A Message From the President

I want to take this opportunity

to say "thank you" to ALL of the

people who have worked so

hard this year to make this club such

a tremendous success.

Special kudos go to Bob

Kruzic, Paul Kurek and Michelle Cox for their

efforts as committee members this past

year. Bob has worked with President-elect

John Williams and Bill Sullivan (Vice President,

Internal Operations) on organizational

improvements and upgrades to our competition

system. Paul devoted a great deal of time and

effort to develop what has proven to be an

extremely strong season of educational

program nights. Michelle has been outstanding

in creatively developing a unique and

interesting program of club excursions.

A lot of work goes into making our club

successful. It is through participation of the

many club members who contribute their time

and efforts that we continue to grow and

improve as a club. If you would like to become

more involved you should consider volunteering

for a position on the Board or as a Committee

Back to the BasicsLight (Part 2)

by Margie Hurwich

As a reminder, according to

Wikipedia, “Photography is the

process, activity and art of

creating still pictures by

recording radiation on a

radiation-sensitive medium,

such as a photographic film, or electronic

image sensors. Photography uses foremost

radiation in the UV, visible and near-IR

spectrum. For common purposes the term

„light‟ is used instead of radiation.” In layman‟s

terms, photography is capturing light on film or

sensor.

In addition to the variants discussed last

month, which included:

• Color (Kelvin Temperatures)

• Time of Day

• Ambient Light vs. Flash

• Direction of Light

Other variants are:

• White Balance

• Metering

• Filters

Let‟s take a look at each of these.

White Balance

As was described last month, depending on

the type of light, light can produce many

different shades or hues. The type of light is

measured in Kelvin unit of measure. Your

camera will capture the color in which you are

shooting, unless you change your White

Balance setting on your camera to help correct

the color. White Balance settings on most

cameras are:• Auto – This will allow your camera to do it‟s best

at selecting the type of light you are in.

• Daylight – This setting is usually set accordingly

when shooting outdoors.

• Shade – This setting will add a bit of red to your

image. Shade generally produces a blue cast,

thus adding red to balance the color.

• Tungsten – Tungsten is usually found when

shooting with a normal household lamp. Light

bulbs give off a yellow/orange hue.

• Cloudy – This setting will add a bit of warmth to

almost any photo. It is best used outdoors on an

overcast day.

• Fluorescent – Fluorescent bulbs are usually found in

stores and commercial areas, so it may be

uncommon for you to use this setting. Most

common indoor lighting is tungsten.

• Flash – This is a great setting when you are forced

to use your flash as your main light source when

shooting indoors. This setting will warm up your

image.

• Custom – This setting is important when you need

all of your images to have the same color cast. This

setting allows you to measure a white point on a

white sheet of paper, which then becomes your

standard white color. By then using Custom, all of

your subsequent photos will be taken with the same

color cast. There are devices that you can purchase

that will help select your custom white balance.

If you shoot in RAW, changing the White Balance

is easily changed in the RAW conversion.

However, if you are only shooting in JPEG or

TIFF, setting the White Balance correctly is very

important as it is much more difficult to correct

White Balance errors.

Metering

There are two kinds of light (or exposure) meters.

One is a handheld unit which requires you to

point the meter directly at your subject or the light

that is on your subject and take a reading of the

light. Once you have done this, you can then set

your aperture and shutter speed to create a

perfect exposure. However, some point and

shoot and all DSLR cameras have built in light

meters with a few different kinds of metering

modes available. Types of built in metering

modes are:

• Spot Metering - With spot metering, the camera will

only measure the light in a very small area of the

scene. The measurement is usually taken from the

center of the scene (between 1-5% of the viewfinder

area), but some cameras offer the photographer to

select the area in which to meter. Spot metering is

very accurate and is not influenced by other areas in

the frame. It is commonly used to shoot very high

contrast scenes.

• Partial Metering – This mode meters a bit more of

the scene compared to spot metering. It will

measure 10-15% of the entire frame from the center.

It‟s best used when the background is much brighter

than the subject.

