Photography encapsulates a memory, narrates a story, it expresses emotions, kindles an idea, communicates beyond the boundaries. Photography has sparked revolutions globally, played a strong medium for conveying facts and figures across the borders, allow a virtual experience of physical presence relative to the context.
The functional obstacles like the inadequacies of the light levels, the visual fuzz due to the wind, the raging disturbances around the subjects are not worth letting go of that perfect capture. Over the years, there have been numerous phenomena developed in terms of both usability and technicalities to avoid these interventions to retain the quality and intensify the feel of the beautiful art.
Photography evolved as a complex science in itself over time, progressing from being a mere granted aesthetic output to profound utilitarian imposition. Its consequence being photography taking over the distinctive fields playing a major role in their working and depiction.
Architecture is one of those fields that has adopted photography to recreate just an entire new world out of the very existing. Fabricating the composed milieu in such a way to reproduce a model world is the most applied tactics in Architectural photography.
The technique helps overcome the limitations like restricted depth of field and enable aesthetically pleasing optical view, that presses on its workability and necessity in various fields of photography.
One major tool that works its best in reproducing a miniature world is “Tilt shift” (Lens and Focus). It was originated to replicate the lost functionality of a view camera.
The tilt shift lens work for the medium format cameras as an attachment to the actual camera. The originals (Produced by...

As fascinating as it sounds, Tilt Shift hasn’t been the easiest practice for many amateurs. A wee bit of mathematics involving that needs an estimation always was a pre requisite to obtain the best of the results. Many calculations and formulae regarding estimating the parametrical data like angle of tilt and rotation, depth of field, focal area and so forth, have been put through the aid of upcoming talent, after an enormous study, to make the best out of the Tilt Shift equipment and methodology.
Advanced Camera gadgets and add ons are made a part of the technology to guide at the photographer with the unprecedented indications of mathematical data that includes focal length, the degree of tilt, and suggest the conditions of adjustments for the lens.

Anyone today would agree that as far as photography is concerned, we have most certainly advanced far beyond what many of photography’s pioneers could have possibly imagined. The ease in which we are so readily able to document our lives through photos, along with the quality of those photos, is simply amazing. However, there is a certain authenticity that is found in the antiquated processes of photography that modern pictures simply can’t deliver.
Susan Sontag’s essay on how photography has limited people’s understanding of the world contains many interesting points that can be agreeable while at the same time having few that I tend to disagree with. Photography can be good and bad; it can open our minds up to new cultures and experiences through its imagery. However, at the same time it can limit our understanding of the world around us and of the world around the image it is portraying.
This trend also found roots in the emergence of photographic technology, originally developed in the early 1800’s and advanced continuously until the present. During this time, artists and photographers suddenly found that they could much more easily captur...
New technology is an ever present, always advancing force in today’s world. For this reason it is no surprise that in the last decade we have begin to see the rise of digital imaging in our lives. Put simply, digital imaging is the process of changing a visual imaging into a format that a computer can understand and interpret. Whether or not the image is captured by a digital device, such as a digital camera or camcorder, or it is transformed into a digital file after its development, such as by scanning, digital processes are changing the face of photography and the way we interpret it. However, as with any new change or development, digital imaging comes with its own set of advantages, and its own set of vices.

As seen in paintings of battle scenes and portraits of wealthy Renaissance aristocracy, people have always strived to preserve and document their existence. The creation of photography was merely the logical continuum of human nature’s innate desire to preserve the past, as well as a necessary reaction to a world in a stage of dramatic and irreversible change. It is not a coincidence that photography arose in major industrial cities towards the end of the nineteenth century.
The principle behind the refractive telescopes is the use of two glass lenses (objective lens and eyepiece lens) to gather and bend parallel light rays in a certain way so that the image fits the size of the eye's pupil. Light rays is gather through the opening of the telescope called the aperture and passes through the objective lens and refracts onto a single point called the focal point. From there the light rays continue the same direction until it hits the eyepiece lens which also refract the light back into parallel rays. During the process, the image that enters our eyes is actually reverse of the original image and magnified because the size in which we preceive the image.
loosening the spesific creativity in each picture. When people see the major mass of photos
Have you ever seen a painting or picture that captivates you and directly stirs up emotion within you? More than likely, you have. Usually, viewers merely observe the picture and enjoy the way it looks and how it makes them feel. But, have you ever asked yourself, “why?” What about the picture makes it pleasing to the viewer? With each strategy the photographer uses creates their own touch and passion that floods all over the picture. The emotional connection nearly goes unnoticed for when the picture is well photographed, the viewers experience the sensation in their subconscious. This is one of the most powerful tools that a photographer holds in their hands. If one can become a master of manipulating how the photo affects its viewers, the said photographer can potentially maneuver people’s minds and thoughts with one click of a button. The time spent with my mentor has opened up the door for me to tap into that power though the use of background, focus, shutter speed, angles, and most importantly, lighting. Even with all these techniques, the person behind the camera must remember that creativity must be at the forefront of all operations. Caleno (2014), when writing about the basics of capturing a beautiful moment in a picture commented, “If we want to be creative we must drop these pre-conceptions and start looking at things from a small child’s innocence.”
What do you consider art? Paintings, sculptures, drawings, or maybe something else. I know, when I think of art, I think of photography. Photography Is used for business, science, manufacturing, art, recreational purposes, mass communication, and more. Photography is using light to do amazing things, and some people think of photography as a story that just needs to be told. Ansel Adams probably believed this. He said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” Photography has a long interesting history, like the fact that the word photography is made up of two greek words, photos meaning ‘light’ and graphein which is ‘to draw’ ! Photography also has some complicated techniques to get a hang of taking good photos. Have you heard of the rule of thirds? Or do you know how a camera works? Well, that will all be explained. Maybe, by the end you will take up photography too. This essay will explore the history and types of cameras and the basic rules for taking photographs.
In Sontag’s On Photography, she claims photography limits our understanding of the world. Though Sontag acknowledges “photographs fill in blanks in our mental pictures”, she believes “the camera’s rendering of reality must always hide more than it discloses.” She argues photographs offer merely “a semblance of knowledge” on the real world.
In today’s world, photography has become a part of our daily lives. People take photographs of food, c...
Developments are leads to the nowadays to science of photogrammetry occurred long before the invention of photograph. As early as 350 B.C Aristotle had referred to the process of projecting images in optically. Then, in the early 18th century Dr. Brook Taylor had published his treatise on linear perspective. Afterward, J. H. Lambert had suggested that the principle of perspective could be used in preparing maps.
