Photo Tampering Throughout History

http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/farid/research/digitaltampering/

Пропаганда, говорите, информационная война? А когда было иначе? История фотографических фальсификаций — с середины века девятнадцатого по наши дни.###Photography lost its innocence many years ago. In as early as the 1860s, photographs were already being manipulated, only a few decades after Niepce created the first photograph in 1814. With the advent of high-resolution digital cameras, powerful personal computers and sophisticated photo-editing software, the manipulation of digital images is becoming more common. Here, I have collected some examples of tampering throughout history.

Доходчиво и наглядно о технике съемки при ярком солнце.###Perhaps there are many ways to do this; I just know one. So I will share with you my best kept secret. You won’t tell anyone, right? And please, don’t hate me for using my Katie again. She’s all I’ve got. But I’m getting ready to give you a great tip—one that you can really use—so we’ll be even, okay?

Как снимать и обрабатывать объемные снимки. Занятно, оказывается это можно делать без каких-либо специальных приспособлений.###The process is really very simple, and the basics can be explained in less than a minute, but to become good at taking and presenting 3D photos take a bit more time, and it’s something that really develops with practice. I hope you’ll take what you learn here and get out and get lots of practice taking 3D photos.

Multi-Shot Panoramic HDR Photos

Съемка и постобработка панорамного HDRI. ###Turn off your lens’ AutoFocus feature. If you use AutoFocus, the lens is going to refocus every time you move the camera to take a new set of shots. For a small aperture and distant subject, you may not notice the difference in the final shot, but, then again, you might. Using Manual Focus is the only way to go. So, again, adjust your focus so that the main part of your panorama is sharp.

Bigger Photos Equals Higher Earnings

Не знаю как вам, но мне всегда казалось, что существующая зависимость цены на фотографии от их размера на микростоках в большой степени обусловлена тем, чтоб обладателям цифротушек за немерянные тыщи баксов было не так обидно.###I’ve often been frustrated that my 6 megapixel camera doesn’t allow me to access the bigger royalties of the extra large sizes at some microstock agencies. I wanted to find out exactly what I was missing and at what point it would become worthwhile upgrading my camera to increase my earnings potential.