Back to the BasicsLight (Part 2) – continued

• Center-Weighted Average Metering – Unlike spot

metering, center-weighted average metering will

measure the light in 60-80% of the central part of

the scene. The remainder of the scene will not

be taken into account for the exposure, but

should not have overpower the whole image.

• Average Metering – This mode is often called

Matrix, Evaluative, Honeycomb, Segment or Esp

(electro selective pattern) metering. For this type

of metering, light is measured coming from the

entire scene and averaging and combining the

results to create the final exposure settings.

Depending on the brand of camera that you

have, the metering modes may be named

differently and you may not have all of these

modes. Make sure you check your camera‟s

manual to find the types of meters that are built

into your camera.

Filters

Filters are pieces of glass that can be added

over the top of a lens that will allow you to

have more control of the color and clarity of

your overall image. A filter is either square or

oblong which is mounted in a holder to the

front of the lens or a glass or plastic disk that

screws to your lens with a ring. You must

know the size of your lens in diameter in order

to purchase the correct size filter.

Some common filters are:• Polarizing Filter – This reduces the glare of any

reflective surface (i.e. glass, water or metal) when

you are at a 90 degree angle with the sun. This

helps drastically reduce harsh light when

shooting midday as the sun will be at a 90 degree

angle to you no matter what direction you are

shooting. It also helps block vertical light, giving

your overall image a more saturated and pleasing

look. One note about this filter, however, it will

reduce your light by 2 stops, thus reducing your

shutter speed.

• Neutral Density Filter – This filter reduces the

intensity of the light in a scene. The filters come

in stop increments, allowing you to reduce the

light by up to 4 stops. This filter is perfect for

when you want to reduce your shutter speed to

allow for creative effects like turning a waterfall

into something more like cotton candy or an

image that will allow you to imply motion. This

filter will not change the overall tone or hue of

your image.

• Graduated Neutral Density Filter – This filter is much

like a Neutral Density Filter, however this one is

clear in one half allowing you to render only a

portion of your image with shading. This works

perfect when you have deep shade in one part of

your image with full sun in another. Think of a

landscape on a bright day. The shading could be

placed over the sky, allowing for deeper blues, while

still allowing full light in the shadows on the ground.

These, like the Neutral Density Filters, come in stop

variations up to 4 stops.

• Diffusion Filter - This filter is sometimes called a

softening filter. It works wonderful to create dreamy

or hazing images and helps reduce contrast.

• UV Filter – These filters are used to reduce haziness

created by ultraviolet light. A UV filter is mostly

transparent to visible light, and can be left on the

lens for nearly all shots.

• Cross Screen Filter – This filter is also known as a

star filter as it creates a star pattern on any bright

object.

One last note about filters. There is always an

ongoing debate as to whether photographers

should have filters on their cameras. Some

believe that placing anything over a great piece of

glass is wrong, whereas other photographers will

always have some type of filter on their lens as

this can help protect your lens from damage if

you drop your camera.

Some other things to note regarding light, the

broader the light source, the softer the light will

be. This type of lighting will lessen shadows,

reduces contrast and will smooth textures.

The narrower the light source, the harsher the

light will be. This type of light will have drastic

shadows and contrast. Additionally, the closer

the light source, the softer the light will be and

the further away the light source, the harsher

the light will be. In the instance of harsher

light, the use of a diffusion filter would be ideal.

A natural diffusion filter would be clouds and

overcast skies.

Your challenge:

Shoot the same scene with different white

balances to see the effects each has on the

scene. For an extra challenge, use a filter to

notice those effects.


Tips, Tricks and IdeasBeyond “Rule of Thirds”

Using Phi and the “Golden

Ratio”

by Ron Meyers

Perhaps the first rule of

composition that

photographers learn is the

“Rule of Thirds”. It is a simple guideline to

determine the best composition of an image

whether composing in camera or cropping

during image processing.

With “Rule of Thirds” an image is divided into

nine equal parts using two equally-spaced

horizontal lines and two equally-spaced

vertical lines. The image focal points should

be placed along these lines and/or on their

intersections (figure 1).

