**INTRODUCTION:**
toc **T** his project demonstrates that although there are many types of photography forums, you don't necessarily have to be a professional to take a great photograph. You will learn that historically the photographic realm started out for the enjoyment and profit for skilled professionals. However, innovation of photographic equipment and simplification of image processing has improved the realm to the average person. There is ample resources and information available to the amateur photographer to allow them to capture amazing images with an inexpensive camera.

**HIGHLIGHTS OF PHOTOGRAPHY:**
The [|time line of photography] included the collaboration of many innovators covers a vast spectrum of the experimental and development process.

There were many milestones that took place over two decades, that helped accomplish the photography we know and love today.

In 1826, the first permanent photograph, or image was produced by the french inventor [| Joseph Nicephore Niepce]**.** The process he developed is known as the Monochrome process. One of Niepce’s main obstacle was to keep an image from fading.

The demand and popularity of portraiture became apparent during the Industrial Revolution. In the 1840's @colour photography was attempted beginning in the 1840's was a revolution to the art and media.

In 1855 the three-colour method, which is the foundation of virtually all practical colour processes whether chemical or electronic, was first suggested on paper on [|colour vision] by Scottish physicist [|James Clerk Maxwell].



In 1888, [|Eastman’s Kodak] camera sold his camera to the general public. The concept of anaverage person could take a photography, and have it processed by a company took the market by storm.



In 1892, [|35mm film] was introduced by William Dickson and Thomas Edison, using film stock supplied by George Eastman.

 * Of course, you know what you like.** But would you like to know more about how a photograph is composed? By learning what visual elements the artist uses to communicate with you, you may appreciate better why you like or don't like a particular work of art. In the presentation below, the concepts are illustrated with photographic works. Click on the work for a larger image of it and then click on BACK to return to the presentation.

Nuovo thanks the __ [|Museum of Photographic Art] __ (MOPA) in San Diego for allowing us to adopt one of their papers for this presentation. Artistic examples were added by Nuovo with permission the artist. All images are copyrighted by the photographer, Jack Leigh. All rights are reserved.

Objective:
 * To develop visual literacy
 * Learn the basic vocabulary used in formal analyses in the visual arts
 * Combine content information with formal analysis to "read" (analyze) photographs

To enhance your appreciation of photography it is necessary to develop the skills to make careful visual analysis. While everyone can easily discuss the contents of photographs ("what you see"), most need more training to learn about formal analysis used in the visual arts. Formal analysis focuses on an artwork's "formal" qualities, or those visual elements that give it form. These include: shape, size, texture, line, space, etc.

Formal analysis provides a basic common language in the visual arts. However, a description of a photograph based only on formal analysis would be incomplete. Photographers make decisions both about composition (arrangement of visual elements) as well as content (meaning) when taking photographs. Consequently, it is important to consider the artist's intentions for making a photograph of a particular subject. Finally, the historical and social context in which a photograph was made must also be carefully considered.

An important note: each image offers a variety of interpretations. Therefore, the information provided in this resource for each photograph should be regarded as a starting point for discussion and not as a conclusive interpretation. There is no one correct answer when interpreting works of art. We encourage you to carefully examine photographs to develop your skills for analyzing photographs and to explore your own personal interpretations.

**TECHNICAL ASPECTS:**
Not being a photography expert, I found [|Simon Mackie] best explains in simple terms the technical aspects of photography in simple terms.

"Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor.

The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. media type="youtube" key="yr9IYtANa7I?version=3" height="222" width="448" align="right"

A camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture), and a shutter that opens and closes when you press the shutter release, exposing the film or sensor to the light; this is why a picture is sometimes called an exposure.

The amount of light entering the camera depends on the amount of light in the scenes that you’re photographing. A bright sunny cloudless day has more available light than a cloudy one, which in turn has more light than an indoor scene lit by tungsten lighting. To make the picture look right, we have to expose the film or sensor to the right amount of light. Too short, and the image will be dark, or underexposed:

Cameras have clever electronics and light meters in them, which take all the guesswork out of this for us and get it right most of the time. If you leave your camera in //P//, //program//, or //auto// mode, you’ll hopefully get correctly exposed pictures all the time. But to get really creative, you need to take control!"

PHOTOGRAPHY INDUSTRY:
The Photography industry has experienced a number of changes, as digital cameras and postproduction technologies have increasingly affected operators. While photographers are benefiting from the changes by increasing their efficiency and availability, consumers are now able to take professional-quality images without the need for a specialist. Still, revenue is expected to improve slightly over the next five years, as operators focus on niche markets, like event, sports and church directory photography, to sustain demand.

