed like a photojournalist (kidding ...).

SONAR autofocus photography: autofocus system that works based on round trip sonar sounds - from the camera to the object back to the camera.

Photography SPECIAL EFFECT: The special effects using certain techniques.

Photography SPECIAL EFFECT FILTER: Filter (filter) special effects that are essentially not filter it because it does not filter out anything but change the view to achieve the results that deviate from normal shooting.

SPECIAL LENS Photography: a special lens that is used exclusively for special purposes. For example, fish eye lens (fish eye lens - 180 degrees). which is basically not a filter because the function does not filter anything but change the view to achieve the results that deviate from normal shooting.

SPECIAL PURPOSE LENS Photography: special-purpose lenses that are designed and created for the purpose of earning a special image that is usually hard to do with ordinary lenses.

Photography SPECIAL FILTER: a piece of plastic prism contains thousands of soft light that turns every point of light into a rainbow star and rainbow edged beam. Strong beam forming stars with thick bundles of the rainbow.

STILL LIFE photography: Means a painting or a photo shoot inanimate objects. Photography is a special place small objects made by human beings as its object.

Photography STOP: The unit that showed a shift in the aperture or shutter speed of one value to another value, up or down. For example, from the diaphragm f: 16 to f: 22 or from the speed of 1/125 sec to 1/250 sec.

Photography STOP BATH: Liquid stopper. Stopper solution to stop or restrain immediately developer (developer) on film or photo paper. Besides useful to stop the process that occurs, stop bath also serves as a fixer solution that makes movies and longer lasting photo prints.

TELE CONVERTER photography: additional lenses mounted on the original lens and camera body, which may alter normal lens into a telephoto and telephoto lenses to long telephoto. Generally multiples of two or three times the distance from the lens focus.

TELE LENS Photography: telephoto lens used to magnify the object to be photographed. This lens can be used to obtain sharp short space. Especially for portrait photography (portrait) the use of lenses as this will result in a closer perspective of the original face. For example: 85 mm lens, the lens 135 mm, 200 mm lens, etc..

Photography Telephoto Lens: the telephoto lens, the lens has a focal length. Shading (image) at telephoto lens is shorter when compared to other lenses.Medium telephoto photography: medium telephoto, telephoto lens types that have a length between 75-135 mm.Photography TEST STRIP: A way to get good printing results (normal) done by creating a multilevel lighting at the time of print before actually printing.

Photography HEAD TILT: The ability to flash-lamp head can be rotated. Its function is to obtain a soft lighting effect by first reflecting light emitted from a light-flash. The strong light falling onto the object depends on the reflector surface, color and distance.

Photography SWITCH TIMER: timer that will cut off the electricity at the end of a predetermined count.Top Light Photography: Light (from) above. Light coming from the object. Normally used to illuminate the top of the head model to be photographed. Direction of light can also display the detail object.Transparent Photography: Translucent view is that the surface of an object that does not impede the view to see objects behind him. Such as glass and plastic is translucent.

Translucent Photography: Translucent light. But we do not usually see objects behind the translucent object. For example, frosted glass, frosted glass, milk glass, plastic bleak, and so on.Transparency: Transparent, translucent images, slides or positive film.

TRIPOD Photography: Foot-three. A device used to hold the camera in the form of foot-three, which can lengthen and shorten as desired (limited). Commonly used to help overcome the shake when taking the picture using a telephoto lens, or using a low speed so that the position of the camera steady and avoid rocking the shooting.

Photography Tripod Socket: Place (threaded) for the tripod. A section on the camera, usually with a threaded hole in it, which is useful to attach a tripod or place the foot-three cameras.TTL Photography: StandsPhotography Through the Lens Metering. : Measurement of light through a lens system. Also called OTF (Off the Film Metering). The camera must be loaded with film to get an accurate measurement. Or alternatively replace it with scrap paper that is placed on the window across the film should cover the entire window. Otherwise it will get the wrong measurement calculations because the sensor in the camera will read the film pressure plate black.

