Adobe's New Tool for Colour Grading

Adobe posted a video to their YouTube channel, and in this video they gave us a sneak peak of their new features to colour grade your photos for Lightroom, Lightroom classic and Lightroom acr. 

In this above video they tell us about their new advance colour grading features for Lightroom. 

You will see a new option called Colour Grading and you won't find a split tone option there. 

As you can see in the screen shot above there is 3 Colour Wheel instead of 2. They added a new wheel for Mid Tone along with the shadow and highlight. So now you can also control midtown.

There is also few wheel selector. So you can select the colour grading wheel individually which one you want to change, like Shadow , Highlight or the Mid Tone. Now there is also an another wheel selector and that is the global selector.

As you can see here. And they also added the luminance for this wheel. I think this wheel control all the three tone ( shadow, highlight and mid tone ) at the same time.  

They also added a blending option for all the colour wheel. At the time of colour grading now you also can change the blending option, so the colour will blend with the subject naturally. 

With this Blending you can control your hue saturation for your photo more utterly. 

They are going to say about this feature completely in Adobe Max Creativity from 20 to 22 October along with some other features.

What is Landscape Photography

Landscape photography meaning

In photography there are many category, and one of the popular category are Landscape Photography. So, what is this landscape photography? Maybe you know the meaning of landscape photography by the name of it. You already know the meaning of land ( the part maybe currently where you are standing right now ) , scape which is basically the view point or the scenery, actually the word scape used as a combined word with City, Land or Sea. 

So in simple word when you find a scenery or a view point of earth like Mountain, horizon of a forest, like forest lake during sunset, like roads through jungle, falling sunrays on mountain top, and others,  just think a view of earth and you try to capture it, that is what called Landscape Photography. As an example you can see the photo above, I capture the falling sun rays on the trees with blue sky and dark foreground. And a lonely tree. 

Orientation

There are two type of orientation in photography, one is portrait ( when the height is taller then width ) and another is Landscape ( when the width is longer than height ). So, what will be the best orientation for landscape photography? Well you can shoot Landscape photography in both the orientation, in landscape or in portrait. Don't mix the landscape orientation with the landscape photography just because the name is same. It also goes for portrait orientation and portrait photo, they both are different terms. Portrait photography and portrait view ( orientation ) is totally a different thing. You can shoot whatever orientation you want for your landscape photography. You also take a photo in landscape view then you can crop it to a portrait view. Take the shot try to experiment which will look better.

What type of lens do you need for landscape photography

Maybe you saw a lot of landscape photos and you asked yourself what type of lens they are using for the photo. Well in general a wide angle lens is used to take photo, which will cover a lot of area from a very close distance. Remember, when you take your group shot using your phone which used a wide angle lens, it is same for landscape photography, to cover a big area use a wide angle. But what happened sometimes maybe you want to shoot a scenery but you can't reach to that point to take the shot. Maybe because it's too far from you, or maybe there's water between you and your subject or scenery. So, at that time you need to use a zoom lens or telephoto lens to and take the shot. It will also helps you remove unwanted objects from the side and also you can maintain your composition, also you will get nice details. Also, if you have high resolution camera then you can take a wide shot and crop the image. At the end, use any lens and experiment with it and see in which angle, or lens the photo will look much better than others and take the shot. 

What device you should used 

Most of the time photographers are using a wide angle for landscape photo, to cover the maximum view that they are looking. And as you know smartphone already have a wide angle as main shooter, so you can use a phone to take landscape shot, and also you will get a decent amount of details. But if you want more reach, more details than probably you need an actual camera for taking landscape shot and also a good quality glass ( lens ) to get the most details and sharpness that the camera can handle. Also a high Mega pixel device will better here. So when you try to crop the image you will still get some nice decent amount of details, and you can compose you shot in post processing. 

How you can be a Landscape photographer

If you want to be a Landscape photographer, then you can. There's no special criteria to fill or need in this field. What you need is a camera or device with which you can take photos, basic knowledge in photography, and little skill to see the views and capture it with your device. 

In conclusion landscape photography is a kind of art, where the photographer connect him/her self with the nature and capture the views. Also, you need to find the location or the views, you need to find the composition, you need to chose what angle or which mm lens you have to use, also you have to be in that location before time, so you can get the perfect shot your looking for.

Does Digital Camera Take Only Still Photos

Digital camera

First lets talk a little about the digital camera. A digital camera can take still images or photos as a Film camera can take. The process is the same in both type of cameras, light go through the lens and hit the sensor or the film, press the shutter button and it will capture the image. Now the main difference or the only difference is that Digital cameras has a digital sensor instead of a Film, it means digital camera store the images in a digital form not as a physical thing like the film which you have to develop later. But the digital images is ready to share after the second you take the shot. 

It store your photos in a digital form as a binary data in simple an electronic memory in your computer or your mobile's memory . So, you can access those data as a photo which you capture before any time, any where in the world. You can share your photos on social media or to your friends or Family after the second you take your shot. Whereas with the film camera you capture the view on the film, then you take those films and develop them as a physical form which is a long time process. 

The first digital camera was invented in 1975 by a kodak engineer name Steve Sasson. The size of this camera is big. And it's weight is about 3.6 kg almost 8 pounds ( 7.937 pounds). It has an early CCD sensor from Fairchild and the resolution of the sensor was 0.01 Mega pixels ( 100 × 100 pixels). It store the images in a Cassette Tape and it take 23 second to store the images. It is obvious cause it is the first digital camera or the prototype of the digital cameras. 

After the first ever digital camera in 1975 now a days the digital cameras are everywhere in the world. No matter where in the world you are, you will definitely see a digital camera. Maybe in your hand, where your are currently reading this article, means your smartphone or your laptop. Yes your laptop and your smartphone has a camera. And yes that's a digital camera. You already know it don't need Film to store your images it means a digital camera. 

Digital camera uses a digital electronic sensor. And the resolution measure there as a pixel. So, the more pixel a sensor have the more resolution you will get. Now a days this digital image sensor getting advance every year. Manufacturer added more pixel in digital sensors. Even you can control those resolution by the device. So you will get different type of resolution from a digital camera. As an example Sony alpha 7r iv (A7r iv) uses a 61mega pixel full frame image sensor, where the new sony alpha 7s iii ( A7s iii) uses only 12 mega pixel image sensor same as your smartphone camera. But a smartphone uses a tiny sensor, where professional camera uses a big sensor where the individual pixel is bigger then smartphone's pixel. And you will get way better images from an camera than your smartphone. So, digital camera's image does not has low resolution. 

Does digital camera take only still images ?

The answer of this question is No, it not only take still images but also videos. And the proof is in your hand, I already told you before, that smartphone has a digital camera, and you already take videos with your phone, right? Not only smartphone but also the professional cameras, Mirrorless or even DSLR (  which stand for Digital Single Lens Reflect ) and you probably see, taking videos with DSLR in wedding, party and maybe other events. But how it actually take videos that's another part. 

So, now a days digital cameras getting better and better every day. It not only take still images and videos there are many other features added to them. And with those feature you can shoot almost anything. 

The main benefits of the digital camera is, it store your photo as a digital image in your electronic memory. So, you can share you photo instant, you can create as many copy as you want in few second, now a days even you can edit them as you want.
