Following on from the theme of photographic collaboration that Corwin Hiebert explored in Your Creative Mix I came across an interesting personal project undertaken by two local photographers in Auckland. Jocelen Janon and Bryan Lowe spent several months photographing the rehearsals and opening show of a group of vaudeville performers.

Exposure and Understanding the Histogram is a new ebook that I’ve written for Peachpit. As you can no doubt tell from the title, it looks into the somewhat tricky topics of exposure and the histogram. The ebook is aimed at photographers who would like a deeper understanding about how their camera’s sensor reacts to light, and an explanation of how to use the histograms generated by the camera to judge the exposure accuracy.

The 35mm format presents a unique challenge when it comes to composition – filling the frame. Let me explain what I mean. Photos taken with 35mm cameras, both full-frame and crop-sensor, have an aspect ratio of 3:2. This figure compares the ratio between the photo’s width and height (width:height – width always comes first). It means the frame is one and a half times as wide as it is high. If you turn the camera on its side, the aspect ratio becomes 2:3.