Tungsten Photography Film: The film is specially designed for the shooting is done with artificial light with a lamp or a photo-flood plain, but also still be used for shooting under natural light.

Twin Lens Reflex Photography: Twin Lens Reflex. Camera with two lenses. A lens function to capture objects that are reflected by the mirror through the window of the sight, one lens serves to capture the object to be forwarded to the film. Using this type of camera like this should be extra careful as it is called parallax error at close range shooting.

Photography VARIO FOCAL LENS: A zoom lens. Long-focus lens that has to be changed or can be shifted. For example: lens 20-35 mm, 35-70 mm lens, 80-200 mm lens, etc..

Photography VARIO LENS: The lens is often referred to as the vario or zoom lens. That is a lens that has a long range focus that can be varied or modified. Thereby facilitating the photographer to choose a variety of chamber view by simply dragging them off the lens or play.

Photography VERTICAL GRIP: Tools of the shutter release for vertical shots without having to play the hand.

Photography VIEW CAMERA: The camera uses a large format film and photo shoots are used for purposes that require sharp details on printing the results of the big picture is generally used in the studio for shooting still life as it can enhance and increase space sharp perspective. Detailed images can be displayed perfectly.

Photography VIEW FINDER: Viewfinder. Part of the camera eye that serves as a place to see the shadow of the object to be perpetuated.

Photography WAIST LEVEL FINDER: waist sight.Photography WARM TONE: suggestive of warm colors. A color that felt not too dazzling eyes, or dark brown in color towards the direction of jet black.

Photography WATTS / SECOND (W / S): unit of power in the flash studio which is distinguished by the use of portable flash GN. There is no relevance between the formulation of W / S and GN, but the 100 W / S is almost comparable with GN = 30.

WIDE ANGLE LENS Photography: wide-angle lens, such as lens 20 mm or 24 mm. This type of lens with a short body that is used to capture a broad panorama or to shoot a large number of people. This lens showed a smaller picture.

WIRELESS TTL Photography: The measurement system through the lens without the wires.

EYE WORM Photography: Views of worms. Means shooting from the standpoint of the land surface. The result is a recording images with a high impression of the extreme, the picture was unique in that point of view like that.

Photography ZONE SYSTEM: A way to produce images with a contrast level that starts from the tone of deep black to completely white color tone.

Photography ZOOM LENS: A zoom lens. Type of lens that has elements that are capable of moving up to make the focal length varies. Focus length can be changed to shorten or extend the lens tube.ZOOM-Blur Photography: The blurring of images caused by movement of the zoom on the camera's shutter release.

Flash photography techniques / flash Light

2012-07-30T01:37:00.002+07:00

flash or flash freely translated into the flash. This is one accessory that is widely used in the photography world. Its main function is to illuminate to (expose / lit) objects that lack the light to expose properly. But recently began expanding its use to produce artistic photographs. This article will discuss the basics of the knowledge required to use the flash properly.Using the flash is not just a flash light, pointing the camera and click and be a bright picture, but there are things we need to know to get a good photographic work.

blitz and GN (Guide Number)To divide / classify the blitz, there are several classifications that can be used. The first, based on the availability of in-camera flash is divided into built-in flash and external. built-in flash from the camera itself while the external flash is connected using an additional flash or hot shoe cable to the camera. In addition, we can also divide it by the type / brand of camera.

