Advanced user of Digital SLR or pocket camera often hesitate before start to shoot : what format file that i will choose, JPEG/JPG or RAW?

In this article we will discuss simply different between them.


image
Basically most of camera working like this : when we press the shutter , camera will record the RAW data that received by censor. Based on this data, software in the camera will decide some parameters, for example how far the photo need to be sharp, which the best white balance setting, how much exposure level that should you use, how the saturation value and how the the contrast, and etc. The result of data editing by software in this camera will be  send to the memory card in JPEG file.
Are you already understand about the different of them? Yes, RAW is raw data which is catch by censor directly , while the JPEG is the final data which is already processed by camera software. If we decide to choose the RAW format, it means that we ask the camera to send the raw data from censor to memory card directly. And if you choose the JPEG format, it means that we ask the camera to process data from censor firstly before send to memory card.
Why there's Format RAW?For most of photography lover, the photo result by camera usually is good enough. But for professional , they don't admit the camera dominating the photo that was taken. RAW format make us to change the parameter as we want. With the RAW software editing ( photoshop, lightroom, GIMP, ACDSee and etc), we can change the the value of exposure, white balance, saturation, until the contrast to save in different format then : JPG or TIFF.
The advantages of using RAW format? 
  • We can manipulating the RAW file become the photo suitable with what we want.
  • The editing photo option is more variates,  so this is good for who's have creative soul.
  • save more many information ( if you choose the JPEG, camera will delete few data to smaller file size and speed up the data processing)
  • Photo quality is more good overall, it because there's compression if using JPEG.
Disadvantages of using RAW ?
  • Take  the Hardisk & Memory Capacity a lot. Because there's no compression process, so the RAW file is more large better than JPEG ( about 3 unti 4 times more large)
  • Take more times. Even during shooting ( decrease the camera speed especially in burst mode) nor during computer processing ( because its file size). 
So, which is the format that should you use ?
  • If you have hardisk above 500GB, memory card minimum 4GB and you shoot the special moment ( human or place), pick the RAW mode. 
  • If you're shooting the usual things or need burst shooting, or just have small capacity of hardisk and memory card, pick the JPEG mode.
  • Or choose the middle way if you have more hardisk and memory card capacity : pick the RAW mode + JPEG ( camera will saves 2 formats at once).
Notes:
  1. JPEG file format also give permission to process quite many photos, but the result and the range is not so much and good like RAW. 
  2. There's also TIFF format, but you shouldn't use it because the file size is very very large.

Nature's Pattern Matching: Young fronds of a Cycas
In the article before in composition series, we've learn about line, now it's time to discuss about the next element : Pattern. 

Understanding Pattern

Simply, pattern can be mean as iteration. Iteration in this case is iteration of shape, line, color, stuff or any object, and the iteration maybe in regular format or just a little bit irregular. The good photographer will use this iteration in a photo, so the result is not only beautiful but also have strong impression for audience.

Where we can find the good pattern for photo?

volvoformation
Composition Element in Photography  : Pattern
Pattern is everywhere, even it was made by human or natural such as : banana leaf, onion slash , conch shell, tiger skin, field, high buildings, floor, even on any house you can find the pattern of palate and floor. Good or not of the photo pattern  is very subjective to be sure. Shooting the pattern from the front, it could be more good when we shoot from the side. Shooting the pattern on rose , it could be quite boring when you using standard lens and more dramatic using macro lens.

The point is not always open your eyes to detect the pattern that appear everywhere you are. If a secret agent always alert to detect the enemy who masquerade,make sure that your eyes always alert the pattern that might be also masquerade.
open onion
Composition Element in Photography  : Pattern

Maximize The pattern in Composition
When you've found the interesting pattern, there are two point things that you must do to make the photo more dramatic in photo: 

Squares, circles and lines. Oh My!
Composition Element in Photography  : Pattern
  • View Angle of Shot 
  • View angle of shot take important thing when you shoot the pattern, it might be the rose looks so flat if you shoot from the side and it looks more good if you shoot from the up. For example , play with some angle to find which is the best
  • Lens Type /  Shooting Length 
  • The pattern that appears when you slash the onion, of course it looks very flat when you shot from far length, but when you use macro lens, ans shoot from very close length, it will be looks great
  • Make Frame Full of Pattern 
  • Yes, there's no other way to make pattern more dramatic besides make frame full of pattern. With the frame full of pattern , there's no disturbing element , so the pattern is look ore strong and dramatic. 
    So let's TRY!

