  • How To Deal With A Dirty Camera Sensor

    yachts-sensor-cleaning

    Have you ever noticed little black specks appearing in brighter parts of your photos? These are dust specks that have found their way on to the sensor of your DSLR. Although not a serious problem, I think they’re amongst the most infuriating things photographers encounter! So I’m going to provide an easy, step-by-step process for removing them.

    Firstly, I’ll just mention that one very simple means of preventing dust from landing on your sensor in the first place is to angle your camera body downwards when changing lenses. Similarly, when a really good shot appears to have been blighted by the presence of these pesky blobs, just use the clone-stamp tool in Photoshop or Lightroom to eliminate them.

    yachts-sensor-cleaning-1

    Cleaning Your Sensor, Step-By-Step:

    1. First things first. Get an idea of what you’re dealing with by taking a test shot. The idea here is to create an image that shows any senor dirt at its absolute worst.You’ve probably noticed that sensor dirt is only visible against bright parts of an image, like the sky. It’s also exaggerated when the aperture is at a wide setting. So, find a plain white subject, like a wall or a featureless overcast sky, focus on infinity and select the maximum aperture. Take the shot.
    2. Now it’s time to inspect the image. So upload it to your computer and open it on whatever processing software you use. Increase the contrast a touch to make things even clearer, before zooming in to 100%.This should give you a really clear idea of what needs to be done, and in what position some of the worst offending specks are.
      sensor-preview-dirty
    3. In your camera’s menus find the ‘mirror lock-up’ option and turn it on. Sometimes this is called ‘sensor cleaning mode’ or similar. This causes the reflex mirror inside the camera body to swing up and remain open, exposing the image sensor.
    4. The first tool you’ll need is a ‘bulb-blower’, which is a rugby ball shaped rubber air pocket with a thin plastic tube attached. Squeezing it causes air to be propelled at reasonably high pressure, and quite accurately, from the end of the tube.Remove the lens from your DSLR and hold the camera at a downward angle (this is important as it allows the dust to fall out of the camera). It’s not a bad idea to secure the camera in position on a tripod. Now carefully move the tube of the bulb blower towards the sensor, being careful not to make contact with any internal parts. Pump air for about 30 seconds to disperse any loose dust particles. Return the air blower to its pouch and re-attach the lens to your camera.
    5. Now take another test shot, exactly as in steps 1 and 2. Has the air blower been successful? If there are no longer any visible dust specks, job done. If there seem to be a few very faint ones, you can decide whether it’s worth having another go with the blower (remember, your test shots show the dust particles at their very worst).Sometimes you’ll find that there are some truly stubborn marks which haven’t even moved position in the slightest. Often these appear with a slight ring around them and have been become attached to the sensor with more than just static. If you see some of these, it’s time for step 6.
    6. To get rid of more stubborn marks, a sensor cleaning brush can be an effective tool. Select mirror lock-up (step 3) and position the camera at a downward angle, using a tripod if you wish to have maximum control. Take a sensor cleaning brush and carefully swipe it across the face of the sensor once.Don’t be tempted to go back and swipe it across the sensor again, for obvious reasons. The whole idea is to transfer the dust from the senor to the fine bristles of the brush. So once you’ve picked them up, remove the brush from the camera and blast air through the bristles with the air blower to clean them. Now you can return to the sensor and swipe the brush across it another time. When finished, return the brush to its storage box so that it doesn’t pick up any dust.
    7. Now for another test shot (as per step 1). Inspect the image and decide whether further cleaning is needed (as per steps 2 and 5). You may well find that those really stubborn marks have still stayed put, in which case it’s time for step 8.
    8. The last tool for cleaning sensors is a sensor swab, which comes with a special solution. Set everything up as before, with mirror lock-up on and lens removed. For this, it’s best to work sitting down with the camera body facing upwards for easy access.Apply a small amount of cleaning solution to both sides of a swab. It doesn’t want to be dripping or almost dry, but wet enough to budge stubborn particles. Swipe both sides of the swab across the sensor once. Use downward pressure (remember, you’ve already failed to get rid of these specks with an air blower and brush), but do treat it like the extremely expensive object that it is. Discard the swab and repeat with a new one.
    9. Re-attach the lens and take another test-shot (as in step 1). You should find that even those dust specks that seemed to have put down roots have now been blasted away! Zoomed in at 100%, you should have a satisfyingly pristine sensor.
      snesor-preview-clean
    10. If it turns out that there are still little specks of dirt, you have a couple of options: a) Have another go with the swabs, this time applying a touch more downward pressure and using a bit more solution, or b) send your camera off for a professional clean.

