This would be reserved for night shots such as concerts and came with an anticipated level of graininess.

Flash memory cards are nearly impervious to moisture, temperature (-13☏ to 185☏), and airport X-ray machines.įilm sensitivity (speed), or ISO, was basically limited to 800.

The digital SLR, or DSLR, is identical in operation but the film has been replaced with an electronic sensor.įor comparison, this SanDisk 128GB SD card can hold 15 times as many images (at 3x the resolution) as three rolls of 36-exposure film. Press the shutter, the mirror flips up, shutter iris opens, and the film receives light flowing through the lens. As an FYI, the pentaprism is used to correct the image inversion caused by the lens. By allowing the path of light to flow through the lens, reflect off a “reflex” mirror up to a pentaprism, and then through the viewfinder, the photographer viewed the exact image that would be presented to the film. The Single Lens Reflex camera (SLR) was a monumental development over previous twin-lens reflex (TLR) and rangefinder designs. In this Viewfinder we’ll start with some camera basics, move on to glass (lenses), discuss settings and outdoor photography lens selection, and wrap it up with incorporating some of our newfound knowledge in creating a single image. And while I have always maintained it is the eye behind the viewfinder that creates compelling photographs, I would be remiss to omit the fact that taking your photography to the next level requires high-quality hardware.

In previous Viewfinders we’ve discussed what I feel are the most important elements of creative photography: distilling a scene into its various components, how to frame a unique composition of those elements, working with light, camera settings, and methodology. Compression, f-stop, and bokeh: what does it all mean, and how can your outdoor photography lenses accomplish it?
