2 Simple Tips For Getting Faster Digital Camera Performance
By Christine Peppler
A common complaint about a low to mid range digital camera is the speed at which it captures images. Such complaints are the result of lag time: both the delay between pressing the shutter button and getting a single picture and the time between capturing consecutive images.

Certainly buying a higher end digital camera can significantly reduce either of these two delay issues. Recent news reports even indicate that Casio is in the process of developing a digital camera that will be capable of photographing 300 frames per second but that is obviously in the future at this point and may be out of the desired price range for many buyers. For the near term, and for the buyer on a budget, there are a couple of tips to help deal with a sluggish digital camera.

Reducing Lag

The lag time that occurs between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture is due in large part to the focusing functions that are being performed by the camera during this time.

Many digital camera owners have learned to work around this lag time. By simply pressing the button halfway down and holding it prior to taking the picture, the camera is able to complete much of the focusing prior to asking the camera to actual capture an image. Once the user is ready to take the shot, the button is depressed completely and, viola, the camera responds with almost no delay. This technique obviously works only when the person taking photographs plans ahead and is prepared to take a shot prior to the proper moment.

Reducing Delay Between Shots

Unfortunately, users may still have to deal with the delay between taking one photo and the next which can result in missing many great shots. This delay is due to the fact that a digital camera requires time to write the image to memory and not all cameras and memory cards are as fast at writing as others.

Setting resolution lower can help to speed up a digital camera as there is less information to record. However, the drawback is clearly a loss in the quality of the image captured. However, there is another way of reducing the time between pictures without compromising the quality of the resulting photograph. Use of a memory card that has a faster write time can result in a significant decrease in the delay. This can become particularly important with a camera that has 5, 6, 8 or more pixels. Because of the increased amount of information to be recorded, a 2x or 4x memory card will not allow such a digital camera to operate very quickly.

For this technique to be effective in speeding up the performance of a digital camera however, it is also important to remember that the camera being used must support the faster read/write times offered by the memory card. Thus, knowing what the camera can accommodate will allow the user to determine if an 8x or 16x memory card would be the better choice.

A digital camera offers many benefits to users such as the ability to view shots immediately, edit shots for better quality photos, and to print photographs at home. The drawback of some digital cameras continues to be a more sluggish performance but there are certainly a few steps that users can take to alleviate any problems this may create.

Photography - Shooting Autumn Leaves

Leaves are a very popular subject when it comes to autumnal photography due to their great variation in colour at this time of year. If you are creative these subjects can offer great photographic potential. Here are 5 quick tips to make sure you make the most of the autumn weather

1. Ice – As the temperature drops outside leaves invariably become frozen in puddles, these can produce great photos. You can always pour cold water on the ice to remove the crystals and give it a really clear look, conversely you can scratch the surface to add some interest. If you can’t wait for the temperature to drop you can always stick some leaves in a water filled plastic container and freeze it overnight, just remember to fill your frame when you take the shot.

2. Falling leaves – As the leaves start to fall a rich carpet of yellows and reds starts to form. To get a sense of leaves falling without having to wait for a strong gust just ask an assistant to drop some whilst you snap away. Aim for a wide aperture to blur the background and go for shutter speeds of between ½ sec and 1/30 to get a sense of motion, you may need an overcast day or a neutral density filter as with the aperture wide open at this speed you may over expose during the day.

3. Soft focus – A quick, cheap way of adding a soft focus filter to your lens is adding a clear piece of plastic to the front of the lens (Cling film) and breathing on it, or on your UV filter if you have one. This will add a soft ethereal feel to your shots, just remember if you are breathing on your filters to give them a good clean after.

4. Back lighting – A great way to capture the vivid autumn colours is use the sun to back light them. This works great if you can shoot with a dark, shaded background. Remember if the back ground is dark the leaves may over expose so dial in a -1 stop to compensate and keep the darks dark and correctly expose the leaves. If the background is very bright you’ll have to add +1 stop to stop the leaves under exposing.