    There’s no need to be afraid of cleaning your camera’s sensor yourself. As long as you use the right equipment and are not heavy handed, you should rarely need to spend money on a professional clean. Personally, I tend to find that the air blower does the trick 90% of the time. Don’t forget the clone stamp tool either, which is an invaluable asset for rescuing dust-affected images.

  • Über Fotografien, die Geschichten erzählen

    Ein Beitrag von: Jürgen Bürgin

    „Haltet die Uhren an. Vergesst die Zeit. Ich will euch Geschichten erzählen.“

    Ich will als Straßenfotograf Geschichten erzählen, ich will vom Leben in den Städten berichten, von Begegnungen mit Menschen, von Ereignissen auf den Straßen. Ich möchte mit meinen Fotografien von Einsamkeit, Liebe, Freundschaft, Traurigkeit, Leidenschaft, Neugierde und mehr erzählen – vom Leben.

    Zu einer Geschichte gehört aber das Vergehen von Zeit. In einer Geschichte verändert sich etwas, es gibt Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft. In der Tat sind Fotografien in der Lage, etwas zu erzählen. Hier sind einige meiner Straßenfotografien – und Ideen, wie die Geschichten dazu aussehen könnten:

    Ich höre das Rauschen des Regens und ich höre die eilenden Schritte eines Mannes, der durch den Regen rennt, mit jedem Schritt spritzt Wasser auf. Die Regentropfen, die auf den Regenschirm des Mannes fallen erzeugen ein ploppendes Geräusch. Er trägt einen Anzug und eine Aktentasche. Er kommt von der Arbeit, es ist schon spät, pflichtbewusst hat er die Zeit im Büro verbracht, bis es dunkel war.

    Die Geschäfte sind immer noch hell erleuchtet, aber der Strom der Kunden ist mit dem Einsetzen des Regeschauers beinahe zum Erliegen gekommen. Er will nur noch nach Hause, in die winzige Zweizimmerwohnung, aber er wird die Kinder wieder nicht sehen, weil sie schon schlafen, wenn er nach Hause kommt.

    Es ist kalt und dunkel, wenigstens hat es jetzt aufgehört zu regnen. Da steht diese Frau an der Bushaltestelle, sie ist nicht mehr jung, ihre Haare sind grau, ihr Mantel ist etwas zu weit, der Wind weht ihn zur Seite. Sie will nach Hause, aber ist das der richtige Bus?

    Lieber fragt sie den Busfahrer, der ihr unfreundlich entgegenschnauzt, welches die richtige Linie ist. Sie ist ziellos durch die Geschäfte geirrt, denn eigentlich kann sie sich nichts leisten. Aber nun ist sie müde und will nach Hause in ihre enge, zugestellte Plattenbauwohnung, wo niemand auf sie wartet, wo niemand sie besucht.

    Unsanft zerrt die Mutter am Arm des Mädchens, das schon wieder zu trödeln scheint, dabei muss die Mutter dringend zur Arbeit, aber vorher muss die Kleine noch im Kindergarten abgegeben werden. Aber das Mädchen hat sich umgedreht und blickt erstaunt auf den riesigen Hund, der fast so groß ist wie sie selbst.

    Sie ist fasziniert von seinem sanften, gutmütigen Blick und sie würde ihn gerne streicheln, aber sie hat auch Respekt vor ihm, weniger weil ihre Mutter ihr verboten hat, fremde Hunde zu streicheln, sondern weil einer kürzlich nach ihr geschnappt hat, als sie ihn streicheln wollte. Aber dieser hier, da ist sie sich sehr sicher, würde es sehr genießen, wenn sie ihn streicheln würde. Aber sie muss weiter, in den Kindergarten.

    Seit einigen Monaten betreibt der Mann nun seine mobile Straßenküche. Und es macht ihn glücklich, er ist in seinem Element, er kocht mit Leidenschaft und er berät seine Kunden voller Begeisterung. Gerne hört das junge Paar ihm dabei zu, wenn er Vorschläge macht, was er heute Leckeres für sie kochen könnte, irgendetwas mit Huhn und mit Sesam und mit Ingwer. Und das bestellen sie auch, zwei Mal.

    Und es bedeutet Glück für ihn, weil er sich sicher ist, dass die beiden begeistert sein werden. Und er ist sich dessen bewusst, dass seine kleine Straßenküche nicht nur für das leibliche Wohl der Passanten und der Nachbarschaft sorgt. Sie ist auch ein Ort, an dem sich Menschen treffen, wo man seine kleinen Probleme des Alltags loswerden kann, wo man den neuesten Klatsch und Tratsch austauschen kann.

