Notes On Photography
Pages

- Advantages of Shooting in RAW - Shooting in RAW captures all uncompressed data from your camera's sensor, giving you maximum flexibility to fix exposure, adjust white balance, and recover shadow or highlight details in post-processing.
- Getting Started With Street Photography - Street photography is the side of life that documents humanity and captures candid everyday life in public spaces, such as city streets, parks, and markets, though not necessarily within a street setting.
- The Case for Cropping Images - Cropping an image means cutting away or removing distractions and superfluous outer image areas to highlight the main subject, recompose the image, or change the image aspect to fit specific platform shapes.
- The In-Camera Image Aspect Function - A digital camera setting that changes the proportional width-to-height shape of your photos, like 3:2 or 16:9, directly while you compose your shot and frames the scenes without the need to crop the image later.
- The Simplicity of the Square Format - The square format, a 1:1 aspect ratio composition, is a balanced, symmetrical composition defined by equal width and height, draws the eye to the center and encourages circular viewing.
- Understanding Camera Exposure (PASM) Mode Setting - The PASM mode control exposures through the Program (P), Aperture Priority (A/Av), Shutter Priority (S/Tv), and Manual (M) modes, alternatives to how much creative control you have or how much the camera automates for you.
- Understanding Image Aspect Ratio - Image aspect ratio is the proportional shape (not physical size or total pixels) relationship between an image's width and its height, written as width-to-height using a colon, such as 3:2, 4:3, or 16:9.
- What is Bokeh, the Quality of Blur - Bokeh, the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of a photo, shaped primarily by lens design, aperture blades, and shooting distance, it isolates subjects by making backgrounds soft and pleasing.
