Abstract
- The less realistic an image looks, the more appealing its abstract quality will be
- Use some of the other techniques such as panning, cross polarisation, grain, infrared, and zooming.
Advanced Exposure
- In tricky lighting you can avoid exposure error by taking a meter reading from an 18% grey card held in front of your subject.
- It's a good idea to make notes of the exposure you use to take pictures in tricky lighting.
- Intentionally underexposing color transparency film by 1/3 to 1/2 stop can increase color saturation.
- When using color transparency film it's normal practice to expose for the highlights and leave the shadows to their own devices, but with negative film you should expose to record detail in the shadows, as the highlights can be "burned-in" at the printing stage.
- Bracketing, one metered, one over it or under it in 1/3, 1/2, or full stop.
- Using a handheld meter
Autumn Glory
- The optimum time to photograph woodland before the leaves begin to fall only lasts a few days
- Create autumn still-life pictures by collecting things that are associated with the season, such as leaves, berries and fungi.
- The weather can change very quickly during autumn, so be prepared to brave the elements - it may be raining when you set out, but within minutes the sun may break through.
Backlighting
- Remember that you can produce completely different effects by varying the exposure when shooting into the light.
- If you shoot backlit portraits, brighten up you subject's face using a burst of fill-in flash.
- Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to take contre-jour pictures outdoors, as the sun is low in the sky making it easier to include in your pictures.
Black & White
- To produce successful b & w pictures you need to think slightly differently, and look at your subject in terms of its texture and form rather than color.
- Some colors look very similar in b & w -- red and green record as the same shade of grey, for example. To avoid this, use colored filters -red, orange, yellow, green and blue are the most common. They work by lightening their own color and darkening their complementary color.
- Colored filters can also boost contrast to give your b & w pictures more impact. An orange filter makes blue sky look much darker so that white clouds stand out. For instance.
Close-ups
- Try to use smallest aperture f/16 or f/22 to record all of subject in sharp focus.
- Choose the background to your close-ups carefully. Anything plain, such as green foliage, is ideal. Carry a few pieces of card in your gadget bag. So they can be slipped behind your subject to create a backdrop.
- Use white reflectors to fill in shadows and provide more evenly lit results when shooting close-ups in available light.
- A small, low-powered flashgun is ideal for close-up photography. The light is quite harsh but, because the source is very big in relation to the size of your subject, it will give soft, flattering illumination.
Colorful creations
- Slight underexposure - 1/2 or 1/3 stop - will also make colors look more intense when shooting slide film.
- For maximum impact, juxtapose colors in a picture that contrast with each other, such as yellow and blue.
- Red is the most dominant color of all, and will dominate a picture even when it only occupies a tiny area.
Depth-of-Field
- Get into the habit of checking the depth-of-field scale on your lens before taking a picture, so you have a clear idea of what is likely to be in and out of focus.
- Depth-of-field extends roughly twice as far behind the point of focus as it does in front, so a 'Heath Robinson' way of maximising depth-of-field is to set your lens to its smallest aperture and focus roughly one-third into the scence.
Fill-in Flash
- Fill-in flash can be used to add sparkle to portraits taken on a dull day.
- Fill-in flash doesn't have to be reserved just for portraiture - it's also a handy technique to use when you need to brighten up any close-up subject.
- Once you've mastered the art of fill-in flash, why not experiment with other interesting flash techniques, such as slowsync or filtered flash.
Firework
- Aperture f/16, f/22, shutter B, or 30-60 s
Floodlit Buildings
- The optimum time to begin photographing floodlit buildings is at the point after sunset when ambient (daylight) levels are similar to the artificial light levels. At this time, the floodlit building will stand out from its surroundings, but there will still be enough daylight left to record detail in the unit areas, and plenty of color in the sky to provide an attractive backdrop.
- If the building fills most or all of the camera's viewfinder, you may find that by leaving the exposure to its integral metering system you get perfect results.
Flower Power
- Photograph flowers when they are still fresh, otherwise the colors tend to fade and the petals begin to wither.
- Dead flowers also make interesting subjects when laid out on slate or an old panted door, so once you've finished with the fresh flowers, leave them to dry for a couple of weeks, then take some more pictures.
