The Power Of Black & White Photography

It is very long…..long time since the last posted I made a couple of month ago…..again with an official work and some private things that need to be done…..and I will get my time to writes….Ok, for this post I just want to talk just a little bit about “black & white photography”….why…….???...why did we need it in this glorious century with full of colors…….even we can printed good quality color picture at home…………for me, black & white photography is the purest thing in photographic thing because early birth of photography started with black & white image. This pure element of shadows and light give us a power that you can achieve just using your observation and interpretation to make your photo a dramatic way. For me, learning black & white photography is basic knowledge to enhanced our skill in this vary colorful world. This is a couple of my b&w collection including portraits,landscape & fine art in the closing of 2010......Good Luck……and enjoy your photography…peace!!!!

Tanjung Lumpur : Kuantan’s Panoroma

Kuantan is the state capital of Pahang, on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. As a east coast state, fishing is one of the main activities here.Last Sunday (30th May 2010) me and my boss, Mr. If (Nikonman) shooting around Tanjung Lumpur .For me, it just another great experience even for just a couple of hours……ciaoww…….lastly...the key ingredient for low-light photography is a sturdy tripod that help me a lot for this kind of situation.

What I used for this trip :-

Nikon D80 + Nikkor 18-55 F/3.5-5.6 VR + TR300 Tripod & Circular PL Filter

Infrared Photography

In infrared photography, the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 900 nm. Usually an "infrared filter" is used; this lets infrared (IR) light pass through to the camera, but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum (the filter thus looks black or deep red). - Wikipedia

And so...bla..bla..bla.....for me,Infrared Photography give a sudden impact to our visualization and a dreamy effect ( or I can say..more to surreal kind of image).For this post I'm just want to show a couple of my infrared work, I'm using converted Nikon D60 with 18-55 VR lens and post-processing with Adobe Photoshop CS4.........

Creative Self Portrait

Photo manipulation is the application of image editing techniques to photographs in order to create an illusion or deception (in contrast to mere enhancement or correction), through analog or digital means. Its uses, cultural impact, and ethical concerns have made it a subject of interest beyond the technical process and skills involved. - Wikipedia

There are vice versa over this technique especially the bad side, for today I’m just to share this technique for a very good reason. Based on these technique we will make a creative self portrait just for your profile picture that can be used either in Facebook or MySpace.This tutorial based on Japanese Anime “ Naruto Shippuden’s Kage Bunshin No Jutsu or Shadow Clone Jutsu” to create my clone without any help any ninjutsu but just my trusty Adobe Photoshop CS4.There are 2 steps for this technique :-

Step 1 – Photo session

The most important thing the setting, for your camera just used Aperture Priority setting - A for Nikon or Av for Canon the get the same result for both picture.

Tripod is major tools in this technique because we want an accurate picture for both picture.In this setting I’m using my home sofa as a setting.

Photo 1 – I’m reading a magazine

Photo 2 – I’m peeking on “other me”

Step 2 – Photo manipulation

Copy Photo 1 on to Photo 2.

Select Layer Mask

Select Brush Tool to masking image

Start masking the image

Flatten the image

Then, you got the final image