    Sie sind ein junges Paar, noch nicht sehr lange zusammen, aber es ist die erste richtig ernsthafte Beziehung von beiden. Sie sind beide sehr verliebt, sie treffen sich häufig nach der Schule, sie nehmen dieselbe U-Bahn nach Hause. Sie dreht sich auf der Rolltreppe zu ihm um, um ihm nahe zu sein. Sie blickt ihn zärtlich an und wischt ihm Essensreste aus dem Mundwinkel – und er weiß diese Geste nicht wirklich einzuordnen, es ist beinahe eine mütterliche Geste.

    Lange war der alte Mann nicht mehr an dem Ort gewesen, an dem er solch einen bedeutenden Teil seines Lebens verbracht hatte, an dem seine Karriere begonnen hatte, damals als Neuling, kurz nach der Uni – an dem Ort, wo er seine ersten Erfolge gefeiert, Niederlagen durchlitten, wo er Menschen kennengelernt hatte, die ihm wichtig waren, wo er Feinden auf Augenhöhe begegnete und triumphale Erfolge feierte.

    Aber der Ort hat seinen Glanz von damals verloren, heute geht es nur noch um den kurzfristigen Erfolg, Geld. Freunde zählen heute nichts mehr, es gibt keinen Respekt mehr vor dem Konkurrenten. Er trauert dieser Zeit hinterher.

    Die junge Frau sitzt in einem Bus auf der Fahrt nach Hause, sie ist in ihren Roman vertieft. Vielleicht ist es eine traurige, melancholische Erzählung, eine emotionale Geschichte, die sie hineinzieht und die sie ihre Umgebung vergessen lässt. Doch da fällt ihr Blick nach draußen, es wird bereits dunkel und es herrscht eine düstere Atmosphäre. Für einen Augenblick vermischt sich in ihren Gedanken die Welt aus dem Roman mit der wirklichen Welt draußen.

    ~

    Wie erzähle ich mit meinen Fotografien Geschichten? Wie funktioniert das, obwohl Fotografien nur den Bruchteil einer Sekunde zeigen?

    Betrachten wir die Wahrnehmung eines Bildes als Prozess. Der Betrachter sieht sich ein Bild an, es löst in ihm Emotionen und Erinnerungen aus – und es ist in der Lage, Assoziationsketten in ihm anzustoßen. Der Betrachter wird zu einer aktiven Instanz in der Wahrnehmung eines Bildes.

    Es sind Emotionen, die ich in meinen Bildern zeige, die diese Assoziationsketten anstoßen und die Geschichten in Gang bringen. Es sind Erinnerungen an Gerüche und Geräusche, die ein Bild auslöst. Es sind die Blicke der abgebildeten Personen, die der Betrachter zu deuten versucht und die ihm etwas über das Innenleben, die Gedanken der Protagonisten verraten.

    Es sind Situationen, die einer Vor- und einer Nachgeschichte bedürfen, die den Erzählprozess im Betrachter auslösen. Und es sind Elemente, die im Unklaren gelassen werden; Geheimnisse, Rätsel, die Dinge, die im Dunkeln, im Schatten, in der Unschärfe, außerhalb des Bildrahmens bleiben.

    Der Betrachter will diese Rätsel lösen. Aber das Bild wird diese fehlenden Informationen nicht liefern, egal wie lange er es ansieht. Daher beginnt er selbst, sich das Unerzählte zu erzählen: Mit seinen eigenen, persönlichen Geschichten, seinen eigenen Erinnerungen, seiner eigenen Fantasie.

    Jede Geschichte sieht anders aus, sie ist beeinflusst von der Person des Rezipienten, von seiner Vergangenheit, von seinen Erfahrungen, von der Situation, in der er das Bild sieht. Der Betrachter wird damit Teil des Wahrnehmungsprozesses. Er wird Teil des Bildes.

  • Bird Photography Near Feeders

    A Guest Post by Lithuanian Photographer Tadas Naujokaitis.

    Bird photography is quite difficult because birds don’t do what a photographer wants. Moreover, it’s often hard to get close to them. And when you have more experience in photography, you realize that it’s even more difficult to take a good bird photo, because you need a good background and a beautiful environment. However, there are a number of ways you can improve the bird photos you take. In this article, I’ll explain some tips on photographing birds near feeders.

