The National Geographic website has posted an interesting collection of analemma a singular photographic specialty. According to Wikipedia illustrates a analemma is the curve describes the position of the sun in the sky if every day of the year he watches the same time of day and from the place of observation.

As can be seen in the images that illustrate this information, the analemma form a curve that is usually about one-eight. Analemma can be observed on other planets in the solar system, but have a different way to that observed in the Earth, Mars, for example, is very similar to a drop of water.

In this case, the authorship of the photographs is not for professionals but the National Geographic magazine’s website includes images taken by amateur astrophotography, including a Spanish Juan Carlos Casado, whose image is possibly the one with greater aesthetic value.

The first analemma was captured in 1978 and since then known more than twenty of these laborious and difficult pictures. In most instances, compositions analemma are the lower and higher, but not always.

The place to find beautiful analemma and many other astronomical images is The World at Night (TWAN), a website specializing in night photography.

The technology available today in digital cameras can enhance photos and make them like every few experts.

Gone are the days when it needs to keep the phone a good photographer to get photos sensational special moments, the time when uncertainty about the quality of the photos caused expectancy and expected days to reveal a roll of film is gone, now it takes only a few minutes to take, edit and print better photos.

Photographic technology has shifted to the methods used to capture images never before been so easy to take a picture of high quality without being a professional.

Breaking myths
Today, digital cameras can be achieved in almost all places. However, although the technological development of recent times has been highly improved, how to capture images not mean that photos taken with the new cameras and cell phones are of good quality, buy a digital camera does not ensure a good picture.

The idea that the camera brand, the amount of mega pixels, the size of the lens and the number of functions that exist in many models of cameras on the market today, affect the quality of the portraits is a of the myths of the photograph that has been denied by the professionals in this area.

In fact, the camera features are only tools that facilitate certain functions such as light to enter graduate or focus an image. If it is true that having good equipment helps improve image resolution as the basics for good photography are the same, but a good photographer can make a striking picture with any camera. You only need to know the limitations and functions of computer you have.

Basic types
It is difficult to get great pictures, but should learn some of the tricks for maximizing creativity and enjoy this hobby. Those photos of the children’s party or holiday tour that can be beautiful images to create a digital album that can then be shared on the blog or social networks.

Read the camera manual, this will reveal the functions of the same and all the advantages that these offer.

Keep the camera steady to capture a sharp image and perfect. It is important to keep the camera steady and not rush in making, for this you can use a tripod or take a firm stand with the body, keeping both arms close to your chest and use your thumb to press the shutter button to take vertical so that the arm does not extend over the head.

Avoid the sun hit the front to take a picture, so people do not go dark or black and white or very light background. In cases that can not be used to avoid the flash to make a backlight that will clear out the picture.

Use the rule of thirds. It has to imagine a grid over each image, position the key elements of the scene at the points where the grid lines intersect.

Leverage distance. A distant background object can enter fully into the same socket that the person portrayed. An extreme approach serves to highlight a detail.

The shutter speed digital camera affects the outcome, while slower shutter speed, the greater chance of blurring, to help to place the camera in automatic mode, making sure that the speed of capture will be 1 / 125 for photos of static objects and 1 / 400 for moving objects.

The rear screen is without doubt one of thanks to digital photography, but also the main consumer of battery, so you can take more pictures using the viewfinder is better and maintain this display off.

Preventing red-eye, most digital cameras have a feature to avoid them, but if she does not have the best way to prevent this is to prevent the reflection of the flash light on the retina aim at the target. If you have an external flash, the flash separate as possible from the camera. If the flash on the camera, ask the people featured in the photo look at a nearby object (eg a finger appropriately separating him from the camera) but not directly to the camera.

Find different angles to make a decision, try to locate in different positions for better impact.

If you love photography and are excited to use your digital camera with better resolution, read what follows. In this age of modern technology, digital cameras gained outstanding support in the international market.

Today, digital cameras can be achieved in almost all places. However, buying a digital camera does not ensure a superior quality picture. The person operating the digital camera is responsible for the outcome. Whether you’re a novice or an expert photographer, the following tips should help you improve your skills as a photographer using a digital camera.

