32 Bit Images-Stunning New Style Of Photography

The new version of Photoshop which came out last year offers a whole new feature which allows photographers Mauracher Wedding Photography take 32 bit images. HDR (high dynamic range) photography or 32 bit images allow the Morpheus Photography to capture a much wider range of tones in the picture. This means a picture can contain shadow detail as well as details in the highlights or Rhs Photography parts of the picture.

First of all the photographer has to take a series of pictures of the scene he wants to photograph. The exposure must be bracketed so that all the tones in the shadows and highlights are captures. If the exposure is 1/250 th second at F8 then you take a picture at this exposure then a couple of pictures opening up the aperture by one stop at a time ie F8 and F5.6, and then 2 more exposures stopping down or closing the aperture to a smaller setting ie F16 and F22.

You then use Photoshop or a Photoshop plugin called Photomatix to open these exposures and blend them together using a process called tone mapping. This means the wide range of tones in the pictures are converted into one single image. Photomatix is more powerful than Photoshop and it gives you a preview of how the final image looks. Here is an example of a 32 bit image 32bitimages /?p=22 32bitimages /?p=22

The picture looks more like a painting than a photograph . Hopefully this article will inspire all you photographers to go out and try this for yourself

The Nokia N73 Phone

Out of all the phones I have ever owned the Nokia N73 smartphone Mark Seliger Photography most definitely my favourite, it looks good, has a ton of useful features it also fits nicely in my pocket, thats because the phone Dean Photography actually one of the smallest phones available on the market today. The N73 is part of nokias N series which was first introduced in 2005, phones in the Nseries are always jam packed with high quality features and the N73 is no exception, it is described by nokia as a multimedia computer.

The phones best feature is probably its massive 3.2 mega pixel camera thats ready to use after you slide the Crowning Touch Photography protector cover off, the camera comes complete with with a Carl Zeiss optical lens and auto focus feature, this means you always get sharp images for both photos and video, pictures can be taken up to the size of 2048x1536 pixels The camera also has a flash with red eye reduction and huge 20x digital zoom capability, it can also capture MPEG-4 video at 15 frames per second.

The phones screen which is capable of displaying 262144 colours is quite large at 2.4 inches and makes full use of its 240x320 pixels. This means you can actually see what you are doing when your playing games or surfing the web. If you have a friend with the same phone you can also use the Video Calling function and see what there doing.

The N73 comes with a load of software applications pre installed including a selection of games, a MP3 music player, video and picture galleries, stereo FM radio, RealPlayer, a WAP browser plus a full KHTML web browser and IM client. You can also view Microsoft office documents and PDA files.

The phones menu system is easy to get used to and youll soon find yourself playing some of the free games on it.

I also like this phone for its music capabilities, it has stereo speakers and can play music quite loud, the phone comes with 42mb of built in memory but this is extendable to 2gb with a memory card meaning you can fit a few of your favourite cds on there, as well as MP3s the phone also supports AAC and WMA formats giving you plenty of choice and getting the music on to the phone is easy with Nokias PC suite and USB cable, right now the N73 is the best phone Ive had.
