Seeing PicturesSeeing Pictures: Lighting’s Influence On Composition
Directional Light And Shaping Shadows
by Jim Zuckerman


Lighting can have a unique effect on composition. By highlighting certain areas of a picture with front lighting, sidelighting, or backlighting, the play of light and shadow can create compelling graphic designs, interesting shapes, and striking patterns of color. Light can direct our attention to certain areas of a picture, and it can help define the shapes of subjects with rim lighting and trans-illumination (light coming through translucent subjects like leaves and fabric).

Industry Perspective

Helping Those With Special Needs: Rehabilitation Through Photography
by Ron Leach, Publisher


We've often spoken of photography as a beacon for social change and a powerful vehicle for improving the plight of those less fortunate than ourselves. And these days there is perhaps no better example than Rehabilitation Through Photography (RTP)-an organization founded almost 70 years ago to help veterans returning from World War II. RTP provided portable darkrooms, cameras and instruction as a means of helping troubled vets heal their bodies and their spirits.

The Mysteries Of Long ExposureThe Mysteries Of Long Exposure
Expand Your Image Imagination
by Art Rosch


The human eye sees light in the moment. Film or sensors accumulate light through an entire exposure, as if it were a memory. Photons continue making impressions wherever they land on the sensor or film. Moving objects leave a distended, time-lapse image of themselves. Should you so desire, you can turn out all the lights in your room, set the camera shutter to Bulb and write your name with a flashlight.

In-Camera MonochromeIn-Camera Monochrome Contrast Control
Get Film & Filter Looks With Your Digital Camera
by George Schaub


Although the images you create are in color (RGB) you also have the ability to create black and white images in your digital camera using the Monochrome “creative” or “picture style” setting. This “desaturates” the color but the image remains in RGB mode. Most cameras have various options in this style, including adding various “filter” effects. These emulate how a black and white film image would be altered when shooting with a color filter over the lens. Often called “color contrast” filters they affect how certain colors within the scene are rendered, making some lighter or darker than they would be without the filter.
