I leave you with a reflection of Misha on the handling of images, which to this day and age I think you will be very interesting at the same time may generate a very healthy debate. And keep in mind about all that talk about a man who manipulated images, long before the introduction of modern digital photography.

“… It is not a new idea to manipulate photographic images. In fact, to some degree, every image is manipulated. The real power of photography emerges when altered reality is presented as existing and taken for granted. An obviously manipulated image turns out to be hoax that shows lack of understanding of the particular power which has the picture: write convincingly in our subconscious that it captured on camera ever. In the best example of the image successfully manipulated, the question would never arise, “Is this real?”

With a share of Mr. Mauro A. Sources have come to an article by Digital Photography where he discussed various situations that everyone who starts in the photo (or take time on it) should be avoided. The truth is that in this passionate world in which to me is still much to learn, is very common to take a series of “vices” that can give rise to no progress on it. Already we have spent time in XatakaFoto to provide you some guidelines to advance in photography, but now we will try to identify situations that lead to stagnate.

The first and most important is knowing how to take advantage of every opportunity to take your camera with you. If you really like photography and want to advance in it, you have to be clear that you can never know exactly when it will be the perfect time to get a good picture. So we should always carry with us, beyond vacations, holidays or family gatherings. This is not to say that hanging always carry your SLR in the neck, fortunately we have the compact and even some phones that allow us to take great pictures.

But if it is true that we should try to carry an SLR camera when we can. Its variety of controls allow us to change many camera settings to get different results. This unfortunately can not be achieved with some compact cameras, at least not all, and of course ditch the cell phones.

Another point to avoid is not to take our time to take photographs. Many times we are going “too fast” and we do not stop for a moment to compose your picture or wait for the right time to take it, Japanese seem eager to take pictures of monuments. How many times have we said in XatakaFoto, the picture is composed in a very high percentage, in knowing how to take the perfect time. This requires knowing look to identify it, and this will only get your time sipping.

Do not worry what people say even in the many times we were frozen at the time to see a good snapshot wondering if people who are around us believe that we are “freaks.” I must confess that I am often happens, shyness overcomes me and gives me “trouble” getting the camera. Obviously not going to cut traffic by posing in the middle of Piccadilly Circus with our tripod, but if you overcome the fear of taking the camera.

We should also lose their fear (me at least, I suffer a lot) to ask a stranger who is on the street if we can portray whatever reason. As always says, “no” for an answer we already have, and maybe surprise us and kindly agreed to do portraits.

A final point is that we should avoid being “diehards”, if you’re starting out in the world of photography, even if it takes many years, I’m sure there’s still much to learn. This can be achieved in many ways, from reading blogs of photography (I am not referring to this in particular, that while we teach, there are many more options in the Web 2.0) journals or even by looking at the work of other photographers recognized .

In this crazy world of digital photography in which increasingly incorporate new technological developments unthinkable a short time, there are many people who want to keep feeling the magic of analog photography. Mythical-plastic markings as Diana, Holga or Lomo symbolize the opposite of what technologically perfect.

The simplicity of these cameras, toys attached to the great personality of his photographs, caused largely by their own deficiencies in construction, have made ??this a market increasingly in demand among fans who want a simple picture and a final surprise .

Until now this was a limited world of film photography, but the proposal launched by the Indian industrial designer and Holga Saikat Biswas D, may reach the toy-camera digital photography scene also.

Saikat proposes an all-plastic camera made, including its lens, with a very simple design and basic functions. It is so simple that its technical details not distract us and we can focus simply on making pictures. A pair of wheels to select sensitivity and shutter speed, four focus modes and a button to select the format are all configurable options. The lack of screen means we can not see the pictures until they move on to the computer, which makes that part of the movie magic that is until it is revealed.

Its strength would be a full frame sensor, but without some of the latest technical developments, which would make a most imperfect and cheaper camera rather the cost. For those who want to complicate your life would be added as an accessory diaphragm rings, a small plastic display and a swivel mini-flash.

The truth is he has a great painting, to see if anyone is encouraged to fund it and see it soon in stores.
