Night Vision Binoculars

I came to a great quote recently: "F / 8 and be there." Is not a new offer, and is attributed to journalist Weegee. Apparently, when asked how we take such interesting photos, Weegee was crazy to say "F / 8 and be there." Strangely, this quote has led to any suspicion, "Why f / 8?" some people ask. "There is some mystical connection between the diaphragm and the other?" "Why not Weegee said:" f/5.6 and be there, of/l6 there? "Why is there no clickcalled? "and so on.

Photographers are much control over them than any other camera equipment, technology, films, chemicals, memory card or whatever, to have some piece of information that we believe will allow us that little 'better. We often forget the main point. If we step back from the quotation of Weegee, we find that many of the points has more to do with the second half of the first, all the aspects of technique aside, you have to be out there doingit.

Weegee worked mostly at night – with a flashlight. Speed is often the key in photojournalism and working with flash lamps, and despite the name, a 4×5 Speed Graphic, after a workflow quickly and seamlessly is important to get shots. Simplicity is the answer to many of the potential problems. If there really Weegee has so little to f / 8, I think it's because he found that f / 8 has a good basis on which to work and was allowed to be within the subject-to-flashdistance that has been elected. In other words, he found what worked best for his needs and has perfected. This is a critical point of the photograph – any type of photography.

Other photographers that a similar practice is commonly known. This is another great journalist, Henri Cartier-Bresson, was apparently wanted to use a shutter speed of 1 / 125 seconds and a goal of 50mm. HCB, how to capture certain moments, which he called "the decisive moment. A shutter speed of 1 / 125 seconds wouldhim, though he also gives a good variety of openings to work for his usual topic of light (ie without flash). The 50mm lens offers a 'prospect' normal ', which corresponds to the human eye. HCB may decide to grasp exactly what he was seeing.

Ansel Adams, one of the founding members of the Group f/64, wanted the name of the group must enter into a highly concentrated as possible. To do this, Adams and others who work in "pure" style, using the smallest f / stop on their lentilsto reach the maximum depth of field. Edward Weston, one of the founding members of the Group f/64, once again, has an opening smaller for one of its objectives, which do not stop the not far enough (as my memory for his "Daybooks' is correct .) Bulky 8×10 view camera and large rack to support them, photographers like Adams and Weston found clarity and tonal scale, such as how best to achieve their vision.

Interestingly, the son of Edward Weston, Brian, has never been one to talktoo much for the art and technique, was too busy out there doing this, or should I say, too busy to "be there". This brings me to my letter, the bigger picture is not worth a damn technique if you're not out there actually doing it.

Weegee easily found a method that worked for him, the important thing is that it was there. Adams and Edward Weston and Brett find what works best for them individually and develop this. Weston's second son, Wayne, who has never done anything thatstriking black and white – in contrast with the press – it was a sample, its shape, and how, when he began using his old Kodak color film sent. Cole Weston was beautiful colors and well-known photographer, again to find what works best for him.

Photographic historian once said Nancy Newhall Henri Cartier-Bresson, "He took his Leica, as another man in his clothes." HCB seems to be spending much time there. "So the moralThis tune is just to go out and do some photos that works for you to develop your own style and stick to it. Maybe we can use to include the "what works best for you and be there."
