Silhouette Photography

Hey Viewers today S.A.Y is giving you the details about the best of Silhouette Photography. Enjoy reading it.

A great photograph is no different than any other work of art, in that it should elicit emotion and engage viewers. One of my favorite ways to engage the viewer of a photograph and encourage them to interpret the image is by utilizing silhouettes. 

Silhouettes Engage Viewers

The reason silhouettes are so engaging is because they are so open to interpretation. Think of a silhouette of a man sitting alone on a park bench at sunset. Is he sad and lonely because his wife has passed? Is he relaxed and content? Has he finally achieved an important goal in life? Is he anxious about how much longer he will live, and whether his loved ones will be cared for? Are there religious overtones?

The photographer may have all or none of these themes in mind when creating this image. The interpretation is dictated by the individual viewer’s mindset. The viewer subconsciously projects her own hopes, fears, and mood onto the silhouette.
The reason for this is simple. Your brain is constantly working to fill in the details of what it doesn’t know. In a photo such as this, the silhouette provides a great unknown which we cannot help but interpret.

Technique for Shooting Silhouettes

Taking silhouette photos is an intermediate photography skill. The technique is a little tricky, and it will take some trial and error on your first few attempts before you become proficient.

Silhouette photography requires that we use pure back lighting. That is, we want to place our subject so that we maximize the amount of light in the scene coming from behind the subject.
As an example, let’s describe how we would best set up a shot of a silhouetted woman standing alone on a beach at sunset. Sunlight will be our only source of light, and it will be coming from behind the subject. We will not be utilizing any reflectors or fill flash.

Use Any Subject

Any subject can be rendered as a silhouette provided we are using back lighting. It need not be a person. A silhouette of a tree, or a child’s bike, or any strategically chosen object can add interest to a scene.

Portrait Photography

Hello Friends I am back again with loads of new information about photography. This time I am here with Portrait Photography.

Portrait photography or portraiture is photography of a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject. Like other types of portraiture, the focus of the photograph is usually the person's face, although the entire body and the background or context may be included.

There are many different techniques for portrait photography.This photo was taken by an ABSI official last year using a profesional Nikon SLR . Often it is desirable to capture the subject's eyes and face in sharp focus while allowing other less important elements to be rendered in a soft focus. At other times, portraits of individual features might be the focus of a composition such as the hands, eyes or part of the subject's torso.Additionally another style such as head shot has came out of the portraiture technique and had become a style on its own.

Lenses used in portrait photography are classically fast, medium telephoto lenses, though any lens may be used, depending on artistic purposes. See Canon EF Portrait Lens for Canon lenses in this style; other manufacturers feature similar ranges. The first dedicated portrait lens was the Petzval Lens developed in 1840 by Joseph Petzwal. It had a relatively narrow field of view of 30 degrees, a focal length of 150mm, and a fast f-number in the f/3.3-3.7 range.

History of Photography

Do know When and Where did photography first originate. Today here I am to share it with you.Enjoy reading it.

HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY

The history of photography commenced with the invention and development of the camera and the creation of permanent images starting with Thomas Wedgwood in 1790 and culminating in the work of the French inventor 'Joseph Nicephore Niepce' in 1826.

ETYMOLOGY

The coining of the word "Photography" has been attributed in 1839 to Sir Jhon Herschel based on the Greek φῶς (phos),(genitive: phōtós) meaning "light", and γραφή (graphê), meaning "drawing, writing", together meaning "drawing with light".

DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

The chraged-coupled device (CCD) is the most important invention for digital photography. It was invented in 1969 by Williard Boyle and George Smith at AT&T Bell labs. The lab was working on the Picturephone and on the development of semiconductor bubble memory. Merging these two initiatives, Boyle and Smith conceived of the design of what they termed 'Charge "Bubble" Devices'. The essence of the design was the ability to transfer charge along the surface of a semiconductor.

• 1973 - Fairchild semiconductor releases the first large image forming CCD chip; 100 rows and 100 columns.
• 1975 - Bryce Bayer of Kodak develops the Bayer filter mosaic pattern for CCD color image sensors
• 1986 - Kodak scientists develop the world's first megapixel sensor.

The web has been a popular medium for storing and sharing photos ever since the first photograph was published on the web by sir Tim Berners Lee in 1992 (an image of the CERN house band ). Today popular sites such as Flickr, Picasa and Photobucket are used by millions of people to share their pictures.

The Persians

Do you love cats??? Especially the "Persians". They are indeed on of the cutest dear ones available on this holy earth .This photograph was taken by me using my all new DSLR 'Canon Rebel T4i' selecting priority mode.

The Persian is a long-haired breed of cat characterized by its round face and shortened muzzle. Its name refers to Persia, the former name of Iran, where similar cats are found.
I fell so pleasant looking at this photograph.
