North Carolina photographer | Oak Island, Southport, Coastal NC
Today’s motivation photograph was made while I was on a mission trip in the Dominican Republic. The light on the tree came from building were we held our daily worship service.
Try something different, like night photography with a slow shutter speed.
Meet Alex
Alex is another one of my “family group” members from the Dominican Republic mission trip. Baseball is the most popular sport in the Dominican Republic. Alex is a baseball player, so the sport ministry part of the mission trip was a great fit for him. But I think playing with the kids at Vacation Bible School in a small village under a huge mango tree had largest affect on him. God is awesome!
Thanks Alex for being this Friday’s Friend.
This week’s photography word is:
JPEG – Joint Photographic Experts Group is the most commonly used image format. It is universally compatible with internet browsers, viewers, and image editing software. JPEG allows images to be compressed by 10 to 20 percent with very little loss of image quality.
On a side note, when photographing with a DSLR camera the images viewed on the camera’s LCD is a JPEG image, even if shooting in RAW.
Meet Bailey
Not only is Bailey a member of my “family group” for the Dominican Republic mission trip, she is also a student leader on the trip. So she has a few extra jobs to do while on the trip and one of them is to help me keep the other members of my group focused, this can be a difficult task because we are all easily distracted.
This week’s photography word is:
TIFF – Tagged Image File Format is a universal image format that is compatible with most imaging programs. TIFF can be compressed without the lose of information; combine the lossless compression with the multi-layer CYMK (look for a description of CYMK on a later post) support and it make TIFF the popular choice for many printing and publishing companies.
