Abstract Video

I’ve just completed my first abstract video. How I did this was to find 10 different illusion from  Particle illusion first, for about 90 seconds. I then I import on to premiere pro and I also import the sound track of Runrig  Clash of the ash then export onto you tube for the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hFuVDRc1LU&feature=youtu.be

I also did some research example of abstract in 3D line for 30 second http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r1x3I9O8NI

Job research

Job research in Sport, News and Studio  photographers how they used the equipment and approach the job: Here are some of the equipment a sport photographer have to be used, 3 top of the line digital cameras,1 extreme wide-angle lens (14 mm),1 wide-angle zoom lens (17-35 mm), Monopod camera stand,Tripod camera stand,Telephoto zoom 70-200,Fast telephoto 300 mm, Fast long telephoto 400 mm, Teleconverter, 2 flashes, other lighting equipment and computer with appropriate photographic software.

Shutter speeds and apertures are the dynamic duo of sports photography. A fast shutter speed lets in less light than a slow one so a fast shutter speed needs a bigger aperture to correctly light the image. The reverse is also true for slow shutter speeds, they will need a smaller aperture

Shutter speeds are measured in fractions of a second in a 2:1 scale starting with 1 second. The scale runs 1 second, 1/2 second, down to the fastest speed of 1/8000 second. Aperture settings are also measured on the same scale.

Because there are many different sports played in different arenas and on different sized pitches, fields and courts, a range of different lenses, flashes, cameras and other electrical equipment is needed.

Here are some research how the Studio  photographer used and approach the jobs. You need a  large room very spacious, artificial light, flash lights, studio lights and studio set up also two  300 w/s mono lights,  soft box,translucent  shoot-through umbrella, convertible reflector disc pro master light stand, background stand and seamless paper and a very good camera Nikon D3100.

Here I did some research on News photographer and the equipment they used and how they approach the job. The News photographer is a very danger job in some situation. It can be very interesting too, to capture the moment of any  incident that just happened. The camera they used is Nikon D3100 . I will enclosed some of there  equipments

Rule of thirds

What is the  basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds in horizontally and vertically so that you have 9 part As you’re taking an image you would have done this in your mind through your viewfinder or in the LCD display that you use to frame your shot.Here are 3 research examples I’ve chosen and 3 images created.
