The document discusses various topics related to photography including:
- The history and science behind how photography works by capturing light on a medium.
- Different genres and subjects of photography like portraits, landscapes, nature photos.
- Tips for black and white photography including using contrast, lighting, and emotional subjects.
- Techniques for night photography like long exposures, using a tripod, and aperture settings.
- Formats for files and how RAW files allow more editing than JPEGs.
- Basics that new photographers should learn like experimenting with different areas and gear.
6. First and foremost, in both a historical and
conceptual sense, photographs are used to
record time and place.Though visual art has
always transformed three-dimensional space
into two dimensions, photography, for the first
time in written history, has married science and
art to create mechanically accurate but humanly
emotional archive of time.
7. Think of the great
deference's
between these
portrait
Appreciate the power
that's possible when you
leave color behind.
Use black and white
techniques to to give
pictures a timeless quality
8. Contrast-the
difference between
the light and dark
areas in a photo-is an
essential part of black
and white
photography.
•levels of contrast
•High contrast
•Normal contrast
•Low contrast
9. Emotional occasions,
such as weddings or
tender childhood
moments are ideal
opportunities to shoot
black and white. And
don't forget group
shots-black and white
shots mean that
clashing clothing isn't a
problem.
10. without the distraction of color.
Try shooting interesting patterns,
textures or lines in nature. Details that
are barely noticeable in color become
more prominent and poetic.
Baby pictures, wedding photos, family
portraits, whether candid or posed, gain
a classic quality when shot in black and
white.
From the mountains to your backyard,
landscape shots look magnificent in black
and white.
11. Look through your camera's manual
modify to B W and edit it through one of
photo programs like Photoshop.
Just select the
black and white
shooting mode

13. •The results is a photo that looks too dark or bluish in tone.
• Some cameras have a snow shooting mode
• For those without, use your camera's manual controls to
adjust white balance until the snow's color is accurate.
•Watch your camera's screen adjust until the snow looks
white.
•When your camera
"sees" snow, its bright
white color can throw
off the white balance.
14. Lighting tips for winter photos
winter offers some fabulous light, especially in
the morning and late afternoon.
But it's tricky, too.
The bright white of snow and ice reflects
sunlight, and you end up with too much light in
your pictures.This means less detail, less
contrast, and washed-out colors.
Turn on your flash: More light may seem
like the last thing you need, but the flash
actually balances out the light off the
snow, filling in darker areas, so you get the
picture you want.
15. Shooting bright
colors against a
snowy backdrop
makes a vivid
winter photo.
Winter's sparse landscapes make great subjects, especially
when punctuated with contrasting shapes and colors, such
as trees, buildings, animals, or loved ones in bright clothing.
16. Make snow
sculptures, like
snowmen, animals
or letters and
decorate them.
Set up still life photos against the
snowy backdrop.
Create close-ups of snow-covered
pinecones or a bright red cardinal
perched in a tree.
Winter offers lots of
inspiration for
photography. Look
for these
opportunities

18. Do you like to take
photos at night?
Moonlight - dazzling
neon lights
Daytime photos
can't.
To take good night
photos, there are
some tricks you
need to remember.
so here are a
few of them.
19. The key to successful night
photography lies in a long
exposure.
We’re talking about exposures
measured in seconds. When a
long exposure is used, more
light is allowed into the camera
Allowing the details in your
night photo to be captured.
The problem with
using long exposures is that
you may shake the camera,
resulting in poor pictures.
use a tripod
20. Shutter speed (which determines
exposure time), you can play
around with the aperture size of
your digital camera
If you set a long exposure, try to
use a small aperture to avoid
overexposing any stationary lights.
if you set a short exposure, try
using a larger aperture to avoid any
motion in your shot.
21. With a long exposure, you
have many creative options
when it comes to
photography. This includes
capturing motion.
Think How dose
professional photographers
shoot pictures of trails of
car lights as they zoom
down the highway at night?
It’s all due to long
exposures
22. As a general rule, turn
the flash off when
taking night photos.
In some specific cases,
bring along an external
flash unit and shine it on
your subject manually.
Set a long exposure,
then have your subject
wait until the picture is
taken.
23. Layout of photos (Use of photo)
File formatting
24. JPEG (multi use)
Not the best but the most used
saves up a lot of space
easier to use than the other file formats
RAW file..
very good quality but very hard to use
could not be opened easily
needs special programmes to use it
25. Edition of photos
with RAW, changes are easy..
JPEG can’t change the basics
26. Different materials to be printed on..
papers
foam-board
self-use of the photos..
Memory
Documentary
Journalism .. Etc…
27. Learn the basics
Shoot with the gear you have
Don't try to force artistic photos
Try different areas
Don't just take photos; make them
Think before you shoot!
Shoot, shoot and shoot
Read, read and read
Learn to know your gear
Better gear doesn't always mean better photos
Some other tips when buying new gear
Use post-processing to create finishing touch
Go through other peoples photos
29. Photography (pronounced /fәˈtɒɡrәfi/) is the
process, activity and art of creating still or moving
pictures by recording radiation on a sensitive
medium, such as a photographic film, or an
electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or
emitted from objects activate a sensitive chemical
or electronic sensor during a timed exposure,
usually through a photographic lens in a device
known as a camera that also stores the resulting
information chemically or electronically.
Photography has many uses for business, science,
art, and pleasure.
31. Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries.
Long before the first photographs were made, Chinese philosopher Mo
Di described a pinhole camera in the 5th century B.C.E.,[4] Ibn al-
Haytham (Alhazen) (965–1040) studied the camera obscura and pinhole
camera,[4][5] Albertus Magnus (1193–1280) discovered silver nitrate,[6] and
Georges Fabricius (1516–1571) discovered silver chloride.[citation needed]
Daniel Barbaro described a diaphragm in 1568.[citation needed] Wilhelm
Homberg described how light darkened some chemicals (photochemical
effect) in 1694.[citation needed] The fiction book Giphantie, published in 1760,
by French authorTiphaigne de la Roche, described what can be
interpreted as photography.[citation needed]
32. BLACK-AND-WHITE COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY
All photography was originally
monochrome, or black-and-white.
Even after color film was readily
available, black-and-white
photography continued to dominate
for decades, due to its lower cost
and its "classic" photographic look.
It is important to note that some
monochromatic pictures are not
always pure blacks and whites, but
also contain other hues depending
on the process.The cyanotype
process produces an image of blue
and white for example.The albumen
process, first used more than 150
years ago, produces brown tones.
Color photography was explored
beginning in the mid 1800s. Early
experiments in color could not fix the
photograph and prevent the color from
fading.The first permanent color photo
was taken in 1861 by the physicist James
Clerk Maxwell.
Early color photograph taken by
Prokudin-Gorskii (1915).
One of the early methods of taking color
photos was to use three cameras. Each
camera would have a color filter in front
of the lens.This technique provides the
photographer with the three basic
channels required to recreate a color
image in a darkroom or processing
plant. Russian photographer Sergei
Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii
developed another technique, with three
color plates taken in quick succession.
