Types Of Photography

        

             How Many Types Of Photography Are There? 

There are over 35 types of  photos. Some of which are Ariel, Modelling, Nature, Night, Astrophotography, Black & White and Digi-scoping. These are just a few while the others will be mentioned in future posts. 

•  Aerial 

Aerial is photos that are taken from a height. But not just any height, it must be 20,000ft in the air. Example: Helicopter, Plane, Jet and any other airborne devices. 

                                                                                  

• Modelling

When 'model' is mentioned we think of people. Modelling does not always mean people who actually model. There are so many things to use as a 'model', for example you could use a famous art piece as a model for inspiration or a simple fruit bowl. Yes, there are famous models like Gigi Hadid, Cindy Crawford, Sean O'Pry and Francisco Lachowski. 

• Black & White 

Black & White can have many effects. It can show shadows, highlights and give a bit more importance to the photo. 

You will see this in the following pictures. 

• Nature 

Nature is taking photos of landscapes, oceans, animals, plants etc. All things that deal with nature. All of this is combined with angles also, as was said on one of my previous posts. 

• Night 

Night photos can be a beautiful things. You can use any technique to capture night photos, this also includes infrared photography. Infrared photography is a very special type of photography that uses sensors or films. Although infrared light is encountered most in everyday life, much of it goes unnoticed. Also, night photos can be taken from any angle, it doesn't matter how far, close, up or down, the picture will still look good once there is at least one or two lights. 

• Astrophotography 

Astrophotography, when we hear it, we think astronauts, space, pictures taken in space. Right? 
Well, you are partly correct, it is space photography but there is a telescope that is included to have pictures from 'space'. There is a camera to hook up with the telescope which will zoom towards space where the galaxy will be found. Also, the camera can be used to get snapshots of the Northern Lights if you are from or close by to the following places: Scandinavia Island,The Southern tip of Greenland, The Northern part of Canada, Alaska, Norway and the northern coast of Siberia. 

• Digi-Scoping

Digital pictures. It comes to mind when Digi-scoping is heard, but it is not digitally made. 
Digi-scoping is used by watching through binoculars and telescopes also. Binoculars are used to see close-ups of a certain animal, bird or thing. It is fascinating to see things close-up because you cannot see things that are far away.

Photos On Beaches & Turtles

                 

               Night Photos At Beaches

What comes to mind when thinking about photos on beaches, at night? You are probably thinking about stars, the moon and small waves rolling in.....Am I right? 

Well, what about the sea turtles that come up to the shore to lay their eggs. Now, imagine this, you want a picture of the turtles laying their eggs but there is one problem. You are not allowed to use bright lights. What do you do? 

Taking pictures of turtles are not allowed when they are digging their holes for eggs. To see what they are doing bright lights are not allowed. Red colored lights are only allowed as you will see in the photo below. 

                                           What Light To Use?

NATURAL LIGHTS

Red lights are used to watch turtles move because if bright lights are used they would stay still and not move or they return to the ocean. As you have seen the photo above there is a red light. Using bright lights can scare the turtles and can damage their eyes. 

Artificial light (flash light) disrupts the turtles, also turtles need natural which is the moon light. 

Red lights have the opposite effects so it helps the turtles. 

HOW TO TAKE PHOTOS OF THE TURTLES?

Here are some photos of Leather-Back Sea Turtles, now as mentioned above, bright lights are not allowed. But, there is the exception if the tour guide allows it you may use it. But only to take a few photos. Tour Guides are the only people who can tell you what to do. There will be a certain time when your tour guide says you can use your phones, cameras etc., that time will be when the turtle herself  is laying their eggs. Turtles lay their eggs 3-4ft into the sand, while laying they cry. It's not normal crying like humans, the salt water from the ocean comes out of their eyes. When turtles are finished laying, they cover their eggs with sand and disguise it with another "hump", that way predators will not be able to tell which one is the real nest. Now when they leave to go back into the ocean, you have to take off all lights, that does not include the red light. Tour Guides use the red light to help guide the turtles back to the ocean safely. 

Here is a video with my first experience. Enjoy!!

The Perfect Timing

            The Perfect Timing is Everything

The perfect timing has a lot to do with photography, like the picture you see above. Having the perfect timing, you can capture the unexpected timing of things, like for example your friends faces when laughing, your dog catching bubbles or even getting the sunset changing colors. There is a lot to do with timing. I know that timing can give give a successful or unsuccessful picture. You probably heard that "Timing is about everything" , and it is true that timing is about everything. Almost everything you do has timing. 

Here are some famous quotes by photographers who are successful and that had good timing of pictures.

• “In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”
  — Alfred Stieglitz

• “There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.”
  — Robert Frank

• “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
  — Aaron Siskind

• “A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”
  — Annie Leibovitz

• “We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.”
  — Ralph Hattersley

Taking The Perfect Picture

                   TAKING THE PERFECT PICTURE

Taking the perfect or right picture requires having a good camera and getting the good angle of the object. It can be any angle of the object once it is clear and the focus must be in the middle. Now, the flash on your phone, camera, Ipad etc., needs to be on when outside( if its dark) or if its not dark, use the sunlight to angle your picture. It should be like the picture below.

Photo Taken From An Angle

Now, as you see the 2 photos above, they are from different angles. The first, is the skateboard, the person who took the photo knew that the sunset would be a nice background to have a picture taken. They added the person on the skateboard to make it look more 'attractive'. In the first picture, you do not need a flash as the sun is most likely doing all the work for you.

In the second picture with the pencils, you see it has a dark/ black background. Now, the photographer knew that color pencils does not really make sense for a good photo. So what you or the photographer may want to do, is to have the flash on while taking a photo like this since you don't have a bright backyard like the previous picture. To make this picture look 'attractive', you can have the bright or dark color pencils or mixed (if you have an imaginary mind). In this picture, you see the photographer mixed it so that he can have a good photo.

 In conclusion, you need to have at least 2 or 3 good angles while taking a photo. Also, make sure you know how to use the flash on your phone or camera.

What Is Photography?

So, what is photography? When you Google it, you may find this "the art or practice of taking and processing photographs." 

Photography is the art of having a certain passion to take pictures. It is not because you love it and take pictures. People take photos for memories or some may do it just because its fun. There many reasons why we take pictures, some are : Memories, For fun, Friendships etc.  
Photography is the original form to taking pictures without using photo-shopping. When taking pictures, you focus on the person/ thing you want the picture of and then you have it.

WHO INVENTED THE CAMERA & TOOK THE FIRST PICTURE?

The first camera was invented in 1685 by Johann Zahn but, he was not the first one to click the first photo. In the year 1814, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.

Joseph was a French inventor, who is now known for inventing the camera even though it was not him.
