What is a JPEG?

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

 

A JPEG is mostly the opposite of a GIF. Being a much larger file, you can save a JPEG in Photoshop as a small, medium, or large file, depending on the amount of information it has and how big you want the file to be.

 

A JPEG is capable of millions of colors versus the 256 that a GIF offers. In addition, a JPEG boasts continuous tones and gradients of color, and it may be gradually displayed when downloaded. JPEGs are by fat the most popular method of saving images on a digital camera.

 

The largest drawback of a JPEG is that every time you open and save one, it compresses the file. After numerous openings and closings, these files can become very grainy and not very useful. Having said that, don’t open and resave the file more times than absolutely necessary.

 

Thank you and happy shooting!

Zoom Settings

When using the long end of a zoom, be extra careful to hold the camera steady, since the chance of camera shake grows as focal length increases.

I hope that this photography tip will be of value to you.

Happy shooting!

Zoom Setting

Walking towards or away from the subject is often better than zooming in or out. It helps you to experience and explore changes in perspective, and keep you actively looking for the best picture.

I hope this tip will assist you in your photography.

Zoom Setting

The best way to use the zoom is to decide what kind of picture or what part of the scene you want, then set the zoom to suit. Often you will want either the widest or the longest setting, but when you compose the image you can make small adjustments if you have time.

I hope that this photography tip will be of help to you.

Happy shooting!

Judging Exposure

Whether an image is properly exposed or not depends on the type of image you want to create. You will have a key tone - a face, or flower, or patch of landscape, for example - that must look correct, so expose that. The rest of the image can fall in where it will.

I hope that this photography tip will be of benefit to you.

Happy shooting!

Judging Exposure

When shooting in poor light conditions, or if you or your subject is moving, you can reduce exposure times by adjusting your camera's sensitivity - the ISO setting. Raising it may enable you to take very sharp photographs with little reduction in image quality.

I hope that this photography tip will be of great benefit to you.

Happy shooting!



Photography Tip of the Day - November 04, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Judging Exposure

In sunny situations, try to position yourself so that the sun is to one side, so that you see your subject partially lit and partially in shadow. An exposure that takes in both the sunny and the shadowy areas is likely to be correct.

I hope that this photography tip will be of benefit to you.

Happy shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - November 03, 2010

By Nathaniel 3x Rhine

Judging Exposure

The most demanding lighting conditions, against the light or high-contrast lighting, for example - make it difficult to obtain the correct exposure. If you have the opportunity, check the image and repeat the shot with extra or reduced exposure (using the override controls or manual exposure settings) as you need.

I hope that this tip will be of great use to you.

Happy shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - November 02, 2010

Judging Exposure

To refine your exposure technique, use the center-weighted or spot-metering mode to determine exposure. These read only a limited part of the scene, and you will learn by evaluating the results and making adjustments.

I hope this tip will be of value to you.

Happy shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - November 01, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Judging Exposure

If in doubt, make the exposure anyway. It is better to have something that is not perfectly exposed than no image at all. You can always adjust the image later using editing software.

I hope this tip will be of value to you.

Happy shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - October 29, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Judging Exposure

In tricky lighting conditions, learn to obtain the exposure from the part of the scene you want to expose correctly, such as the face. Select the selection of  the image in the viewfinder, then hold the reading and re-compose the shot. This is the fastest way to ensure exposure.

I hope this this tip will be useful to you.

Photography Tip of the Day - October 28, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Finding Focus

For self-timer shots, where you set up the camera to include yourself in a group shot - ensure that the camera is not only framed correctly, but also focused on the group before you set off the self-timer. Alternatively, it may be easier to set the focus manually.

I hope this tip will be of benefit to you.

Things to Think About Before Purchasing a Digital Camera

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Before you start looking at cameras, ask yourself these important questions to determine your needs:

1. How much money is in my budget?

2. How often do I intend to use my camera? Will I take occasional family photographs or become a proficient amateur photographer?

3. What kind of photography am I interested in? Will I shoot landscapes, portraits, my children’s Taekwondo events or other fast-moving subjects?

4. What kind of lighting will I typically work with – outdoors, indoors, or both? What about weather conditions?

5. Will I print photos, and will I want to print large photos?

6. Can I use my existing equipment, which makes compatibility important?

7. Am I willing to learn a little about photography so that I can use a more manual model?

These are a few questions to get the ball rolling. I encourage you to stay turned to this blog site for I will have more interesting articles that will be of help to you, if not now, perhaps in the future. Happy shooting!

Finding Focus

If you have manual focusing controls on your camera or lens, learn to use them. The controls on some point-and-shoot cameras may be very limited to setting focus by distance, rather than by watching the sharpness of the image. Manual control is useful when photographing close-up as it allows you to make precise adjustments in focus.

I hope this tip will be of value to you. Happy shooting!

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Finding Focus

If you set the auto-focus to single-shot or one-shot mode, the camera will expose only when it determines that focus has been found. This helps ensure sharp images but may slow down photography in fast-changing situations.

I hope this tip will be of value to you. Happy shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - October 25, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Finding Focus

If your camera is unable to focus, for example, because the subject lacks detail or is too high in contrast, point the focusing spot at another object that is the same distance away as your subject, before re-framing your shot and taking the picture.

I hope this tip will be of value to you. Happy shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - October 22, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Finding Focus:

If your camera offers a choice between multiple or single focusing points, choose the single, central point. This allows you to focus more precisely and to focus past near obstructions such as railings, or the leaves of a tree. In addition, the camera may work faster when set to a single focusing point, rather than several.

I hope this will prove to be helpful. Happy shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - October 21, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Finding Focus:

When working very close to your subject, it may be easier to keep it in focus by maintaining the distance between yourself and the subject by moving the camera backwards and forwards (nearer and further away) rather than by adjusting focus.

I hope this tip will prove to be useful. Enjoy your shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - October 18, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Camera Settings:

Set the camera to use Adobe RGB, if available on your camera, and set color saturation (richness) and sharpness to increase by a notch or two in the camera's image adjustment menu to save work on your computer.

I hope this tip prove to be helpful to you. Happy shooting!

Camera Settings:

Use the TV (Time Value) priority setting when short or long exposures are necessary to suit the subject. You should use short shutter times such as 1/500 of a second for action, and longer times such as 1 second or more for blurred light trails at night. TV settings are represented as fractions of a second and can range from 1/8000 of a second to several seconds.

I hope that this tip will be helpful to you. Enjoy your shooting!

Camera Settings:

If you have travelled to another time zone, remember to change the time setting on your camera. Accurate local time stamps on your images will help you to keep track of your photographs and store them in order when you are to return home.

Photography Tip of the Day - October 12, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Camera Settings:

Use the AV (Aperture Value) priority setting when the depth of field is an important aspect of your photography. A high level AV setting will capture a scene with a large depth of field; a low AV setting will produce an image with a narrow depth of field.

I hope this tip will be of help to you and your photography. Happy shooting!

Photography Tip of the Day - October 11, 2010

By Nathaniel Rhine

Set the camera to series exposure, rather than single exposure, if possible. This readies the camera to respond quickly if you need to make a number of exposures in rapid succession. If you do not need a series of images, you can just lift your finger off the shutter button.

Try this simple tip and enjoy your photographing!