(Figure 1) Rule of Thirds

The “Rule of Thirds” method works extremely

well for a reason. It is a simplified version of

the “Golden Ratio”, also known as the divine

proportion, divine section, golden proportion or

golden number.

The “Golden Ratio” often denoted by the

Greek letter Phi (φ), specifically deals with

aesthetically pleasing proportions and ratios

between two elements. Phi is a “naturally

occurring irrational mathematical constant

approximately equal to 1.6180339887” that is

described as “two quantities where the ratio of

the sum of the quantities to the larger one

equals the ratio of the larger one to the

smaller”.

The Golden Ratio is commonly used in art and

design because it builds on what your brain is

hardwired to understand and find attractive. Phi

patterns commonly appear in nature in everything

from pinecones to seashells. The ratio can be

seen in ancient architectural design such as the

Parthenon and is frequently used in modern

architecture and design.

In its simplest form, the Golden Ratio can be

visually represented by building a square, finding

the midpoint on the bottom line and drawing a line

to the top right corner. You then drop the line

horizontally and extend the square into a

rectangle (figure 2).

(Figure 2) Drawing a “Golden Ratio” rectangle

This pattern can be repeated infinitely in

geometric progression to create a “Fibonacci

Sequence” that will produce a “Golden Spiral”

(figure 3).



Using Phi and the “Golden Ratio” – continued

(Figure 3) Fibonacci Sequence (red), Golden Spiral

(black)

Using a similar technique you can also

infinitely explore the angles created by drawing

“Golden Triangles” (figure 4) to and from

various points of the rectangle using the Phi

ratio.

(Figure 4) Golden Triangles using Phi

The Golden Ratio in Image Composition

Golden Ratio geometric patterns can be used

in image composition in the same manner as

the Rule of Thirds. In other words, the image

focal points should be placed along these lines

and/or on their intersections.

The “Golden Spiral" leads the eye to the focal

point of the composition. It could be a visual

line or several subjects, or it could proportional

space that without leading the eyes, it fulfills its

purpose (figure 5).

(Figure 5) Golden Spirals

“Golden Triangles” are convenient for photos

with diagonal lines. Roughly place your focal

points in the triangles to determine the best

composition (figure 6).

(Figure 6) Golden Triangles

Yet another “Golden

Rectangle” can be drawn by taking the Golden

Triangles (shown in figure 4) minus the diagonal

corner to corner lines to produce a parallelogram

(figure 7).

(Figure 7) Golden Rectangle showing a parallelogram



Using Phi and the “Golden Ratio” – continued

Resources for Using the Golden Ratio

Here are a few resources that will help you

incorporate the Golden Ratio into your image

editing. These tools are a great way to explore

Phi ratios and learn how to use them for image

composition.

Lightroom - The cropping tool in Lightroom

displays Golden Ratio overlay guides for the

Golden Spiral, Golden Triangles and a Phi

grid. Select the cropping tool and toggle

through the various overlay guides by hitting

the letter “O” key.

Photoshop - Here are two third party plugins

that will help you use the Golden Ratio in

Photoshop.• Golden Crop – is a free (donationware)

sourceforge automation script. It uses layers and

runs under File-Automate when installed. Go to

http://goldencrop.sourceforge.net/.

• Golden Section – is a plugin by Power Retouche

that is available for $29. Go to

http://powerretouche.com/Divine_proportion_tutor

ial.htm.

PhiMatrix - Used as a stand-alone program

that lets you explore countless Golden Ratio

patterns in grids, circles, ovals, spirals,

rectangles, squares and diagonals. It even

has Golden Ratio overlays for the face.

Available for $19.95 at

http://www.phimatrix.com.

Glossary

Just what is all of the terminology used in

photography? Find out right here…each

month new terms will be shared.

LAMP - The complete unit of an artificial light

source, including filament or electrodes, bulb,

base and other components.

LANDSCAPE - A picture of the land and its

aggregate natural features from a single

viewpoint. Scenery is the subject of a landscape

image.

LARGE FORMAT - Film format having individual

frames of 4" X 5" or larger.

