AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G

2012-01-05T22:25:00.000-08:00

The lenses are awaited by the user who used Nikon SLR body with non-motor AF has come

TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G, a fast, medium-telephoto fixed focal length lens with a focal length of 85 mm and a maximum aperture of f/1.8 compatible with the Nikon FX-format.

The AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G is the new addition to the FX-format lens lineup. It utilizes an all new optical design allowing users to enjoy shooting portraits with pleasing blur characteristics only possible through fixed focal length lenses. Even with a fast maximum aperture of f/1.8, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G is very lightweight at roughly 350 g, allowing users to easily carry their camera around with this lens mounted. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures not only quiet autofocus operations, but also makes autofocus shooting possible when the lens is used with entry-level Nikon DX-format digital-SLR cameras such as the D5100 and D3100, which are not equipped with an autofocus drive motor.

Nikon has long had the support of professional, advanced amateur and entry-level photographers for its consistent development of innovative products that respond to the demands of customers and are equipped with the optical technologies Nikon has spent years cultivating as a manufacturer of optical devices. Nikon intends to continue to expand and strengthen the NIKKOR lineup as well as improve customer convenience with the steady release of new, high-performance lenses that offer advanced functions.

Nikon D4

2012-01-05T22:22:00.000-08:00

Nikon D4 finally been officially announced

TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the Nikon D4, a Nikon FX-format camera that serves as the new flagship model in Nikon's lineup of digital-SLR cameras. Nikon will be exhibiting the D4 at the 2012 International CES, to be held Tuesday, January 10 through Friday, January 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This electronics exhibition is open to the public.

The D4 is equipped with a new Nikon FX-format CMOS image sensor (imaging size of 36.0 x 23.9 mm) and EXPEED 3, the latest image-processing engine specifically optimized for digital-SLR cameras, making it the next-generation flagship Nikon digital-SLR camera with the ultimate in versatility and functionality that offers superior image quality rich in detail along with excellent high-speed performance. It has an effective pixel count of 16.2-million pixels, and offers superior image quality under a broad range of lighting conditions with its image sensor supporting an incredible range of sensitivities from ISO 50 to ISO 204800.

The new 91K-pixel (approximately 91,000 pixels) RGB sensor supports the Advanced Scene Recognition System, which is able to recognize human faces even when images are framed using the optical viewfinder. In addition, the Advanced Scene Recognition System offers significant improvements in AF, AE, i-TTL flash control, and auto white balance (AWB) control accuracy. The 51 focus point AF system has been improved with faster initiation of autofocusing and the ability to detect and focus on subjects with less lighting. In addition, 11 focus points are fully functional when lenses with a maximum aperture of f/8 are used. All of this means more precise autofocusing when super-telephoto NIKKOR lenses are used with teleconverters (2.0x). The Multi-area Mode Full HD D-movie movie recording function is capable of recording full-HD movies at 30 fps, and offers three movie recording formats for selection according to recording conditions or creative intent.

What's more, the D4 records images to memory cards faster with built-in support for high-speed, UDMA 7-compatible CompactFlash memory cards and next-generation, high-speed XQD memory cards. In addition to built-in wired LAN features, the D4 also supports high-speed image transfer via wireless LAN when the new, compact, easy-to-use Wireless Transmitter WT-5 (available separately) is connected to the camera. The D4 is also equipped with a number of new functions that support a more efficient workflow for professional photographers, including one that allows users to add IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) information to images.

Always Leave Office On Time (for people who likes to work late)

2012-01-05T19:35:00.000-08:00

1. Work is never ending process. You can never finish the works.
2. Interest of a client is not more important than your family.
3. If you fail in life, your boss or client will not be the person to offer a helping hang but your family and friends will do.
4. Life does not mean coming to office, going home and sleeping. There is more to a life. You need time to socialize, entertainment, exercise and relaxation. Don't make your life meaningless.
5. Aperson who sits in the office still late is not a hardworking person. He is a fool who does not know how to manage works within the stipulated time, beside, he is a loser in life who does not have personal or social life.
6. You did not study hard and struggle in the life to be a machine and live a meaningless life.
7. If your boss forces you to work late, just forward him this mail. He will try to make his life meaningful too.

"Leaving office on time more productivity, good social life, good family relationship"

"Leaving office late less productivity, no social life, no family life"

Nikon Speedlight SB-910

2011-12-01T19:42:00.000-08:00

Nikon Speedlight offering simple and smooth operation

The SB-910 is a high-end Speedlight for advanced amateur to professional photographers that offers a number of improvements over its predecessor, the Nikon Speedlight SB-900. Among these improvements are smoother operation, greater illumination precision, and the adoption of hard color filters. The SB-910 fully supports the creative photography of advanced amateurs to professionals who demand the ability to make the most of light to achieve their individual intent.SB-910 primary features

1. A refined user interface for smoother operation
Users can now quickly access custom settings using the new MENU button. In addition, the graphical user interface (GUI) has been improved to offer simpler application of settings for all operations.

