Understanding Different Aspects Of Aerial Photography #MePhotographyYou
While you probably won’t need to learn about the various aspects of aerial photography to benefit from its use, understanding about them could help you choose which option you want. It is always helpful to know a little information about what you want from others, to ensure that you sound knowledgeable and can help them determine the best needs for you. Technical terminology isn’t usually hard to learn, and can help make sure there aren’t any misconceptions.
Oblique (High and Low)
Any of the oblique aspects is common. The oblique version is shown while at an angle to the ground, so it is not directly overhead. If you ask for oblique, you’ll be requested to elaborate, because there are high, low, wide or close-up versions. High Oblique options include some of the horizon (skyline) while low oblique options do not.
Near Vertical
Near vertical photography means that the camera is positioned almost vertically though it’s not considered a perfect measurement. They can be used to see the general area of the land for redesigning and planning purposes. Special cameras aren’t needed, but aircraft must be adapted to get a clear shot.
True Vertical
True vertical options are exactly 90 degrees down from the centre point and usually require specialty cameras and many measurements and planning. This option gives a map-like perspective that can be scaled as a regular map.
Wide
The wide-shot is part of the oblique version and can be used to show the subject with its surroundings. This can work well if you want to get all the roadways in and around your business, to help make it easier to find you. While most wide-shots are oliques, they can also be near-verticals.
Close-Up
The close-up option is taken close so that what you want to be pictured fills the frame or fills it as much as possible. They can be used to capture more details or to create impact. If you are going to use a close-up, it works best to know ahead of time. While you can enlarge other options, the results won’t be as precise.
Panorama
A panorama typically means a very big wide shot, which includes the horizon and a larger area. They are usually created by taking up to eight single shots and then using computer software to stitch them together seamlessly. You can have a regular panorama and a 360-degree panorama view.
Understanding the different asspect of aerial photography can help you determine which one you may need.

Digital Photography Tricks - Make The Most Of Your Digital SLR! Paul Summers #MePhotographyYou
Few would argue that more people than ever can take pictures of real quality, as digital photography and the equipment available opens up opportunities for the keen amateur. Modern digital SLR cameras are boasting more and more megapixels and features, which can almost make photography seem too easy. However, there is functionality and easy to grasp techniques that many budding photographers never take advantage of. This article aims to address a few of the digital photography tricks and tools available.
Camera shake is the surest way to ruin a photograph, and can still occur even with your camera secured to a tripod. For example, you still have to press the shutter, and this causes some movement. This will ultimately affect the sharpness of your final image. There are two basic ways to avoid this. The first is to use a remote control shutter release button, or the less expensive cable release alternative - both will do the job well. Otherwise, you can set your camera's self timer option. All that is required is that you set up the shot and settings, then stand back while the camera carries out the shutter press for you.
No matter how near perfect your taken image is, many photographers will carry out at least some post shoot manipulation in the digital darkroom. To give you the opportunity of making the most of this facility, it is always a good idea to shoot your original image in RAW rather than JPEG format. JPEG images contain 256 brightness levels in each of the three colour channels (red, green and blue). However, RAW files contain up to 16,384 levels, which means you can have much more influence when amending your image, for instance making significant changes to highlights or shadows.
One of the digital photography tricks worth using is your SLR's Live View mode. Here you can set up your photo on the LCD monitor, rather than the viewfinder. One advantage to using this is the number of viewpoints you can use, for example, holding the camera above a crowd of people, and still being able to get an idea of what the final image will look like. Many people believe that it is easier to see the final composition by using Live View as opposed to the viewfinder.
Once upon a time, ISO was determined by the film you used. That is to say that you would be forced to stay with, for example, ISO 200 for all 36 shots if that was the film in the camera.
However, with digital photography, you can adjust ISO for every picture you take, if necessary. Generally, an ISO setting of 640 or above can start to show some noise in your image. You need to consider the trade off between upping the ISO to allow shots in dark conditions, and accepting some noise, or missing the image altogether. In most cases, the auto ISO setting would work sufficiently.
These are just a few of the digital photography tricks that you can use, to help unravel the mysteries of your SLR.

There is more to the shots than what a camera sees, it is actually how beautiful the model and scenario is to the photographer, and how beautifully they can capture what they see. Make people think that taking nice portrait shots makes them a professional photographer. What they do not realize is they make some mistakes, which can be avoided.
Here are some in detail:
Trying to be a One Man Show
Trying to be a One Man Show
Beauty shots are not a one man's show, and this is what amateur photographers do not realize. A photographer is not a photographer without a team. Many amateurs do not see the importance of their crew when they start their profession. Without models you have no one to shoot, and in order to get them, you need your friend, the agent to contact them.
How about setting the entire shoot? Not many people are artistic and experts at what they do. What about changing the scenes for different shots? The hair and makeup of the models? Being successful is a team effort and there is definitely no "I" in team.
Using the wrong lens
When someone does a beauty shoot, their entire purpose is to make the model stand out and look absolutely stunning, regardless of the backdrop used. Amateur photographers try to capture the surroundings as well and that too by using the wrong lenses. The idle lens used of a beauty shot is 70mm-100mm. For example, a professional knows that using any focus less than 70mm, will distort the facial length and the features will not be as prominent as needed.
Using Direct & Diffused Lights Incorrectly
Playing with lights is not easy; a professional knows that but not an amateur. Professionals play with direct and diffused lights. The difference between the two is the direct light creates a dark and hard edged shadow effect whereas diffused lights are used to get some light on to the model or subject. Newbies typically are unaware which lights they need to use at which time. This can change the entire look of the picture.
Not keeping the Proper Eye Level
Professional beauty photographers know that if they take a shot below the level of their model's eye level, the neck of the model will look a tad bit shorter. This is why when a model is sitting, a pro is on their knee or crouching down to make sure that the length of the neck is perfect. Amateur photographers make this common mistake often; they will just take the picture from the front without putting much thought into it.
Relying on Photoshop too much
Amateurs think Photoshop is a magical tool; it is, but it does not always help. A professional does not need to waste time on Photoshop since they make sure to take the perfect shots. A professional refers back to the monitor, finds the mistake, if any, and corrects it on the spot without wasting a single moment.