Composition Element of Photography : Line

In Photography or design world, there are six important elements to set composition , they are : Line, Shape, From, Texture, Pattern and Color. We can recognize the application of those elements, in photography world. Now Let's we start from the first element : Line.

From six Composition elements above, line is is the most important elements ( depending from professional photographer). Without line, there is no shape, without shape there's no form. And without line and shape, there is no pattern. This is about how to use the line in order to make your photo looks stunning , let's discuss together :

Everyday we see line elements everywhere, but maybe because our eyes are too familiar , we don't recognize it. Horizon, river flow, beach line, paddy field, road, railroads, stair, building, and etc. Basically, line is divided by 4 types , they are: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and curve. Each type can represented the current message and feel for audience in photo.


1. Horizontal Line
Horizontal Line give impression of stability, silent, permanent and strong. The obvious example from horizontal line is Horizon of sky which divide between sky and island ( or ocean), horizon is like legs for body : strong, solid, foundation. Avoid using horizontal line in the middle of your photo, because it show flat and dead impression. For better photo, find the horizontal line which is flake like this photo bellow :




Horizontal line

2. Vertical Line
Vertical line can represent the power and high impression ( for example multi-storey building) also growth ( for example : tree). Avoid placing the vertical line in the middle of photo, so it divides the photo become just two parts.

Vertical line 

3. Diagonal Line
Diagonal line is more dynamic better than Horizontal and Vertical line. this line give the feel in composition so the impression is more life. When you explore the diagonal line properly in photo , you will get very impressive and eye catching photo. Use the diagonal line with pulling one side to other side which is across each other.

Diagonal line
4. Curve Line
From the other line elements of composition that is flat, the curve line have lithe and very dynamic characteristic. if the diagonal line make composition more life, the curve is more that it, this line give sexy impression in photo composition. The smooth curve, relax and moving. The curve line also very dominant in nature, you can find in many shape, such as : mountain, beach curve, edge of leaf. Find the curve line around you and find more coll photo.

curve line

curve line

Now you've recognized 4 linew in composition elements.It's time to find the lines arounds you. Practise your eyes to recognise that lines. And don't forget you can combine many different lines in one photo, like this photo bellow :

There are many interesting object come in the situation where we have to shoot in low light condition and we don’t want to ( can’t) use flash , even though we want to make photo still sharp. Of course we don’t want to pass to take picture of the moments such as city view in the beautiful night, music concert in the night or beautiful party . So here is the photography tips to make sharp photo even in the low lighting:



1. Use Tripod or Monopod. The equipment that is very recommended and easy to use is Tripod or Monopod.


2. If you don’t have tripod , try to make your camera stable with using the environment around, for example with lean on wall, ladder, and etc.


3. Try to use aperture as wide as possible , if your lens have limit aperture in number f/2.8, use the aperture f/2.8.

4. If both of tips above are still not enough, increase the camera ISO until shutter speed in minimum 1/60 (ISO setting on some new generation cameras can reach above 1000 and still can make photo with less noises).

5. When you use tips 4, you should activate the High ISO noise Reduction feature in camera to decrease the noise, or

6. You can pass the tips 5 and use the noise reduction software to decrease noise in post production phase. Software like Noise Ninja, Imagenomic Noiseware or NIK’s Dfine are pretty good to decrease noise in the final result oof photo. If you use lightroom 4 to set the photo collection, ightroom have noise reduction feature that very shopisticated.