- Spend time experimenting with different compositions and lenses to see how many pictures you can take of a single flower.
Frame a Scene
- Landscape and architectural pictures lend themselves to the inclusion of frames, so look out for suitable features when you're exploring a location.
- Frames can be created where none appear to exist by adopting an unusual viewpoint from which to photograph the scene. If you crouch down low among a bed of tulips, for example, the tall flowers will frame the scene beyond.
- Use frames to cover up annoying details in a scene, such as a litter bins, colorful signs and other features that would catch the eye and cause an unwanted distraction.
Grain
- Use ultra-fast film
- Use filters to enhance the painterly, grainy effect - soft-focus an warm-up filters work well with fast color film, adding a wonderful 'dreamy' feel to the image.
- Choose lighting conditions carefully, Fast color slide film generally performs better in soft, low contrast light, while black and white film can be used successfully in any conditions.
- Grain can be used to enhance photographs of all types of subjects - landscapes, nudes, architecture, still-lifes, flowers, portraits and many more.
Line-out
- Whenever you see a long, straight road, you could take a picture of it with a wide-angle lens.
- Learn to look for lines in a scene, and don't always expect them to be obvious. Repeated features such as trees, electricity pylons and telegraph poles can all add impact to a composition, even though at first glance their effect may not be seen.
- You can vary the effect lines have on a composition by altering camera format. If you hold the camera horizontally, for example, horizontal lines will be emphasised, whereas turning the camera on its side will make better use of vertical lines.
Neon Signs
- Use filters to make your pictures more interesting. A starburst will turn bright points of light into twinkling stars, while a multiple image will multiply the sign to produce eye-catching pictures.
- Illuminated signs are ideal subjects for the 'zooming' technique. As light levels are low you will have plenty of time to zoom through the focal length range, turning an ordinary sign into an explosion of colorful streaks.
- Some signs flicker. If you photograph this type of sign, watch it first and make sure you use an exposure that's long enough so the whole sign is illuminated while your camera's shutter is open.
- You can use exactly the same methods outlined above to photograph scenes such as outdoor Christmas illuminations, or seaside illuminations.
Panning
- You need to have very quick reactions to to capture fast-moving subjects such as racing cars.
- Autofocusing can help to ensure your subject is sharply focused, but most sport and action photographers prefer to focus manually on a predetermined point.
- Add extra drama to your panning shots by using electronic flash to create 'slow-sync' images.
- You can create a similar effect to panning by moving alongside a moving subject at the same speed and photographing while you're in motion. This technique, commonly referred to as 'tracking', works particularly well when photographing cars and motorbikes through the open window of another car.
Panoramic Pictures
- Depth-of-field is not as extensive as you might think, so whenever possible use a small aperture and use the depth-of-field scale on the lens to check the nearest and furthest points of sharp focus.
Patterns
- Urban area are ideal places to find patterns - look closely at office blocks, windows, doors, street furniture, road markings, the designs painted on cars, vans, buses and lorries, fancy brickwork and paving, and displays in shop windows and on market stalls.
- Building sites and builder's yards are also perfect locations. Piles of bricks, concrete blocks, timber, drainpipes, roofing slates, gravel, paving slabs. buckets, reinforcement bars, scaffold tubes and ladders are just some of the subjects that create patterns.
- In the countryside, nature patterns abound, such as furrows in a ploughed field, stone walls, rows of flowers and crops, trees in woodland, and so on.
Perspective and Scale
- Creating a sense of depth, scale and distance is vitally important - especially in scenic photography - so always think very carefully about how you can achieve it when composing a picture.
- If you look around, it's possible to find something to suggest scale or depth in most scenes. Sometimes you may be able to include more than one.
- The quality of light can make a big difference to a picture. Strong side-lighting reveals texture and modeling and the inclusion of shadows in a picture suggests depth; on the other hand, pictures taken with the sun behind you tend to look rather flat because the shadows are falling away from the camera and out of sight.
Polarising Filters
- Polarisers work best in bright, sunny weather when glare and reflections are more pronounced and there's more polarised light around.
- When using a polariser to deepen blue sky, ideally keep the sun to one side of the camera so you are aiming towards the area of sky where maximum polarisation occurs. In this way, you will get the strongest effect.
