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.

Happy shooting!

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!

Photography Tip of the Day - November 08, 2010

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

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!