7. Read again about optimum shutter speed: if you use the focal length Xmm,you should use shutter speed in 1/X seconds.

It was so many questions about why photo that you shoot until now is still not sharp like you want. In order to make photo always sharp, the important thing that you must know the resons of blurred photo.
5 Reasons Why Photo is Yet to become Sharp
5 Reasons Why Photo is Yet to become Sharp
In Logically and based on practices, the reasons why photo is still not sharp or blurred can be determine by 5 things bellow. Just for assumption, assume that we now use the fixed lens f/1.8
1. Need More Fast Shutter Speed
The important thing when you holding camera is don’t use shutter speed more slow better than 1/ focal length. So when you shootusing lens 50mm, you should use the shutter speed 1/60 or more fast, and you must holding it in very stable.
More length the focal length of lens, more fast the shutter speed that we have to use. When using lens 200mm, at least you have to  use 1/250 seconds. Telephoto Lens is not only zooming the object, it also mke blur more visible. IS and VR lens also helping.
 2. Attention for Moving Object
The rule number 1 above is for shooting motionless object and the photographer is also idle, but if we shoot the car at teh street or flying bird or we are moving  when we shoot, of course we only need fixed  1/focal length the photo is still not looks so sharp.
In this situation , read again about how to freeze the moving object..
3. Shooting the Wide Open
Shooting with lens 50mm f/1.8 push us to use biggest aperture in f/1.8. The problem is the weakness of lens is hard to get super sharp photo in the biggest aperture. This isn’t mean that you must always shoot in sweet spot lens like f/4, but at least lower the operture just a little. When use lens f/1.8, try using aperture f/2 or f/2.8.
If you want sharp photo in aperture f/1.8 you need lens f/1.2 or f/1.4, so buy the lens in f/0.95 .
4. High ISO
Shooting with very high ISO have risk to produce more high noises . Even the camera now, especially expensive class is more sophisticated in hiding the noise i the high ISO 3200, but noise is noise. Except you use adnaced camera, noise will looks when we force use high ISO. And the noise caused the photo deatil looks unsharp and reduce the sharpness overall.
5. Lighting
There’s sharp that really sharp and there’s sharp because looks sharp. Looks sharp when we shoot in the right contrast, in sweet dark – bright object and it all need good quality lighting. Try to shoot in flat lighting dan less contrast, so the phto is look unsharp. Technically it can be sharp, but visually looks usual and not so sharp. So find the condition where our photo have good contrast definition.

The different of professional and amateur Photographer is just from income sources, don’t related with the quality photo.

Meanwhile amateur Photographer is them who assume the photography is just hobby while the main income is from the other job. Sometimes amateur photographer get money from the photo , but they call it bonus.The assume that Professional Photographer more good better than amateur it’s not always right. The truth is , the Professional Photographer is who have job as photographer.

In Photography, negative space is the space that around the main photo object. In design world, negative space are recognized as white space. It’s difficult to describe the negative space, but it will be more easy with sample of photo bellow




In photo above, the main subject if two people who is paddling the boat, meanwhile the negative space is the water surface with the blue colour that is looked so large.

Even though the negative space doesn’t have the details and moreover tehre’s nothing there, but it’s huge role in photo. The negative space often to be used by photographer to reinforce the main object. How big and small the negative space make our eyes can focus on the main object that more stunning even the size is small.With reinforcing the main object, a photo is more easy to be enjoyed.

In design nor architecture world, minimalism concept is a concept that give much negative space. With only using the element that truly essential and throw away the elements that is not necessary,a minimalism design ( graphic or house) have big space to breath and cozy. In the hectic environment that we find everyday, a photo offering many negative space that have impression it self.




You can try to use negative space to enrich your photos taste. At the other time when you shoot, think the silent space and roomy in photo, so it feels so balance.

