Different Types of Cameras and Lenses. *Work In Progress*

Cameras 

Bridge Camera 

Bridge cameras are cameras don't require an attachable lens because they're usually have a fixed lens. It's a smaller and more compacted version of a SLR'S and have a smaller sensor.

SLR Camera 

An SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras are a lot different to bridge cameras. Different from the bridge camera, you can take the lens off of the camera and have the body only, making it your choice and personalise and change the lens to what type of work your doing. It also has a lager sensor.

Compact Camera

The compact camera is a common camera that a "normal" family takes on holiday. Same as the bridge camera you can't change lens. Its also smaller than the SLR's and about the same size as bridge. Another term for this camera is the "Point and Shoot" camera. 

Polaroid Camera 













Polaroid came about in the 1940's. They were the first instant camera that had a camera and a darkroom inside it, then after a few seconds it prints the image you took out the front of the camera. You could not remove the lens on this camera. 

Lenses 


The Prime Lens

The prime lens is a fixed focal length. They have focal lengths from 8mm to 800mm. The largest aperture is f/1.4 and the smallest is f/22.

Zoom Lens (Internal Focus)

The fixed lens go from 200mm to 800mm. When you zoom into the subject it does so inside the lens.

Zoom Lens (Externally Focus)

The external zoom lens can go from 20mm to 300mm. When you focus or zoom into the subject the lens itself move backwards and forwards.

Some Shots In Studio

Iconic Photo I have re-created.

This photo was taken by Czech photographer Josef Koudelka. It was taken in Prague in 1968.

    

                                            

Experimental Imagery in Photography HDR.

Experimental Imagery in Photography HDR

Today I went out to do some experimental HDR photography. I went local per usual and went straight to the Custard Factory. Just before you enter the Custard Factory I took this photo.

This photo used a technique call bracketing. I love how it captured the grey sky it looks like the sky is boiling across the whole city but you can see the sun peering through the arch of the brick bridge. The photo to me looks very apocalyptic. 







































As soon as I saw the opportunity to take this photo I jumped straight away. I like this photo just because the way the girl is under the sign and is pointing to something.  I also like how the the pole and the shape of the sign leads the photo. This photo leads to many questions..... 
The image has been HDR using three images. Under the bridge was dark and the building in the background. Using HDR allowed me to see under the bridge and allow the photo to reach it's full potential. 

This photo was taken at Ward End Park. Whilst walking through the park I noticed this tree. It stood out to me because the view it has behind it also the greenery it is surrounding it. This photo defiantly needed to use HDR. Simply because if I took the photo the sky would be too bright and you couldn't see all the branches. I also love how the grass is glowing off of the sun. 


What went wrong??

Although I like the photo their are some things wrong. The first thing is the van in the background. I took three images and combined them together and it looks like the van is moving. 
Secondly I was moving too much hence why the sign was blurry.
I now learned you need to wait for the right time to the photo and to get the best result use a tripod.