5. Get low, go wide – To really emphasise the coloured carpets so abundant in Autumn, fit a wide angle lens and get low down, focusing on a close leaf and fill the frame with the leaves going away into the distance, open spaces such as parks are great for this.

Light for Photographers

Light is the essence of photography. It’s not things that we photograph, but the light they reflect. Without light, there is no photography and the way things look to us and the camera is entirely dependant on the light that reaches them.

People talk about the “quality” of light, but in fact this is a combination of four different things that all light sources possess. Every light has a level, a colour, a direction and can either be hard or soft. Unless you are working in a studio, where you have total control over the lighting, the first thing any photographer should do is to make an assessment of the light in terms of these four aspects.

The first one, level, is the simplest. Except for the fact that we are not really aware of it ourselves. We can easily move from outdoors to indoors without realising just how dark it is inside, but the camera can’t do that. Not without making adjustments. Fortunately, all digital cameras have an auto-exposure system that will make these adjustments for you, or you can go manual and do it yourself.

When the light level starts to go down there are three things that can be adjusted. The ISO number represents how light-sensitive your camera is and setting a higher number will make your camera more sensitive. The aperture is a hole in your lens that you can make larger to let more light in. In this case, a lower number means a larger aperture. The third adjustment you can make is to the shutter speed, exposing the image for a longer time.

Whilst the ISO number and aperture have their effect on an image, it’s the shutter speed that finally determines just how low you can go in terms of light level, without adding your own light. Although you can set a shutter speed of half a second or longer, there is no way you can hold a camera steady for that length of time. If you try, you will get “camera shake” which hardly ever looks good. Even at 1/30th of a second, you will still get camera shake unless your lens is zoomed right out to its widest.

There is nothing stopping you taking photographs like this but you will need to use a tripod or other stable means of support to avoid camera shake. Alternatively, you can switch on your flash but that will now be the main light source and the photograph will look totally different. Change the lighting, change the picture.

The second aspect to consider is the colour of the light. This is similar to light level in that we are hardly aware of it and our cameras can be set to automatically or manually compensate for it. Daylight is blue compared to indoor artificial light, which is more yellow or orange in colour. It’s not usually a big problem because even if you or your camera get the colour setting wrong, you can still edit this after you have downloaded the images into your computer.

Where you really have to think about the colour is when you have mixed lighting. That is, your scene is lit by two or more sources of light that are different colours. Imagine a room with bright artificial light and a window. The light in the room is yellow and that coming through the window will be blue. There is nothing that can compensate for two different colours, you need to make a choice. If you were photographing someone in this room then where you placed them would alter their colour. The nearer they were to the window then the more they would be influenced by its blue light and vice versa.

Also, where you place the camera is important. If you are near the window, facing into the room, then your main light will be blue and the background of your subject will be yellow. If you are further into the room, facing the window, then the opposite will be true. Given that you, or your camera will adjust the colour to make the person look right, you are more likely to be aware of the background colour in the final shot. One thing that seldom looks good is when the window is at 90 degrees to the camera, one side of your subject will be blue and the other will be yellow and there is no way to compensate for that.

The level and colour of light are important, but these are things that you simply adjust the settings in your camera to compensate for. It’s when you start to consider the direction and softness of light that you can begin to get creative and really use the light. A light is called hard or soft because of the shadows it produces and the governing factor here is the size of the light source. The sun, a flashgun or a spotlight, being small, produce hard, sharply defined shadows. Whilst a cloudy sky, being big, is a very soft light source and produces hardly any shadows at all.

When you are making an assessment of the natural light around you, the first thing to realise is that there is never only one light source. All light travels in straight lines, until it hits something. It then bounces off. If it hits a shiny object, it will bounce at the same angle it arrived at, like a billiard ball off a cushion. If the object is matt (i.e. not shiny), it will bounce off in all directions and pick up the colour of whatever it hit.

A single bare light bulb will create a hard light directly on your subject. At the same time, it creates a soft light by bouncing off the walls, floor and ceiling. The lighter those areas are, the more soft light will be created. If one of the walls was white and the others dark, then most of the soft light would come from the direction of the white wall.

