Low Light Challenges

Making Sense of your Choices

Often times a photographer faces low light situations and/or dimly lit venues. Situations like this include indoor ball games, evening or night outdoor events, parties, weddings … and the list goes ON and ON!

Challenges like these have haunted photographers for decades. Shooting in low light has always been a challenge even back in the days of film cameras. Adding to this difficult challenge many times we can’t use a tripod because of limited space, limited mobility, and seating arrangements. So, from this point on we’ll assume that a tripod cannot be used. We’ll also assume, since many of these challenges are events where subject matter is a long ways off, that we can’t use on-camera flash or any type of artificial light.

Making the right choices in your camera settings is the first thing we need to address to successfully shoot sharp images in low light. Many photographers, when faced with this challenge, resort to one of the “auto” modes such as the sports mode. This is not the best solution for any photographer unless it’s ALL you know how to do. The “sports” mode is limited mostly to outdoor venues and offers us no solutions to indoor lighting challenges.

This segment of our photographic education, symbolically called “working in low light”, is often overlooked, especially in today’s “electronic and digital” age. Cameras are now more of a computer than a camera, so we have to be diligent in how we use this gear and all of the things it can supposedly do for us. However, we do need to understand that it cannot do everything.

First and foremost – we have to change the mindset that we have about digital cameras. That is this: “I’m going to just shoot and see what the camera does”. How often have you said that in your mind? I’m sure you’ve said it way too often. I think we all have at some point. Changing this thinking to “I’m going to make the camera do this for me” instead is a much better mindset to find. Taking control is SO important. In fact, it’s the first BIG step in bridging the gap from amateur to pro.

Photography Education Essentialsby Jeff Roush, Education Director 3CT

We have to make the right choices and selections of ALL of your camera settings to properly solve and control these low light shooting situations. There are really only a few settings we can control on our cameras, so why do we make this SO difficult? 1. ISO 2. F-stop 3. Shutter Speed 4. Lens Choice … and that’s IT!

Now, seeing this should at least help you understand that this not really that hard. There are only four things to learn a little bit about. The part that most people don’t’ realize, or maybe they forget, is that everyone of these things is crucial and critical; and every time you change one it can force you to change the other.

Put things in Order

The thought process (something I talk about a lot) is really the secret in moving up the skill ladder in photography. This is a behavior that divides the “really great” and the “really not so great” photographers. Not teaching yourself to think is one of the great roadblocks to success.

When preparing to shoot, here are the steps, thought processes, we all need to use. Do it in this order!

1. Pick the lens you want/need to use

2. Choose the correct shutter speed for this specific lens

3. Choose the f-stop you prefer to use (mostly it will be wide open since you are in low light)

4. Choose the ISO that makes sense for these other settings. (You might be forced to use a very high ISO to be able to keep the other numbers where they are.)

It’s crucial that you make these decisions in this order – ALWAYS! Let’s discuss each of these now, and try to make sense of “why” we do things in this order.

Page 3

Page 4: 3CT In FocusTaking control is SO important. In fact, it’s the first BIG step in bridging the gap from amateur to pro. Photography Education Essentials by Jeff Roush, Education Director

Education ContinuedPicking the right lens to shoot at any venue is important. In fact, by choosing the right lens we somewhat guarantee the proper results in cropping and compositions. Once you’ve chosen this lens, the second decision we make is what shutter speed to use. We arrive, very simply, at the shutter speed by using the shutter speed formula that we’ve hopefully learned over the years of education.

Here is the rule: Lens Length X’s 2 = Shutter Speed

For example – 200 mm lens = 1/400th Shutter Speed.

Do this religiously to a fault! This is the secret to creating images that are sharp and clear. Shutter speeds too slow will ruin photographs. Images will be soft and appear to be blurry because of camera movement with longer lenses. This rule has nothing to do with your talent, how many years you’ve been shooting, or what camera you are using. This rule is simple physics.

Next, choose an f-stop that works for what you are doing. In most cases at these low light events controlling depth of field is not important and choosing your widest f-stop is a good idea. So, use f4, 5.6 or whatever your widest f-stop might be. Remember that using smaller f-stops (f22 / f16) only creates an exposure requiring longer shutter speeds – and, this going against what we are trying to accomplish.

So, you’ve chosen your widest f-stop, i.e. f4, and now you are ready to address the last step which is finding the right ISO that fits with ALL of your previous choices. DO NOT change the shutter speed or F-stop at this point. Change ONLY the ISO to make the exposures work. You may find you need to use a very high ISO such at ISO 1600 or even higher. If so, that’s ok. Use it! Do a few test photos to determine if you have found the right ISO. Remember do NOT change the other settings.

Once you’ve determined your ISO by testing you are ready to shoot. If you find that conditions change while you are shooting do NOT change anything BUT the ISO. If it gets darker, speed up the ISO. We have a natural desire to simply slow the shutter speeds down when our scene gets darker. Do not do this – only change the ISO. Remember the shutter speed rule!