    The place

    The place is the first thing you need to consider. You need to decide what bird species you want to photograph, and work out where you’ll find that kind of bird.

    Depending on your location, even your backyard can be a great place for a feeder to attract the species you’re after. I wanted to photograph forest birds, so I chose a local forest. I searched for the exact place in that forest quite a long time—mainly, I needed to consider the background, and the amount and direction of the light that reached the feeder.

    Ideally, your location will have a smooth background (when I search for a background, I use manual focusing at ~4m and take many test shots) and enough light. I’ve found it’s best when the sunshine reaches the feeder in early morning. Also, be sure to ask for a permission to feed and photograph the birds if you are not the land owner.

    The hide

    Once you’ve worked out the exact place where you’ll put your feeder, you need a hide. I recommend using a permanent hide, because birds will understand it as a part of environment, and you won’t need to set it up and then wait while the birds get used to it each time you decide to take photos.

    You can build the hide from whatever you like—even an old door can be very useful. I built my hide from the branches I found in the area. It required a bit more work, and it isn’t waterproof, but I didn’t want to use expensive materials because there is always the risk that your hide can be damaged by other people if you don’t build it in your own backyard.

    One more thing to note: the hide should be large enough for you to stay in it comfortably, because you may spend many hours in it. This is how my hide looks:

    2-birdphotography.jpg

    The feeder and food

    The construction of the feeder itself isn’t very important. I prefer the platform feeder because, if you like, you can put many decorations on it when you’re photographing birds.

    However, the food is very important. I recommend using sunflower seeds, peanuts, and suet cakes. Other similar products should be fine, too, but be sure the food you choose won’t harm the birds you’re photographing. The food must not be tainted, salted or smoked. And if you feed birds in the colder seasons of the year, you must feed them constantly until the weather becomes warm and the snow melts—otherwise many birds can die. Be prepared to spend some money on food. As am example, you may need even more than 100kg of sunflower seeds for one winter if you use them as the main food.

    3-birdphotography.jpg

    The perch

    If the birds have already found the food, you can start shooting. Find a beautiful perch, twig or rotten stump and put them on the feeder or near it. If you’d like, find some decorations to add to the scene—berries, for example. They will make the composition of your shots more lively.

    Be creative: try using various perches, or put the food in such place that you don’t see it though the lens. You can use holes in the feeder, put the food on the side of the perch that isn’t visible, or simply place it below the perch on which the bird will sit.

    The food can also be put in such location that the perch becomes an intermediate stop for birds moving towards the food. Often it’s difficult to photograph the bird without food in its bill. If this is your goal, try to hide some food so the bird will need to search for it. You can also take some pictures of birds without food, when the food has just run out, but you won’t have much time to shoot before the birds realise that there’s no more food and fly away.

    My recommendation, however, is to always have plenty of food in the feeder, which will attract more visitors to the feeder, and be ready to quickly take a photo before the birds take any food.

    4-birdphotography.jpg

    Equipment

    You should get good results with any DSLR and a 100-200mm lens. However, with longer focal length, you’ll get a better background. A tripod is usually necessary, too.

    5-birdphotography.jpg

    Camera settings

    Exposure: 1/50-1/500 or even shorter, depending on how fast the birds are (faster birds need a shorter exposure), and how much light you have (if there isn’t much light, you may need to set longer exposure if you don’t want to use high ISO settings).

    Aperture: if you don’t have enough light and want the best possible background, select the largest aperture (the smallest number). If it’s difficult to get the whole bird in focus, close the aperture a bit.

    ISO: use as low an ISO speed as possible. However, if you don’t have much light, it’s better to set ISO 800 and get sharp pictures than ISO 200 and take blurry ones.

    The light

    The best time for photography is morning or evening because the light is soft and has a pleasant hue, shadows are not so distinct, and it’s easier to get details from very bright and dark areas. Overcast days are better than sunny ones because the shadows are less distinct. However the midday sun can be your friend if its rays are diffused by trees.

    6-birdphotography.jpg

    Composition

    It’s usual to leave some space in the direction in which the bird is looking or flying. Try using the rule of thirds in your composition. Avoid any distracting elements and take the picture at the bird’s eye level. Don’t always try to fill the frame with a bird: remember that birds are very fast creatures, so they need space. Even in the photo!

    7-birdphotography.jpg

    Conclusion

    The best part of bird photography near feeders for me is that I have a great time. It’s usually hard to believe that 10 hours have already passed – I always wish I had more time. I hope you will have a good time photographing birds near feeders, too.
