TALLERES FOTOGRAFICOS EN ARRECIFE

En el mes de junio se imparte una serie de talleres fotograficos por las calles de Arrecife. Son clases abiertas para tod@s, no importa su nivel de fotografia. Solo hace falta el telefono movil, opcionalmente la camara para sacar fotos y la mascarilla para llevarla cuando no podemos mantener la distancia.

Cada taller empieza en la zona del Charco de San Gines en Arrecife y es de 1 hora de duracion. Cada clase dedicamos a otro tema. Empezamos con una charla teorica y unos ejercicios de imaginacion. Luego realizamos unos ejercicios practicos, caminamos por las calles y paramos en los puntos de interes. Sacamos fotos segun las instrucciones dadas en el tema. Analizamos las fotos y comparamos los diferentes puntos de vista.

Es un taller para la gente que le gusta la fotografia y la buena compañia. 😍 📷

Aqui subo los carteles del proximo taller y abajo de los anteriores.

DEALING WITH CONTRASTING LIGHT - HDR

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range imaging and is a technique that allows you to balance the light when the natural contrast is very high. It normally happens with relatively dark space and a very bright light coming from a window or some spotlight lighting. More than one (normally three) picture must be taken to produce one final image. Here there are three pictures that look similar, but the settings are different. The first image is the closest to reality, the second one is underexposed and the third one is overexposed. Click on it to amplify.

None of those pictures is good but putting them together will balance the light, the areas that are burnt will be recovered from the underexposed image and the areas that are very dark will get some extra light from the overexposed one. Here is the photo that is composed out of those 3:

It looks better now but it still needs some adjustments such as removing chromatic aberration, correcting the lens profile and the perspective.

The next step is to adjust the color, tone, saturation, lighting and any other parameters that are applied to the entire picture. Some adjustments might be applied only to selected areas of the photo. In the end some details are modified, deleted, brushed, ect… Here is the final image:

Here there is the first and the final image to compare them. Click on it to amplify.

PROFESSIONAL HD PHOTOGRAPHY VS: CELL PHONE PICTURES

Why should you hire a professional photographer to take pictures of your property?

The simplest answer is: because it´s the best investment for your business. If you are selling or renting a property, your clients get the first impression by watching your pictures. Why can´t you take perfect photos with your cell phone? Because, first of all, it has some technical limitations. Professional photographer knows how to deal with difficult light condictions, different angles, knows when is the best moment to shoot, knows how to prepare the set and how to correct the images in post production.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here there are some examples. All images were taken by me, those on the left with a mobile phone and on the right with a professional camera and were properly processed. If you can see the difference between each two pictures, your clients will certainly do, too.