We recognize the dedicated flash and non-dedicated flash. Dedicated flash is a flash that is made specifically for the use of certain features within a specific camera. Usually the camera maker also issued a specific flash for the camera range and can use features such as TTL, slow sync or rear sync, etc.. While non-dedicated flash has a very general functions of most cameras and can be used regardless of the type / brand of camera. This type of flash that usually requires a lot of computation because the flash that has been dedicated already received information from the camera lighting so it does not require additional settings again.There are also flash output power (GN) can be arranged, and some are not (fixed GN). We will tend to be much talk about a non-dedicated flash, non-TTL, and fixed GN.The use of flash photography, we will not be separated from the calculations related to the intensity of light reflected back from objects we cahayai. Therefore, we will meet with what is often called GN (Guide Number) or the power of flash. In short we can say that the magnitude of the flash, it can expose an object with more light and can reach a more distant object.GN is basically a simple calculation of the power of flash. There are 2 kinds of writing notes is by using a different calculation unit is m (m) and feet (ft). Normally in Indonesia we use a count of the m. This is one of the considerations as well as for the flash with the same strength, GN numbers m and different feet away. In addition, notes are generally written for the use of film with ISO / ASA 100 and wide-angle (35mm/24mm/20mm).GN is a product of the distance from the aperture (f / stop or aperture) on certain conditions (ISO / ASA 100/35mm/m or ISO / ASA 100/35mm/feet). For example, if we want to use flash to photograph a person standing at a distance of 5m from us using a 35mm lens f/2.8, and we want to use flash then we need air-GN 14. Calculation which is used usually just looking for the right aperture for a particular blitz. For example, the flash GN 28 then to take pictures of objects within 5m are we going to use f/5.6.The notes are only a guide for the photographer. Not set in stone. Affecting a few. One is the ISO / ASA used. Each increase in 1 stop on the ISO / ASA will cause the amount thereof increased by sqrt (2) or approximately 1.4 times (or farthest distance multiplied by 1.4) and 2 stop increase in ISO / ASA will lead to increased 2 times the amount thereof (or the furthest distance multiplied by 2 ).Indoor flashblitz often and almost always used in the room. The reason is because indoor lighting is usually somewhat less bright light to produce images that can be seen. Indeed, there is a technique using a slow shutter speed to capture more light, but this usually causes image blur due to shake hands rather the cameraman and the movement of people who want us to photograph. Therefore, we usually use a flash.Its use is usually simple. We can set the digital camera on auto and let it do its job or it could be our own setting using a calculation that has been done above. Not difficult. However, there are some things we need to consider in order to get maximum results.

Do not take pictures of objects that are too close to the face perpendicular blitz. Take for example the flash GN 20 which I think is sufficient as an external flash for digital cameras in indoor shooting in a room (not the hall). If we want to call it one photograph at a distance of 2 meters with ISO / ASA 200 f/16 then we need are not available in most of the PDC and will produce images that are over. Therefore, for PDC / DSLR are usually already built-in flash is TTL and has a GN is rather small (8-12 in some PDC, 12-14 on a DSLR). Use it instead of an external flash to the object that is somewhat close.
Combining flash with slow shutter speed to get the main object tercahayai well and has a background light source is also well captured. This is a technique that's worth a try, and often produce beautiful images. Do not be afraid to use a low speed because the object that had already been recorded flash will freeze (freeze).
When the room is rather dark, beware of the red-eye effect / red eye effect. Red-eye occurs because pupils are dilated to familiarize yourself with a bit dark but the light suddenly struck a very bright light from the flash. If the camera and / or the flash contained pre-flash/red eye reduction facility, use it. If not, change the angle of arrival outsmart a flash of light that is not directly on the eye.
In the room there was a strong light source like a spotlight. Avoid photographing in direct overlooking into the strong light source except to get a silhouette that is not perfect (compensation under 1-2 stop for a good silhouette). In such conditions, use flash to fill in / illuminate the object to be photographed.

Bounce / Diffuseflash is a very strong light source. In addition, the flash is the light that comes from the light source is small (narrow). Therefore, when light is exposed directly to an object will cause harsh lighting (harsh). In most of the photo documentation of personal consumption in which the officer documentation using point & shoot cameras (film / digital) is acceptable. But in the higher levels where the photo will be a general consumption, the hard path of light will give effect to a less unsightly. Plus this would normally cause bleaching light flash was a little white object and cause specific details disappear.There are several ways that we can do to avoid this in terms of softening the light:

Expanding field that is by reflecting the light coming into the other fields (bounce).
Spreading the light coming from a small source so widespread (diffuse).

