Four Roads To Photography - What Is Your Type?

Filed under: Photography, Projects, Showings — Admin @ 7:35 pm

By Sebastian Marders

  People, Nature, Documentary or Commercial, what type do you prefer? These are the four well-known areas of photography. Evidence o them resides in the streets, television, books, magazines, newspapers, buildings, studios and walls of the metro. Name all the places in the world and pictures are there, regional identities that never go out of fashion.

A picture tells a thousand words. A thousand pictures tell a lifetime. Photography is the principal conveyor of knowledge these days. Everything has a meaning, from the equipment to the subject. It is a language that can be easily understood regardless of race and ethnicity. No words are needed just an ardent sense of sight reveals the true meaning of the photograph.

So, what is the best form of photography?

People - This kind of photography concentrates on the very word itself. It is subdivided into many branches. First, there is the candid undertaking that we have all taken part in, the typical snapshots of ordinary people, no composition. Just a plain pose and a click.

The next level of this deals with portraits. These are usually completed inside a studio, with full camera gear. Portraits are shots of individuals in a maximum depth, commonly a close-up photo of a person, together with a background. Weddings and Sports are also included in this category of photography.

Nature - This deals with scenic places, landscapes, and animals. The camera is normally held horizontally when taking this kind of photo. Usually, the entirety of the elements inside the frame are captured to flaunt the wideness and view of the subject. Photographers use this shot outdoors, because it requires actual locations like mountains, hills, rivers and seas.

Documentary - This is the serious side of photography. It tackles the issues of politics, society and history. The action of the subject involved is the main focus for the reason that these photos should inform the viewer of the genuine scenario of a current event. It is the medium of journalism, news and current affairs. It renders public service and exposes anomalies.

Commercial - In this last variety, photographers concentrate on advertising and product launching. The models vary from food, soap, deodorant, whitening products, and countless other materials that are marketed for profit. An attractive presentation is considered necessary to entice consumers to avail themselves of the products. It is a sort of photography that garners a higher wage because of the demand for it, and because of the nature of the clients involved.

At this instant, upon discovering the wide array available to you in the area of photography, which one will you perform? Keep in mind that photography is made for all of us. Many choices are available for people who want to commit their fervor to photography. It is not merely an amusement, but a profession. It is a breeding ground for insight and modernization. As much as possible, practice all forms of it to highlight your forte.

The good and bad in the Evolt 510 Digital SLR

Filed under: Photography, Projects, Showings — Admin @ 7:35 pm

By Deann Keith

  The new Evolt 510 is a great camera for its price. Continuing on Olympus successful Evolt 410 the Evolt 510 brings more features and fixes some bugs found in the Evolt 410. Here are some random good and bad things found in the Evolt 510.

There is no doubt that two of the good things about the Evolt 510 are its well spoken of features the image stabilizer and the live LCD view. The image stabilizer implemented in the Evolt 510 is an in-body image stabilizer that can work with any lens that is mounted on the camera. Although not the same quality as gyro-optical based in lens image stabilizer the Evolt 510 image stabilizer can help turning many of those blurry photos into sharp and crisp professionally looking digital photos.

The live LCD view on the other hand will help you take pictures in conditions where the optical view finder can not be used. There are many angles and compositions that can be very compelling and are executed with the camera far form your face and your eyes. With the live LCD view you can now hold the camera farther from your body while composition a photo by simply looking at the live video stream on the camera color LCD screen.

One of the problems with the Evolt 510 is the lack of a focus ring or focus buttons on the lens. Many times when you have to use manual focus using a focus ring is the natural thing to do. The next best thing are buttons on the lens. Both are not available with the Evolt 510.

Another Evolt 510 problem is its interface to the advanced features. If you are a professional photographer and need to often set the advanced features then the Evolt 510 is not your best choice as you would waste time going through many menus. It would have been nice if the Evolt 510 had macros or shortcuts to get to those settings.

The Evolt 510 also has problems with white balancing. In extreme conditions the camera white balance can be off and result in wrong colors. The Evolt 510 auto focus is slow and although the focus eventually is set right the slowness can be annoying and sometimes you might be losing a photo opportunity.

The Evolt 510 is bigger than its ancestor the Evolt 410 and also has an additional grip which makes holding it easier and taking pictures more stable. The extra grip is also rubber coated which further helps in keeping the camera stable. One of the weird design flaws of the Evolt 510 is that its weight is not balanced. When holding the camera it feels like it is leaning to the side where the battery and memory card are. Although it sounds like a minor problem when using the digital Evolt 510 SLR for a long day of photo shooting this can get annoying and after a whole day of work also put more stress on your hand as it needs to constantly compensate for that imbalance.
