Tutorien: Peter Cox on Depth of Field |
|
Of all the topics I cover in my workshops,
I find that depth-of-field is the one that tends to confuse people the
most. Using it properly is one of the fundamental skills a good
photographer must master.
What follows is a slightly simplified explanation of depth-of-field
and focus. I have not taken camera movements into account as most
people reading this won't be using such techniques. It will suffice to
give a good working knowledge of the concepts to someone who is just
being introduced to them. Read More

Tutorien : How To Shoot Panoramic Landscapes |
|
Shooting panoramic
landscapes keeps getting easier.
You don’t need special equipment,
and virtually any camera will work. I
like to shoot a sequence of verticals
using a telephoto lens, then stitch
them together in software. The long
focal length delivers much more detail
than a single wide-angle capture, and
you’re still rewarded with a sweeping
view. Here’s how, step by step.

Tutorien : Graduated Neutral Density Filters |
|
A frequent question to landscape photographers is: "What filter did you use in that photograph?" This is usually because the person doesn't believe the colours and tones in the photograph are real, and thinks that the photographer has used one of the many 'effect' filters on the market to achieve the result.
The truth is that no filter can substitute for being in the right place at the right time to capture the most spectacular light. That's not to say that filters aren't important, however. Properly used, filters allow the photographer to capture a scene that would be virtually impossible to photograph otherwise. I'm talking about those known as graduated neutral density filters, sometimes also referred to as split neutral density.

Tutorien : The Histogram explained |
|
The image histogram is one of the most powerful tools available to a digital photographer and, to the beginner, one of the toughest to grasp. The good news is that the histogram is actually very simple to read. Once a few simple concepts are grasped, it will enable you to take much better pictures.
The histogram is a tool for judging exposure. It shows the distribution of tones throughout the image - black on the extreme left, white on the extreme right and shades of gray in between. The amount of each tone is shown by the height of the histogram at that point.
