A little help with understanding camera exposure.
One way to think of exposure is like a seesaw. As one child rises a given distance on the seesaw, the other falls by the same amount. Their average distance from the ground is always the same. With your camera set to autoexposure, as you change the aperture or shutter speed to let in more or less light, the other setting changes in the opposite direction to keep the exposure constant.

Trying to get more involved in photography… maybe wanting to improve… maybe turn professional?
You may want to do a bit of research, as the stock industry has changed a great deal with the advent of digital. Now, there is a surplus of digital images that has driven down the rates of return for photographers. Some agencies, such as istockphoto, operate on a quantity basis and are a cheap source of images for businesses. But the lower the rate, the smaller your cut as a photographer so you may need a large quantity of images to make money with stock photography. On the other hand, if you shoot large quantities of images that are in demand but not often photographed, like food, then this may be an option to consider.

It isn’t a bad idea to have a less expensive to practice with. Reconditioned digital cameras aren’t a bad idea either.
Here are some good tips, by way of video…basic but good.

A SLR digital camera requires some special consideration in the cold weather. One needs to ensure that the camera does not become damaged. The following camera care tips should help:
Reconditioned digital cameras to view:
1. Make sure you have spare batteries - batteries tend to wear out faster in cold conditions. Try to keep the spares warm by putting them in a pocket close to your body.
2. Bring along your camera bag and some plastic bags big enough for your camera. By placing your camera inside the plastic bag and then inside your camera bag, you will help limit condensation forming on your camera when you go back inside.
3. Try to keep your camera inside your jacket - close to your body - when you aren’t using it.
4. Before you go back inside, wrap your camera in a thick plastic bag and put it back in your camera bag. Try to keep the bag air-tight. This will cut down on any condensation that can form both outside and inside your camera, causing damage.
5. If possible, warm your camera up slowly by placing it in an unheated room for a while before moving it to a warmer location in the house. Remember to keep it sealed in the plastic bag until it has reached room temperature.

Want sharper images at lower shutter speeds? Famous photographer Joe McNally shows us a tip on how to hold your camera to achieve this.
Most people are a“right eye” shooter normally, but I’m going to try this technique using my left eye instead and see what happens. He says that you’ll be able to shoot at shutter speeds (while hand-holding your camera) that you never thought possible. Give it a try and see what happens! Check out the video at the end of this post.
Consumers Women are taking a greater interest in, and have a more sophisticated understanding of electronics than ever before. Women actually spent more on technology last year than men, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. It says women accounted for $55 billion of the $96 billion spent on electronics gear (statistic from a January 6 CEA press release). Women are increasingly interested in gadgets, from DVD players to digital cameras, for themselves or birthday gifts for their families. Almost a third of women consider themselves early adopters willing to buy cutting-edge consumer technology. CEA reported that women in the United States are becoming more likely to use consumer electronics. CEA’s study provides detailed information about the attitudes, purchase considerations, decision influences, purchase channels, current product ownership, and future purchase intent. Here are some of the findings: • Women are involved in 89 percent of all consumer electronics purchase decisions. • 84% of women believe that new technologies can improve their lives. • 48% of women age 18–34 own a digital camera. The CEA survey noted that women have very positive reactions to specific technology areas, like HDTV, cell phones, and digital photography. Women have more buying power and they increasingly use technology to manage their busy schedules.

The digital camera - Blown highlights -canon digital cameras - a view. An article on understanding what Blown highlights are.
The histogram function on digital cameras is a picture lifesaver. Before digital there was no way of seeing blown highlights or dramatically underexposed areas, but today you can quickly assess the image and its histogram and correct the exposure to get it close to perfect.
One of the important uses of the histogram on the camera is ensuring that there are no blown or burned out highlights in pictures.
Loss of details in the highlights is the biggest problem with digital images. In most cases there will be details left to salvage in the dark areas, but once the light areas go pure white (or pure any color - you can also blow one color channel at the time), there is nothing left to save.
Blown-out highlights is the enemy number one of the digital photographer, and they should be avoided using all means. Unless it’s a goal in itself to overexpose, like in high key pictures, you should try your best to avoid loosing details in the light areas of the picture. Details can often be found in the dark areas, but once they are gone in the highlights, that’s it. They’re gone.
This can be avoided by looking at the histograms.

It really helps to understand the histogram. To view the Kodak digital cameras, click this link.
Possibly the most useful tool available in digital photography is the histogram. It could also well be the least understood. Histograms are a very useful tool that many cameras offer their users to help them get a quick summary of the tonal range present in any given image.
Most higher-end digital cameras support a histogram feature that can be displayed before or after you take a photo. Though it looks like a complex chart, a histogram is merely a representation of an image’s brightness.
The histogram tells the photographer and how best to utilize the information. The beauty of a histogram is that the small LCD display on your camera will give you an idea of a picture. Checking the histogram can tell you this while you’re in a position to be able to adjust your settings and take another shot.

I recently looked at a nice photography done in sepia tone. It was a striking photo! I wanted to look-up some info. and black & white photography, came-up with this just excellent article. I also viewed some fujifilm finepix digital cameras. To view, here is the Link: fujifilm finepix.
Black and White photography, it draws one’s self into the detail of an image rather than the vibrant color which is absent from their eye. A color photograph draws one to a specific color. A black and white photo can draw one’s self into the depth in which it captures. Depending on the style, a photo may encompass a shadow as the main subject or rather the lack thereof. Black and white develops into a pursuit of detail and majesty. I would like to share some tips on shooting the best possible black and white photos as possible.
I will refer to Black and White as B&W.
Tip #1 Shoot in RAW
It is obvious that most people are unaware of the now loved RAW setting on their cameras. All things considered I am aware that not everyone has a camera capable of shooting in this mode. Shooting in Raw offers more control not only in the post processing period but also when converting the picture to B&W. If your camera does support RAW, Use it! The normal JPEG format will work, though in the end RAW will produce a far superior photo. Once you become familiar with RAW you will never go back.