In-depth industry market research presented in a logical and consistent format. Including pages of insights covering industry conditions, key statistics, competitor analysis and market share, product and customer segmentation and a 5 year forecast. The photography industry is really focused on the 'industry' part and not so much on the 'photography' part. This is the greatest moment in the history of photography if your dream is to distribute as much photography as possible to as many people as possible, or if your goal is to make it as easy as possible to become seen as a photographer. There's never been a time like this before.

So if your focus is on photography, it's great. If your focus is on the industry part and the royalties, the lawyers, the magazine features and the print campaigns, it's horrible. The shift that is happening right now is that the people who insist on keeping the world as it was are going to get more and more frustrated until they lose their jobs. People who want to invent a whole new set of rules, a new paradigm, can't believe their good fortune and how lucky they are that the people in the industry aren't noticing an opportunity. //(by Jesse Barnett)//

__**Underwater Photography**__   Underwater photographers not only have to be good photographers, but skilled scuba divers. They must use specialized equipment and techniques to capture great photos of shipwrecks, underwater life and plants. Even with their specialized equipment these professionals have a challenge of taking a good quality shots because of the the lack of contrast and colour underwater. This is caused by the lack of natural sunlight which makes everything blue-green to the naked eye. This problem can be solved by taking close range shots of the subject and using a wide angle lense or a flash.  The first underwater camera manufactured by Nikonos in 1963, called Calypsothe, however today most professionals use [|waterproof digital cameras].   __**Photojournalism**__  The most famous photojournalist forum is [|The National Geographic Society], founded in 1888, in Washington, D.C. Their mission was and is "to increase and diffuse geographic knowledge while promoting the conservation of the world's cultural, historical, and natural resources." This organization produced a monthly journal called [|National Geographic] magazine to promote photography and editorials on geography, popular science, world history, culture, current events and photography of places and things all over the world and universe.  Some of the most amazing photo's can be found either in the magazines, books and web site. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Popular in Photography

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">"The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated in quotations". – Benjamin Disraeli

1. " You don't take a photograph, you make it. - Ansel Adams Full awareness of what makes a good photo is essential in taking great photographs. Why would anyone be interested in this photo and what elements can be included or excluded to make it truly great?

2. " Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst. – Henri Cartier-Bresson Do you know how many photos you have taken up until now? You will have to take thousands of pictures to reach a point where you can begin to evaluate them objectively. Looking upon your photos as if you were looking at them through someone else's eyes is a good way to give yourself constructive criticism. Comparing your first photos with your most recent, do you see improvement? Do you remember how you loved some of your first photos – do you still love them or are they now not so good anymore?

3. " Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph. – Matt Hardy You often don't or can't see beauty in the world until someone shows it to you. Take a look around you just now – even without moving from the computer. Can you see something in a new way, a different way of presenting something common? Just take a look again…

4. " Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times…I just shoot at what interests me at that moment. – Elliott Erwitt When the world is your canvas, so to speak, you need your tools with you to capture everything around you. Make a habit of always carrying a camera with you—you will never suffer the regret of wishing you had.

5. " Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow. – Imogen Cunningham Never be fully satisfied with what you've done. Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured.

6. " You've got to push yourself harder. You've got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You've got to take the tools you have and probe deeper. – William Albert Allard We are always looking for reasons for not taking good pictures. Cartier-Bresson used film camera, same lens, no flash, same shutter speed – he didn't need the newest digital equipment to take great photos. We all have access to some subjects that no one else has access to – look at your friends' hobbies, the workplaces of friends and family, and any place you have access to to find a vision that comes uniquely from your access. Many people would dream of having the same access you have, and you might not have considered how valuable your access is.

 * 5 KEY SKILLS FOR THE MODERN PHOTOGRAPHER: **

All the whistles and bells of the modern camera should, at least in theory, make crafting great images an easier and more straightforward process than it used to be – with all these exposure modes, focussing tools, picture styles and the like, camera manufacturers would like you to believe that it's just a matter of squeezing the shutter and hey presto you're Bailey. Certainly getting the tricky business of exposure right has become more straightforward for the technologically challenged – you really don't need to know much to get some passable snapshots but what about if you want to take your photography further?

