Learn How to Work With Photo Histograms

Scott Bourne writes, "Histograms illustrate how 256 possible levels of brightness are distributed in a digital image. The histogram's horizontal axis represents the range of brightness from zero (0) (the shadows) on the left side of the graph to 255 (the highlights) on the right. Think of it as a football field with 256 yard markers (0 to 255) upon which the team can stack pixels of the same brightness. Since these are the only values that can be captured by the camera, the horizontal line also represents the camera's maximum potential dynamic range. In other words, the horizontal line (from left to right) represents increasing brightness in your image."        Full Article

Switching From Film to Digital Photography

Rika Susan writes, "Photography remains just that when you convert to digital cameras: you still have to know how to compose and shoot pictures to get the best results. The way you see your subject, and visualize the resulting image doesn't change in any basic way.

Fujifilm Finepix E900 Review at DC Resource

DC Resource reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix E900 and said: "Photo quality was very good for the most part. The E900 takes well-exposed, colorful images with good sharpness and reasonable purple fringing levels. My main complaint is regarding the watercolor-like look to fine details in photos, like grass, shrubs, and trees. The E900 does offer better-than-average high ISO performance. Though it's not up to D-SLR standards, it is noticeably better than what most compact cameras offer."        Continue Reading Review by DC Resource

First Impressions Review of the Sony Cyber-shot S600

Digital Camera Info did a First Impressions Review of the Sony Cyber-shot S600 and said: "The S600 offers users a basic set of features with a few highlights. It has 6 megapixels, which is quite a lot for the $199 price. The camera also features a 2-inch LCD screen (though the resolution is not very good), 32 MB of internal memory, and a Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens. It has an ISO 1000 setting and a flash that can reach to 35 feet. The Sony S600 offers beginners a lot for their money."        Continue Reading Review

Shutter Speed Information and Advice

Eric Hartwell writes, "What is Shutter Speed? In very simple terms, shutter speed is the time it takes for the shutter on the camera to open and close. When the shutter is open, light is let in to the sensor and when it is closed, no light gets in.

The longer the shutter is open, the greater the amount of light that is let in. The more light, the brighter your image will be."    Full Article

Olympus Stylus 600 Review at Imaging Resource

Imaging Resource wrote a review on the Olympus Stylus 600 and said: "Its body design is trim and compact, with a button-based interface simpler than that found on earlier models. It offers the same water resistance that makes the rest of the Stylus line so practical for go-anywhere photography, and sports a big, beautiful 2.5-inch LCD monitor to view your photos on. While the LCD on the Stylus 600 does much better than average in bright sunlight, and offers a wider than average viewing angle, I do wish that Olympus had kept an optical viewfinder for low light shooting."        Continue Reading Review by Imaging Resource
