Canon Explains Exposure

Canon Explains Exposure
A Little About Exposure: Exposure is the amount of light a digital camera's sensor captures when a photo is taken. Too much light results in a washed out photo (overexposed). Too little light and the photo will be too dark (underexposed). A camera's Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO settings directly affect exposure, but more importantly, they allow you to control how each photo will look. Aperture - Control the amount of blur or sharpness around your subject. What it is and what it does: The aperture setting controls the size of the lens opening that allows light into your camera.You can blur the foreground and background that bracket your subject (known as shallow depth of field) by opening up the aperture with a low f-stop number; alternatively, you can keep your photo sharp from the foreground through to the background (known as wide depth of field) by closing the aperture down with a high f-stop number. Foreground and background blur make the subject stand out. Back To Top

How To Make a Cool Cinemagraph Image in Photoshop No doubt you’ll have heard of the term Cinemagraph since it exploded onto the Internets. Originally coined by Photographers Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck, a cinemagraph is a clever revival of the classic animated GIF. It combines features of video and photography to create a the illusion of a still image but with cool motion effects. Let’s take a look at how to create your own animated GIF cinemagraph by playing around with Photoshop’s animation tools. Some of the best cinemagraph examples can be found on the creators’ own website. As the popularity of the cinemagraph grew we began to see mobile apps such as Cinemagram emerge, which allows the easy creation of amateur cinemagraphs using the device’s built in camera. Cinemagraphs require some kind of motion, so while the final image looks much more similar to a photograph than a video, we need to begin with actual video footage. Use a tripod. Alternatively you could always play around with existing stock video footage. Download this file

Open Xerox: imaging-demos Service Home Page Xerox has extensive expertise in computer vision and imaging and this site presents some of our technologies through a range of easy to use demos. In many cases we use a combination of methods to solve real-world digital information management problems ranging from stock photography, digital asset management and personalised imaging through to cross-media search and smarter document technologies. We include here some mature technologies, and also some experimental demos which are in beta (or even alpha!) New ideas and demos will come and go on the page, as we try out new things and get user feedback. Similar Image Search For many applications, you need to search for similar images based on an image query -- rather than a keyword search on the web which returns images from related web pages that contain those keywords. This demo also allows you to retrieve images based on the output of our image classifier, which you can try out in more detail in the demo below! Image Categorizer

DIY Remote Shutter Release Cable / Trigger for Canon Cameras A wired remote shutter release cable can be very useful when taking photos with the camera mounted on a tripod, particularly with longer exposures, as it minimizes camera shake. This is more so in case of macro photography. Let us build a remote shutter release cable / trigger for canon cameras from materials easily available in your household. What you will need for this project A 2.5mm stereo plug Some wire (depending upon the length you wish your cable to have) Two Switches A case to hold the set-up Tools you will need for the job A Drill Soldering Iron and some lead I decided to make use of this stereo chord because it comes along with many electronic appliances and I have a couple more with me. Since the stereo chord is standard size chord we will use a step down adapter that will convert it into a 2.5mm stereo plug. Cut the stereo pin from one end of the wire. Now we need a case to hold the switches. Drill two holes on the front panel to hold the switches.
