Guido Guidi Exhibition untill Friday afternoon

I strongly recomend you to visit the Guido Guidi exhibition.
Free entrance

 I took this in Cinque Terre. I like how the line of rocks split the image in half and grouped the subject together in the bottom half of the photo.

I took this photo in Cinque Terre. I made the lemon basket the main focus of the photo and used the rule of thirds to throw off the balance of the photo.

I took this photo in Rome. I liked how the lines at the top close in further as it descends down the photo.

kelvin degrees and colors

Kelvin degrees are a way to measure temperature.  Zero kelvin degrees correspond to zero molecular movement.  The particular color seen at a different degrees is called the color temperature.  The lowest light to be registered is red, then yellow, white, and lastly blue.  The yellow light from a tungsten lamp corresponds to 3200 kelvin degrees.  Sun midday is 5500 degrees, while anything over 6000 is slightly blue.

Kelson -- Temperature and Photos

Color Temperature is the hue of a light source in Kelvin degrees.  You can use a Color Temperature to suggest realistic colors for the lights in a 3D scene. Visible colors are relative to the Color Balance (or White Balance) of a film stock or video camera, with the two most common fixed settings being 3200K Indoor color balance, and 5500K Outdoor (Daylight) color balance.

Edward Steichen--grace

Last week I posted a photo by Leonard Freed, a Jewish-American photographer.  Edward Steichen was the director at the Museum of Modern Art and was immediately a fan of Freed's work.  Steichen was also a photographer, and told Freed to retain his amateur style.  Steichen's style is similar to that of Freed.

Color Temperature is a measurement in Degrees Kelvin that indicates the hue of a specific type of light source.  You can use a Color Temperature (as shown in the chart below) to suggest realistic colors for the lights in a 3D scene.

Visible colors are relative to the Color Balance (or White Balance) of a film stock or video camera, with the two most common fixed settings being 3200K Indoor color balance, and 5500K Outdoor (Daylight) color balance.  To pick an RGB value from the chart below, first choose whether your scene would be shot with Indoor or Outdoor film (usually chosen based on the dominant lighting), then find the color corresponding to the type of light source at that color temperature.

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a french photographer who was a photojournalist. As a child he used to do draw and paint. But he would only do three minute sketches. He was a main factor in developing street photography. He started professionally taking up photography in the 1930s and would go out on the streets and capture what was going on. He would go out on the streets for the whole day to hopefully capture something great. He said he was always "on the prowl". He traveled all over Europe to get shots. After many years Henri's photos were getting very high publicity and in the late forties he was considered a Magnum photographer. Henri was mainly known for documenting the greatest of upheavals in the twentieth century.

I took this picture in Trastevere of flowers on the side of a building. I like the depth of field in the photo, and how the branch makes a curving line through the photo that leads to the subject. The F stop is 5.6 and the exposure is 1/60. 

I took this picture across the Tiber from Guarini. I like the repeating arches throughout the photo, and how they asymmetrically complement each other. The F number is 4.5 and the exposure time is 1/50. 

RAW vs JPEG

JPEG – This is a more standard format. JPEG files are processed right within the camera. These files are smaller. While color temperature and exposure are set based on your camera settings when the image is shot, the camera will also process the image to add blacks, contrast, brightness, noise reduction, sharpening (which you can see in the example above) and then render the file to a compressed JPEG. These files are finished and can be viewed and printed immediately after shot.

RAW – RAW files are uncompressed and unprocessed snapshots of all of the detail available to the camera sensor. RAW photos are much larger files. RAW files are unprocessed so they come out looking flat and dark and lower in contrast. RAW images need to be viewed and processed using your camera’s software or in more robust commonly used software like Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture, etc prior to being ready for display or print.

CCD vs CMOS

CMOS and CCD image sensors convert images (light) into electronic signals. CCD sensors are slightly cheaper and are the older, more mature technology. CCD and CMOS sensors are susceptible to different problems — CCD sensors are more susceptible to vertical smear from bright light sources, while CMOS sensors are susceptible to skewing, wobbling and partial exposure. However, neither technology is a clear winner over the other in over all image quality.

CCDs use a global shutter, which exposes the entire image simultaneously. This can lead to blur if any motion occurs in the image during exposure, but a high shutter speed prevents this problem. CMOS sensors are equipped with “rolling shutters,” which expose different parts of the frame at different points in time. This can lead to skew, wobble and partial exposure in photographs.

                                          I took this shot of pinecones while wandering around Campo de Fuori. I admired the fact that the pinecones were so simple and beautiful and were visually appealing. It was hard to shoot this at first because I didn't have a lot of light, but after bumping up the ISO and adjusting the aperature and ISO I was able to capture this.  ISO 200, shutter speed: 1/100, aperature: f/5

                                          This shot was also taken at Campo de Fuori. I took this shot because I liked the action that was going on during this. I like how there are a lot of vibrant colors and there is a lot of motion going on in this shot. ISO 200 shutter speed: 1/40 aperature: f/14

                                         This shot was taken by the American photographer Steve McCurry. The photo was taken in India in 2007. I admire this shot because of its simplistic visual look. I love how the photo is sho simple yet is so interesting. I like how the photo is essentially split into 3 parts, all with different textures and with differences. The child in the middle walking around really stands out to me and makes me wonder, "what is he doing?" "where is he going" "whats going on in his life". I also really like the contrast between the orange wall and the blue wall. The complementary colors go very well together. I really like this image.