There are two important aspects to take a good picture with a digital camera, proper exposure and focus right, even though both are interrelated. Generally, modern digital cameras have an automatic feature to provide an optimal picture. However, sometimes the auto exposure technology fails to see the scene properly, leading to poor exposure and, consequently, a bad picture. So it is important that you learn to use a feature of exposure compensation in digital cameras.

The shutter speed of your digital camera affects the outcome. The shutter speed of a digital camera means how long the shutter stays open, which usually happens in a split second as 1 / 30 or 1 / 400. While slower shutter speed, the greater chance of blurring. So if you put your camera in automatic mode, make sure that the speed of capture is 1 / 125. This is because it is difficult to expect a good picture with a slower shutter speed.

Conversely, if you want to take a photograph of a moving object, the shutter speed your camera needs to be placed at 1 / 400 to cancel the movement. Therefore, if the automatic does not display your digital camera a shutter speed fast enough, you must configure it to operate the shutter in manual mode.

Another aspect considered critical to take good photos with your digital camera, this is the aperture. Stated more simply, it means that will be the width of the shutter when you take the picture. There is a change between shutter speed and aperture setting on a digital camera. For example, if you increase the shutter speed to prevent blur in portraits, the shutter must be open enough to let in enough light. This can affect the results significantly. So if you want to maximize depth of field, take photos with a shutter speed slower. If your aim is to take pictures of objects that are not moving, you must set a small aperture. In the case of photographing a moving object, choose a higher speed.

If you want to know the secrets that professionals use to take pictures of nature and landscapes, will be surprised to know that such photographs are taken with the help of a tripod to minimize camera shake.

Taking photographs to inadequate light requires the use of a low-speed shutter and a tripod. Also, use a tripod for a camera small aperture and slow shutter to capture better pictures on sunny days.
Another secret magic to take pictures with your digital camera has to do with the technique used to photograph the object. Try positioning your feet firmly and strongly support their arms too. Then follow the object in slow motion, turning his body. This may improve the outcome of the photographs, although the background of the photo to get a little fuzzy.

Capture great pictures with your digital camera requires experience and creative imagination. However, you must learn the tricks to use all the features of your camera and produce stunning photos. Get to know your camera inside and out.

I think like most that we once the bug bit me in the photograph and looking at the website with the famous question “what camera to buy?” I fell here and since then have failed to linger.

Like any rookie I’m always looking for techniques, methods, new ideas and seeking to supplement what I am learning all of these great articles and the experiences of friends on the forum. Tutorials do not know yet but I keep trying because I like to share everything I read and see.

What I have is certainly not new and should have several techniques to achieve the same or better result, this is what I know and I think it has many uses in addition it would basically capture water in motion, at any time and with the equipment available. The idea seemed good to those who do not have a professional team or maybe at that moment does not have the appropriate and does not want to lose sight of a photo with silk effect.

What Items Do I Need?
Absolutely nothing … a camera of course … do not need special camera and tripod or filters. You just have to have the appropriate post-processing tool. Photoshop is the one I know but any program that operates in layers can be solved easily.

How Do You Make the Catch?
The camera settings should be the normal speed, aperture and ISO according to an image within the parameters of light you have, if you have low light, apply the same technique to that used in case of a portrait, even if you need flash, so you can activate.

Next step, very pulse and trying to keep the same position to take a 10 or 12 continuous photos, of course if you forget the detail tripod and shoot as you please, I have done with 10 photos and I like the result

The Processing
Now comes the work in Photoshop.

Upload all the pictures and choose which you like to be the bottom layer, the remaining groups simply by selecting and dragging them to stay in successive layers (Layer 1 Layer …… 10) inside the main project and you can go others removed so that only the primary with 10 photos inside and in the different layers.

All layers are selected and the next step is Edit / Auto-Align Layers, as shown in the picture.

This is no excuse when you have a show where the silk would be amazing effect and not having the right equipment.
