Photography (photography), art (painting)

[Валерий Рыбаков]

I have "SLR" Canon 40D
   lens aperture increased
   flash Canon 430-I (for shooting on the street is not needed)
   software Photoshop

That set me "above the roof enough to take my pictures. The samples, as well as pictures can be seen on my site: www.rybakow.com /ru

Please note that there is no mention TRIPOD

Stages peresemki:

1. We hang on the street now in the shade (to direct sunlight did not fall on the canvas)

2. We expose to the camera "Manual", set the temperature of 5400 - 5700, and the minimum ISO 100-200 (to "seed" then the picture was minimal), set the aperture from 3.2 to 5.6 (the smaller the aperture - the better ) and shutter speed of 1 /80 or 1 /120 (at 1 /60 and the lower value of the photograph will be blurred - not sharpness). Taking aim, breathed - shot!

3. Open photoshop. Into, our image and process:
a) press the key combination "CTRL + L" and chase three sliders under the histogram to the left-right visual depending on how you changed our image.
b) press the key combination "CTRL + B" and adjusts the picture potsvetu (sometimes the camera is not quite correct color reproduction)
c) press the key combination "CTRL + M" (this step is useful if our image was initially dull, not saturated)
d) press the key combination "ALT + SHIFT + CTRL + S" and store our finished image with the correct us (expose) resolution and quality.

4. Glad the result obtained

Valery, there are several technical issues. I must say that I am not a professional photographer, just learn. All my knowledge podchepnuty my friend and photographer, the photo forum, the manual to the camera.

1) You write that in the shade put color temperature (white balance) 5400-5700 degrees Kelvin. In my instructions to the Nikon says that in the shade of color temeratura 8000 K. For some reason I can not trust the company Nikon. What do you say?

2) Set the minimum ISO (sensitivity) - an understandable decision. I completely agree with that. It will be less digital noise. Exposure shorter - is also understandable, especially if there is no tripod.
But the position of the diaphragm 3 to 5, when she was the most open, I do not understand. My friend the photographer to put the larger aperture 10-16, atoms and above. In this case, increased depth of field. I tested it: when shooting at a short distance from the wide-open aperture 3.5 I sometimes get the depth of field of approximately 1 cm A simple example - a cake on a napkin. Is clearly visible shallow depth of field. See? Napkin completely out of focus before and after the cake cake.
If you skew the picture by an inch, you can create blur in some places the picture. I understand that in shaded aperture decreases illumination and uvelichivaestya excerpt. The problem with long exposure can be easily solved tripod worth at least 1000-3000 USD. Either increase the sensitivity of ISO - the modern SLR camera can shoot without the noise up to 800 or even 1,600 units. (This is my new machine, I checked).

3) My friend, the photographer is not recommended to keep the format Jpg, and in the format Row. Then change the exposure and white balance, which you write, will not cause deterioration. These settings are made in the annex Photoshop. Set up using the same Photoshop file settings Row, you save it for printing or other application in the format jpg. However, I must say that the size of files Row will be a couple of dozen megabytes. But it's worth it!

Waiting for your comments.

Hello, Vladimir.
1) The difference between 5700 and 8000 K is not very important if coming further processing in Photoshop. I named 5400-5700 as the day I had neochen cloudy rather hurried clouds.

2) on this point, I agree with you completely, Vladimir
I just take this "chip" to retake fragments paintings - I have attached an example to the letter (first photos)
The second and third picture shows the painting before and after the easy and fast processing in Photoshop, respectively ..

3) on the item you each photographer is absolutely right. In addition I can advise you to format RAW a very good program Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. I personally decided not to use this format. Besides that, he eats a lot of memory - processing it takes a very long time that the retake "nemnogostoyaschih" paintings simply irrational for me .... although it is really very high quality image format, and it's worth it!

P.S. Looks appetizing cake :-)

 Dactyloscopic effect (fingerprints) can even be seen ..

Oh, what are you women, observation! Remarkable all that we, rough guys, can not see! To my luck, it's not my prints. Photo did my daughter when to learn a new SLR camera Nikon D5000. Dabbled in child and I used this shot to explain the concept of "depth of field."

Seeing your post, I want to fully describe what I heard recently from a friend and photographer:

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a set of modern Adobe Photoshop and installed automatically. Yes, the format of Row requires more space, but not too terribly much. For instance, in jpg with the maximum quality (minimum compression) I get a picture size of about 7 MB. The same format row pulls about 20 MB.

Processing takes much time, if you know how to do it. It is very simple - straight from the program Adobe Photoshop download the file, say "kartina.row. This file is automatically loaded in the annex Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Are you interested in using only two engine, which will see the top right: Adjusts the white balance White balance - Temperature and exposure Exposure. On the rest can not pay attention until. By selecting the desired white balance and exposure, ie Wikipedia blemishes photography, you can complete the processing of the file. Press Open Image at the bottom right. Automatically creates a file with xmp, it will be called "kartina.xmp" - you do not even notice. Simultaneously, the file "kartina.row will open your window in the usual Photoshop. You can continue to process it further, and save in format jpg for future use or print.

What is the charm of this treatment? File kartina.xmp itself is useless. It can not be downloaded separately. It carries information about those patches that you made with the original file "kartina.row. Experiment - delete the file "kartina.xmp" or copy it to another location. Then when the new boot file "kartina.row" You will see that your changes have disappeared, and all returned to the original version.

Correct exposure and white balance by this method is much simpler and more accurate. Besides, you can not permanently damage the image your contribution, you can always start the job again.

In fact, the longer reading is my message, rather than do the operation, which I wrote.
