Underwater Photography

I chose Underwater Photography to research. Underwater photography is particularly diffucult because of all of the equipment needed. It is also difficult to capture a good picture when your subject is marine life, as they are pretty unpredictable. Another difficult aspect of underwater photography is getting the exposure right. It takes a lot of technique to balance the sunlight and flash to get a good picture.

Photography Terms

I chose Wildlife Photography to research. Wildlife photography is just taking pictures of wild animals. It may sound easy but it is actually a very crafty hobby. Wild animals are very hard to approach, and it is therefore pretty difficult to get a good picture. It also helps to have a general knowledge of the animal you are taking pictures of so you can predict their actions.

Fire photography is the kind of photography where people take pictures of fire incidents in action. These kind of people are called fire photographers. As we all know, fire situations are very dangerous; so even these photographers need to have all the special skills and have all of the knowledge about emergency incidents. These people probably risk their life all the time with this kind of photography. But if it's something that they love to catch through the camera, then they probably don't care what kind of situation they're in.

High Speed Photography

High speed photography is taking a series of pictures very fast. The number of pictures usually taken is 128 frames per second or more. It has two general meanings. One meaning is that the photo is taken so that it freezes motion without blur. The second way is capturing many frames at a frame rate. The first thing that high speed photography was used for was by a scientist to figure out if all of a horse's feet were off the ground when they were galloping.
