Photography

Photography has inspired me recently. I had always thought of photography as a technology that destroyed artists. Historically, artists made copies of existing things and techniques were invented and perfected in the process. Slowly, art deepened its content and meaning. To me, an artist doesnt care about what the audience derive about the picture. It is an overflowing emotion of the author that is depicted which the audience try to relate to. In art, the canvas is your mind plate and u pour your thoughts as depicted forms.

Back to the topic, I was given fundaes on photography by my friend. These go on record here.

"Photography is all about light"

Factors determining photography:

Things that determine what they call the exposure of the photo:

Aperture: The size of the pinhole camera which determines the amount of light that passes in at the instant of taking a click. The aperture helps in determining the "depth of field" : the sharpness between the nearest and furthest of a subject in focus.

Speed of the shutter: The shutter lies in front of the pinhole and opens with a certain speed, hence affecting the amount of the light that passes through the aperture.

The ISO number of the film or the sensor determines the sensitivity of the camera to the light. Higher ISO number helps u bring in a good exposure if there is not enough light and probably a grainy look even if there is plenty of light.

Then the focal length affecting the zoom. The larger the focal length, the higher the amount of zoom.

So, in my understanding do the following:

a. get a good camera.
b. Set the above parameters and click ur way to glory.
c. U need to have some creativeness about the angle of taking the foto, which you get when u observe fotos taken in different angles of , ofcourse, the same object.


There, the budding photographer signs off hoping to get another camera in the march sale. Hopefully this one:http://mygx100.blogspot.com/2007/06/1st-impressions.html

The camera is sleak. As I am less stronger, I am unable to carry heavy objects around , that too when I am trying to relax with photography:)
