DONGCHUAN also the famous "mudslides museum", here early because of large-scale copper mining unscientific, coupled with factors affecting the climate, topography, etc., forming a large-scale mudslide-prone area, landslides are quite typical.

What Is Photography

The word photography is derived from the Greek φῶς phos (light) and γραφι graphis (painting, drawing) or γραφή graphê, along with the word meaning "drawing with light." Photography is the use of some kind of specialized equipment for image recording process, generally we use mechanical camera or digital camera photography. Sometimes also referred to as photographic camera, which is the light reflected by the object so that the exposure process of the photosensitive medium. Language has been said of the sentence brilliant: the ability of the photographer to the fleeting everyday ordinary things into a monumental visual images.



Photography is a traditional photography with the formation and development of technologies to produce photographic applied science, it photographic optical, photographic chemical and electronic technology-based, long-term practice in a unique shooting system.

Still Life Photography

Still life photography and people photography, landscape photography relative to inanimate (the inanimate is a relative concept, such as fish hauled from the sea, has cast off the fruits, etc.), or a combination of man-made freely movable objects for the performance object photography. Mostly manufactures industrial or handmade, naturally occurring inanimate objects, such as the theme for the shoot. In a true reflection of the inherent characteristics of the subject, based on the idea after idea, combined with the composition, lighting, tone, and color art photography means, subject to the performance of artistic beauty photography. This is called still life photography.



Still photography has vast world in terms of selection, after the selection is good material, it can be arbitrary handle these objects because the subject is inanimate, can be left to the mercy of the mobile multi-angle to achieve creative intent. Still photography has two advantages: First, it is to further deepen the process of visual art experience. When some very unusual object was made into a fascinating picture, in fact, is to observe the process of in-depth study of these objects. Secondly, the shooting still life photography can get more practical knowledge. For photographers, the still life photography difficulty is that it has a unique screen configuration. When the subject is a good layout, you must select the camera angle, to be creative in terms of light, and then to learn from still life photography to the actual photography knowledge, the basic principles to be applied to everyday photography.

Portrait Photography


Portrait photography and general photography different characters: portrait photography to portray the performance of the subject's specific looks and demeanor as their primary task creation, although some portrait photography also contains some of the plot, but it's still the performance of the illuminated appearance-based, and a considerable part of portrait photography only explain the subject's image, and no specific plot. The figures show an event photography is subject participation and activity-based, it is the main plot of the performance of a specific task, rather than a distinctive image to show the subject's appearance and demeanor. This important difference between the two is whether the specific character portrayed appearance. Whether it is a single person, or people, whether in the field or in the camera to capture the room shot put, regardless of whether the photo with the plot, as long as the subject is based on the performance of a specific person's appearance and mental state based all belong to the category of portrait photography. Those activities mainly character and plot, reflect a certain theme of life, the subject's appearance is not very prominent photography, whether it is close-Ye Hao, Ye Hao body, can only belong to the category of people photography. Of course, broadly speaking, portrait photography shoot people, it also belongs to people photography. Portrait photography to portray and depict the subject's appearance and demeanor as their performance task, should figure looks bright. It is divided into a studio portrait, indoor and outdoor specific environmental portraits portrait three categories. Portrait photography requirement is "Vivid."


Record photography


The reason why the birth of photography is to record purposes. Displayed after it was born out of great vitality, but also precisely because of its record. This is the other technology or art can not be compared or replaced. Thus, broadly speaking, photography is recording.


Artistic photography


With the development, people continue to increase in the photography art elements, began to produce art photography. It differs in that the number of recorded photographic and artistic level, without the absolute limit. For example: We went to take a picture ID or Liugejinian for general studio photographs, up to the value of a bit of information or records. However, Mr. Zheng Jingkang to shoot portraits, Mr. Qi, 50 years later, is still one of the world's twenty most outstanding pieces of portraits. The difference is entirely in the level of artistry. Art photography shoot out the effect is more beautiful, because it requires not only technical, but also identify the time taken, location and angle.


Pictorial photography


Pictorial photography for its beautiful screen design language and a better connotation portrait photography has been a major means of expression. After half a page of the nineteenth century, the British photographer Raylanda been shot out of the prophecy as "a new era of photography of the" work "of the two paths of life" in photography was also underestimated, painting its themes and painting style of composition of exhortation, by the high evaluation of Queen Victoria. It can be said that Raylanda helped to promote the development of photography art. Since then, the pictorial photography art photography has become an important genre.


Commercial Photography


Commercial photography, by definition refers to the photographic activities undertaken for commercial purposes. In a narrow sense is the commercial photography, in a broad sense is not published or writing it and other commodity types of photography, this type of activity in nowadays photography is extremely important one. This type of photography is for commercial interests exist, according to the business requirements of the shooting, more binding.


Ink Photography


And traditional ink as ink appeared on the market now photographs by subject matter, can be divided into landscapes, flowers, birds and mood, corresponding painting the landscape and bird; by the way, and mood, can be divided into abstract and figurative, corresponding painting the freehand and meticulous.


Ink-style photographs, although inevitably the use of post-processing software such as Photoshop, but it does not mean that any distortion of the original photo. Good ink photography as little as possible modification of the original photograph, it's more of a test of the photographer's ability to capture light and shadow and composition.


Holography


Holography is subject refers to a record of new photographic technology objects reflected wave amplitude and phase, and all other information. Ordinary photography is recording light intensity distribution of the object surface, it does not record the phase information of the object reflects light, thus losing the three-dimensional. Holography using laser as a light source, and light emitted from the light source into two beams, a bunch of directly at the photosensitive sheet, further beam reflected by the subject and then directed to the photosensitive sheet. Direct human eye to see this photosensitive film, as a fingerprint can only see the same interference fringes, but if it is irradiated with a laser to the human eye can see through the backsheet original object being photographed identical three-dimensional image. A holographic picture even if only a small part of the next, you can still reproduce the entire scene. Holography can be applied to many aspects of conduct nondestructive testing, ultrasonic holography, holographic microscopy, holographic memory, holographic film and television industry.