LATITUDE - Commonly “Exposure latitude” - The

range of brightness, including shadow detail, that

a film can record in a single image before the

highlights wash out or the shadows become

muddy. Fast films generally have greater

exposure latitude than slow films. Knowing a

film‟s latitude lets you know how much exposure

can be varied and still produce an acceptable

image.

LCD - Liquid Crystal Display - A small flat image-

viewing screen in a digital camera.

LEADING LINES - Lines that direct the viewer's

attention to an image's center of interest.

LENS - A true “lens” is a single piece of glass (or

other transparent substance) having one or more

curved surfaces used in changing the

convergence of light rays. What we commonly

call a photographic lens is more accurately and

technically called an “objective,” an optical device

containing a combination of lenses that receive

light rays from an object and form an image on

the focal plane. However, dictionaries have come

to accept the usage of the term “lens” to mean

the entire photographic objective itself. A

photographic lens will always be called a lens,

even though it is not a lens, but has a lot of

lenses in it. A camera lens collects and focuses

rays of light to form an image on a digital

camera's sensor or a traditional camera's film.

LENS BARREL - The part of a lens that is

cylindrical and that holds the lens elements.

LENS HOOD or "Lens shade" - An accessory

that attaches as a collar to the front of a lens to

prevent stray light from striking the surface of the

lens, causing flare.

LENS SPEED - The widest aperture at which a

lens can be set. A lens with a fast speed has a

very wide maximum aperture, such as ƒ/1.4, for

example, and transmits more light than a lens

with a slow lens speed, such as ƒ/8.

Tips from Bill BrownRetouching for a Better

Image: Levels and Curves

Photoshop layers are like

sheets of stacked acetate.

You can see through

transparent areas of a layer

to the layers below. You

move a layer to position the

content on the layer, like sliding a sheet of

acetate in a stack. You can also change the

opacity of a layer to make content partially

transparent.

Two of these types of adjustments are Levels

and Curves.

Using Levels in Auto Mode

1. Open an image.

2. Duplicate the background layer.

3. From the “Create New Fill or Adjustment

Layer” button at the bottom of the layer

palette, select Levels.

4. Within the Levels dialog box, click “Auto”.

Using Levels

1. Open an image.




palette, select Levels. (See previous

example.)

4. Using the arrow pointers at the bottom of the

histogram, move the left and right

arrowheads to the beginning of the

histogram.

5. Adjust the middle arrowhead to adjust the

mid tones.

Using Curves

1. Open an image.




palette, select Curves. (See previous

example to see Curves.)

Notice the difference between all of the

examples. When modifying your image, use the

adjustment that is the most effective.

“Focus”

This month we put the

“focus” on Kevin and

Kaleigh Walsh.

Kevin and his daughter

Kaleigh live, work and

go to school in

Mundelein and now are

in their 2nd year with the

club.

Kaleigh is a freshman at Carmel High School

and Kevin is a local Re/Max Realtor. Kevin

became more interested in photography over

the last 3 years as a result of his work and

taking his own photos of the properties he and

his wife, Janine, list for sale in the local MLS.

After using point and shoot cameras for years

and seeing better photos of homes on the

internet, Kevin knew he had to upgrade his

equipment. Upon seeing her Dad acquire a

new camera, Kaleigh asked if she could

acquire her Dad‟s previous camera; which she

did by mowing lawns this past year.

Kaleigh likes to shoot wildlife, flowers and is

acquiring a style all of her own. Kevin likes to

shoot home interiors, landscapes and has

taken portraits for friends and their pets.

Kevin shoots with a Canon EOS 5D and

Kaleigh has her Dad‟s Canon SX10 IS, which

replaced her Nikon Coolpix L11.

Here are just some of Kevin and Kaleigh‟s

photographs.

Accomplishments and

Accolades

Each month members are highlighted for their

exciting photography news.

• John Williams just bought a new Wacom Pen and

Touch tablet to use with Lightroom and Photoshop

and is looking forward to learning all that he can do

with this new tool.

• Jerry Donahue will be showing my Australia slide

show to the Mount Prospect Women's Club next

Tuesday, March 1.

Congratulations to John and Jerry!
