Lens Effects
Light And Lenses, Plus A Unique Point Of View
by Jim Zuckerman

Lenses don’t interpret the world as our eyes do. The way light interacts with glass and with the metal blades of a lens aperture is different than how it interacts with our eyes, and it’s noteworthy to mention some of the effects that can be created when taking pictures with various lenses. Some of these effects are desirable and some are undesirable. In some cases, we purposely alter reality for an artistic purpose, and other times we are the victims of the laws of optics and have to deal with factors that are beyond our control. Here are some fascinating effects created by add-on optics and by the nature of light as it interacts with glass.

Super High Contrast And “Tripod-Less” HDR
High-Speed Brackets
by George Schaub

HDR stands for “High Dynamic Range”, which means that there are times when one exposure can not possibly capture the very wide range of light values in a scene. The eye compensates for high contrast by opening and closing the iris rapidly so signals to the brain can be integrated to take the scene in and reveal details in the highlights and shadows, but the camera can only expose for one brightness value at a time. The way around this is to simply make a number of bracketed exposures, and emulate what the eye does by integrating all those exposures into one record of the scene. This is all done with software after the fact.
