The following is a term that is often at the mention in the art of drawing:

A: Stands for auto, which is a password for automatic selection of facilities. That is, if the selector is rotated into position, opening the diaphragm will work automatically after the photographer to choose a speed (shutter speed) or vice versa.

AF: stands for auto focus, namely how to work the camera without requiring the photographer himself twirling inventor focus (distance). This system works after the photographer pressing the "on" in the command focus.

5 composition landscape

These 5 tips will not show the rules discussed-to-death-thirds. However, for those looking for something in the rule of thirds, remember this rule: Do not place your subject right in the middle of the frame unless you're aiming for symmetry (see the next tip below).

Symmetry vs. Asymmetry
Decide whether you want photos to be symmetrical, or asymmetrical. Few errors in composition (eg crooked horizon) will dilute the effect of the image. Some images benefit from asymmetry, which means that the left side are dramatically different from the right side. Asymmetry works well for images where you want to emphasize the differences between the two elements in the picture.

Timing
Yes, time plays a part in the composition of the landscape photos as well. Timing of elements in the picture, including choosing the right moment to click the shutter. I wrote a scene in my DSLR for a nice clear day. The sun cast some interesting shadows on the floor of the bridge, but I wanted something more. Hearing footsteps behind me, I turned and saw a farmer walking toward me. I waited for him to cross the bridge a little more, and click the shutter. It makes the picture more interesting than if I had shot just a bridge only.
Time also includes choosing the right time today to shoot. You can use the shadow objects to lead the attention of visitors to the main subject which is on full display. Type shadow only appears when the sun is at certain angles (see my post in the ratio of light for landscapes).

Composing a Portrait

The principle point of interest
Each image requires the main point of interest, and in the eyes of a portrait is usually the subject.
The main point of interest may not be dead in the center of the frame: this is too static and symmetrical. Imagine a line running through the eyes of the subject, and one in the 90 ° runs through the nose and chin to form a cross. The best position for this cross slightly above the horizontal center of the frame, and slightly to the left or right of vertical center. Is the cross a little to the left or right depending on which way the subject is looking. If they are looking to the left, there should be more background to the left, so that the cross is put right center. Conversely, if they seek to right, the cross should be placed to the left. This helps prevent the viewer's eyes from the drawn out of the picture when the following subject line of sight. When the subject is facing directly into the camera, consider the shoulder. Here the aim should be to have a little more space in front of the subject rather than behind them. So, if the right shoulder is the nearest camera, frame shot so that their eyes are also the right of center. Back to the cross to imagine the face, if this portrait, the portrait will look very formal. It's often a good choice for a more mature subjects. Tilting the cross to either side to create a diagonal axis with the feature, which shows the vitality of the movement, and often best for younger subjects.

Understanding Infrared Camera Thermal Image Quality

 Infrared Camera

Abstract
When seeking to select an infrared camera, is very important to better understand the attributes of this camera is that most impact the quality of the resulting infrared image. This paper covers three main areas that affect the quality of thermal images: pixel resolution, thermal sensitivity and fixed pattern noise. Each region has a significant impact on thermal image quality.
 If you buy a digital camera in the past, the purchase you are likely to be influenced by your belief that the number of pixels is the most important specification when trying to assess the image quality between all the options offered by the camera. For anyone who read Consumer Reports ™ and their detailed evaluation of a digital camera you will appreciate that the performance of the camera includes a careful analysis of more than the number of pixels. Because the thermal camera is basically an image converter (heat energy radiation in the visible image), you need to understand what are the main attributes that determine the thermal image quality and how they each contribute to the quality of images that you may experience in your application.

Pixel Resolution

Pixel resolution

The first consideration is the number of pixels. Today there are three standard resolution (camera several manufacturers' deviate slightly)
 

• Low Resolution - 160x120 (19,600 pixels)
• Medium Resolution - 320x240 (76,800 pixels)
• High Resolution - 640x480 (307,200 pixels) 

 

How much resolution you need (verse want) is primarily determined by your application and to the value you provide to the quality of the image. When evaluating a digital camera with a 5 paragraph 10 mega pixel most users will not benefit by buying a camera with 10 million pixels because they are never going to print images on paper that is large enough where the resolution will provide better print quality.