A hard light source will create very dark shadows, much darker that we see with the human eye. This can cause a problem for photographers because, at the correct exposure, it may not be possible to see any detail in the shadows. The two ways of dealing with this are to hide the shadows or fill them in. You hide shadows by keeping your subject away from any background and shooting from the same angle as the hard light source. That way, most of their shadow will be hidden behind them.

You fill in the shadows by using anything large, and preferably white, that the hard light is hitting. This will be a source of soft light and, if you keep it on the opposite side of your subject to the hard light, it will fill in the shadows, allowing you to photograph the details. It is always a good idea to take a reflector with you (anything large and white) when shooting on a sunny day.

As you might expect, the direction of a hard light source is much more critical than that of a soft one. In fact, changing the angle between your subject and the light source can totally transform the way it looks. If your subject has a rich texture, that can totally disappear when the light is square on to it. The more oblique the angle, the deeper the texture will appear.

For portraits, a frontal light will make people appear less wrinkled and happier. As the light moves to the side, they will look more serious. Light from above is seldom flattering and light from below makes people look downright weird. If you like landscape photography, try to visit your favourite spots at different times of the day and see for yourself the complete transformation that the angle of light makes to a photograph.

Using natural light doesn’t mean that you need to put up with bad lighting. By making a thorough assessment of the light sources around you it is possible to make the best use of what nature has presented you with.

Archetypal advertising and design
Shaun Crowley




We are all aware of how advertising has changed over the decades. What started as ‘Here’s the product, now go and buy it!’ advertising in the 1950’s, has turned into ‘Here’s a feeling, now feel it!’ advertising, in which products appear as personalities, metaphors, and emotions.


Advertisers have drawn on psychological theory to target people’s emotional needs in consumer advertising, where buying decisions are more likely to be spontaneous or heavily influenced by spontaneous and often unconscious emotions.


“The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls”

These days, we are bombarded with promotional messages and visuals everywhere we go. They are present in subways, on TV, in magazines, in the street, and even on the clothes of the people walking by. In fact, everything we do exposes us to advertising imagery in some form or other.


So why is it that we don’t feel overwhelmed by such a relentless wave of provocative icons? How come none of us feel compelled to read each of the subway billboards before we get on the train? How come we don’t remember every single TV advertisement during the break?


The reason is called desensitization. It’s a process in which our brains learn to filter out periphery messages. This filtering is done subconsciously—which is why we are often aware we saw a particular advertisement, but unable to recall it.


Finding out how desensitization works has led cognitive researchers to conclude that our subconscious does a whole lot more work than previously thought.
The elements of design are used, and often combined, to create graphic works. They should not be confused with principles of design, such as balance and white space, but rather components such as color, type and images. Presented here is a list of the most commonly used elements in graphic design.
Shapes

From ancient pictographs to modern logos, shapes are at the root of design. They are used to establish layouts, create patterns, and build countless elements on the page. With graphics software such as Illustrator, creating and manipulating shapes is easier than ever, giving designers the freedom to create them at will.
Lines

Lines are used to divide space, direct the eye, and create forms. At the most basic level, straight lines are found in layouts to separate content, such as in magazine, newspaper, and website designs.

This can of course go much further, with curved, dotted, and zigzag lines used as the defining elements on a page. Often, lines will be implied, meaning other elements of design will follow the path of line, such as type on a curve.
Color

Color is an interesting element because it can be applied to any other element, changing it dramatically. It can be used to make an image stand out, to show linked text on a website, and to evoke emotion. Graphic designers should combine their experience with color with an understanding of color theory.

Type

Type, of course, is all around us. In graphic design, the goal is to not to just place some text on a page, but rather to understand and use it effectively for communication. Choice of fonts (typefaces), size, alignment, color, and spacing all come into play. Type can be taken further by using it to create shapes and images.
Art & Illustration

The use of illustrated work and fine art in a design can determine its character. It can be anything from a logo to a fully illustrated CD package. Graphic designers may create their own artwork, purchase it, or commission an artist to create an exclusive piece for a project.
Photography

A powerful image can make or break a design. Photographs are used to tell stories, support ideas, and grab the audience’s attention, so the selection is important. Stock photos can be purchased at all price levels on many websites, or photographers can be hired for project-specific shoots.
Texture

Texture is a unique element because the audience can feel it. Paper selection, from thin to thick to matte to glossy, can affect the overall perception of a graphic work. People will often give more attention or credit to something on heavier stock. Aside from paper choice, texture can be used in limitless, creative ways, such as in package design.