Bounce flash is done by reflecting the flash into a broad field so that the light comes in a wider angle. We can use the ceiling or wall in the room. If an external flash mounted on a digital camera connected via the hot shoe, then the flash must have a tilt facility to reflect the light. If attached via cable Synchro, then we can put the flash on a bracket with a slightly upright position / side or hold it in this position.Reflect the proper position so that light falls exactly on the object is to expose the flash on the ceiling in the middle of the photographer / flash and the object.Some of the things we need to consider the use of bounce flash is:

Distance to calculate the f / stop change is not the camera and the object distance, but turned into distance traveled by the light flash. Normally the tilt angle of 45 ° we will widen the aperture 1 stop and the tilt angle of 90 ° we widen the aperture by 2 stops. Surely this is just a brief guide. Depending on the technical implementation in the field.
Related to the no. 1 above, then the distance langit-langit/dinding should not be too far or it will be useless.
Always use white reflective areas and dark. Color other than white will cause the color contaminated image while dark colors will absorb the light flash.
Consider the possible emergence of a shadow on the other side of the light. For example, if we are bouncing into the ceiling then we will get a shadow under the nose or chin and if we are bouncing into the wall on the left then there will be a shadow on the right. To fix this we can slip a bounce in front of the flash card so that when we reflect light into the top / side we still have a light that is not too strong a forward and neutralize shadow appears.

To capture an image in a vertical, it would be easy if we use a wired connection because we can easily expose the flash to the top if using a bracket or held. But if we are the hot shoe connection then make sure we have the facilities swivel flash head so that we can play facing up. Be great if we have a flash that can tilt and swivel. It will accommodate most of our needs.Another way to soften light is to expand the dispersion. How to use a flash diffuser. flash diffuser will spread the light emitted from a flash of light in all directions so that the exit is not hard. Generally available for some flash diffuser given different flash head. We can also make your own flash diffuser for us to use the various tools.When we use the diffuser, we actually hinder a particular area of the light flash and turn it into another place. This reduces the power of the flash that we use. If the diffuser is the result that we use to buy, then we can read what we need aperture compensation when calculating exposure. Usually found in a paper box or manual. If we decide to make your own, then we can do the experiment many times to get the right numbers for the necessary compensation other times.Outdoor flashAt a glance if we think about the use of flash, then we'll know if it applies to the atmosphere of a lack of light shooting. Therefore, we generally do not think about the need to use flash in outdoor photography (during the day, of course) because the sun was very bright. This is where we started error. flash is needed on shooting outdoors, especially on:

Condition of the object back to the sun. In this condition, the camera meter would have thought the atmosphere was bright enough so that it will cause the object to be photographed is dark / under because of a strong light is useless because it is not reflected by the object. Outsmart way is to do a fill in on an object so that even if the background is very bright but still get a light object.
The sun is above the heavens. This will result in a shadow appears on the bottom of the nose and chin. Use the flash to eliminate them. To soften the light using bounce card or diffuser.
The object is in open shade (shadow). flash is used to obtain the same lighting on the object as a whole will make the shadow darker shades in different parts of the object let alone a human face.
The sky was blue and seductive. If we are not tempted by blue skies and willing to get a picture of a white sky when shooting outdoors it please do the metering on the object without using flash or a flash. If we are willing to object as long as the lack of light blue sky please do the metering on the sky. Well, if we want to keep the skies blue once the object tercahayai well, using metering on the sky and fill flash on the object. This will produce a mix of proper and fitting.
The sky is clouded over. When the sky was overcast, do not hesitate to use a flash because of the effects of clouds will be the same as if we were under the shadow.