When you composing a photograph, even through viewfinder nor the camera LCD screen, try to always thinking before press the shutter. Don’t let the simply elements ruin whole photo. Some disturbing elements that can be fixed by photoshop, indeed. But like the quote “ preventive is more good”. Here some simply mistakes when take a picture : 

1. Avoid The unsightly objects
Before you press the shutter button, make sure there’re no disturbing elements in photo frame, such as : trashes,some people who walk in the background, and etc. There are some mistakes of photo that you can fix through photoshop or lightroom , but more easy to avoid it before press the shutter button. Trashes in picture bellow for example , it’seasy to avoid with move the vie angle or find the other spot where’s no trashes stuck. Erasing the trashes through photoshop? Of course you can but need more times and  make sure that you’ve been mastering the photoshop.



2.  Be Careful with Cable and Line
Line is the strong elements of composition because it’s very catchy for people eyes. That’s why appearance of disturbing line in photo can ruin whole photo. For example there are two photos below. First photo should be beautiful but there are 2 iron cables that cross and ruin whole photo. Second photo, the umbrella girl become not beautiful because one of her eyes covered by umbrella pole.




Only need to think  just a little bit more to avoid the photos above.


3. Tilt Horizon
Except you deliberate to make tilt horizon for artistic need , try to make the horizontal line is horizontal in photo. The tilt Horizon make some people think that there’re something wrong on your photo.


But don’t worry you can fix it using photoshop.

4. Be careful with Body parts of other People
When we shoot , watch out the edge of frame , so there are no body  parts of other people that exist in the frame. Likewise when you decide to crop the body parts of  photo subject, do it carefully. Here the simply guides which are the body parts that you sould’t crop . Avoid cropping the picture on the body parts that is marked by red color. For example,  when you crop the arm from the elbow until palm hand. There’re no rules, but visually it’s not good . So you should avoid it:

Lens Kit is lens which is sold bundling with camera body. Evenly the lens Kit didn’t  seen interesting , the materials are made from plastic , and the specifications don’t make us proud to have it, but lens kit is the perfect option for who is just starting to learn photography  with the low budget of course.


Let’s figure out the 7 great features that you don’t know or sometimes you forget:

1. The advantages of Lens Kit: Have 4 focal length at once in 1 Lens
Even though Lens Kit didn’t looked so interesting, but lens kit have 4 classic focal length , in other world a lens kit can substitute 4 prime/fixed lens at once
.
Four classic focal lengths such as : 28 mm (wide-angle), 35mm( medium wide), 50mm (normal) and 85mm (portrait). The numbers of focal length above is the numbers of full frame camera, the length of focal is equivalent for APSC camera , they are : 18mm, 23mm, 35mm, and 56mm. And at this time , most of lens kit for APSC camera have 18-55mm focal length.The other choice is lens Kit with focal length from wide until approach the full frame camera, lens Kit that mos people have is 24-105mm.

Indeed, Lens Kit will offer the great aperture, the biggest is in numbers f/3.5, but at least you can get the basic function from 4 lens ( or more) in one Lens Kit.

2. The Advantages of Lens: Small and Light 
Lens kit that was often sold bundling with the APSC camera is 18-55mm. This lens is pretty plain, but need to know that he also very light and small.
For example, Lens Kit Canon 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 STM that only 200 grams with the maximum length only 6 cm.
Meanwhile this lens is like intermediate specification, Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM that is 650 grams and maximum length is 11 cm. Almost twice more length and 3 times more heavy.
Similar with Nikon. Lens Kit Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 have weight 195 gram and maximum length is 6 cm. Compare with Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G DX that have weight in 755 grams and maximum length is 11 cm.
If you walk away or traveling, weight and the size like this is very useful.

3. Advantages of Lens Kit: The filter is more cheap
Lens Filter still useful, even we live in the digital era. And the rule of this filter is : more wide the filter diameter the price is more expensive.
Basic Lens kit above have small size , and need the filter size also more small.
Filter Kenko Pro–1 CPL (circular polarize) that useful for cropping the reflection when we shoot on shiny surface ( water, mirror, and etc) that have size 77mm ( professional lens). Compare with the filter that similar with Lens Kit ( diameter 58mm).
