Exposure

Exposure is how cameras adjust to light. This feature can be fooled however if the background is too bright or too dark, or if there is a big contrast. Exposure is important for winter adventure photography because the snow often creates a situation where it is very bright.

A camera's exposure values are able to be adjusted. When the object you are shooting at is darker than the background, you would want to increase exposure value.

A few suggested exposure settings can be found at http://www.digicamhelp.com/taking-photos/advanced-techniques/ev/ .

When I looked at the specifications for my camera, a Fujifilm Finepix Z200fd, it has exposure control listed as TTL 256 - zones metering and exposure control listed as Programmed AE. I am not sure what either of those mean and the Fujifilm site wasn't very helpful in this area.

Corky Fowler

For my blog this thursday I am going to write about Corey "Corky" Fowler. He was my ski instructor at Bridger Bowl on Monday and he mentioned that he used to be a famous skier, being one of the first arial acrobatic skiers. I was able to find some old photos of him online and thought they were really interesting because of how much has changed over the years.

After our discussion about the color red in class I noticed that Corky was wearing a red shirt which immediately draws our eye to him.

The black and white ones were interesting because it seems to take a slightly different touch to make them turn out well, because for example, you can't just use to color red to focus a viewer's eye. In both of these photos Corky is wearing white, which seems to be the old red.

Bridger Bowl

These are photos taken from skiing/boarding
at Bridger Bowl on Friday and Monday.

My roommate Hannah took this photo from the

passenger seat in my truck when we were

driving to Bridger Bowl on Monday. I thought it

was really cool to see the sunrise both in the mirror and on the truck.

Home Pictures

Here's a few pictures from my home in Bismarck, ND over break.

This is our hunting dog, Sam, running in the pasture. This picture unfortunately has a strand of barb wire across it. I tried to photoshop it out, but it didn't work very well on his face and ears, so I left the wire in there.

Winter Photography

I was looking for something to blog about for my second blog and came accross this website:

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/23/45-winter-wonderland-photos/

It shows 50 winter photographs by various photographers that are beautiful. You may click on the photographer's name above the photograph and it will show more of that artist's work. Some of the photographs are really interesting because they have so many colors that are brought out in them.

Model Release Forms

MRF’s are important for photographers to have signed if there is the potential for the photo(s) of people to be used commercially. If a photographer takes a picture and it clearly has a certain person in it, the photographer may use the photo for his or her own purposes or for newspaper articles. If the photographer wants to sell the photo commercially, such as to a clothing company, a MRF would need to be signed.

MRF’s should include the name of the photographer, the name of the person in the photograph and their signature, the date, and it should state that the person’s photographic likeness may be used for advertising or other commercial use.

Examples of MRF’s can be found at:
