PHOTOGRAPHY IS WRITING WITH LIGHT No light means no picture. Photography needs light to be able to reflect something. There are different sorts of light, defining the look and feel and mood of a picture. When no natural light is available, we can add light to the subject.

4/Technique
Thursday 2 June 2011
Technique IS KEY But doesn’t make a good picture. It is important to use the right technique: the right kind of film, the right light, the right choice of objective, with an aparture or speed that fits the subject. For one purpose: make the picture what it can be. But only technique doesn’’t make a good picture. It all starts with seeing the subject and framing it. Thursday 2 June 2011

SHUTTERSPEED. How long the shutter is open. Fast ‘click’ or long ‘cliiiiiick’ Makes a picture ‘moved’ (slow shutterspeed) or ‘frozen’. Generally: through speed you can add dynamics, by moving elements. 1/60 is the standard value: it is fast enough so you don’t move yourself. For everything below it is advisable to use a tripod.
