Charles S Johnson, Jr. says in his book, Science for the Curious Photographer, that “Photography is a human activity that depends on the entirely on the capabilities and limitations of the human visual system.” We as humans tend to judge the apparent resolution, contrast levels, whether it is over exposed or under exposed, the qualityContinue reading “The Limits of Human Vision”

There are three types of filters to consider. The most important one is the polarizing filter, or the PL filter. This gives control over reflections from glass, water, other shiny and semi- reflective (but not as reflective as a mirror) surfaces, as well as from light scattered from the sky. And then there are neutralContinue reading “Do We Need Filters Anymore?”

The easiest and probably least expensive way to get a close-up or macro shot capability is to get one or more supplementary lenses. These are a screw-on lens that attaches like a filter, but supplementary lenses are most definitely not filters. These close-up lenses are often called diopters, or plus diopters, because their strength isContinue reading “How to Get Very High Magnification”

I: Angle of View (or field of view) II: Perspective III: Depth-of-Field (DoF) IV: Diffraction Broadening V: Shutter speed/exposure According to this definition, two equivalent images would look exactly the sameContinue reading “What is an Equivalent Image?”

Many problems can be found in the design of wide-angle lenses with large apertures. First of all are aberrations. Distortion is common, and correcting and editing images becomes more and more difficult as the focal length decreases. So how do lens designers make a lens that will not distort a image nearly as much inContinue reading “Wide-Angle Lenses, Fisheye Lenses, and Panoramas”
