The source of energy we use in Toksook Bay. We have 3 wind mills in our village and it save alot of people the electric bill. They are really cool and really big. I think that we also share them with the other surrounding villages. Like Tununak the village on the other side of the hill from us and Nighmute the village across the bay from our village. When they were in the process of putting the windmills up my friends and I went up there and carved our names on one of the propellers it was a lot of fun....

The 20 geese that my dad shot on Sunday wow. Yumm Yumm. But I hate plucking them it takes to long and there are lots of bugs. But I love to eat them they are really good in soups and roasted yumm my mouth is watering. lol I know what you thinking why did he get 20. In the Yupik way we have to share the catch give some away to the elders. We also save some for the winter.
Here is the main road in Toksook Bay Alaska. Everyone uses it all the time. I choose this photo because it is part Toksook Bay, my home town. You could see the hills and little streams of water going to the beach. Toksook is a beautiful place.

Macro Photography

Macro Photography
Macro is taking photos close. the classical definition is digital sensor Most 35mm format macro lenses achieve at least 1:2, that is to say, the image on the film is 1/2 the size of the object being photographed. You take pictures of little things its to see what it really looks like.

Definition

Macro photography is taking very close-up pictures of subjects. The definition would be to take an image at a 1:1 ratio but, in general usage, the term has come to mean any close-up photography.

MOVE IN ON TINY AREA OF SUBJECT

  1. Choose a medium camera (about 90-180mm) macro lens. A comfortable working distance. Gives you the necessary room for lighting and other objects for close-up photography. Get yourself a sturdy tripod to get ride of the camera shake in close-up photsography. Make sure you have a good place to take the picture. Try not to cast your own or the camera's shadow on the subjects.


Take Your Shot

Once you have it lined up and in focus take your picture. Make sure once you’ve taken the photo to take a good look at it on your LCD, zooming in to make sure that your focusing is sharp. Try shooting at slightly different apertures, with different compositions and focusing on different points of your subject to see what works best.

Photo Tip: Macro Photography Tools

"Macro photography" is another name for "close-up photography." The closer you can focus on your subject the larger it will appear in the frame but you have to have a good focus that could get close to the object. Point to macro photography -- to magnify small objects. Some purists insist that the term macro be reserved for images that are at least life-sized in the film -- an object 1" long must record an image 1" long or longer in the film to count as macro to these folks.

Tips

Macro Photography is what get you the magnified, larger then life photos. When you enlarge them like most all photos they become bigger then real life. Perhaps this is where our fascination for macro photography comes from, the ability to change our every-day, ordinary world into an extraordinary one by the simple act of switching lenses.

Digital Camera Macro Mode

The macro mode this button has to be pressed several times until the flower icon appears on the viewing LCD. A number of digital cameras then subsequently by design shift into a particular precinct on the zoom lens making a mechanical sound as the zoom reset. It is really hard to zoom into the object. Don't be fast take your time and take the best picture you can. As the subject comes in focus the depth-of-field also increases.

Macro Photography

Exploring the world of miniature objects with a macro lens is a special and exciting area of photography, and once you start, you will quickly become addicted. The world of macro photography holds many delights and is an area that cannot be appreciated with the human eye.

Macro photography is the name given to close-up photography, and is best explained as images that are taken at reproduction ratios of life-size and above. Ratios of between 1:7 and 1:1 fall into the macro photography category.

Calibex

They talk about how much the lens casts and what kind of camera to put it on. How to but it in and how good the lens is. The better the lens the closer you could get to the object and not to close lol

what is macro?

A macro is a set of tasks combined together so that you can run or replay the entire task together with a single command. Macros are a powerful productivity tool. With macros you can perform long or boring tasks just by a single click.

tip on sport photos


Use the right tools

If you are still shooting with a film camera, use high speed film, and carry extra rolls. If you are shooting with a digital camera, see if the camera will allow you to choose a fast shutter speed and/or high ISO setting. If you are using a digital camera, make sure you have enough memory space or extra memory modules for all the shots you'll want to take, and enough battery life to cover the warm-ups, the game, AND the victory celebration. (See Shoot, shoot, shoot below.) Don't be worried about how many pictures you are taking.


travel photography

Its good to plan on how you are going to take the pictures, that will really make a difference in the photo. Don't forget to bring some extra batteries and memory. Take more then one photo of the samething. That way you want miss anything and you don't have worry about eyes being closed.