2. Three illumination patterns for use according to the scene
The SB-910 offers selection from three illumination patterns (standard, even, center-weighted), allowing users to choose the pattern most appropriate for the scene. Illumination precision has also been increased.

3. Automatic detection of hard color filters attached to the front of the flash head
The SB-910 supports hard color filters because they are more durable, stand up better to the heat generated by the flash head, and are easier to use than the gel color filters supported by its predecessor. One incandescent filter and one fluorescent filter are supplied with the SB-910.

Additional SB-910 features and functions

Guide number of 34/111.5 (at ISO 100, m/ft., 35-mm zoom head position, in FX format, standard illumination pattern) for high flash output volume
Fully compatible with the Nikon Creative Lighting System
Power zoom function with which the SB-910 automatically adjusts the zoom head position to match lens focal length

DX format, Standard illumination pattern : 12–200 mm (10 mm with the built-in wide panel in place)

Marco Simoncelli Crash, MOTOGP Sepang Canceled

2011-10-23T06:13:00.000-07:00

My sympathies and deepest condolences for Marco Simoncelli's family

The race was stopped immediately with the red flag and Simoncelli was transported by ambulance to the circuit medical centre where the medical staff worked to resuscitate him.

Race Direction press conference: Marco Simoncelli
Paul Butler opened the press conference, saying: “The purpose of this press conference is to apprise you of the circumstances that resulted in the tragic death of Marco Simoncelli. You know who we all are, the Race Direction; Claude Danis who is the FIM representative, Javier Alonso the Dorna representative, Franco Uncini the riders’ representative, and I’m Paul Butler the IRTA representative and Race Director. Michele Macchiagodena is our Medical Director and he will explain to you the circumstances that resulted in this death.”

Michele Macchiagodena said: “I’m very sad to be here to report about the death of Marco Simoncelli, a friend. Because of the crash he had during the race, in which he was hit by other riders, he suffered a very serious trauma to the head, to the neck and the chest. When our medical staff got to him he was unconscious. In the ambulance because there was a cardiac arrest they started CPR (cardiac pulmonary resuscitation). Immediately in the Medical Centre, with the help also of the Doctor of our staff at the Clinica Mobile and local Doctors, he was intubated and it was possible to take off some blood from the thorax. The CPR was continued for 45 minutes because we tried to help him for as long as we thought it was possible. Unfortunately it was not possible to help him and at 16:56 (local time) we had to declare he was dead.”

Paul Butler responded to a question about Marco Simoncelli’s helmet coming off in the crash by saying: “I think if I may reply, that will be for another occasion. Quite clearly the consequences and circumstances surrounding the accident will be thoroughly investigated.”

Answering a question about the condition of Colin Edwards, who was involved in the incident, Michele Macchiagodena said: “He had a dislocation of the shoulder and with anaesthesia the shoulder now is in the correct position. He is fine.”

Paul Butler concluded the press conference by adding: “Our sympathies go to his family and we want to show every respect possible to Marco.”

7 Foods That Make You Looks Younger

2011-09-08T18:45:00.000-07:00

1. Avocado and Other Good Fats
Avocado has a lot of things going for it not the least of which is its fat content. You’ll notice that as you age those with little flesh on the body, especially in the face, begin to age faster. A little flesh keeps us looking younger. Bathe yourself in good fats like olive oil and avocado. If you’re concerned with cutting the fat, focus on the bad fats like lard and excessive amounts of butter.

2. Water-Based Fruits and Vegetables
Hydration is a big part of looking young because it helps that skin retain moisture. When the skin is dehydrated it lays flatter on the body and wrinkles begin to show. This means not only drinking loads of water, but also making sure that you’re loading up on water heavy fruits and vegetables. Some really good choices include watermelon, cucumber, and citrus fruits.

3. Guava
Guava is great for your skin because it’s loaded with vitamin C. According to the Dr. Oz Show, it has 4 times as much as citrus fruits. Vitamin C serves as the body’s natural Botox, keeping your skin cells full and wrinkle-free.

4. Oysters
Depending on type and variety oyster, they provide 16 to 182 mg of zinc per 100g serving, according to Healthalicious. This accounts for 110 to 1200 percent of the RDA for zinc. Zinc serves to repair damage done to skin cells. So if you spent too much time out in the sun as a child and caused problems for your skin, zinc can prepare it.

5. Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes have beta-carotene, which is known to balance your skin’s pH, helps combat dryness, and promotes cell turnover, all resulting in smoother skin. Combining good fats like coconut or olive oil with beta-caratene makes it even more effective.

6. Seasonal Berries
Berries are among the highest is antioxidant content. Berries like blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries have some of the highest antioxidant capacity. These antioxidants fight the free radicals that cause wrinkling on the skin.

7. Omega Fatty Acids Oil
“Essential fatty acids are responsible for healthy cell membranes, which is not only what act as barriers to harmful things but also as the passageway for nutrients to cross in and out and for waste products to get in and out of the cell,” Ann Yelmokas McDermott, PhD, a nutritionist at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston told WebMd.

Omega 3 is made up of three acids EPA, DHA, and ALA. ALA can be found in hemp seeds, flax seeds, and chia seeds. DHA and EPA are found in algae, spirulina, blue-green algae, and chlorella. Omega 6′s are found in many vegetarian foods including olive oil, whole grains, and avocados.

Top 10 Electric Cars Most Likely to Succeed

2011-09-05T08:00:00.000-07:00

The crystal ball is still cloudy on electric and plug-in hybrid cars. They’re still being made in limited numbers, and delivered to very specific test markets. And half the really exciting ones aren’t even here yet. Still, it’s time to make some predictions about what will succeed and what will fail in the marketplace. Here are my top 10 leading candidates:

1. Chevy Volt: GM’s $41,000 plug-in hybrid, soon to have a sister car in the more upscale Cadillac ELR (first seen on the auto show circuit as the Converj in 2009). GM has sold 3,200 so far, but the number doesn’t have much to do with demand — production’s been shut down as the company gears up for a capacity of 60,000 a year by 2012.

2. Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid: With an all-electric range of nine to 13 miles, after which it’s a regular Prius, this car should find a lot of fans.

3. Nissan Leaf: Some 4,000 have been sold so far in the U.S., and East Coast customers are still waiting patiently. The price is going up for 2012 — to $38,000 for the SL trim that most customers will want.

4. Tesla Model S: Due next year, this $49,990 electric sedan is half the price of the exotic Roadster, but it has far more utility. On the same platform, Tesla will also offer a Model X crossover that should sell really well.

5. Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid: There is now downside to plug-in hybrids, except maybe their price. This one is headed for the market in 2012, and with 500 miles of range it should be a really practical, fun-to-own car.

6. Ford Focus electric/Toyota RAV4 electric (tie): Take your pick. The 2012 Focus (pictured at top) is an electric version of the redesigned Focus small car, best used as a city car with an 80-mile range. It should offer good performance — celebrities raced them on Jay Leno’s show! The RAV4 is being built with Tesla, and it continues the electric career of the popular crossover (which was briefly on the market around the turn of the millennium as a competitor for the GM EV1).

7. Fisker Karma: After many delays, the Karma is finally on the market, or at least the first set of keys has been handed to Leonardo DiCaprio, with Colin Powell and Al Gore in the wings. The Karma is a $100,000 plug-in hybrid with Italian supercar good looks (though the BMW veteran designer is actually a Dane). This car has serious glamor going for it, but it has to perform up to the hype.

8. Honda Fit/Toyota iQ city electrics (tie): I love subcompacts, and they make great bases for inexpensive electric cars. These two (both headed for production in 2012) should be evenly matched, and go head to head. I’m really hoping for low prices on these two cars — under $30,000 would be nice, even if it means a smaller battery pack and less than 100 miles of range.

9. BMW i3 Megacity Vehicle: BMW was an early player in the space with its lively Mini-based electric vehicles, and its successor, a plug-in version of the 1-Series. The 2013 BMW i3 is the company’s first all-electric platform, and it’s headed for the road in the world’s super-crowded cities (hence the name). The concept makes sense, since that’s where the world’s population is headed, but only if the price is kept low enough so the middle class (instead of just the super-rich) can afford it.

10. Porsche 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid: Speaking of the super-rich, this car will cost $845,000. Porsche will build just 918 of them when it debuts on Sept. 18, 2013. (They’re into numerology at Porsche.) But even if they sell only a few of them, at that price the company will make money — and reap acres of publicity and the cover of every car magazine.