Page 4

Once you figure out the logic of this system you’ll be able to do it easily every time you are faced with a difficult photographic low-lighting situation. This process needs to become a normal behavior when attempting to shoot in low light venues. In fact, this thought process should become part of your normal “pre-shooting” mental warm up to ensure that you’ve got everything set properly for your session.

Do I use this process when shooting? Yes, I do … All the time … It works!

Enjoy!

Back To The Future

Back To The Future

There is a growing renewed interest in film cameras. In the past couple years, the segment is growing from two distinct demographics: the baby boomers and the millennials. Even more so is the growth of “old school” manual prime lenses within the same set of demographics. What is the catalyst providing this growth? As one of the members of the baby boomers demographic, I can give you my perspective. For the millennials, I have asked a few and will give their perspectives as well.

Film use, after reaching an all time low just a few years ago, has increased to the point where film manufacturers are releasing film they discontinued just years before. Most of this resurgence is that of baby boomers who want to shoot the camera they once owned scores of years ago or shoot with the film camera they always wanted but could not afford at the time. The millennials, however, want to replicate the “art” of photography. It is the “art look” which both segments of the demographics long for in their photography. A large portion of this look comes from the rounded leaf apertures found in old film cameras and lenses. This rounding of the iris gives a nearly circular bokeh, which is all the rave today. A glimpse on eBay will show the popularity of these old school prime lenses, many now selling for triple what they were just two years ago!

From a DSLR photographer’s viewpoint, getting the proper exposure has never been easier using film. Sure you can use light meters and tables or just match the settings on your DSLR to match those of the films speed, aperture, and shutter of the film camera! If you are exposing for the entire scene, then set your DSLR to the applicable metering. Also, if you are exposing for a specific “spot” in the scene, set your DSLR so!

Questions or comments are always welcome.

Your President,Doug Wong

Photographic Artistry Workshop

Hosted by GCCC, September 2, 9AM-3PM

Over the past few years I’ve been ask by many individuals this very question: “How do I, as a photographer, increase my skill level and get better ... better than I was yesterday, or last week, or last year?” Many of us remain within our comfort zone even when we try to move out of it. The road to improvement gets tougher as we get better.

You will need to bring your cameras, lenses, and a tripod. Also, be prepared to be challenged personally with thought-provoking questions that might be tough to answer. Be ready to question “why you do the things you do”. And be ready to critique your own photographic behavior like you have never critiqued it before.

This program will open your mind to new possibilities, new thoughts, and new creative energy.

You must register in advance for this workshop at: http://www.roushphotoeducation.com/photoart.htm

The cost is $49 with part of the proceeds helping the Giles County Camera Club.

Emily Naff’s passion for photography was born from an enthusiasm for travel, and for her, those two activities are entwined. When traveling, she allows herself the time to wander and to look.  International travel causes one to see with a new perspective, and this inspires her photography.

Aug. 17 – Barry Baskin – http://www.barrybaskin.com/ “I’ve been in and around photography most of my life. My Grandmother was a professional photographer. In my younger years, I spent many a day posing for her while she tried out different lighting and poses. That would probably explain why I have few family photos now. I loved to watch her work in the darkroom. Sometimes, she would let me rock the trays of chemicals or transfer the finished prints into the water bath. It was magical the way she would dodge and burn the image from the enlarger onto the paper. Sometimes it was trial and error until she got just the right balance of light and contrast. During my college years, I worked in the camera department of a local retail chain. This is where I purchased my firs “good” camera, a Minolta SRT0201. Life intervened and I fell away from photography over the years. I got back into it in 2005. This is when I purchased my first digital camera. Digital, along with decent processing software opened new doors for me to experiment on the “cheap”. While I still shoot mainly landscape, nature and travel, I’ve gotten more into people and “street” photography. Now my enjoyment is “making” pictures instead of just taking pictures.

LeConte Photographic Society:http://www.lecontephotographic.com

In April a few of us went up to Bays Mountain State Park in Kingsport, TN. We enjoyed some of the birds they have on display as well as a couple otters, deer, turtles, etc.

Some of us also traveled in June to a lilly farm over in Franklin, NC as a day trip. July brought us sunflowers over in Knoxville and a few people traveled there to photograph the sunflowers and birds that land on them.

Since a lot of us have an annual pass to Biltmore, we try to go over there every month or so. We went over July 1st to see the lilies, and they were beautiful. The roses were just about finished, but other things were blooming. You can always check the bloom report on their website, or just call them to see what is blooming. They had 21 baby goats this year, and they were precious.

Also in July, a couple of us ventured to Cades Cove. We were on the lookout for bears, deer, fawns but not much was moving around that morning. We still had fun.

This past Friday night July 21st a group of us headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway just 20 minutes. east of Cherokee to Waterrock Knob for sunset and Milky Way photos. It all turned out so well, the skies were clear and the stars were really twinkling.