Wedding Photography Tips

tell them that you are going to take pictures of them and try not to do the flash that will distrace people. Put your camera on high ISO so the photo will look good with out the flash.
Try taking lots of photos its better to take lots of pictures and pick out the good ones.

beach photos
Look for natural frames for beach photos, such as a rocky outcropping or a leaning palm tree. and use the rule of thirds to. You are looking for something that naturally places a frame around the target of your picture, the beach.

Digital Cameras 101

Understand what the salespeople are talking about when they drop these digital camera terms with this glossary. Look for a fast no delay so you could take more faster photos.

Seven ways to the perfict family photo

perfect family photo
1) Get a Grip, hold the camera tight, stay steady by tucking in your elbows and keeping your feet somewhat apart and watch out of your fingers keep them away from the lens.
2)Compose yourself, don't just point and shoot take some time to arrange the people. Then frame your picture carefully. Put your subject to one side, rather than bang in the middle, as this will add impact.
3)Another point of view, when you are taking pictures of kids and pets you should get down to where they are. They are small enough so don't let them be smaller in a picture.
4)Light it or not, Natural light is almost better then the flash on your camera. Try to put the object by the window and let them face it. Better to take them outside. When you need to use it, remember that the built-in flash on your camera will only work to a distance of about 4-5m away.
5)Sharpen up, use the autofocus one your camera to get a good picture.
6)Candid camera, sometimes when you are taking pictures of people it looks better if the people are not looking, because they will pose and it wouldn't look good.
7)Don't stop, the joy of digital photography is that you can take as many pictures as you like. The more you take, the more likely you are to shoot pictures that everyone will love.

rick lee's advice

photo advice
He says when using a digital camera take lots of pictures of the same thing but use different angles. Try different backgrounds, and that will help you get a better picture and you could choose the best picture. There are lots of backgrounds don't just take one picture take as many as you can. Don't just use one angle try everything have fun with it.

Top Ten Tips

Kodak Top Ten Tips
1.)Get down on their level, when you are talking photos of kids and animals you should get down to their level at eye level.
2.)Use a plain background, before taking the photo check what is behind the object. A cluttered area is distracting and a plain background you could see the object better.
3.)Use flash outdoors, when using the flash in the bright sun it will lighten the shadows of the object.
4.)Move in Close, when your are taking photos of small object like flowers you should get really close to the object so there is no background distracting.
5.)Take some vertical Pictures, it looks better if your take vertical pictures like if your were taking a photo of a tower you wouldn't want to take it horizontal because it wouldn't show the whole object.
6.)Lock the focus, when your are taking a picture of an object that is not in the middle you should push down the shudder button half way and re-frame your picture still holding down the shutter button and then when its in good focus push it down all the way.
7.)Move it from the middle, to bring your photos to life move it way from the center.
8.)know your flash's range, if your object is to far from the camera's flash it will be dark, so don't get to far from the object.
9.)Watch the light, make sure your have good light when taking pictures of people.
10.) Be a pictures director, arrange your objects the way you like it don't just take any picture try to take a good photo.

This is a photo with high ISO. This is a picture with out that ISO could you see
difference?
You could see that it is brighter
the other one is dark. The best time
to use high ISO is when your in a dark room
and at weddings so you don't have that big
flash to disturb the players or the people in the
wedding.

This is another photo with a good border
you could see the clouds.











This is a photo of my sister Emily, it is a good example of "Framing your Shots" because it has a frame border. She is in the middle of the photo and there is a border around her.

This is a good example of "Rule of Thirds" she is not in the middle of the picture. She is in one third of the photo. The "Rule of Thirds" is the object should be in one third of the picture on the right or left.

This photo is great in black and white. It looks old fashion. Father and son, it wouldn't look as good in color because his face had a little glare and in black and white you cant see it.
This is a good photo in black and white because it is a reflection photo and you could see her reflection better. If it were in color you could see the reflection but not as good if it were in black and white.