These elements can be used in countless ways. In the end, a combination of the elements you choose, how you alter them, and where you arrange them on a page will determine the success of a design.

Tradeshow Graphics, The Fabric Of Your Exhibit
Graphics are one of the most important elements of any tradeshow exhibit. They set the tone of your exhibit, and determine how your company will be perceived. You want to select graphics that will not only reinforce your company’s brand image, but effectively communicate to your audience what your company or product can do for them as well.

One of the best ways to captivate your audience’s attention is to use appealing graphics. You can use graphics to create interest and depth within your exhibit, which makes it more visually stimulating. To really amplify your message your tradeshow graphics should have excellent color, clarity, and detail. These three crucial elements are easily achieved when high-end quality graphics are used.

Innovations in tradeshow graphics continue to provide better mediums for displaying quality graphics. Fabric has been introduced as a great alternative to traditional exhibit graphics. For instance, today the older styles of inkjet-laminated panels are being replaced with more durable fabric graphics. Many exhibitors are making the switch to fabric graphics because they offer a number of benefits to the user, and they eliminate the possibility of glare or scratched finishes. A softer more elegant look can be achieved with fabric graphics, which makes them more appealing for interior displays.

Although the practice of using fabric graphics is still relatively new, there are a couple of ways to have your images printed. Images can be created through a dye sublimation process or a direct printing process.

With a dye sublimation process, the ink is permanently bonded to polyester fibers with a heat transfer. Photographic images look more realistic with this form of printing because the colors are not laid down as individual dots as they are with inkjet printers. However, there is a downside to this process since it can only be used on polyester fabrics.

Direct printing should be used if sharper brilliant images are desired because dye sublimation creates softer muted images. Direct printing use a steam process to embed the ink into the fabric, and can be used on fabrics like silk and cotton. Because this process prints the image directly onto the substrate it is highly recommended for durability.

There are many benefits to using fabric graphics since they eliminate many of the traditional trade show graphics problems. They are a durable, lightweight, versatile, and affordable medium for displaying quality color graphics.

Fabric graphics are so durable that they can be stored easily and reused again and again. They can even be machine washed or dry cleaned depending on the fabric and printing process. These graphics are a great display investment because many are wrinkle, stain, and fade resistant. The usual concerns that are associated with vinyl graphics are no longer an issue when fabric is chosen. Wrinkles can easily be removed from fabrics with an iron, and there is no need to worry about the substrate cracking as vinyl does with repeated use. Choosing a heavy weight fabric will increase the lifespan of your graphics because a thicker fabric can be displayed more often without showing wear as easily.

Since fabric graphics are so lightweight, they make transportation, drayage, and storage simple. These graphics can also be folded and packed into compact cases and stored in smaller spaces than those usually required by other types of graphic panels. Because they are lighter and take up much less space than other types of traditional tradeshow graphics fabric graphics are extremely portable. This makes them great for exhibiting anywhere.

Fabric graphics offer more versatility than laminated panels ever could. They allow you to capture different moods and looks by varying textures and opacities. Some fabrics have translucent properties, which provide the opportunity for backlighting as an extra element in design. There are also endless shape and size possibilities. They are more suitable for interior displays, whereas vinyl is better for exterior promotions. Vinyl can sometimes appear to look cheap when indoors, but fabric creates a more elegant appearance.

Since fabric graphics can be packed compactly, they can save you money on storage fees as well as transportation and drayage charges. This helps to make large-scale graphics more affordable for exhibitors with smaller budgets. The use of fabric graphics can also save your budget by extending the life of your tradeshow exhibit. Instead of buying a new exhibit, you can simply use fabric graphics to dress up or change the look of your current exhibit.

