froknowsphoto.com One of the very first things in photography you will want to understand is ISO. ISO controls the sensitivity of your images sensor or how much light gathering ability your sensor will have. When we were shooting FILM it was called film speed, examples are 100-200-400-800 and 1600 ISO. Now, we no longer have film but it is still called your “film speed”. In the digital camera you still have the ability to change your ISO generally from 100-3200 and in some cameras all the way up to 120000 ISO. You are no longer locked into one film speed until you finish the roll, you can change your ISO for every picture if you would like. Would it be a good idea to let the camera select the ISO for you? Absolutely not, you, are better able to determine what your settings should be. Let’s dive into this head first and make it as simple as possible. Before I get into what ISO you should set for what situation lets look at what ISO directly controls. It controls how sensitive your sensor is meaning how much light it will gather. The brighter it is outside or in the situation you are photographing the lower your ISO can be. Keep in mind that ISO will directly effect your shutter speed. As you raiser your ISO your shutter speed will follow. For example if your shutter speed is 1/60th of a second at 100 ISO and you bump your ISO to 200 your shutter speed will jump one stop and go to 1/125th. The brighter the situation the lower the ISO, the darker the situation the higher … Video Rating: 4 / 5
I had another version of this up(the only difference with this one is this is a new soundtrack my friend composed specifically for this. In order to be a partner with youtube, you must have the rights to all the music, so this was our attempt at that. My friend Stephen composed the music for this, it’s an original piece specifically for this. You can contact him here. Stephen Anderson. www.stephenjanderson.com As for me.. I’m a freelance cinematographer. For any potential job offers, feel free to contact me through my youtube page, or through my email at dpdevin@gmail.com Here’s some footage I shot with my Canon 5D Mark II while in Canada with my family last week. We spent 10 days on Vancouver. Most of that time was spent in one of my favorite places, Barkley Sound. It’s an area with 150 islands in a 5 mile radius. We canoed from one island to the next, camping on them. On a technical side, it was all shot on the Canon 5D Mark II. Most of the shots were done with the Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L Series. A Nikon 50mm 1.8 adapter, and a Nikon 70-200 2.8 with Canon/Nikon lens adapter. The smooth shots were done with a glidecam 2000. You can check out the exact model on their official website here where you can also buy them. www.glidecam.com I had my tripod as well, with several shots handheld, with a “smooth cam” filter applied to it with Final Cut pro.

Time lapse Foxglove Digitalis flowers forming and opening. Near the end of the sequence you will see the pollen sack splitting open to expose the pollen. The stigma is closed to begin with to prevent self pollination from the multitude of walking insects but later extends and the sticky end splits open to trap the pollen off the visiting flying insects. Bumble bees will normally fly to the lower flowers where it deposits pollen from the previous Digitalis flower. As it flies up the flower spike to drink nectar it collects pollen on its back which is then transported to the next Digitalis flower. 7-10 min interval between exposures. Filmed by Neil Bromhall copyright www.rightplants4me.co.uk Nikon D300 with 55mm lens with growlight and studio flash.

“The best photographs move you—emotionally, intellectually, spiritually. There’s almost a visceral reaction to a really striking photograph that communicates on all those levels.” Joe McNally has been described as “perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today,” a distinction earned for his ability to capture compelling images in locations as diverse as an operating room, the top of the Empire State Building and the cockpit of a jet aircraft. Noted for his technical mastery, what makes him unique is his ability to create and imaginatively render “the big idea”—the unique or startling concept that frames a single image or a long-term project. He has been published in virtually every major magazine, including Life, Newsweek, Time and Sports Illustrated (where he was a contract photographer for six years) and is a recipient of the Alfred Eisenstadt Award for outstanding magazine photography.
