Blog Notes 208-217

Camera Settings:
-photogrloubelcher.comaphy is characterized by max. depth of field, and the way to do this is to stop down a lens as far as it will go
-smaller f-stops=longer shutter speeds


Light:
-best times are right after sunrise and just before sunset
-shapes and textures are emphasized by side lighting
-chose days that reduce shadows and highlights


Film:
-black and white shots are still the look of choice
-B&W showcase value, line, shape, texture, and pattern
-sometimes color can overpower certain types of art


Lenses:
-wide angle lenses are preferred for really close and really far objects in the same shot
-telephoto lens let you capture things you aren't actually close to
-macro lenses are good for getting really up close and personal


Filters:
-filters are a big part of landscape shots
-yellow filters bring out clouds
-ultimate black skies and white clouds use a red filter with a polarizer


Camera Support:
-tripods can help with the support needed when trying to take sharp images


Grand Landscape:
-"big view" for pictures of the great outdoors
-parks are great places to explore landscape photography
-always include a large expanse of the scene and wide- angle lenses will give the wider view that you need
-have sky in your shots, and have clouds stand out


Landscape Details and Close-Ups:
-bright sunny days usually seem best, but can be challenging
-most photographers prefer cloudy or overcast days to shoot
-parks are a good source of subject matter
-rocks, water, trees


Abstract Elements:
-images composed od lines, shapes, values, and textures
-best way is to get really close and shoot only a small part of it
-get as much depth as possible
-use macro lens