There is also an added element of safety to be aware of when you choose fabric graphics for your exhibit. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has certain regulation codes for the use of fabric structures at tradeshows and conventions so you want to be sure that your graphics comply with these regulations. Be sure that all fabric graphics that you use are made from flame retardant materials.

Fabric graphics have begun to make a place for themselves at exhibitions with the introduction of tension fabric displays. Fabric is a great medium to use for any type of tradeshow exhibit. Hanging signs made with fabric provide a lightweight piece that can help to extend the height of a display. Many popups are now made with multiple or single fabric panels which make set up and storage a snap because the graphics do not have to be removed and reattached for each use. Fabric graphics can also add movement and elegance to banners, and can even create unique structures with dramatic flair. Design possibilities for tradeshow exhibits are endless when fabric graphics are incorporated.

Although fabric graphics may initially be more expensive than other traditional tradeshow graphics, they are a great investment for exhibitors to make. The durability of these graphics alone makes them worth buying since they offer more repeat use. However, the limitless design possibilities of fabric graphics continues to increase their popularity because exhibitors are constantly trying to keep there image fresh and up to date. Consider using fabric graphics for your next tradeshow exhibit if you want a durable, lightweight, versatile, and affordable medium that you can count on to effectively portray your company’s image.

GOOD MORNING

How to Email Photographs of Digital Camera?
With the advent of the digital cameras in our day to day lives, photography has become the passion of all. These digital cameras are so easy to handle and so simple to use that you can find a dozen of self proclaimed experts of this passion. However, many amongst us don't know the actual method of e-mailing the digital pictures in a right manner which could be quite frustrating for the recipient of the pictures. In this article, let us try to find the actual method of the e-mailing the picture in the right manner.

You have to choose the picture (not pictures) that is to be sent to the recipient. And try to save it in a common file type. For a thing as pictures JPEG file format is the best bet. Then you should open the chosen photo in any image editing software. You can resize the picture if it is too big and isn't required. Because the more mega pixels the digital camera is, the more blown up would the image be, so it is better to cut it down as that would also take a lesser space but it would also easily get attached and be opened by the recipient.

Always remember to see the file size of the images that are to be sent, and remember to keep it below 100 KB. If you don't have any idea as to how to find the size of your image, you can simply go to the image, click right and then see the size of your file. If you have to send a lot of pictures, you can probably break them up into several pictures and files, zip them together and send it across to the recipient. Always be sure about the attachment capacity of your e-mail and then send the mail accordingly.

One last point that must be kept in mind while you are sending your mail across is that you must write the subject for these photographs in a very obvious manner that should indicate that they are the authentic photographs. As in many cases, such emails fall into the junk folder and many such emails with such attachments are considered to be viruses by many recipients.

So, it is good to click photographs with your digital camera and if the photographs are sent properly, that would make the sharing experience all the more delightful.

Dictionary For Selling Photos Online On Internet

1. What is stock photography?

Instead of assigning your own photographers, stock photography is a set of ready-to-use images for subscribers who purchased the rights to use them. With digital stock photography, you get to see the final image even before you are granted the rights to use them and these images can be licensed immediately. The cost for stock photography, especially royalty-free images are much lower compared to assignment photography. Stock photography saves you model, photographer, location, props, art direction and editing costs.

2. What is Royalty-Free?

Royalty-Free Digital Stock Photography is a concept where user of the images does not have to pay any royalty for repeated use of the images. The buyer does not own the copyright of the images but have purchased the rights to use the images legally without additional fees or interruption from the retailer. These images cannot be sold or transferred but it offers a wide range of benefits; mainly lower pricing and convenience.

Royalty-Free images are images that can be used multiple times, for almost any usage (refer to each manufacturer's licensing agreement for exact specifications). Royalty-Free image pricing is based only on size (not usage) and there are never additional fees for using the image. Royalty-Free images can often be purchased with other Royalty-Free images on discs for an added value.