A digital sensor is a device that converts an optical image into an electronic signal. It is used mostly in digital cameras, camera modules and other imaging devices. In a CCD sensor, every pixel's charge is transferred through a very limited number of output nodes (often just one) to be converted to voltage, buffered, and sent off-chip as an analog signal. All of the pixel can be devoted to light capture, and the output's uniformity (a key factor in image quality) is high. In a CMOS sensor, each pixel has its own charge-to-voltage conversion, and the sensor often also includes amplifiers, noise-correction, and digitization circuits, so that the chip outputs digital bits.
A JPEG file is a compressed format. In actual fact, the name 'JPEG' refers to a method of image compression rather than a file format, although it has been universally adopted to serve the latter purpose. What it allows is for images, once taken, to be saved at a fraction of their size. A Raw image is often considered as the equivalent of a photographic negative, in that the basic part is there but with the potential for many changes before it is considered final. A Raw file will take up considerably more room, and will slow down any continuous shooting as your camera records the information to the card. 

Opening up your Raw file on a computer will reveal it to be relatively 'flat', with low contrast, poor sharpness and possibly even noise.

These photographs were taken at Sergio Mottura Winery in Umbria. The first photo is Sergio Mottura explaining the kind of grapes he is holding. The second is a Merlot grape in the vineyard.

The first photo was taken at 1/400 of a second and a f/5.6 at ISO 200.
The photo of the grapes was taken at 1/80 of a second with an ISO of 200 and f/7.1

I really liked the color contrast and the way the branches give it dimension.  

RAW vs JPEG

A raw file is uncompressed and has at least 8 bits per color; they are usually higher in dynamic range, lower in contrast, and not as sharp. However, a JPEG is compressed and has exactly 8 bits per color and is usually fairly small in size, lower in dynamic range, higher in contrast, and sharper.

JPEG  are normal digital camera images. Cameras create JPG images from raw image sensor data based on your settings like Sharpness and White Balance. The camera makes the JPG and then the raw data evaporates as soon as the JPG is recorded.

Raw files are just the raw sensor data. It isn't a picture until it is processed further. Most fancy digital cameras allow you to save the raw data instead of the actual JPG picture. If you do, you still have to do the processing in your computer to make an image (JPG or otherwise) that you actually can see. Cameras do this processing in hardware much faster than your computer can do it in software.

 

 

This Magnum photo is of a man in front of a lack in the middle of a forest surrounded by trees and flowers. The nature forms different lines, from curves and triangles to straight and  wavy lines.  

The shadows of the trees cause places to be darker than others.

 (CCD) is a device for the movement of electrical charge, usually from within the device to an area where the charge can be manipulated, for example conversion into a digital value.

CMOS, typically refers to a battery-powered memory chip in your computer that stores startup information. Your computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) uses this information when starting your computer

I like this shot because of the dark mountain in the bottom corner then in the middle of the picture you see two boats going opposite directions with a trail of water. The white contrast with the blue is what made me really enjoy the aesthetics of it.


CCD & CMOS
CCD stands for charged couple device and CMOS stands for Complimentary metal oxide semiconductor. The similarity is that they both take electrons and convert them into light but it differentiates when the light goes into a CCD it utilizes the light signals and changes them from analog into digital. Whereas CMOS actually use transistor chips that move the pixel via traditional wires.


JPEG & RAW
JPEG files are compressed and create a sharper, smaller in size, higher contrast and more "accessible." While on the other hand a RAW image is uncompressed and tends to contain a wider dynamic range to contain all of the initial data obtained from the sensor.

I like how this picture captures the aging and detail of the bricks as well as the blue sky within the arches. 

CCD vs CMOS

CCD, or a charge coupled device, and CMOS, or complementary metal oxide semiconductor are both image sensors found in digital cameras. CCD turns images from analog light signals into digital pixels and takes place in the chip without distortion.  This creates high quality images with low noise. CMOS chips use trasistors at each pixel to move charge through traditional wires. They also need more light to create a low-noise image at the correct exposure

RAW vs JPEG

A raw file is uncompressed and has at least 8 bits per color; they are usually higher in dynamic range, lower in contrast, and not as sharp. However, a JPEG is compressed and has exactly 8 bits per color and is usually fairly small in size, lower in dynamic range, higher in contrast, and sharper.

This picture is of the waves in Grand haven Michigan. I like how you can see the pier in the background and the suns reflection of the water is really interesting.   ISO 400  f/4 1/60

I took picture is taken on the island of Capri this past weekend. I like how you can see the rock formations in the back ground but the pot is one of the main focus points.  ISO 100 f/9 1/320


CCD vs. CMOS

CCD stands for charge coupled device while CMOS stands for complementary metal oxide semiconductor. Both of these sensors do sort of the same thing, they both convert light into electrons. CCD devices have a charge that transports across the chip and is read at one corner of the array. In a CMOS device there are several transistors at each of the pixels that can amplify and move a charge with using more of a traditional wire.

JPEG vs. RAW

JPEG images are processed right within the camera. The camera adds blacks, contrasts, noise reductions, sharpening, and brightness so that you can print it immediately after the shot.
RAW images are uncompressed and unprocessed. So they tend to come out looking flat and dual.
