        WHAT IS

                         PHOTOGRAPHY ?


Photography is the process of capturing emotions through pixels. If I say technically, it is the process of capturing the lights reflecting from a surface that is put on a particular sensor which creates a sharp image.  The definition may vary from person to person. But to me, it is something that relates to emotions. Starting from every happy hour to heart whelming situations, we do preserve the moments through photographs. Photography is one of the most accepted and the most popular way of expressing emotions which is seen among people from all the age.

 

                                                     THE BASICS

                                                              of PHOTOGRAPHY 

There are some common and crucial facts that need to be followed while taking a good photograph of something or someone. At first, a photographer has to evolve himself/herself with three basic concepts: SHUTTER SPEED, APERTURE and ISO. These three make a triangle which is called "The Triangle of Photography." By maintaining a balanced amount among themselves, a perfect photograph can be taken. Firstly, shutter speed defines the opening and closing interval of a shutter that protects the sensor from being exposed to light. Secondly, aperture refers to a flexible hole that controls the density of light passing through the lens. Lastly, ISO(International Standards Organization) is a software based exposure controlling method which allows the user to brighten or darken his/her image which is done digitally. And by keeping the balance between these three methods, a perfect exposure photo can be captured. There are some other basics like composition, lighting , color grading which is developed within a person by doing more and more practice


        GENRES

                of PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography has diverse genres and categories, which is different in techniques from each other. Here are some of the most common genres of photography: 

 

         PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

This genre of photography involves taking picture of a person or particularly his/her face. Through this the characteristics or the personality can be highlighted  depending on the surroundings of that person.

                            PHOTOGRAPHY

                                      and EDITING


PHOTOGRAPHY and EDITING are complements of each other . Once you're done taking a good photograph, there remains the editing part. A good understanding of  colors and grading is the most essential part while editing a picture. It doesn't  grow overnight. A constant flow of practice and experimenting with newer presets help the photographer to get a good knowledge about color and grading. There are two uncommon factors, "Overediting" and "underediting" . Once you get used to editing, you develop an idea balancing all the colors together and bringing out the accurate color tone depending on you image's environment. Moreover, the idea "Manipulation" totally depends on how good you are at editing and reconstructing images. It needs to have a really good idea of using software like  "Adobe Photoshop", "Adobe Lightroom" and many more. Even manipulation videography can be constructed using such software and accurate skills. 







IN CONCLUSION photography is something that comes from within the heart. It's the method to express one's feelings and emotions. Everybody got the potential to become a good photographer. Just by following what the soul says, what the soul sees outstanding photographs can be taken. Thank you staying with me. Drop a comment!

Evolution of film industry via technology

The film industry has come a long way since the very first motion picture was made in 1895. Since then, the industry has evolved in countless ways, from the technology used to make films to the content and themes depicted on screen. In this blog, we'll explore the evolution of the film industry and some of the major changes that have occurred over the years. Evolution of film industry One of the biggest changes in the film industry has been the technology used to make films. Early films were made using hand-cranked cameras and projectors, which resulted in low-quality, silent movies. However, the invention of sound in film in the late 1920s changed everything. Suddenly, filmmakers had a new tool to help them tell their stories, and films became more engaging and immersive. The introduction of colour film in the 1930s and 1940s added another layer of complexity to the art form, allowing filmmakers to use colour to convey mood and emotion in new and exciting ways. The invention of ne...
