俄罗斯相机

俄罗斯相机

Zorki相机也生产自KMZ，它也是二战之后，徕卡II最初的复制品。

但Zorki继续发展出自己独特的变化。

就好象徕卡一样，他们是测距相机。原泽尼特单反相机垄断了Zorki相机的市场。

现在 Zorki已经不再生产，但可在网上以大概３０美元的价格购买。

由于采用橡胶快门，在拍摄照片时，他们会发出一种非常独特的声音。

FED也是测距相机，它也是徕卡II的复制品。不过，FED拥有自己的公司，并曾在二战前生产过相机。

该公司的历史是非常有趣的。它的基地位于现代的乌克兰，在20世纪30年代，它甚至生产过限量版相机给斯大林的秘密警察。

FED和Zorki都使用M39镜头卡口 – 又称徕卡主题安装或LTM，有着一样的螺钉安装。

从理论上讲，早期的徕卡相机，FED和Zorki都可以使用相同的镜头。

Print size PPI and DPI

Print size PPI and DPI

Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image.

Resolution is identified by the width and height of the image as well as the total number of pixels in the image.

PPI: Pixels per inch.

Most commonly used to describe the pixel density of a screen (computer monitor, smart phone, etc…) but can also refer to the pixel density of a digital image.

DPI: Dot’s per inch.

The number of dots in a printed inch.

The more dot’s the higher the quality of the print (more sharpness and detail).

 

The basic equation for calculating PPI is:

PPI = height(pixels)/ height of image (inches).

So, for example, if you want to print a 4-inch-by-6-inch image, and your pixel count is 800 x 1200, you need to divide 800 (the pixel height) by 4 (the photo height) and then divide 1200 (the pixel width) by 6 (the photo width).

 

The PPI will be 200, providing you with good quality photos.

However, if you want to print a larger photo, for example 8-inch-by-10-inch photo, the PPI reduces to 100 for width and 120 for height, giving you lower quality prints

Understanding Light

Understanding Light

2 types of light sources natural light and artificial light.

How to use natural light?
How to use artificial light?
How to mixed together to use?

Light properties: Absorption, reflection and transmission.

4 Basic Characteristics of Light
Intensity
Quality
Direction
Color temperature

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

 








Two main factors determine the quality of light is the size and its distance from the subject.

In photography, the golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour) is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky.
