So, what are some examples why photography is helping America in a positive way?

~this is for a research paper I am doing. 10 points best answer!

Photography is used by the media to show what’s happening in other parts of the country and world. The true horrors of war and natural disasters can be shown in a way that words can’t describe.

Photography people: How do I take a picture similar to this one?

I like how everything is black, except for her. How do you take such a picture?
Camera settings?
Backdrop?
helphelphelp.

Large off camera light source (ie flash & softbox) VERY CLOSE to the subject. Subject far away from the background. That way the light falls off rapidly and the background shouldn’t get light on it. Having it a dark colour helps but is not essential.

Any stray light falling towards the background should be flagged off using dark card/cloth. Max sync speed to kill anu ambient light.

This one;

was shot with a dark backdrop, 60" umbrella camera right, gridded snoot behind & to left of model. Used a D300 & RF-602 wireless triggers to fire flashes, aperture f8, shutter speed 1/250.

The People of Pahalgam, Kashmir

admin — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 01:03:19 +0000

This video is a collection of photos from my second visit to Pahalgam in 2005. It’s one of my favorite places; the people are beautiful and the landscape is gorgeous.

The Kashmiris are dying for their freedom (azad), yet a resolution seems a long way off. Neither India nor Pakistan want to relinquish their stronghold on a state that wants to be independent from both countries decades old politics, which many feel are related to water rights. Fighting in the region has worsened since the Mumbai attacks.

I hope to return to Pahalgam one day and gift these amazing people with their portraits!

Think differently about autism is a campaign for the National Autistic Society to raise awareness of autism.
Autism is a serious, lifelong and disabling condition. Without the right support it can have a profound — sometimes devastating effect on individuals and families. Over half a million people in the UK have autism. Together with their families they make up over two million people whose lives are touched by autism every single day. A lack of public understanding of autism means that these people often don’t get the support and services they so desperately need.
Together we can change this

What camera do you recommend for people who are really interested in taking photography lessons?

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:23:28 +0000

I’ve been really interested in photography and how it can say more than a thousand words in just one picture. I plan on really taking it serious in the future, but not probably as a proffession. Any camera recommendations? Thank you.

ANY camera that you understand and use, is a good one, however some have features you may like over others. I would seriously think on a D-SLR (Nikon D-40) as a start. The ability to interchange lenses is the largest Plus here. The camera has way more than enuf pixels for excellent prints to 16×20 and a shutter / flash sync of 1/500th of a second for outdoor fill shots, and it’s "cheap" at $500 for body and starter lens kit combo. And talk about light weight… Don’t worry that most are made of plastic anymore, it’s what helps keep them light. Metal bodies add weight and when bumped, dent and / or chip paint. The difference between a ‘pro’ and ‘non pro’ isn’t so much the equipment used, but the fact we make $$ with our cameras, any of them. Many ‘pros’ have so called lesser cameras around their neck because, their lighter. They didn’t cost 5 thousand dollars, and many know the mega-pixel craze is just a market scam and 6Mp is really all one actually needs to deliver excellent quality work of almost any size wanted. Besides, why spend $5k today only to have it obsolete in 14 months, while a $5 to $700 camera can be replaced much "easier". Now, there ARE other features that need to be taken into the light here. ALL have the ability to "machine gun" your subject. Some much faster than others and some have larger internal buffers. Some can use older lenses, the non auto focus manual type and still meter couple to your camera. Some ARE able to withstand the excessive punishment a sports or traveling nature photographer will give their equipment. I use 6Mp cameras, a Fuji S-5 (it can use all my manual Nikon lenses with the camera’s light meter) and also a S-3 IRUV and a S-2 (can still use the older Nikon lenses but NO meter coupling) and I have made and sold prints up to 24×36 on my Epson 7600 printer, so I know it works. But regardless of the $$ spent on the camera, $500 or $5000, the camera is just a image capture device after the fact. You, as the human interface, have to be able to SEE the images first, then bring the camera to your eye and finger on the shutter to take it. Just go buy a D-40 from Ritz or Amazon dot com and start taking pictures. You won’t be sorry..