Nikon COOLPIX S8200, S6200, S100, S1200pj, AW100/AW100s

2011-08-24T06:22:00.000-07:00

NIKON COOLPIX S8200

The S8200 is the successor to the S8100, which was extremely well received as a high-power zoom camera. The S8200 is a high-spec compact digital camera equipped with a backside illumination CMOS image sensor offering an effective pixel count of 16.1-million pixels, and a 14x optical zoom lens that covers a broad range of focal lengths, beginning at the wide-angle 25 mm (equivalent in 35mm [135] format). Despite these incredible features, the S8200 is roughly the same size as its predecessor. In addition to new features such as Target finding AF, with which the user need simply point the camera at the intended subject and the camera automatically detects that subject and focuses on it, and Smile timer continuous, with which the camera automatically detects smiling faces and captures up to five shots at the moment the human subject smiles, the S8200 offers the functions and performance users have come to expect including continuous shooting, support for recording of full-HD movies and high-speed response. All of these features help to ensure certain capture of every photo opportunity that presents itself.

NIKON COOLPIX S6200

The S6200 is a stylish model that, despite being equipped with a 10x optical zoom NIKKOR lens, has a slim, compact and elegant body. In addition to offering excellent basic performance with superior image quality and high-speed response, the S6100 is equipped with four features—less noise at high sensitivities, Motion detection function, lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function, flash control system—that enable capture of beautiful nighttime shots. The S6200 is also equipped with a hand-held/tripod night landscape detection function that enables it to automatically distinguish between hand-held shooting and shooting with the camera mounted on a tripod to provide the optimum response to shooting conditions regardless of lighting levels, making successful capture of blur-free night landscapes even easier. What's more, Special effects mode for shooting and Filter effects for editing photos already taken allow you to create artistic photos and movies never before possible.

NIKON COOLPIX S100

As successor to the S80, the S100 is a compact digital camera with an image sensor offering 16.0-million effective pixels and a widescreen 3.5-inch, approximately 820k-dot OLED touch panel monitor with wide viewing angle for high-definition, high-contrast rendering. Various improvements to touch panel operation since the S80 have enabled more stress-free, intuitive operation. Adoption of a backside illumination CMOS image sensor, which offers superior performance when shooting at high sensitivities, suppresses the noise that often occurs with capture of night landscapes and dimly lit indoor scenes. In addition, support for recording of full-HD movies and a new 3D photography scene mode have been adopted to make photography with the camera more fun and the resulting images more beautiful. Despite these new features, the S100 still maintains the slim body and sharp, stylish design emphasizing portability of its predecessor.

European Professional Lens 2011-2012 - Canon EF 70-300mm F4-5.6L IS USM
The Canon EF 70-300mm F4-5.6L IS USM is an amazing telephoto zoom lens that combines high image quality with an extremely durable construction and a surprisingly compact design. It sets a new standard for this popular zoom range with its professional autofocus performance and the latest generation of Image Stabilization, but is still affordable for the enthusiast. Throughout the zoom range the lens shows optical qualities that are in line with fixed focal length lenses - it performs very well even at its widest aperture, and the environmental shield protects it from moisture and dust.

European Compact System Lens 2011-2012 - Samsung NX 20-50mm F3.5-5.6 ED i-Function
When you have chosen to buy a camera because it is small it is important that the lenses that you use are also small. In this new category it is not true that all optics are as compact as the bodies on which they fit, but here Samsung has produced a very useful set of standard focal lengths in a form that is actually pocketable. It is not enough just to be small, of course, and this is a lens that produces exceptional image quality throughout its aperture and zoom ranges. Samsung’s i-Function is an important feature of this lens and allows the user to access the main mode settings of the camera just by pressing the button on the lens barrel. The lens collapses when not in use to make itself really compact, but expands to become a highly efficient optic capable of very high resolution.

European Lens 2011-2012 - Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM
In the 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM, Sigma has produced a telephoto zoom lens that offers professional features and exceptionally good image quality at a very reasonable price. Even at the maximum aperture of F2.8 the lens delivers excellent sharpness and, combined with an effective image stabilizer (OS) and fast, silent autofocus (HSM), it is well suited to demanding photographic subjects such as nature, sports and documentary. Available with fittings for most camera brands, and covering APS-C and full-frame sensors, this lens is a perfect choice for both demanding amateurs and professional photographers.

European Zoom Lens 2011-2012 - Tamron AF 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD
This compact zoom lens is an excellent tool for travel photographers, who can now carry a single all-in-one zoom lens instead of the multiple lenses that would normally be needed to cover this range of focal lengths. Designed for the popular APS-C sensor format, it delivers a focal range that is suitable for anything from landscapes to wildlife photography. The lens is small and light, and the main zoom ring is comfortable and easy to operate. The maximum aperture at the wide-angle end is well suited for working in low-light conditions or when a shallow depth of field is required, and Tamron’s new piezoelectric motor achieves near-silent autofocus.

