Getting the most out of your digital video camera can mean being able to create some really cool stuff. You just have to step outside the manual a bit and find the cool things you can do with your digital video camera and your editing software. We have all seen them in a movie or a TV show, those very cool shots where they speed up time and capture a long segment of time and condense it into a very short amount of video. My very favorite example of this technique was an arty movie of many years ago that was called Koyaanisqatsi. (view trailer) In that movie they had some very interesting segments where they did time lapse effects to show driving on a bridge, flowers growing, clouds flying by and so...

I had been planning to upgrade my Olympus SP-510 to a newer point-and-shoot, but when prodded by my wife to get a "really good" camera I upgraded to the Camera 500D instead. It was, of course, a considerable increase in price ($350 to $700, body only), but seems well worth the cost. Along with the camera I also bought the Canon 18-200mm lens because I did not want to be constantly changing lenses. My overall impression in the last 6 weeks has been very positive. The photos are full of deep, rich colors, the images are clear and do not seem to have much distortion. I find I can take pictures at ISO 800 without any really noticeable noise and, when needed, even at 1600. The camera has a rich feature...

In photography, there are many ways to create different effects in taking pictures. Although the beginner may not realize it, your camera can create many visually amazing effects without even using any filters! One such effect is the photographic pan. This effect is used for objects that are in motion and moving in a straight line. The result of a photo that uses the pan technique is a subject that is in focus and visible while the background is blurred and has streaks of blurriness showing motion. Pan photos are created by panning the camera! Simple right? Yes! But it's not that simple. To become really good at pan photos you must practice it thoroughly and get used to it. Your first pan...

A Little About Arlyn Arlyn DeCicco was born on May 2nd, 1954 to William D. and Toby B. Lampie. Despite the fact that she lost her dad from complications after surgery in 1984 and her mom to cancer in 1997, her parents left a strong imprint.

The Questions When a reader wrote, "Recently I have taken an interest in photography and am taking a photography class at a local community college." She then asked, "How do I get my artwork noticed by someone who can do something about it?" Although photography is not my principal occupation, I do use it almost daily as a supplement to my university English EFL teaching and writing. I'd suggest trying these approaches to help get your photography "out there". If your work is not on display it can't get noticed by those who may be in a position to allow you to benefit from your skills, insight and vision. Five Viable Approaches 1. First, try to get your work up on the web. Use your own website or a...

Early cameras of the 16th and 17th century were able to project images onto paper or glass but the study of capturing, processing and printing the images took many more years. Up until the 17th century, scientists believed that light was composed basically of the 'white' that is perceived by the human eye. It took the research done by famous physicist Isaac Newton to discover that light is actually composed of a spectrum of colors. While he made a big contribution to the study of optics (that is at the core of camera advances) with this discovery, Newton did not actually have anything to do with camera development per se. The early camera that first became a phenomenon was a little more than a...

Do you know how much the best bird lens for a Canon DSLR costs? You could buy a new car... or a bird lens for your Canon. I'll just come right out and tell you that the very best one you can buy is the 600mm. And, yes, it costs more than $11,000. But we want something much cheaper here.

There are a couple of solutions to the problem that won't cost you thousands of dollars and your...

My photos are very important to me. Everything I shoot I keep, as long as it's exposed and vaguely in focus then it stays. I still have all my college negatives and every digital shot taken in the last four years. That being said, three times since the 'Switch' to digital I've had hard drive failure. Granted the amount I've abused them over the years and I would expect a dud here or there but as a professional this is something I cant have with my work. Out of everything I need my work station to be resilient and stable and for my shots to be there when needed. The first time I had a hard drive fail, I lost about 300GB (about 15000 raw files from a modern DSLR) from a widely known HD manufacturer...

I acknowledge that I am a fan of Canon cameras and the EOS Digital Rebel line has always been a personal favorite. The Rebel Xsi performs puts forth a most professional performance at a reasonable price, and is sure to please both the budding amateur and professional photographer alike. Many bought the EOS XTi (400D) for so many years, that Canon was prompted to introducing the next evolution in this lineup: EOS XSi (450D). In this new model, Canon no longer uses "Digital" in the naming of the camera, calling it simply the EOS Rebel XSi or the EOS 450D. Among the improvements include a new image processor, DIGIC III (which uses the same 1D Mark III), which provides a digital to analog conversion of...

The first time you meet your significant other's family can be awkward and intimidating for both sides, but if handled with common sense, it does not have to be painful. A little planning in advance can be very rewarding. - Do your homework. Ask your significant other what to expect. Ask him/her to describe who will be there and to describe some of each person's personality and characteristics.

Are you going to be expected to mingle with all the relatives for the entire visit, or are you going to be...

Ice cubes are merely frozen lumps of liquid. Most of the time we use ice cubes to cool off our drinks. But did you know that there are other uses for ice cubes? We're going to explore a few of them. 1. Water hanging plants. If you have a few potted plants hanging on your patio or back porch, watering them can be a bit tricky. To simplify the task, just drop a half dozen of ice cubes onto the surface of the soil daily. Because the ice melts slowly, the soil has time to absorb the moisture as needed, without the risk of messy overflow. 2. Revive your garbage disposal. If your garbage disposal has been sluggish lately or your sink drain has been getting clogged more than usual, your garbage disposal...

In first actual photograph originated in the year 1825. Joseph Niepce, who was French, developed the first photograph. The first photographs were of a plate made of pewter, which in using some other materials could be used to print pictures with ink. As time progressed he was also responsible for improving on the process. Many people who also toyed with photographs and the process of making them, added to the improvement of how a photograph was made. In the beginning, it wasn't actually called photograph but instead heliograph. The actual meaning of heliograph is sun drawing as it was a term coined by Niepce for the way he used to develop a picture. The process of making a heliograph was a very long...

Exposure controls are very important to understand. You may wonder what exposure is. Exposure is simply the amount of photons that the sensor in the camera detects as it takes the picture. In order for a good exposure in a picture, the correct amounts of photons are required. If too many photons are captured, it is called being overexposed. Too few photons captured won't register hardly anything. If there is a lot of light bouncing around in the area that you are trying to shoot, then you can imagine the sensor in the camera to be illuminated in a very short period of time. If there is less light, then it will take longer for the photons to get to the sensor. Always remember that there is a goal...