Saturday, October 21: 7 to 9 PM - First Presbyterian Church, 20 N Dixie, Cookeville, TN 38501

Program by Gary Moore – “Polar Wanderings” Travel from Iceland in the winter to Greenland and Spitsbergen (part of the Svalbard archipelago) in their polar summers. From the Artic we will go south to the Antarctic region covering the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula.Gary is a retired mineral exploration geologist, basically a prospector, who during a 30- year career worked all over the US, Canada, Mexico, South Africa and a little in Australia. He considered it a wonderful experience to see so much of the world and to get paid for doing it. Now that he is retired there is the desire to see more, to visit the places that he has not yet seen. Gary has tried many of the tourist locations – Parks, Italy, the Greek Isles and the National Parks in the US, beautiful places, but there are such crowds of tourists. This is not what he wants. Gary enjoys the peace and tranquility of the wilderness and has found it in the unspoiled polar regions of our Earth. Some refer to this as “Polar Fever”. “I am inspired by the rugged, awesome beauty of these regions and have a passion for photographing mountains, the ice and the abundant wildlife.” Gary says he has seen and photographed only a small sampling of the polar regions, parts of Iceland, Greenland, and Spitsbergen in the north and South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula in the south, but this is enough to keep him going back for more.

Pontoon Boat Rides on Center Hill LakeOne of the tours being offered at the 3CT/CCC Fall Event October 20-22

By Sue Milligan

You won’t want to miss this opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall colors as you cruise Center Hill Lake. The Park Rangers and Friends of Edgar Evins State Park have arranged for our group to have two pontoon boats ready to depart from the Edgar Evins Marina at 9 AM on Sunday, October 22. This 2 ½ - 3-hour leisurely tour will be led by Ranger Mark Taylor. We have it on good authority that Mark is an excellent photographer…who better to guide us to all the best photo ops! Be prepared to see some amazing scenery, color, local landmarks, wildlife and the stately lake homes nestled on the mountaintops.

Unfortunately, there are only 22 seats available, so may we suggest that you make your reservations as soon as possible through the parks registration service: https://www.123signup.com/register?id=hqvng They take visa or Master Card. The cruise is well worth the $15.00 ticket charge. Registration will be open from August 1 – October 15. Usually refunds are only available if the park cancels for any reason, but they have graciously allowed us to make on-line cancellations or change the number of seats up until October 8, two weeks before the event.

The 6,000-acre Edgar Evins State Park is wrapped around the shores of the beautiful Center Hill Lake in the steep and hilly Eastern Highland Rim. It is one of the most beautiful reservoirs in the state. The park, dedicated in 1975, was named for James Edgar Evins, a local business man, Mayor of nearby Smithville and a State Senator who was instrumental in the development of the Center Hill dam and Reservoir. Center Hill Lake was created by means of a dam, constructed by the U.S. Army corps of Engineers in 1948 for production of electricity and flood control. It covers 18,220 acres and has 255 miles of shoreline, the deepest point being 190 ft. The Caney Fork and the Falling Water River are the major tributaries. Edgar Evins, Burgess Falls and Rock Island State Parks all contain portions of the lake’s shoreline.

The parks mixed hardwood forest, which includes Tulip Poplar, Oak, Hickory, Buckeye and Wild Chery, makes for amazing color in the Fall. There is a large variety of wildlife to be seen year-round from the lake and as you roam the parks 11 miles of trails. The rugged bluffs are home to wintering eagles and a summer resident of the park is the rare Cerulean Warbler. Sorry, we won’t be seeing the Warbler in late October but we will be keeping our eyes open for the Eagles, hawks and other various shore birds!

Hubby, Les, and I will be your tour guides. We will leave from the Parking lot of Comfort Suites in Cookeville at 7:45AM sharp. We should have about a 45- minute leeway at the park to make a pit stop, get our gear together and head down the hill from the parking lot to the marina and time to check-in. for the 9AM departure. (If you are heading to the Edgar Evins marina on your own try to be there by 8:15 latest.) We did not fill the boats to capacity so that there would be room for gear and to move a bit for picture taking. We do suggest that you keep your gear to the minimum, leave the tripods behind, dress warmly (layering is always good), have the rain gear ready to go just in case, have something to protect your camera and lens, throw in some water and snacks and you should be good-to-go!

Postmodernism

A late 20th-century art and cultural movement which critiques the formal and idealistic aspects of modernism in favor of context and process-driven concerns, often with political or cultural implications. Untitled Film Stills by Cindy Sherman can be seen as a quintessential postmodern work: the photos are described as film stills within the implication of a larger cinematic narrative, specific kinds of movies (Film Noir and New Wave films) are referenced, Sherman “performs” as a variety of characters, the roles of women in society and cinema are deconstructed, and finally, the viewer of her photos references their own understanding of cinema and photography in response to the work.