Photography is so very different an activity from that of even ten years ago. Good modern photographers need to be able to do so much more than compose and frame a shot, and whilst the traditional skills required for messing around with chemicals in a darkroom are waning, a whole set of new techniques are needed if you want to develop your photography to a really high standard. Here's what I think are five key ways to make your photography shine:


 * 1. Know Your Software **

Hone your 'developing' skills to where you can take an image and get the very best out of it in your digital darkroom. This is a vital capability whether you want to be primarily a 'photographer' or an 'image-maker' and allows you to take greater control over your work so it's the very best that it can be. This means choosing a solid piece of editing software and learning how to use it to its full potential. It doesn't mean buy the most expensive thing and learn that – you have to choose something that best suits your interests and needs. Be prepared to change your mind.


 * 2. Get the Basics Right **

You need to know composition, exposure and how to utilise your camera to get the most out of it. It doesn't matter much what camera you're using, if you don't really know how to point it then you're going to struggle to get anything good out of it. Know your manual and what your camera can (and can't) do. Study and understand phenomena like depth of field, focal planes and shutter speeds. This stuff can get geeky and bit dull at times but it will help you to understand how to produce a particular effect or look when you start to frame in your mind what you want an image to look like in its final form.


 * 3. Be Flexible **

It's easy to get stuck in a rut taking the same kind of shots and processing them in the same way over and over again. Or just adopting one set of tools and failing to implement new ones as and when they become available. Developing your work means that you do need to develop the way you work. This means being conscious of issues such as workflow and how they impact on your ability to produce good images. Just like the dodo, if you fail to evolve you fail to survive in that will you fail to keep your interest in photography in general but you also need to be able to innovate and change if you're really going to produce some impressive images.


 * 4. Study Others' Work **

Art rarely develops in isolation, the work of other people can be key in helping you to develop your style, hone your skills and increase your knowledge. Spend time every day looking at the work of others, thinking about how they created a specific look or effect and work out how you could replicate it. An important tool for the modern photographer is networking with other photographers on-line or in real life. On-line communities such as Facebook, Twitter and Flickr are a great way to get your work 'out there' but are an even better resource for inspiration and discussion. They even allow you to engage in collaborative projects which will boost your skills and experience substantially. In real life, you should check out your local camera club or photo-walk group. Interacting with other photographers in the flesh is a great way to learn new things and increase your engagement with photography overall, it might give you access to new shooting opportunities and equipment and will certainly challenge the way you see your own photography.


 * 5. Practice **

You can read all the books, internet sites or magazine articles you like but there's no substitute for actually picking up your camera and using it. Passion for photography comes from the feeling of having created something unique and interesting with your camera – be that a single image, a small portfolio or an entire body of work. There is just no substitute for picking your camera up and pointing it at things in earnest and ideally, you should be using your camera as a portal to show others something you yourself passionate about. Having the ability to show something you love in a new and visually exciting way onlycomes with practice and thus practice is the thing that more that anything else will make your photographs stand out from the crowd. Go do that now! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Read more: __ [|http://www.digital-photography-school.com/5-key-skills-for-the-modern-photographer#ixzz1cZmzsXuV] __ //(by Jesse Barnett)//

CONCLUSION by Jesse Barnett:
Photography is one of my favorite subject because I was once interested in becoming a freelance photographer for various jobs. Unfortunatly the idea of becoming a freelance photographer was actually harder then I thought and was a long and costly process.

Photography has become an art over the years and really helped a lot of companies and businesses expand and grow through out the year with the right captures. Many people still find a hard time seeing photography as a carrier, but with the right dedication and focus, photography can be rewarding in so many ways. Whether your taking pictures persionally or professionally, we can’t hide the fact that photography is an essential part of our lives.

CONCLUSION by Deanne Johnstone:
This project has developed my sense of awareness and appreciation for the people behind the innovation of today's photography equipment and processing. Technology has evolved over a relatively short time span. Now the most //non-technical wizard// can appreciate the ease of taking a photo and then access their local Walmart photo kiosk and print off photo’s for little or next to nothing.

The general public of North America are promised to see some form of photography on a daily basis, whether they are aware of it or not. The visual aspect of photography can change our mood; heighten our visual outlook; and can prompt us to do something we have never done before. This is what today's manufactures count on and with type of visual power and motivation they are prepared to spend a large portion of their advertising dollar on photograph. A grocery store is a great example to understand the vast amounts of visual displays and advertising that we as consumers are exposed to. Some form of photography can be found within the store, starting with the weekly specials flyers; department signs; labels on the packaging; magazine stands; point of purchase displays and the list goes on.

I am honoured to live during this time, in a society that is full of photographic wonder; visual and artistic flavours. However, I believe the majority of general public takes the art of photography for granted, even with daily exposure to the photography realm. . . . . <span style="background-color: #ff0000; color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">//**The question of the day....
