| Comparing Diffusion Materials for Photography Lighting Posted: 29 May 2013 03:37 PM PDT As many photographers switch from using strobes to using continuous lighting for their photo shoots, they need solutions to avoid the 1950s-era hard light look caused by using unmodified, direct light. Diffusion softens and shapes light to flatter models and change the feel of an image. Because there are practically limitless choices when it comes to diffusion materials, selecting a panel can be a time-consuming and expensive task. Fortunately, Jay P. Morgan provides an introduction to diffusion material in this episode of the Slanted Lens. Go behind the scenes on a steampunk photo shoot to see the effects of different types of Rosco diffusion panels for photographic lighting (for those of you reading this by email, the video can be seen here): Morgan used a 2k continuous light, beauty dish with grid, rim lights, mirrors, blue background light, and a reflector to light his steampunk set. Starting with a shutter speed of 1/50 second and an aperture of f4.5, he used a Tamron 70-200mm lens to shoot several test shots using the following Rosco diffusion panels:
The comparisons throughout the video are invaluable for those new to diffusion. Seeing how different types of diffusion materials change the look and feel of an image helps you make decisions about your personal lighting kit that will lead to strongly stylized images. For Further Training from the Slanted Lens:This new video training course is designed to help photographers master studio strobe lighting. It's a complex topic that many struggle with; one of the most difficult elements to achieving consistent professional results for clients. Remember to use the coupon code picturecorrect.

| Using Photography to Document Shocking Ocean Tide Changes Posted: 29 May 2013 12:26 PM PDT In his book "Sea Change", English photographer Michael Marten explores the duality of a natural cycle that’s been going on since the dawn of time — the changing of the tides. He went to several locations around the coasts of Britain and captured each one in both high tide and low tide. 53 of these diptychs, arranged as a clockwise journey around Britain, are presented in the book (for those of you reading this by email, the album can be seen here): For some of the locations, the water recedes so much during low tide that it’s almost indistinguishable during high tide. Michael goes around that problem by choosing to shoot both images from a fixed perspective, making sure that there’s at least a common high ground which serves as reference point. It’s an interesting portrayal, a study in contrast between high and low, push and pull, empty and full. Go to full article: Using Photography to Document Shocking Ocean Tide Changes |
| The Beautiful Science of Space Photography Posted: 29 May 2013 10:41 AM PDT When you imagine the opposite of science, you think of art. Art is creative, chaotic, colorful, and it uses the right side of your brain. Science is logical, organized, quantifiable, and it uses the left side of your brain. If you’re an art major and your friend is a science major, chances are you have none of the same classes and those classes are on the opposite sides of campus. But although art and science are often very different, it doesn’t mean they don’t overlap in some areas. As one example, take a look at space photography (for those reading this by email, the video can be seen here): These photos are taken from highly technical and complex telescopes and imaging devices. Their sole purpose is to collect data from space and help scientists interpret it. But in the process of gathering the data and transforming it into an image, beautiful and abstract photos are created. It’s hard to image that something so practical, that something bound by the law of physics, could create such abstract and colorful imagery.  What looks like an artist’s canvas is actually an image from space. Science is often thought of as boring and ordinary. But if you think about it, all of our photography is surrounded by science. The patterns in someones eyes, wood grain, or animal fur, the formation of clouds, ice, and fire, the changes in a flower, the sky, or human being. Science is responsible for all of the regular and irregular things we encounter in everyday life.  “Almost every branch of science produces things that are just absolutely gorgeous.