The difference vector and raster graphics

vector and raster graphics

In the world of graphic design there are two main types of graphics. Vector and raster graphics (or bitmap) graphics. There are some major differences between the two graphics formats, and you need to understand these differences to determine when to use each format. This article will look at two different formats and when to use each.

Vector Graphics
vector graphics is a graphic image format created by applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Coral draw, or free inkscape open source applications. They are sometimes referred to as image applications. A vector graphics store different information for raster graphics in that it does not use pixels. A record of a particular coordinate vector graphics in your file as a reference point, then record information such as gradient lines, and thickness as a formula. So, when you edit a file that you do not edit the pixels on the screen, you add and change information that formula. Therefore, vector graphics are completely scalable. No matter how small or how large your image on screen, not the size that determines how large your image file size. drawing vector graphics come in many different file types depending on the application that created them. common formats including EPS, AI, CDR, and SVG.

Why do you need vektor artwork?

Vector art is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes, which are all based on mathematical equations to represent images in computer graphics. In other words, this is the kind of computer art that can re-size and printed without having to worry about resolution or image quality. So, you will be able to pick up a stamp-sized logo and blow it up to billboard size and still would have the same amount of detail.

computer-based art is commonly known as Raster Graphics, or for example, "Bitmap." This is described by Wikipedia as follows: .. "Computer displays are made of tiny dots called pixels images were constructed from this point are smaller and closer the dots together, the better the picture quality, but the bigger the file needed to store the data If we keep constant the number of pixels . and we enlarge the image, then the size of each dot grows and becomes rough drawings ... "But Vector art is not made of pixels at all. Thus, we avoid the problem of the overall image resolution. Raster graphics deal more practically than vector graphics with photographs and photo-realistic images, while vector graphics often serve better for typesetting or for graphic design.

Understanding Basic Image Parameters In Digital Photography

In the art of photography we at least know some more image parameters and improve the quality of digital photo cameras. This is very influential in the shooting. Here are a few that I know of references that I read.

Saturation: 

Saturation is the intensity of a particular color. Image with color saturation as zero is the gray-scale image. Some digital cameras have settings that sharply contrasts that enhance the saturation of all colors in the picture. This attribute can be used in Photoshop as well. Some viewers images also provide this option.

This feature helps in still images of flowers and fruits. He describes the natural color of the subject better. If you reduce the saturation of a digital object, it gives effect to photograph the countryside. Rural effect is very useful when you are taking the bus, train or truck. You also can reduce boredom and increase the contrast to give a grunge feel to the picture image. This is useful for portraits or pet pictures.

When asked what graphic design tools, the answer still is a computer that supports and software. But actually the answer is not complete because graphic design is not dependent on electronic equipment alone but also required more extra again. That idea, mind, eyes, hands, and hand drawing tool. It sounds weird or maybe you can laugh when it knew it, but that's the actual facts in graphic design. Without it all the designs will not be perfect.
A concept or idea is usually not considered as a design before it is realized or expressed in visual form.
In mid 1980 the arrival of''desktop publishing''and the introduction of a number of graphic software applications introduced a generation of designers to computer image manipulation and 3D image creation that had previously been a laborious work. Graphic design with computers allows the designer to see results from the layout or typography changes instantly without using ink or a pen, or to simulate the effects of traditional media without demanding a lot of space.

History of photography

Who knows the history of photography, much changed stage by stage. Very long journey of photography. Little information to make you want to know about the history of photography that I read in reliable references.
Starting at -19 th century art history and photography began officially registered with other advances made humans in line with technological advances that are heavily-incessant. In the year 1839 set as the initial year of photography. In that year, in France officially declared that photography is a breakthrough technology. At that time, recording two-dimensional as the eye can be made permanent.
History of photography began long before the Christian era. In the book The History of Photography by Alma Davenport, published by the University of New Mexico Press in 1991, mentioned that in the 5th century BC, a man named Mo Ti was observed a phenomenon. If the wall of a darkened room there is a small hole, then on the inside of the space it will reflected the scene outside the room in reverse through the hole. Mo Ti was the first to realize the phenomenon of camera obscura.

If the curtain is open there will be catching images At first the shutter is made of sheet metal, but most modern cameras use a cover made from fabric faster shutter speeds. Coverings made of fabric has a strength of about 50,000 to 200,000 times the open-close (conduct exposure).
