The Importance of Learning Photography Composition
The theme of the composition seems fundamental to me and what I have interest in learning more and more difficult I think. I think a well exposed picture and well treated, it can not work without a good composition. The more I study the issue more clear what I have. And I’m not talking about rules that you must fulfill, because the rules are to skip if the message to be transmitted as required.
I mean people, his mind unconsciously read the image one way (up and down / left. To right, closing forms, completing sequences …) and the photographer should help the viewer to your eyes flow naturally (with lines of flight, distribution of light / shadow, light-colored / dark, depth of field given negative spaces, distribution of objects / subjects, etc.). and stay touring the image without removing it, long enough for you to get the message that the photographer trying to convey.
However, another option is that the photographer try to direct the viewer in a “forced”, ie in the opposite or different that it would be natural, when you need to convey your message. For example (a classic), a horizontal image of a person walking to the right, if the photographer wants to convey tension in the viewer, could leave a negative space to the subject’s back and just space in front of him, looking like strange and disturbing to be hit under the photo.
The “rule” would you have to make room for the subject to go, since its natural direction is towards the right and the mind tries to follow, but the intention of the photographer can impact the viewer and to do so, you have to jump that rule. And there are many examples like this.

The latent image
Digital photography is great, you take photos like hotcakes and if you mess up, you can always throw another photo, I have my computer full of images, many of them repeatedly with different exposures. When I go to take pictures, do not discriminate at all, and shooting everything that moves (or not)!
Unlike most people who are fond of photography, I never had a camera or as a child or teenager, and my interest is due more to a job that recreational or artistic. when you finally buy a camera I own, opt for a low-end digital SLRs. Then I was hooked, I go with her everywhere, my friends look bad when they see me coming with it. My partner often tells me not to fuck her, which only went out for coffee, but that’s not reason enough to choose to let it rest, since the purchase have not left almost no day without it.
The problem with such fotografitis attack is that as stated before, do not discriminate anything, any topic is good for a photo, if not better, I think I managed to delete it after all …
All this previous explanation comes, I have given an analog SLR camera … this I plug it in and see what I did wrong, I can not look at the photo shoot and if not well taken, take it again, this I have to load a cartridge of film every 24 exposures … I have to take the reels to reveal and when I get copies I can not expand to almost infinity for all the details that the current megapixel gets! if I did something wrong, until they give me copies in the store developer will not see it fail, in order to hit a lot of that today, I would not have a modern digital camera.
But I’m happy with that camera, I will spend many euros, and I will take a lot of trouble, but I think if you really want to learn to properly handle a camera, the analog method, is that more patience will teach me … and may go back in time and be the child that if they had a camera …

Technical Tutorial to get clones
How I get to do clones or make models levitating. All you need is a tripod and Photoshop.
Choose a setting, place the tripod and the model anywhere. Shoot. Move the model place and shoot again. It is very important that the camera does not move an inch.
There, now Photoshop.
Open the 2 images. Pick one. Select it (ctrl A) and copy (ctrl C).
Go to another image. Paste the above above this (ctrl V). Select the History Brush (on the toolbar). Paint on the location to display the clone.
If you do a lot of clones and they overlap, it is best to go down the opacity of each layer and go painting with the History Brush tuning on the figures.
This same technique is used to achieve something like this:
The girl is lying on two stools. First shot the scene with all the items and then take it off her and stools and reshoot.
I got 2 pictures. One with the girl, boy and stools and another only with the boy.
Copy the image that displays all the elements and hit just above the boy appears. Select the history brush and go erasing the stools while the bottom and recovered the boy’s legs. There.
Digital Photography
Digital photography is obtaining images using a pinhole camera, similar to analogue photography. However, as in the latter images are recorded on a photosensitive film and subsequently revealed by a chemical process in are captured by an electronic sensor that has multiple photosensitive units are stored and from there to another electronic element that is memory.
Digital photography has revolutionized the photographic medium, the images are more and more screens than paper, today millions of users share their images through social networks like Facebook and other specialized web sites like Flickr, which allow you to store, sort, search and share photos online.
The cost, compared to the similar system for printed photo is smaller. This can be done considering that multiple takes and choose and print only the best shots.

First, it is advisable not to leave the camera on the sand, but that we save in a proper case, that is removed from the arena and out of contact with the sun, which is not exactly highly recommended.

Another advice is recommended not to let the camera to the sun, even when stored in a bag, because inside can reach very high temperature, which is not exactly highly recommended for the camera.