- Polarisation is uneven across the sky, so take care when using lenses wider than 35mm, otherwise the sky in your pictures may be darker on one side than the other and the effect looks odd.
- To remove reflections from surfaces such as water and glass, the angle between the surface and the lens axis must be around 30 degree. You can find this by making slight adjustments to your position, then rotating the polariser to see what happens.
- Polarising filters reduce the light entering our lens by two stops.
- Polarising filters can sometimes give your pictures a slight blue color cast when used in bright, sunny weather. To remove this, use an 81B or 81C warm-up filter.
Rule-of-Thirds
- Photographers mainly use the rule-of-thirds for landscape and scenic pictures, but it's just as useful for still-lifes, portraiture, architecture photography, close-ups, and any subject where there's a main point of interest or natural divisions in the scence.
- Although the rule-of-thirds is a useful aid in composition, never force a picture to comply with it - or with any other rule for that matter. Doing so will make your work predictable, and, more importantly, boring.
Shoot a Theme
- An interesting theme you can produce literally anywhere is to photograph the same scene with the same lens, from exactly the same position every month of the year, to record how seasonal changes affect it. Alternatively, photograph the same scene eery hour from sunrise to sunset, to show how it changes throughout a single day.
- When you've completed your theme, why not select your favorite pictures from it, have a small print made from each, then mount them all side by side in one frame to produce an interesting collage of images.
Silhouettes
- Make sure your main subject forms an easily recognisable shape when reduced to a silhouette.
- Keep your composition simple to avoid messy, confusing images, and look for clear, clutter-free backgrounds.
- Your camera's integral metering system will give well exposed results in most situations, but you will have to take care if the background is very bright.
- Use colored filters to brighten up dull backgrounds.
Simple Still-Lifes
- Patience, creativity and imagination are the three most important aspects of still-life potography - you have to create the picture before you can take it, instead of simply shooting what's already there.
- Choose your props carefully so that they relate to each other, and so they form an attractive composition.
- Still-life photography has no time limit, so never rush a shot. You can leave the props in position for days if necessary, while you experiment with different compositions and lighting set-ups or work on different ideas with the same objects.
- Keep your eyes peeled for interesting objects while you're out and about, or browsing through junk shops and car boot sales, and gradually build up a collection of props that can be used in future sill-lifes.
- Remember to keep things simple. If you over-complicate a composition it will lose impact and create confusion.
Soft-Focus effect
- Soft focus subdues fine detail, so take care when using it on subject which rely on this for their appeal.
- Color saturation will be slightly reduced too, so if you photograph a scene containing strong colors, don't expect them to look as strong on the final image.
- With home-made soft-focus filters, cut a small hole in the center so part of the image will be rendered sharp while the area around it shows the soft-focus effect.
- When shooting backlit subjects and scenes, overexpose your pictures slightly - by a half-stop - to make the bright background burn out a little and to enhance the romantic feel of the image.
- Like any effect, soft focus can become a little tiresome if you over-use it.
- When adding soft focus to an image at the printing stage, you can minimise the effect by only holding the filter under the enlarger lens for part of the exposure.
Stormy weather
- If the sun is behind you, you should be able to take perfectly exposed pictures by relying on your camera's integral metering system. If your camera has a spot metering mode, you could use it to take a meter reading from the sunlit foreground.
- If you're shooting into the sun the sky will be very bright and could cause underexposure. To prevent this, set your camera to manual exposure mode, tilt it down to exclude the sky from the viewfinder, take a meter reading direct from the sunlit foreground and use the exposure when you re-compose.
- If you have a handheld meter, a much quicker method is to set up the shot with the graduated filter on your lens. Then, when the sun breaks through, take an incident reading of the light falling on the landscape, set the exposure on your camera and take the picture.
Sunset
- Always fit a lens hood to your lens when shooting a sunset, to prevent flare which will ruin the picture.
- Use an 81C or 81D filter so as to make your sunset pictures even warmer. In hazy or overcast weather when the sunset is weak, you could even use an orange 85-series filter, or a 'sunset' graduate.
- To ensure a perfect result, bracket exposures over and under the meter reading your camera sets. Do this using your camera's exposure compensation facility and bracket one stop over and under in half-stop increments.
