Photo and Pictures

Thus making less light reach the sensor you can making it more sunset than it acually is using a small Aperture and less light will reach the sensor. Thus making it appear more sunset than it already is. Remember that you have control of the light.

Let the light be the slave rather being a slave to light. Study the masters of painting and learn how to add atmosphere to your photo. You will add light to the existing where you really need it and remove light if you need.

A reflector is often making the light appear more than it is actually is. Gold will make a dusky day appear sunny. Dark reflector will remove light you don’t want. Remember that one colour next to another is always effected. Learn how colour effect each other by studying the colourwheel

On the photo of Anemone hepatica I have used simple means to get the effect I want. I want to have an unified view of the flower and used an oak leaf that occurs naturally in the environment where the hepatica grows.

To get more light on anemone hepatica growing quite dark, I used an old receipt as a reflective screen. It lay and scatter in my jacket pocket so with the receipt, I could get more light. I then placed the subject after the classically 1/3 rule.

I myself have taken me up several times to do early photography. You can capture images that you would not otherwise have the opportunity to take. This summer, it is especially hard during the day and the light becomes increasingly bad. It’s important to use morning and evening hours.

The morning light can produce quite different tones and also a fragility that would otherwise not be able to capture. You get a totally different saturation of colors. You can also take against the light to capture images in a way that is not possible when the sun is higher. Make sure to shoot a lot when you have dried up and bring a thermos of hot drink because sometimes it can be damp and a little cold. It can also cause you to get fog which also provides other opportunities.

If you really want to create high-quality images so it is important that you think of how the light can work for you. Maybe you can change the angle so that a backlighting a screen make your photo lift. Perhaps you should wait an hour and come back to the site and hope that the light falls differently in order to provide a much stronger and sharper image. If you’re free this summer, get up early in the morning or wait until it goes down. Learn the light and experiment.

For those who are lazy and not be bothered to get up when the light is best. Photograph when it is cloudy it means that the light is not as strong. You can also carry around a white umbrella to take close-up when the sun is still too high .

Nature is showing spring now and we need to go out and chase the spring. Here i have used my sharpness of the lens together with the light. I let it sprinkle over the flowers try different angles to find where the light is right.

Know your equipment and find the lenses sweetspot is essential to take this photo. This is taken with camera Olympus E-PL1 and 14-42mm. I really start to get a liking to this camera and lens.

Build a light table so that you get information from below you can easily fix with the plate “Smula” (15 S Krona) from Ikea. There are those who use Ikea laundry bag as photo tent, which works fine. Previously I have written about how easy it is to build a small light tent. Now I want to go a little further and use the lighting from below so that I do not get any shadows at the product itself.

I got therefore a white translucent tray from Ikea so that I could put a lamp below the product. Then I built simple white paper into a light tent by folding a sheet of A4 paper so that they were folded. I let a paper that could stand in the background and hold up my curved sheet of A4 paper.

Yes, I know I should have sources of light from the sides. This is the more to show on principle than to produce the perfect product photo. I got the idea when Robert mentioned that he used the right tray “Smula” to develop an inexpensive white balance filters. His tests show that white balance filter works well good. You can check my own setting the white balance with that tray. No need for expensive filters to set the white balance, but i like this as an idea and even so a simple gray card works in every situation.

There are countless ways to build cheap light tent. Strobist tips how to build an inexpensive light tent is probably quite common and it could of course combine with my tips with tray with candles from below.

ISO is a standard and have specific forms for light sensitivity of color film. ISO is a linear scale, which replaced the earlier ASA (American Standards Association) which was of similar quality as determined by the U.S. organization.

What is it that they set the standard for then? It is about sensitivity to light and how “fast” the photographic film is for the changing of the light. It then determines how much light is needed for the film to reproduce an image. The photographic film was fine or coarse grains.

A film with the value ISO 200 is twice as sensitive as a film with ISO 100. In a digital camera, it means that when you increase your camera’s ISO value, do CCD / CMOS element (it corresponds to the film) sensitive to receive the light.

Different cameras are various good at this also when you increase the ISO value, you also have more noise. This is often a little less compact cameras CCD / CMOS elements and gives more noise than the digital SLRs. A good compact digital camera today, 2006 may go up to ISO 800 and still give a good picture. A digital SLR at ISO 1600 can provide a fine image with very little noise. This will be better all the time as technology advances.
