Guest Marad44 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Shoot first, focus laterPhotography has certainly made leaps and bounds, first from film to digital, now with cell phones near-comparable to point-and-shoots. But did you ever imagine a day you'd be able to focus a picture after you took it? Well, it's here. Lytro, a Silicon Valley startup, unveiled its light-field camera, also named Lytro, which takes a 3D map of whatever was photographed. That means you can literally refocus long after you've snapped the shot.http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20122734-264/lytro-unveils-radical-new-camera-design/?tag=nl.e404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just how you see things and want things to be captures. Techniques and other thing are just secondary. Just grab your camera (or phone) and just snap away!

Guest Marad44 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 What are those? I took them using my iPhone.Almost all digital cameras and smart phones save JPEG files with EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) data.Camera settings and scene information are recorded by the camera into the image file. Examples of stored information are shutter speed, date and time a photo was taken, focal length, exposure compensation, metering pattern and if a flash was used.Many camera owners study EXIF to compare successful photos to those that are not. Data provides insight about how camera settings affect photo characteristics such as exposure, depth-of-field and subject movement.Read: http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/tip/38/what-is-exif/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not some photog guru but you can read up about exposure and stuffs online!Both points are inaccurate.True, you should learn exposure. But in reply to boyzbe's question - the easy way would be to use fill flash. Pop up your camera's flash to light up the people or objects in the foreground. The more accurate approach would be to switch to a spot or centre-weighted meter to shoot it (this point will mean you need to know how your camera works).

MeowPrince Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Yeap I do.In that case, wouldnt the people be brighten up while the foreground becomes dark?What's centre-weighted meter?Give us more details on what you want to achieve, eg : are you shooting people in the foreground or a building/object in the foreground. What is the context of your shot? If you are just shooting people in the foreground, fill-flash, properly used, will do the job. So this becomes a case of basic technique (as opposed to some comments to the contrary). More accurate exposure, however, will come with practice and skill.To borrow an example off a friend's Flickr - this is a case of a reasonably balanced fill-flash (I think he used a D40X)To get a more balanced picture, fill flash + manual exposure tweaks to retain both the foreground AND underexpose the sunlit background to get nice blue sky and clean buildings will get you thisIn this case, there is no formula. You need to adjust in the conditions present at the time. And that comes with a lot the skill and creativity to get the moment. PhotoShop cannot reproduce something like that.As for my seemingly strange question w.r.t. PhotoShop, that is the basic tool used on the images at the top of this page. And all tools are only as good as the craftsman. Overdoing the saturation sponging will result in what is often termed "radioactive" or "toxic waste" images. Likewise inaccurate dodging will result in halo around buildings and objects which were underexposed from the get go.Hope this helps.

Wolfe Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hi all, was browsing the forum and came across this thread. There are some pretty nice pictures in here. I have a mild interest in photography too, though of late I have been in a kind of funk (the rain isn't helping either when I want to chase sunsets) lately, maybe I'll have some inspiration looking in here.Will share some pictures as soon as i discover how to, have no idea how this forum works.