European Camera 2011-2012 - Canon EOS 600D
The Canon EOS 600D is a good-value camera that has a very strong set of features and customisable functions. The excellent resolution and its low-noise characteristics even at high ISO settings make it an extremely desirable model to amateur photographers. This new EOS generation offers Full HD video, a larger, more comfortable grip, an external microphone socket, wireless flash control, good dynamic range, an articulated LCD screen and a host of beginner-friendly features that make advanced picture quality easier to achieve.

European Advanced SLR Camera 2011-2012 - Nikon D7000
At the head of Nikon’s semi-professional line of cameras, the D7000 is packed with the high-end features it inherited from the company’s D300 and D300S models. The solid body offers high-speed autofocus, a bright 3-inch LCD, dust control, dual SDXC card slots and Full HD Video. An exceptionally good noise-control system means the 16.2-million-pixel-sensor can be used at ISO 3200 and still produce high quality, clean images - even at ISO 12800 noise is not much of an issue. This is a camera that can give amateur photographers professional-looking images.

European Compact System Camera 2011-2012 - Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G3
The LUMIX DMC-G3 is a very small interchangeable-lens camera, which, as it is fitted with a built-in flash and an electronic viewfinder, is as easy to use indoors as it is outside on a sunny day. The camera offers excellent image quality, and it is capable of resolving very fine details and working in low light without producing excessive image noise. A new contrast-detection autofocus system finds and tracks the subject very quickly, and the responsive touch-screen allows not only focus pin-pointing, but also touching the subject can trigger the camera’s shutter to take the picture.

European Professional Camera 2011-2012 - Pentax 645D
With the introduction of the Pentax 645D, the medium-format market has gained a much anticipated and highly competitive member that offers exceptional image-quality and handling. The 645D is a joy to use in the field, and although it is big and somewhat heavy, its ergonomic grip, large viewfinder, fast and accurate autofocus, and well-made controls make it perfectly usable without a tripod. With its 33x44mm, 40-million-pixel, Kodak CCD-sensor it is a landscape photographer’s dream, creating absolutely stunningly sharp and detailed pictures with very attractive colours and a huge dynamic range. As a serious photographer’s tool, the Pentax 645D is second to none.

When to Use Higher ISOs

2011-08-15T19:53:00.000-07:00

Here are some examples of when you might want to set a higher ISO sensitivity. in every case, set the lowest ISO that will enable you to use the settings that you need

Shooting handheld at dusk or on overcast days when it isn't bright enough to use a shutter speed higher than 1/60 sec with your standard lens. (At speeds slower than this the risk of camera shake becomes greater.)
When you are using telephoto lens and there is not enough light to use a shutter speed that us at least as high as the focal length your lens is set to. (For example, if using a lens set to 200mm, the shutter speed should be at least 1/200 sec to reduce the risk of camera shake)
When photographing fast-moving subject and the light isn't bright enough to use a shutter speed quick engough to freeze the motion.
When using flash and the flashgun isn't powerful enogh to correctly expose your subject - either becaouse it's so dark or your subject is too far away.
When you're shooting indoor, and flash is either prohibited, or would be obtrusive (such as at a live performance) or would destroy the atmosphere created by the ambient lighting.
When you need to use a small aperture to create a wide a depth of field, but doing so gives a shutter speed that;s too slow to handhold.

Lighting Versus Composition

2011-07-28T00:42:00.000-07:00

There’s a lot of “versus” in photography. We can talk about one brand of gear versus another, one type of software application versus another, and even point to discussions about one genre of photography versus another. Canon versus Nikon, Photoshop versus Aperture, architecture versus landscape. it’s a never-ending onslaught of discussion points. Truthfully, it’s often tough to keep up with all of the different elements (for lack of a better phrase) associated with the craft.

We always seem drawn to discussions and pieces that talk about one element versus another. The ones that I always find most engaging are discussions that look at one subjective feature versus another. When we start looking inward and asking ourselves “why” we take images, “how” to capture images, and all this sort-of esoteric stuff, I think that’s when we finally have incorporated all the technical sundry stuff into our brains

At this point, we’re ready to be inspired! The “versus” questions here really start to become staggering though, so rather than tackle the minutia of various psychologies of photography, one of the most fundamental ones to ask as you venture toward introspection is that of lighting versus composition. While it’s arguable that each is of such critical importance in the success of a photo, and that each could stand on its own as the “element of success”, both can be powerful factors that contribute to the overall impact in photographs. So, which one should you put your attention to? Better yet, which one comes more naturally? It’s an interesting question, and one that I’ve teased a little in various outlets, including the blog, and the podcast.

The fundamental principle behind this discussion is that something has to draw your eye or catch your attention; thus inspiring you to capture the moment. The question then is - Which was it that inspired you, the lighting or the composition? Clearly, depending on the shot, it could be one or the other, and sometimes it can even be a combination of both. The laugh of a girl in the afternoon “golden hours” can be a perfect example of an instance where both elements factor into what is catching your eye.

