How to go there



Menjadi photographer yang hebat melalui kritikan?

Apakah cara ‘TERBAIK’ untuk menjadi photographer yang terbaik? mengikut teori komunikasi, untuk mengingati sesuatu kita perlu melakukannya berulang  5 kali atau lebih..

Ilmu yang ada dikongsi dengan orang lain.
untuk kita mengingati sesuatu terutamanya teknik dalam photography, kita digalakkan untuk berkongsi ilmu dengan orang lain terutama orang baru. apa yang kita pelajari harini, kita sampaikan kepada orang lain. perkara ini jika kita ulangkali lakukan.. kita akan lebih faham dan lebih konfiden. mengikut kelas ‘leadership’ yang saya hadiri baru2 ini.. cikgu saya berkata mengajar dan berkongsi ilmu umpama air terjun.. ianya sentiasa mengalir dan kita akan dapat air yang sentiasa bersih jika dibandingkan dengan air lopak. air lopak tidak mengalir kemana.. dan adakah kita ingin minum air lopak? guru photography saya pun ada pesan perkara yang sama.. turunkan ilmu kepada rakan baru.

untuk menyebarkan ilmu dan menambahkan kenalan dalam bidang ini, salah satu cara adalah dengan menyertai mana2 kelab photography supaya kita boleh belajar dan mengajar..

Minta gambar kita dikritik!
setiap orang ada pandangan yang berbeza.. gambar kita adalah pandangan kita. namun, untuk mendapat gambar yang lebih baik dari gambar yang kita rasa baik adalah dengan mendengar pandangan dan kritikan dari orang lain. saya percaya, dari kritikan rahsia pengkritik akan terbuka dan dia mula berkongsi idea.

jangan sesekali kita berkata dia tidak layak mengkritik.. mungkin ada sebahagian kritikan itu ada bernasnya. jika anda rasa tidak setuju.. beritahu kenapa gambar anda memang yang terbaik.

kita perlu minta pandangan dari kalangan fotographer profesional dan kawan biasa supaya kita dapat tahu adakah gambar kita sangat bagus atau sangat teruk atau OK sahaja.

Terima kasih.

In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

This method was developed to produce a high dynamic range image from a set of photographs taken with a range of exposures. With the rising popularity of digital cameras and easy-to-use desktop software, the term HDR is now popularly used to refer to this process. This composite technique is different from (and may be of lesser or greater quality than) the production of an image from a single exposure of a sensor that has a native high dynamic range. Tone mapping is also used to display HDR images on devices with a low native dynamic range, such as a computer screen.

Silhouette Photography

What is a Silhouette?
In photography, a silhouette is defined as an outline that appears dark against a light background. More specifically, it is where your subject is seen as a black shape without detail against a brighter background. This is an artistic outcome that many photographers like to perfect. This effect can be achieved with any kind of bright light source, but of course the most commonly used is the sun around sunrise or sunset. The backlighting from the sun shadows everything towards you and produces this effect.

Silhouette Techniques
When you are getting ready to take your silhouette pictures, there are a couple things to keep in mind. These tips work for both digital and film photography. Make sure you never point the lens directly at the sun. If there is too much light, the light will fall on your object. If there is not enough light, your background will become gray. The main key to silhouette lighting is having your background lighter than your object, but this can be done in more ways then one. Many photographers focus on a certain time of day, where their subject is, what kind of weather there is, and where the sun positioned in the frame.
