It makes sense, therefore to take another look at the intense light effects area of design and experiment with a range of techniques to produce our own vibrant artwork.
When you are first buying camera equipment you see a lot of lenses that have the IS or VR designations on them. This is Image Stabilization or Vibration Reduction. They mean the same thing except Canon uses the first term and Nikon uses the second. These are mechanisms built into the camera lens to prevent "camera shake". I will discuss how to get rid of camera shake and why I purchased a VR lens for myself. What is Camera Shake? When you are holding your camera in your hands and looking through the view finder to take your photo, your body is making slight movements. This is a natural thing as your body is always correcting itself and your muscles move to help maintain your balance. However, it causes slight movements in your camera. When your camera is zoomed in on a subject that is a reasonable distance away, these slight movements become more noticeable. For example. If your hand slightly shakes and turns your camera 1 degree off its line of direction and your subject is 15 feet away, this would correspond to 3.1 inches being added in the direction your camera turned. Now say that the movement of your hand happened when you took your picture and while the shutter was open. This would blur the image on film or on your digital image. How Do I Prevent My Pictures From Blurring? There are 3 ways to prevent this. 1. Make sure you have a shutter speed fast enough so that your hand movements don't affect the picture. 2. Use a tripod. 3. Have a lens with vibration reduction or image stabilization. Each of these methods have their pros and cons. 1. Have a Fast Enough Shutter Speed Ideally, you would want this situation every time. The rule of thumb is that you need a shutter speed of 1 over the focal length your lens is set at. So if you are zoomed all the way in with your 300mm lens, you would want 1/300 second shutter speed or better (so 1/320 on the standard camera). This will usually guarantee (for the average user) the shutter won't be open long enough to make your hand movements noticeable on the final image If you have steady hands you will be able to get away with a slower speed. The catch here is will you have enough light to expose your picture. If it is the middle of a bright day you are fine. If it is darker you might have to use a more sensitive film, but this will cause your picture to be grainier. Note: When you see expensive lenses with the same zoom capability as a cheaper lens, look at the maximum aperture for this lens. Chances are it will...

I recently communicated with a woman who uses her digital camera in her work as an artist. She creates beautiful pictures of flowers and nature. She wants to get a new camera and mentioned that her current one doesn't have image stabilization. I'm not going to go into the type of camera I would recommend for her at this point. However, it's important to keep the end uses in mind. It's possible that her money might be better spent on purchasing a good tripod versus worry about image stabilization or vibration reduction with her camera. Here's the lowdown on Image Stabilization (IS) or Vibration Reduction (VR) This information was taken from my book, �Snap: the ultimate guide to digital photography for the consumer.� �A key way that manufacturers have been able to get around the digital noise produced with small sensors in consumer digital cameras is to add vibration technology. This is accomplished on the low end by adding this technology into the consumer digital cameras and on the high end into the lenses themselves. Sometimes Vibration Reduction (VR) is called Image Stabilization. Vibration reduction involves small sensors that send information to your camera's microprocessor to counteract extra movement. You should be very aware when you don't have VR in your camera, because you will be hard-pressed to take acceptable photographs in low light situations. This feature especially when combined with a higher ISO value such as 800 and beyond, will allow you to capture even more photographs in low light situations. If you keep your camera on automatic (I shudder at the thought), then you'll notice less blur in your photographs. If you put your camera on shutter priority mode, you should be able to get a slower shutter speed with the same aperture. Without VR, you might have been able to take a photograph in the evening at F3.5 and at 1/30th of a second. The VR system will allow you to take a photograph at 1/8th of a second with the same aperture thus extending the time you can take photographs in the early morning or evening by a few minutes. The DSLR camera class takes the most advantage of VR technology, because VR technology is built into the lens. There are two angular velocity sensors, one for pitch (vertical movement) and one for yaw (horizontal movement). Movement is determined by combining the results of pitch and yaw and sending this information back to a microprocessor built into the lens during very frequent interval such as every 1/1,000 second. ...
In this tutorial, we will create a modern cool looking multicoloured wallpaper.?? Though it's a tutorial for wallpaper design, but can be successfully used for many other applications like fliers, posters, postcards and a host of other stationery and desktop publishing designs.
This easy Photoshop post-processing technique shows how to transform a dull looking photo coming out of a digital camera and get the vibrant colours it should have.
