Learning Photography - Basics For All
Photography is defined as 'The art or process of producing images by the action of light on
surfaces sensitized by chemical processes.'
Of course, this is landscape photography on a big scale. Not many people are lucky enough
to start off traveling the world.
The earlier model did not contain the film; instead, it had a small light-shield box with lens
and translucent screen on either side. The image that traveled through the lens was stored
on the screen. Known as 'camera obscura,' it was no more than a sketching device for
artists.
There are different ways of finding photography jobs, depending on the type of job you are
looking for and your experience. You can begin by creating a resume and portfolio of your
work.
Learning Photography
Are you interested in taking up photography? If you are relatively new to photography, then
here are some tips that will help you learn about photography and its many different
qualities.
The camera
When choosing a camera, you should keep in mind that whatever kind of camera you buy, it
won't necessairily affect the final image. There are certain factors that will affect your final
product regardless of camera brand. They are:
- the quality of the expected final image.
- will the image be magnified before being viewed?
- will the subject carry the whole focus of the shot?
- the time alloted to take the picture
It is also important to keep in mind that cameras work at varying speeds. This will prove to
be crucial depending on the subject that you will be shooting. When taking a picture of your
son or daughter while they are playing, you may opt to use an automatic camera to avoid all
the fuss of making adjustments with regards to aperture, focus, lighting, etc. But if you are
going to take a picture of a mountain view, then you have all the time to use a manual
camera.
Lighting conditions

2. There are so many ways that photography crosses our lives each day. There are a lot of
opportunities for someone looking for photography jobs.
Whatever your reasons, a photography contest can be a fun and rewarding experience for
you. To find out all you need to know about entering a photography contest, read on.
There are some excellent photography contests out there, some even offer large cash
prizes, scholarships to photography schools and really nice cameras and camera supplies.
Modern photography has given a totally new meaning to the entire perception of life and
privacy. Photography has made it possible to capture and preserve special moments, in
private and in public life.
Taking portraits under the sun may present some problems. Because of the sunlight's
hardness, dark shadows will may appear in the shot. To solve this problem, you can move
the subject to a position under the shade to be able to use skylight instead of sunlight.
Skylight is less concentrated than sunlight. Another thing that can be done is for you to take
the picture during the last few minutes during sunrise or sunset. Sunlight is mouch more
mellow during these times. If you have the equipment such as diffusers as well as
reflectors, they will do a good job to make the shot more vibrant. The use of artificial lighting
or a flash is also ideal if you know the proper way and time to use them. Avoid using the
flash during sunrise and sunset since the resulting picture will look rather clammy or cold.
Exposure
There are no such things as correct exposure. It is really up to you and your artistic
preferences how your picture will turn out. The environment contains many tones which
can't be fully represented using film. Some of the details might get lost depending on the
picture as well as the film used.
These are some of the things that you should remember while taking pictures. As you take
more and more pictures, your skills will become sharper and you will be able to use more of
your creativity.
If you love taking pictures and the idea of a career in photography sounds good to you, just
how do you begin finding photography jobs?
The world of photography is an amazing one. It's been with us for quite a while now but it is
constantly changing. Cameras are changing and improving. Methods of developing are
changing and improving as well.
You may be amateur but if you are entering a photography contest, you are competing with
the best of the best. You are going to need your photos to be excellent if you expect to win.

This does not mean go out and shotgun blast everything you see. You still want to keep in
mind the need to have a reason (theme) for taking a photography - think about how to focus
attention on it, removing what distracts from your theme, and adding whatever attracts or

3. highlights your theme, to make it a great photograph.

Learning Photoshop: Learn The Difference Between Canvas And Image Size
What happens if I change the canvas size? I want to print my photo as a 5x7 print. Should I
change the image size or the canvas size?
These are common questions among beginners who are just learning to use Photoshop.
Many who are just learning to use Adobe Photoshop often are confused by the differences
in the canvas size and image size functions.
The ability to adjust the canvas size is just one of the many features available in Adobe
Photoshop that puts the user in control of every aspect of the digital image editing process.
While there is much more too it, changing the canvas size essentially creates more work
space by adding extra pixels to the total image. There are many ways you can use the
canvas and image size functions to make your digital image editing work easier.
Not only can you change the size of the canvas but you can also change the canvas color.
This function can be used to create frames or borders around your images. In addition,
there are many other more advanced techniques for using the canvas size and image size
functions.
As with all of the features and functions of Photoshop, the most important thing to keep in
mind is that you take the time to learn how to properly use Photoshop's image and canvas
size functions before you jump into a photo-editing project.
Photoshop is not nearly as difficult to learn as many might think but it does require that you
learn proper techniques. While with many lesser quality photo editing programs you can
sometimes get by with trial and error, Photoshop is not that easy to just jump in and create
professional quality graphic work without some knowledge.

4. With that being said, once you learn Photoshop there will be no limitations to what you can
create.