Often, the driving motivation behind an image could simply be the light. In the garage scene displayed above, I walked into the building and instantly saw the rays of light (I even ended up titling the image that way). Once I saw the light, it was then up to me to decide how to compose it. Nevertheless, the light itself was the point of inspiration.

The other instance I recall was a sunrise on Bull Island in South Carolina. The scene is a landscape and was created after several scouting trips, using something often referred to as pre-visualization, and then a ton of research. I saw a scene, was moved to capture it, then took the time to both decide how I wanted it lit, and then doing the legwork to ensure the lighting matched what I wanted to get in my own minds eye.

So initially, the whole versus idea is kind of turned on its head here because the answer is clearly one of “it depends,” right? Well, yes and no. Sure, inspiration can come from one area and we can then mentally work our way through the other element of the image, but this presumes two important things:

We are aware of these two fundamental characteristics of photography: lighting and composition. They are not (nor should they be) interpreted as being mutually exclusive.
We are equally capable of approaching the craft from either tactic, and then filling in the remainder.

The simple fact of the matter is, even when you think you are stating something so obvious that everyone should know about it, sometimes that just is not the case. Stating that lighting and composition are the two cornerstones of good photography is a logical thing to say, but as you explore it further one can see that there is much more to it than a simple statement of fact. I’ve often found myself after reading inspirational works saying, “Well, that made sense. Why didn’t I think of that before?”

On the second point, the other notion we have to come to terms with is that different people think in different ways. We take for granted that people can “see” things our way. But the truth of the matter is that each vision is unique, and no two sets of eyes will always see things identically. Some will be more attuned to the lighting, while others will be more attuned to the composition. Whichever is your forte, great! Run with that! But it also means that you will need to be cognizant that the other (since it’s not a forte) is something you will have to work at if you want to get better.

So, getting back to the original thrust; that of lighting and composition in imagery. Believe it or not, some subjects are more prone to one end of the spectrum, while others lead you in the opposite direction. If it’s tough for you to visualize which way you “lean” by these abstract terms, take a look at these categories:

People – When push comes to shove, capturing people (portraiture) is really about more than the face or how you have them positioned. The composition is not nearly
as impactful as the lighting is in portraits. Take a look at a few photos of people in both good and bad light, then at photos of people that are well composed versus some that aren’t the best in the world. By and large, the well-lit ones will be dramatically different from the poorly lit ones. Good lighting can bring out the personality in ways that composition can’t even come close to, whereas lack of composition in photos can be compensated for if you’ve got the light perfect. This assumes of course that the other elements of the photo are there – you can see the face, eyes are in focus, etc.

Places - Places, on the other hand, are far more dependent on composition. If you take a good landscape, you’ll notice certain things are always lined up in some way. Whether it’s the Rule of Thirds, the Golden Mean, Sunny 16, or other such compositional approaches are used, these exist simply because they work and it’s never more evident than in landscape photography. Does lighting help? Absolutely,but without the fundamentals of composition, all the good light in the world won’t make a badly composed image great.

Things – Surprise, with “things,” it gets a bit trickier because here you actually do need a better sense of both lighting and composition. If one is off, the image as
a whole is likely impacted. Underexposed images here can be dreadful, as can the wrong angle or composition. If you tend to enjoy taking pictures of things, be prepared to develop a keen sense of both lighting and composition.

So, what does this tell us? Firstly, if you tend to take good pictures of people, you likely have a natural knack for lighting. Alternatively, if you tend to take good pictures of locations, your compositional skills are probably more-easily grasped. Finally, “things” (think product photography and studio work) require the most
breadth and depth of skills; you need to have a pretty good sense of both.

No matter how you slice it, the bottom line of all of this is that both lighting and composition are skills that evolve with practice. It’s only with practice that you can develop both a sense of the light needed in a scene, and the scene needed to give relevance to the light. So, without further ado – get out and practice!

Tips or guidelines when take Nature/Wildlife picture

Don't make sudden moves. Any sudden move will startle the animal and it will cause it to flee.
Don't approach the animal in a straight line. As soon the animal sees you, it considers you as danger. hence the best solution here is to make the animal feel that you are not a danger to it. Walk away from the animal, and let the animal see you walking away. let the animal feel that you are not interestes in it. So, in short. zic-zac your path. Whenever it notices you, walk away so it can see you moving away, and when you and the animal are not in each others line of sight, move towards the animal as silently as you can.
Camouflage. It helps to wear clothes that blend into the surroundings. Imagine wearing a bright yellow shirt in the wilderness!
Maintain silence. This is very important. Animals have a superior sense of hearing, and will become alert at the slightest sound of you talking with your friends.
Try to approach an animal against the wind. Most animals have a keen of smell and if the wind blows from your direction to the animal, it will immediately smeel you and know your presence. Hence try to approach it in such a way that the wind blows from tahe animal towards you.
Avoid perfumes/after-shaves/lipsticks. If you wear it, It will smell you even before you can come reasonably close to it.
Use a hide if possible. If you have planned in advance, consider shooting from a well-camouflaged hide.
Point to consider when setting up your hide. Animals (remember, this includes birds) are vary of strange items. if they suddenly see a hide where none existed earlier, they will grow suspicious.
Subject welfare. Remember, the welfare of the subject is your respomsibility.

