WHAT IS PHOTOGRAPHY?

WIKIPEDIA TALK ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY

I completely love what I do and I also love how people feel about it, the word for today is for you to lean it in the Wikipedia way. do you have any image capture device and you don’t know where to start?

well here are a some Wikipedia publication about photography that will help you go through a professional and  a technical understanding of photography, as it will provide you with some insight and inspiration.


One thing I can’t do here is to lie, some of the TOPICS here are too technical to be enjoyable. It look as if it was published by and for professional photographic scientists. 

let’s get a look at some of the Wikis articles! We’ll start at the top.

Photography – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photography – here is  the main wikipedia article. if you’ve never browsed a photography article before! You can also find other extensive list of articles.




TECHNICAL STUFF: PHOTOGRAPHY CONCEPTS

How cameras work.

Shutter Speed – Another way of controlling light level leve hits the sensor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutter_speed . You could think as how fast the camera blinks. 
Aperture – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture – Basically aperture is the hole that controls how much light goes through the lense. 
Exposure – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_(photography) – The post does not say this straight but exposure is basically how the above 3 points interact to create your photo. 
Rule of Thirds – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds – this rule help is the composition of your image in the frame
Film Speed – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed –commonly known with cameras as ISO along with shutter speed and aperture are the 3 ways of controlling exposure of your photo. 
Depth of Field – We often times we asked how we make our subjects pop-out of our photos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field (blurring the background and the foreground). Here you will understand the concept
Interesting Techniques To Try
Panning – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panning_(camera) – Can be used to achieve great shots where background is motion blurred while the subject is less blurred. 
Zoom Burst – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_burst – it’s a  fun thing to try with a zoom lens.

Types of Photography


Remarkable Photographers
Good photographers need to be respected, honored, treasured irrespective because of the kind of niche they go into and promoted for them self and by them self.
Long lists of wikipedia’s photographers I can’t even attempt going through, instead what I would suggest is heading over to TopPhotography in Nigeria – seeing which photographers interest you and then get to search for them on Wikipedia if you really feel so inclined!

Don’t spend all your day reading photography and photos, go out and make it happen, shoot some photos!
