New Light and Field camera

The news of this new camera technology reached me over and over again today. Seems like every photographer seems incredibly excited by this new technology: A camera that lets you select focus after the fact.

This is nothing short of remarkable! If you know any photographer, especially those who shoot photojournalism you'll know that a camera's focus is probably one of the most challenging issues. This is quite a deep subject, that we all discuss a lot.

The Wall Street Journal says that "(it) will bring the biggest change to photography since the transition from film to digital". They might be right.

This really changes things.

Lytro, the company behind this new technology say that they will deliver a consumer camera later this year. Go to their website and reserve your spot now.

Happy Valentines

I thought that sharing the story of valentines day might be interesting with all of you, since it is the biggest day celebrated world over as the day of love and lovers and i am a part of it because i got married on this day.

"One of the stories beind the reasons for how Valentine's Day started comes the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honour Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.
Young boys and girls lived strictly separate lives. One of the customs was name drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and would later marry.
I also thought of sharing a image of a recent bride i shot. The image was shot on location with strobe lights.

Key Terms and Concepts

Have you ever wondered what the Terms like Jpeg or CMOS and several others like these which are used in today's digital photography world stand for? Whenever I hear of a term like this I am very inquisitive to know more about it and what it stands for. So I thought there must be people out there like me who will be interested in knowing about these terms. Here a few commonly used terms”

CCD/ CMOS- Charge-Coupled Device/ Complementary Metal oxide Silicon sensor.
Digital cameras use one of these sensors to digitally record light coming through the camera lens. Digital media cards store this information, and customers can later export the data to other devices or computers.

JPEG- Joint Photographics Expert Group. A standard method of compressing photographic images. Compatible with most digital cameras, devices, and operating systems, you can identify them by the file extension ".jpg."

Fixed Focus - A lens that cannot automatically adjust its focus for objects that are very near or very far. Instead, the lens has a fixed range of focus.

HDR - Image than current photographic methods .This allows HDR images to more accurately represent the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.

PTP - Abbreviation for picture Transfer Protocol. A standard designed to transfer images from digital cameras to computers and other devices without needing additional device drivers

what does highlights do in a picture

Here is a perfect example of a spring picture concept . I was thinking about a spring shoot and incorporate it with a beauty picture. In our team that day we had very talented hairstylist Kondor and Make up artist Darya .I noticed the flowers in my Garden and i thought how about using them in this picture. These pictures was shot in my home studio, with two lights and reflectors . In the first shot i used one light Elinchrom bx500 Ri, on a medium soft box on to my camera left I was using my 35- 7.0mm 2.8 ED Nikon lens. I was also using a couple of reflectors. The meter reading was f11 at 125 shutter speed. In the first image i black bounced from the other side to create more shadows and reduce the spill we also used another reflector under the model to get that extra punch on her collar bone and face definition..
In the second picture here the backdrop is actually off a sari and i have lit it up with SB800 and using reflectors restrict the the light on the backdrop to avoid spill.the second light was camera left with the similar exposure. Both the images had similar highlights but the only difference is the backdrop
Now you will think how come both the images look so diff rent even though they were shot under similar conditions and exposures... On purpose the make up was done glossy to shine and catch every highlight possible..In the first image we made sure all the highlights we created come through properly in the second pictures post production i killed the highlight of the image and this was the result i got, very pale flat looking picture.