3. What are the differences between Royalty-Free and Rights-Managed?

Rights-managed offers individual images to be rented through the negotiation of a specific price for a specific use. It offers clients exclusive rights plus the ability to restrict similar use of the image by others. The royalty-free concept allows customers an unlimited usage, where they do not need to pay royalties after the initial purchase. This greatly reduces the costs and allows greater freedom with the images purchased. Of course, by supplying all our images in digital format, our customers get to enjoy the advantage of being able to go straight to the color separator or print rather than having to scan them at an additional cost. Most importantly, it is more flexible than the traditional photo library.

4. What is Extended License?

Extended license covers use for Design Templates for resale (Web and/or Print), Prints for Resale Poster, Greeting Cards, Prints on Merchandise for Resale (mugs, stationery, t-shirts, etc), Design Elements on Software for Resale and any other Derivative Resale Objects.

5. What is comping image?

“Comping image” are low-resolution images used only for illustrative purposes, such as for client presentations or drafts. They cannot be used for any finished project, whether personal or professional.

6. What's the difference between RGB and CMYK formats?

RGB is the primary color model used by electronic display devices such as a monitor. CMYK is the primary color model used by color printers. In RGB, images are created by combining red, green, and blue light. This additive process can create millions of different colors by using different concentrations of the primaries. CMYK, in contrast, creates different colors in a subtractive process using four colors or inks: cyan (blue), magenta (red), yellow, and black.

The differences between RGB and CMYK become crucial when desktop publishers attempt to move documents from their screens onto hard copy. There are many RGB colors that CMYK printers cannot reproduce. Something that looks good on the monitor may not look the same in print. Therefore, it will be best for you to check with the printing company as they can advise you on whether the quality of the images would be sufficient for your project.

7. What is a model release and property release?

A model/property release is a written agreement between the model/property owner and the photographer whereby the model/owner gives his/her permission to the photographer to use the photographs commercially in perpetuity (meaning for all time). Releases can permit the use of the image(s) for all purposes, or may contain exceptions for certain usages.

8. What is a lightbox?

A lightbox is basically a place where you can store images that you are interested in. Think of it as a shopping list. Maybe you want a list for every client, or for every project. Members can make as many different lightboxes as they like.

A lightbox is an area where you can save images to review or purchase later on. Only registered, logged-in users can use a lightbox. You do not need to use lightboxes to purchase. Lightboxes are great for saving images that you are interested in, and are the best way to have images approved by a client or supervisor before you buy.

9. What does "exclusive" mean?

When an image is marked as being "exclusive", it signifies that the image is only available though us. If a photographer certifies an image to be exclusive, it guarantees buyers that you will never find the same photo anywhere else.

10. What is Digimarc protection?

11. What are Rights-Managed Images?

Rights-Managed images are images that must be licensed for a specific use. The fee for these images is calculated from several factors including size, placement, duration, and geographic location. Rights-managed images are licensed for a specific use and cannot be used for any purpose other than what is specified when licensing the image. If you are looking for a unique image, then look to Rights-Managed images. They will often provide a more distinct image than will royalty-free.

12. What is Compression artifacting?

"Compression artifacting" can be introduced by the camera and/or by your image editing software at lower quality settings. Also, re-sizing, re-sampling, and re-saving can all degrade the quality of a JPEG image, so one should be careful about re-saving JPEGs. If for example, a photo was re-saved 4 times (even at a quality of "12" or "Best") the image quality will become worse and worse. With this in mind, it is obviously best to start with the cleanest image possible. You may want to double-check your camera settings to make sure it is saving at the highest quality.

13. What is noise on photo?

"Noise" (pixels of varying colour where there shouldn’t be) is most commonly created by digital cameras, especially in darker shadows or under low-light conditions and exacerbates the compression issues mentioned above. You might want to double-check to make sure that your camera’s ISO/ASA setting is at the lowest number (usually 100). In digital cameras, higher numbers (200 or 400) will always result in more noise (just as with film).

14. What is stock photography?

Stock photography is existing photography that can be used for print and web ads, in books and magazines, in news, on websites, in brochures and packaging, and in a large number of custom applications, according to the licensing terms to which the photographer and buyer have agreed. Using an image that already exists saves the purchaser the time and expense of a custom photo shoot.
