40 Stunning Examples of High Speed Photography

Posted on 18 January 2010 by admin

From Source: Smashing Apps

Basically high speed photography is a technique of capturing images with a remarkably quick shutter speed and mostly used for the scenes which cannot be seen with naked eyes. For high speed photography, you can use more or less any SLR camera, but an expensive camera can reach a much faster shutter speed and high speed photography is the game of shutter speed. Today, we will show you 40 Stunning Examples of High Speed Photography. In this post, you’ll find some very impressive photographs that will show you how high speed photography can freeze time setting you aside to view scenes that we would normally struggle to capture. We are sure these photographs worth a look and you’ll all like them. Feel free to share your comments.

Ten Songs about Photographs

Posted on 14 July 2008 by admin

From Photoshelter via James at QuizQuizBangBang:

I was be-bopping on the subway yesterday to Depeche Mode's photographic, and it was like a lightbulb went off! Or a flashbulb; there are so many great songs with photography as a theme. I spent last night running the batteries down on my ipod just to bring these songs to you this morning. I'm not sure I would say this is a definitive list-- clearly you're going to need to tell me which ones I'm missing (hint: The Kinks).

Also, some are more literal than others. You may be forced to use your imagination at points.

In any case, here are my ten, in order of no real importance, except that Wilco is my favorite, and this youtube video is actually from a Polaroid commercial that was never aired. So it's interesting x 2.

#1 Wilco, Kamera

10 Ways to Take Stunning Portraits

Posted on 09 July 2008 by admin

From Digital Photography School:

How do you take Portraits that have the ‘Wow’ factor?

Today and tomorrow I want to talk about taking Portraits that are a little out of the box. You see it’s all very well and good to have a portrait that follows all the rules - but it hit me as I was surfing on Flickr today that often the most striking portraits are those that break all the rules.

I want to look at some ways to break out of the mold and take striking portraits by breaking (or at least bending) the rules and adding a little randomness into your portrait photography.

How to Reduce Camera Shake – 6 Techniques

Posted on 23 June 2008 by admin

From digital-photography-school.com:

In this post photographer Natalie Norton explores 6 ways you can hand hold lenses at low apertures and low shutter speeds and still avoid blurry images caused by camera shake.

I’m a mover and a shaker in general, and this is particularly true when I’m on a shoot. I’m twistin’ and turnin’, climbin’ and jumpin’ and to top it all off, I DO NOT have a steady hand, plain.and.simple.

As often as possible I opt for lenses with VR (Vibration Reduction) or IS (Image Stabilization). You pay a pretty penny for this feature. For me, it’s worth the extra cost, and for the point I’m at in my photography it’s a reasonable expense. But that wasn’t always the case, and what about uber slow shutter speeds with no tripod. No IS or VR can hold up under pressure like that. . .no matter how magical they may be. . . and magical they are, trust you me.
6 Techniques to Reduce Camera Shake

Here are 6 options for avoiding camera shake and achieving crisp, delicious images no matter the length of the lens, no matter the shutter speed.

Shooting wide open? NO PROBLEM; I’ve got your back!! Enjoy!