Basic Photography Techniques

Basic techniques of photography is something that must be mastered in order to produce good photos. Criteria for a good photo is actually different for each person, but there is a common opinion that can be used as a reference. The images have good image sharpness (focus) and lighting (exposure) is appropriate.
A. FOCUSFocusing is the object image sharpness set of activities, carried out by rotating the focus ring on the lens so that it looks in the viewfinder that the original object is less clear it became clear (in focus). Photo said to be the focus when the object is sharp / clear and has a firm lines (not blurred). In the focus ring, there are numbers that indicate the distance (in meters or feet) object to the lens.

B. ExposureThe most important thing that must be considered in taking the picture is the lighting element. Lighting is the process of getting on camera dicahayainya film. In this case, the light should be enough so that objects can be captured on film. The process of lighting (exposure) involves a combination of several things, namely aperture size, shutter speed and sensitivity of the film (ISO). Three things determine the success of the photographers in getting the film normal tercahayai, the light entering the film in accordance with the required object, not the excess of light (over exposed) or lack of light (under exposed).
 Aperture (apperture)The diaphragm serves as a window on the lens that controls the bit or the amount of light passing through the lens. The size of the aperture diaphragm is denoted by f / numbers. These numbers are listed on the lens: 1.4; 2; 2.8, 4; 5.6; 8; 11; 16; 22; ff. Writing of the diaphragm is f / 1.4 or f/22. These figures show the size of the aperture diaphragm in the lens. Aperture diaphragm is used to determine the intensity of incoming light.
The relationship between the numbers with the diaphragm aperture is inversely proportional."The larger the f / number, the smaller the aperture, so that light entering the less. In contrast, the smaller the f / number the wider aperture diaphragm so that light entering the lot."
Shutter speed (shutter speed)Shutter speed is fast or slow shutter opens and then closes back to work. Shutter speed controls the length of light on film. How it works like a window shutter. Shutter in front of the film plane and is always closed when the shutter release is pressed, to protect the film plane of the light. When the shutter release is pressed, the shutter opens and closes aka back so that light can enter and illuminate the film.Aperture size is calculated in units per second, namely: 1, 2, 4; 8, 15, 30, 60; 125; 250; 500; 1000; 2000; and B. . Number 1 means the shutter open with a speed of 1/1 sec. The figure 2000 means the shutter open with the speed of 1/2000 second, and so on. B (Bulb) mean speed indefinitely (the shutter open as long as the shutter release is pressed)
The relationship between numbers by closing the aperture opening is directly proportional. "The greater the number means the faster the shutter opens and closes, the less light to enter. The lower it is, then the slower the shutter opens and closes, the more light in."
Film sensitivity (ISO)The smaller the unit of the film (the lower the ISO), the film is less sensitive to light so more light required to illuminate the film, otherwise the higher the ISO the more light-sensitive films, so the less light needed to illuminate the film. For example, ASA 100 requires more light than ASA 400.

Understand the concept of ISO

Understand the concept of ISO

By the definition of ISO is a measure of the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light. The higher the ISO setting the more sensitive we terhada light sensor.
To get a clear picture of the ISO setting on our camera (ASA in the case of photographic film), just think about a community of bees. An ISO is a worker bee. If my camera set at ISO 100, it means I have 100 worker bees. And if my camera set at ISO 200 which means I have 200 worker bees.

Is the duty of every worker bees collect the light coming through the lens of the camera and make pictures. If we use the lens aperture is identical and we both set at f/3.5, but I set my ISO at 200 while your 100 (think again about the worker bees), then the picture who is going to have a faster finish?

Broadly speaking, when we increase the ISO setting from 100 to 200 (the aperture is always constant - we lock the aperture at f/3.5 Aperture Priority mode or through - A or Av), we shorten the time required in making a picture in the camera sensor we are up to half (2kali faster), shutter speed of 1/125 to 1/250 sec. As we add more ISO to 400, we cut back to half again making pictures: 1/500 sec. Every time esksposur shorten as much as half, we call for 1stop esksposur raise.