Photograph an Art Show (Improve Your Photography)

2011-07-12T18:20:00.000-07:00

Every spring or summer, my area is booked with art shows. One of the most popular in the country is the Ann Arbor Art Show, which takes place every July. There are also numerous art shows which take place in almost every major community. You can go to different shows every weekend of the summer, and never run out of shows to visit. Quite often, I'll know one or two of the photographers displaying and selling their artwork, another incentive to go.

I like to go to as many art shows as I can for two reasons. First, as a photographer, I like to view other photographers work, and talk with them. I consider myself an artist, and a great way to expand your artistic horizons is to talk to other artists! Its one of the ways I learn, and it gets me in touch with others with similar interests. The second reason I enjoy art shows, is the diversity in subject matter in which I can take photographs. I always bring one of my digital cameras with me.

While at the art show, I'll photograph whatever the day presents to me. It may be a closeup of a sculpture from an artist, it may be one of the musical artists that is performing, or it may be one of the other people enjoying the fair that day. No preconceived agenda, just going with the flow, and photographing as I go. With that in mind, here are a few suggestions I have for you when you visit art shows, and carry your camera with you:

When photographing other artists work, ask permission first. Ask the artist for their business card (this is important), and explain to them you're just enjoying the day, and like to photograph people and artwork. If the artist agrees, let them know that if you ever publish any of the photographs that you'll first contact them and ask them for a release. This is of respect for other artists and their work. If the artists objects, thank them, tell them you understand, and move on to the next booth.
If the artists gives you permission, thank them. You can even take their photograph in front of their booth, and email them a copy as a gesture of gratitude. Shoot for color and abstracts. Personally, I am constantly adding to my abstract and color-study portfolios. Shooting close ups of artwork is one of my sources for these types of images. Don't be afraid to get in close on sculptures and other pieces of art. You'll be pleasantly surprised at some of the images you'll get.
Watch the people. Take a look around, and fire off some candid's of interesting people attending the art fair.

Carry a Camera Wherever You Go (Improve Your Photography)

2011-07-10T18:30:00.000-07:00

Carry a Camera Wherever You Go

The way to become a better photographer and get the most from your digital camera is to just use the thing. Take it with you wherever you go. Get used to carrying it around and shooting some images. Get over that embarrassed feeling of taking pictures of things when other people are around. Just ignore them, or better yet, take their picture! As a bonus, you then have more images to play with when you begin to edit them in Photoshop or Elements, or which ever image editing software you’ll use.

I was doing a consulting gig a few years back for General Motors in downtown Detroit. Often during lunch breaks, I'd take a walk around the downtown area, carrying one
of my digital cameras. I was able to get many good shots of the unique architecture the downtown area offers. I wouldn't have that opportunity if I didn't carry a camera with me each day I was working on my GM Web project. At that time, the Super Bowl was in town, February 2006, with the press center for the week being held at Detroit's Renaissance Center, the home of General Motors World Headquarters. The entire media, sports and celebrity world converged in the building where I was spending all my time. Great opportunity for shots I normally wouldn't have a chance to get.

I wasn't planning on photographing anything in particular, actually, I didn't have the time. I was working on a large Web project and deadlines were looming. What I did manage to do was walk around the huge spectacle, and fire off a few shots worth keeping. One in particular, was of Aaron Neville, who was to sing the National Anthem before the game. I caught him in the hallway after one of his many press interviews. Summary: If you're like me, you may have a few digital SLR's that aren't too convenient to carry around or leave in a car all day long. What I do, is carry a compact digital camera, one with quality such as the Canon G11 or the Nikon Coolpix P6000 Both of these cameras will serve you well, and fit into a pocket, purse, briefcase or backpack.

How to find Len's Optimal Aperture?

2011-07-05T23:00:00.000-07:00

Optimum Aperture
Every Lens, however cheap, has one particular aperture that produces the sharpest result at the point of focus. This aperture is known as the optimum aperture. When critical sharpness is required, use the optimum aperture to get the maximum sharpness the lens is capable, at the focus point.

