Download or read book The Digital Photographer s Guide to Filters written by Ross Hoddinott and published by David & Charles. This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive book on photographic filters for the digital age features over 200 inspirational photographs. After reading this book you will feel encouraged and inspired to explore the fascinating and vast creative possibilities of using filters – both traditional and digital – and use them wisely to capture even better pictures. Digital photography has changed the art of filtering forever – no longer is it just a matter of in-camera technique, but now encompasses a wide range of manipulations in the digital darkroom. In this comprehensive guide for the modern photographer, Ross Hoddinott, one of the UK’s leading outdoor photographers, explains when and how to use traditional hardware filters on your camera, and how to achieve the same effects with software instead, as well as exploring a wealth of other creative digital filter-effects that were impracticable or impossible on film. Filters don’t have to be gimmicky or used to create an artificial look, they can be used to enhance reality rather than alter it. If you have taken photographs that lack impact, saturation, or look washed-out or underexposed then using filters can effectively improve the quality of your photography. Ross dispels the widespread myth that filters are chiefly aimed at and suited to scenic photography. By sharing his knowledge in a friendly, informative way using comparative pictures, Ross appeals to both those who are new to photography and those who already own filters; he will help you to decide which filters to go out and buy and explain how to make the most of your existing filtration system. The first part of the book includes comprehensive advice on in-camera filtration: choosing a filtering system, polarizing filters, white balance, neutral density filters, graduated filters, soft-focus filters and close-up diopters. The second part of the book focuses on in-computer filtration. Looking at post-processing techniques, Ross illustrates ways to correct, enhance and apply special effects to your images using Photoshop exemplified through detailed screengrabs. By using easy-to-follow steps, he makes it straightforward for you to replicate the effects on your home computer using your own images. The book concludes with a useful glossary of terms and an invaluable and comprehensive list of websites for comparing the pros and cons of different filter systems. An essential guide providing up-to-the moment information on all photographic filtering systems and is beautifully illustrated throughout with Ross Hoddinott's striking digital photographs.

Download or read book Chroma written by Nick Fancher and published by Rocky Nook, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to work with light is an important milestone in every photographer’s career, and the ability to craft light to fit your vision for an image is a skill that cannot be overrated. Most often, that crafting of light is spoken of in terms of the quality and quantity of light. But there is an important, third component of light that heavily influences the final look of the image: the color of light. In Chroma: A Photographer’s Guide to Lighting with Color, photographer Nick Fancher helps you elevate your game when it comes to introducing the bold, creative, and intentional use of color into your work.

Whether you’re using a high-powered strobe or a small hotshoe flash, Chroma is for you. Nick begins with a discussion of color theory, gels, and white balance, then examines how to determine which colors complement your subject matter (whether that’s people or products). He moves on to cover topics such as:

• Balancing, mixing, and overpowering ambient light with artificial light
• Layering colors for unique color combinations
• Mixing hard and soft light to achieve extremely rich color
• Lighting detail and texture
• Modifier options, such as ring flash, snoots, barn doors, softboxes, and filters
• Gobos to control the light
• Post-processing for vibrant, powerful colors
• How (and why) to light with color, even when the end goal is a black and white image

Illustrated throughout with innovative and expressive imagery, Chroma also includes behind-the-scenes photos, lighting diagrams, and Lightroom settings so you can follow along from the initial concept through to the final edit.