Digital Landscape Photography - Photography Workshops
If you're thinking about taking digital photography classes to help you become a better photographer, but aren't sure where to begin, here are the most common ways to take an affordable photography class.
Find perfect destination where one can learn about photography. It is a full-day workshop that can be attended by four to five people. Various subjects are covered such as use of white balance, controlling exposure, camera controls, use of aperture and shutter speeds etc.
eBook Digital Photography Classes
Setting White Balance: For nature photography set WB to daylight.
With digital photography now being pursued in many specialty spheres, it is even possible to attend specialized workshops on, for instance, digital landscape photography in black and white.
One of the best ideas would then be to go on a field workshop. Many expert and experienced digital landscape photographers offer such field tutorial trips where you will be able to learn the ropes right from the horse's mouth. These digital landscape photography workshops are popular. To be sure that you can be accommodated, you have to plan ahead and make your booking in good time.
There are also digital photography classes offered at Universities but you generally need to be an enrolled student to get into one. And there are photo workshops that take you to some wonderful spot for 5-7 days, and teach you how to shoot a specific type of photography (ie. landscape photography). But these are generally very expensive as you have to pay for travel, hotel, and meals. These types of photography workshops should be done only if you already know a lot about photography and/or earn an income from photography.
The surreal vistas and landscapes of Tuscany are also a very wonderful and desirable experience you will not want to miss. Not only is it the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, but it also has a rich heritage of artistry and architecture. There are many museums scattered throughout the region. The most famous of these museums is the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and this is definitely one destination that you will not want to miss.
The best time to shoot landscape pictures is during the first 2 hours and last 2 hours of daylight.
Online photography classes are one of the quickest and easiest ways to get started. Unlike real world (as opposed to the internet world) photography classes, you don't need to wait for the class to begin, worry if there will be room, or if it meets your schedule. Instead, with online classes you can start right away and set your own pace and schedule. Another great benefit of online classes is that you usually get to participate in forums and online galleries with other students where you can receive constructive critiques on your photographs. And there is usually an instructor who you can email with and get guidance from (the best online courses will offer this). There are some great online courses out there for between $100-$200 that include everything.
The first step in digital landscape photography is to ensure that you have a good theoretical grip on the technology and functions of the camera you will be using. For that purpose you should take time - before packing your tent and setting of into the countryside! - to study all you can about your camera's specifications, as well as visiting a couple of the many excellent online guides and tutorials on digital photography.

What you can do with your photos
It is that time of year again when you are all off on holiday or have been on a great holiday and we all like to take lots of pictures but a lot of us don’t do anything with the pictures we take we look at them when we get back and show them off but more often than not they are left on the phone or camera and forgotten about.
Memories we make on holidays are great and a good way to keep them is to have your photos and pictures printed on to canvas it’s a great way to display your precious memories. Canvas photo printing has been around for a long time but is still very popular and with the amount of people out there that are supplying them now it’s easy to find the rite canvas prints for u and as there is so much canvas printers out there you can get a great very competitive price.
Canvas prints are a excellent way to keep an display our memories but also make brilliant gift it can be very hard to find people a gift that is thoughtful personal and unique that is why this could be a great idea for you what could be better than giving someone a memory for any occasion they are great for birthdays, Christmas etc.
No one wants to give a friend or family member a gift someone else has given them already and as the canvas print you have made will be unique to you and your specifications so there is no chance of you turning up at the party with the same present as anyone else with your own unique canvas print this will never happen to you again.
Any picture that is special to you is a great idea to have put on to canvas weddings your children or holidays but it doesn’t have to be a photo if you are in to art and designing your own artwork it could be a great way to quickly and cheaply reproduce your work even your children love to create pictures why not have them made in to something you can keep and treasure long after they have grown up and moved out.
A lot of businesses that specialize in canvas printing are based on the internet and this is where you can find the best deal and search lots of businesses without leaving the house they can also offer canvas artwork printing to which is also a great idea.
There are a lot of effects an touch ups that can be used when making your custom made canvas print don’t hesitate to ask the person supplying you if there is anything you want touched up added or repaired on your picture i am sure they will be happy to meet any of your requirements .
When having a picture printed on canvas you can have it done straight from your camera off a disc memory card or even from a old picture that can be scanned straight on to a computer.
