| Photo Tips Continued: |
| A
Mini-Topic here is ASA, ISO, or film speed. Even if you use
a digital camera, you need to choose a film sensitivity level.
If you are using actual film, you buy the "speed"
you want, but the sacrifice is usually in quality. Film that
is sensitive to low light usually produces images with less
detail because of the way that the film has to be produced to
capture photos in limited light. With digital cameras, the poorer
quality can be seen as "artifacts" or strange pixels
of odd color that can be seen when a photo is enlarged. No matter
how the camera or the film manufacturer hypes their product,
every camera and accessory has its limitations. |
PROCESSING OF FILM:
4. The last reason for poor focus may not be your
fault at all, but it really effects people who are shooting
with film. Labs can, and do, print images out of focus,
even if the film is sharp. If every shot on the roll
you have developed is soft focus, ask to have the work reprinted.
It isn't too likely that you made 24 mistakes! (You can also
have the roll reprinted if it all has some weird color cast-
this is most likely a printing issue as well, and not your fault!) |
I hope that my suggestions have been beneficial. I taught photography on a college level for 12 years, and I have tried to make the explanations in plain language and easy enough for inexperienced photographers. You can send your comments and questions, and your own expert advice by first using our Contact Form and I will try to address as many questions as possible.
I will
base my next article on the most frequently asked questions. |