How to find the Len's Optimal Aperture? (This assuming that your lens focuses accurately)

Stick a large printed paper on the wall. Set up the camera on a good tripod and carefully align it so that the sensor is perfectly parallel to the paper.
Taking extra care not to shake the tripod, take shots at every possible aperture.
Check the images side by side on a computer screen. The sharpest text indicates the optimal aperture of that lens.

Shoot With a Fixed 50mm F/1.8

This one is for all the DSLR users out there. If you’re still using a compact digital camera (and that’s fine!), keep this in mind when you upgrade to your favorite DSLR; use a fixed 50mm f/1.8 lens for your digital camera. I say this for a few reasons, the most important of which, is image quality for the dollar. I’ve used both the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Both lenses work remarkably well.

If I’m shooting with one of my Nikon DSLR’s or my Canon, I always have a 50mm f/1.8 lens in my bag. I use some good lenses, but these little guys usually rate at the top when it comes to quality. Additionally, the lenses are tack-sharp whether you’re shooting wide open at f/1.8 or closed down to f/22. Additionally, my 50mm f/1.8 is one of my favorite portrait lenses. Teamed up with a DSLR sensor with a 1.5X or higher crop factor (like you’ll find in the Nikon D90, Canon 50D, Canon Digital Rebel and most digital SLR cameras that aren’t full frame), you get an actual 75mm portrait lens. If you’re using a full frame sensor DSLR, you’re getting the standard lens.

In any case, you’re getting top quality for about $100 USD. That’s quite a bargain given the quality you’ll get with these lenses. In this example, I used my second camera that I carry when shooting the occasional wedding. A Nikon D80 fit with the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens. I shot without flash, hand held, through a window. After getting the images from the wedding into Lightroom for a closer look, I was amazed at the color and sharpness of the lens. I like to shoot my portraits with this lens whenever possible.

In addition to shooting portraits, weddings and candid photo's with a 50mm f/1.8, I like to shoot my still life and flowers with the lens. In studio or outdoor situation, it’s my best flower lens.

The positives:

Tack Sharp: Due to the fact that the manufacturers of these lenses don't have to add a lot of glass to be used for zooming through a large range, the design is fixed, and simple.
Value For the Money: For around $100 U.S., you just can't beat the dollar-for-quality value of these lenses.
Small and Lightweight: Both the Canon and Nikon models are small and weigh about ½ of your kit lens.

Drawbacks:

No Zoom: We're spoiled these days. In the past, when we shot with fixed focal length lenses with our film cameras, we did zoom, but we did it by “using our feet”.

In summary, if you're a DSLR user and you don't have one of these little babies, give it a try. The cost of the lens is minimal, and the benefit of tack-sharp images far outweigh the negative of not being able to go wide-angle to telephoto in one lens.

Dani Pedrosa Back To Race (motoGP) GP Mugello 2011

2011-07-01T02:15:00.000-07:00

Dani Pedrosa’s relief at his return after missing the past three Grands Prix through injury was clear, and the Repsol Honda rider is excited at being back on his factory RC212V machine at a track at which he won last year’s race from pole position.

“It’s been strange to be at home watching the races, it’s been a difficult time but it’s passed and I’m here now,” said the Spaniard. “I’m looking forward to this year’s Grand Prix, I won here last year.”

He continued: “It will be hard for me because it’s just two weeks since the last surgery and this track is very demanding physically, it’s going to be a challenge and I will try to have a good weekend. I hope to get more comfortable on the bike and improve step by step.”

AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G

2011-04-26T21:43:00.000-07:00

A bright and fast, normal 50mm fixed focal length lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.8

TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G, a fast, normal 50mm fixed focal length (prime) lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.8 that is compatible with Nikon FX-format digital-SLR cameras.

The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G offers the pleasing blur characteristics and three-dimensional rendering capabilities possible only with a fixed focal length (prime) lens at a very reasonable price. A new optical design that enables f/1.8 maximum aperture brightness and utilizes an aspherical lens element has been adopted for this lens, which achieves superior rendering performance for excellent image quality even with shooting in dimly lit indoor settings. The built-in Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures quiet autofocus operation. What's more, the SWM means that autofocus shooting is also possible when the lens is used with entry-level Nikon DX-format digital-SLR cameras such as the D5100 and D3100, which are not equipped with an autofocus drive motor.

Nikon has long had the support of professional and advanced amateur photographers for its consistent development of innovative products that respond to the demands of users and are equipped with the optical technologies Nikon has spent years cultivating as a manufacturer of optical devices. Nikon intends to continue to expand and strengthen the NIKKOR lineup with the steady release of new, high-performance lenses that offer advanced functions.
