file formats

JPEG- is smaller file size because of the compressed image detail/quality.

HEIF- are smaller than JPEGs yet offer similar or even increased quality.

TIFF -are they are usually uncompressed and take up a lot of space, but they are a lot clearer.

RAW- Stores all info originally captured by the camera, it is similar to TIFFs, but it cannot be displayed on browsers, you’ll need a special processing software.

DNG conversion does add another step in your post-processing workflow

PNG -they are compressed resulting in the loss of detail for viewing and editing, but don’t require much space even for the higher quality ones.

GIF -they have little image quality but are mainly made for small animations.

BMP-is another lossless file format it was invented by initially for use on the Windows platform

PSD- is flattened This essentially merges all of the layers and it is mainly used for saved photoshop files and projects and open the app.

 

 

lenses

  • fisheye lenses give a 180* field of view to telephoto lenses up to 800mm
  • there are zooms, primes, macro lenses and tilt shift lenses
  • wide angle lenses give an expansive view when it is used correctly
  • standard lenses are great walkaround lenses they are versatile allows you to so wide-angle landscape shooting.

  • Fast lens usually one that has an aperture of f/4 f/2.8 or larger
  • Prime lens force you to think about composition and point of view because it cannot zoom
  • Standard zooms tend to cover moderate wide angle focal lengths all the way down to a medium telephoto
  • Standard zooms start at 24mm, 35mm, 70mm, 105mm
  • Wide angles are also handy in tight area, small rooms, cars, caves they create volume and expansiveness in a limited space