Traffic Trails
- Roundabouts make good locations for traffic trail pictures as you can record moving and stationary traffic in the same picture.
- Bracket your exposures by using different exposure times to ensure that at least one picture is perfect. If you first exposure is 30 s at f/16, take others at 45, 60 and 90 s.
- Remember the best time to shoot traffic trails is during the period after sunset when there is still some color in the sky to add an attractive backdrop.
Unusual Viewpoints
- Instead of automatically holding your camera at eye-level to take a picture, try using it in ways you've never thought of before.
- When shooting from ground level, set your lens to a small aperture so there's sufficient depth-of-field to record everything in sharp focus.
- Clamps, suckers and other accessories are available that will allow you to place your camera in the most unusual places.
Waterfalls
- For the best results, include stationary features, such as rocks, in your picture so they will come out pin-sharp and help to emphasise the blurred effect of the water.
- Use a telephoto lens to home in on more interesting parts of a waterfall, rather than always trying to capture the whole thing with a wide-angle lens.
- Look out for interesting details to photograph in fast-flowing rivers and streams, such as a solitary leaf caught on a rock in the middle of the flow, or water flowing around a fallen tree. Anything that breaks up the regular flow of the water will produce more interesting images.
- If you are taking pictures close to a large waterfall or weir, protect your camera and lens from the flying spray by placing it in a polythene bag.
Windowlit Portraits
- To soften the light coming through a window, fix a sheet of white cotton muslin or tracing paper over it.
- In late afternoon, hang net curtains over the window to create dappled shadow patterns across your subject's face.
- You can control the amount of light coming through a window by simply pulling the curtains closer together so that the size of the window is reduced.
Winter wonderland
- Early morning and mid-afternoon are generally the best times to shoot. This is because the sun is low in the sky so it casts long, cool shadows which add interest to your pictures.
- To prevent underexposure in a snow ground, take a general meter reading, then, using your camera's exposure compensation facility, increase it by 1 1/2stops (set +1.5) for photographs taken in weak sunshine or that contain darker and two stops (set +2).
Zooming
- Zoom your lens from one extreme of the focal length range to the other while the camera's shutter is open and a picture is being taken.
- The best results tend to be produced by photographing static or relatively slow-moving subjects.
- The key to success is setting your camera to a shutter speed that's long enough for you to zoom the lens through its focal length range - ideally at least 1/15 or 1/8 second - and zooming at an even pace to ensure you get a smooth effect.
- For even better effects, try panning the camera and zooming the lens at the same time so that you get blurred streaks in two directions.

Alameda Creek Trail 西起SF BAY, 东到Niles Canyon. 全程在Fremont境内是沿着Alameda Creek, 一共12MILES. 今天走了最西的一段往返共7.1M.
下午3点半来到Alameda Creek Stables Staging Area. 从这里开始沿着Alameda Creek一路向西朝SF Bay走. 前面左方是Coyote Hills Regional Park. 不时有水鸟从草丛中突然飞出. 一派田园风光. 太阳离地还有两尺, 但我知道5点左右太阳就会落山. 不知道在天黑之前能不能走到湾的边上.
这里其实很荒. 周围基本都是沼澤, 芦苇. 走出2MILES以后就看不到其他人了. 但路边的景色却十分迷人. 在这秋末冬初之季, 芦苇是金黄的, 水草是深红的, 再加上由于前两天下雨的缘故, 有些山坡已经开始变绿了. 真是五色斑斓. 间或有一两只白鹭点缀在枯草之间显得格外醒目.
溪水已经很浅. 有些地方已经干涸了. 但有水的地方还能看到许多野鸭, 大雁等. 看到溪边立着一块告示牌, 内容是打野鸭子是合法的. 但必须要驾船在溪中. 想想不禁哑然失笑, 看看现在的溪水最深也不过尺把, 如何驾船呢? 不过在美国人人爱护动物, 保护环境. 人和动物和平相处,和谐自然.
越往前走越感觉距离遥远. 也许是心理作用, 怎么路那末长. 好不容易看到一个标杆, 上面还写着有1.5MILES. 这1.5MILES也就是20分钟左右的路程. 但看看太阳就快落山了. 实在有些犹豫是否继续前行. 最后还是下定决心一定要走到尽头.
