Phocabulary
Color Contrast
The perceived brightness differences due to the relationship of adjacent colors rather than to their value. When yellow is adjacent to blue it usually appears brighter, even if the luminance of the two is the same.

Tech Briefs
Canon announces the update to their flagship DSLR: the new EOS-1D X Mark II. The 1D X Mark II features an increase in resolution to 20 megapixels. Although the native ISO stays the same at 100-51,200, the expanded range ups to 409,600.
The Mark II features new, dual Digic 6+ processors that allow for processing 14 raw or JPEG frames per second (and up to 16 in Live View). Helping these high frame rates is a shutter with carbon fiber blades that is built to withstand 400,000 exposures. These processors put out 4K video clips at 60 frames per second until you fill up your card. Wow. This capability is due to the CFast 2.0 card slot in the Mark II. Shooting at full speed, the buffer will allow recording of up to 170 raw frames on CFast 2.0 cards or 73 frames on a CF card. There is also continuous autofocus while shooting stills and video, regardless of the frame rate. A 360,000-pixel metering sensor helps with subject recognition and tracking across the 61-point High Density Reticular AF II system with 41 cross-type points.
Canon's new in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer technology, allows for in-body lens aberration and diffraction correction for every shot, saving you one more step in post. The 1D X Mark II is weather sealed, even at its connection points. And incase you’re into this, the GPS functionality is built-in, and includes an auto time-syncing feature that syncs with Universal Time Code via satellites.
The EOS-1D X Mark II will be available for $5,999 and ships in April.

January 26, 2016 We're Getting Better - Episode 034: Ashleigh Bing
In this episode, we talk to natural light photographer Ashleigh Bing about learning from each other, community over competition, and capturing milestones. ShootHappensPhotography.com instagram.com/aambing Website: www.BryonSummers.com Instagram.com/BryonSummers Phocabulary: Ambient Light The available, or existing, the light that naturally surrounds a scene. Source: Creative Lighting: Digital Photography Tips and Techniques by Harold Davis - Tech Brief Good and bad news… The Good news: Film is still around. The Bad news: The price is going up. If you shoot film, specifically Fujifilm, the US price will be increasing by 10% as early as this month. The price increase, although it sucks, is understandable due to the decline in demand for the analog method. You’ll see prices increase across the board on color negative, color reversal, black and white, and QuickSnap disposable cameras. A suggestion for all my film shooters, if you’re not already doing this - if you still want to shoot film, invest in a film scanner or find a place or equipment to develop yourself.
Suggested developing materials: Photoflex Changing Room, Light Tight Film Changing Tent.

Phocabulary: Reflex A reflex camera is one that utilizes a mirror system to reflect the light (the image) coming through the lens, to a visible screen. The image seen in the camera's viewfinder is the same image that strikes the camera's imaging sensor (or filmplane). This system provides the most accurate framing and focusing. The reflex system avoids the parallax problem that plagues most direct view cameras. Reflex cameras are also called SLRs, or DSLRs. Source: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/Product_Resources/digital_glossary.jsp Tech Brief This week in Tech Briefs, Fujifilm releases the flagship model X-Pro2 compact system camera. The X-Pro2 is a mirrorless camera with the option for interchangeable lenses. The camera has a 24megapixel X-Trans CMOS III sensor, ISO sensitivity up to 51,200, and a hybrid multi viewfinder. Compressed Raw is also available, which a first for the X-series. The new focal plane shutter maxes out at 1/8000 sec and flash sync up to 1/250 sec. The camera supports dual SD memory cards all housed in a weather-resistant body. The X-Pro2 retails at $1700 (body only)

Website: www.BryonSummers.com Instagram.com/BryonSummers Phocabulary: Histogram The histogram is a graph showing the number of pixels in a digital image from darkest to lightest. A luminosity histogram reflects tonality; single-channel histograms indicate the number of pixels of a given color at each tone from darkest to lightest. Source: 30-Second Photography - Tech Brief Nikon’s not playing around. The new D5 DSLR scheduled to drop in March was previewed at CES with a gang of specs that’ll leave you drooling. The full-frame camera has a 20.8 megapixel CMOS sensor, a native ISO range from 100 - 102,400, and extended ISO settings of 50 to (you ready for this?) 3,280,000! Crazy! It also totes 153 autofocus points and 99 cross sensors with continuous shooting at 12 frames per second. The D5 boasts a 3.2 inch, 2.36 million-dot touchscreen LCD, dual memory card slots that will either hold XQD or CF cards and a USB 3.0 connection If that’s not enough, it’s the first Nikon DSLR to include 4k video recording. Still interested? Well, you can pre-order yours now for $6,500. Body only of course.

Phocabulary: Rangefinder Camera A rangefinder camera gets its name from the rangefinder focusing system built-in (or on much older cameras, attached to the hot shoe as an accessory. The system is typically a split-image rangefinder: a range-finding focusing mechanism allowing the photographer to measure the subject's distance and take sharp photographs. Most varieties of rangefinder cameras show two images of the same subject, one of which moves when a calibrated wheel, usually on the lens is turned; when the two images coincide and become one your image is in focus. The distance can be read off the wheel or lens in feet as well as meters. Older, non-coupled rangefinder cameras display the focusing distance and require the photographer to transfer the value to the lens focus ring; cameras without built-in rangefinders could have an external rangefinder fitted into the accessory shoe. Earlier cameras of this type had separate viewfinder and rangefinder windows; later the rangefinder was incorporated into the viewfinder. Tech Brief The rumored Fuji X-Pro2 has leaked online with detailed specs.

Phocabulary: Aberration A distortion of image quality or color rendition in a photographic image caused by optical limitations of the lens used to capture the image. Aberrations commonly show up in the form of halation around contrasty portions of the image or “smearing” of color toward the edges of the frame. Aspheric lens surfaces and advanced lens coatings are often used in more expensive or complex lenses as a means of reducing aberrations. Source: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/buying-guide/glossary-digital-photography-terms Book The War of Art Steven Pressfield The hardest thing for some of us to do is start. The War of Art talks about how to avoid creative roadblocks whether you’re a writer, painter, or photographer. Pressfield identifies the enemy we must face, outlines a plan to battle it, and pinpoints how to achieve success. I’ve been hearing a lot about this book. Actually thumbed through it at Barnes & Noble recently. Guess I’ll be going back to pick up.

Phocabulary: Street Photography Popularized by photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lee Friedlander, and Garry Winograd, street photography looks to the terrain of the urban landscape. Defined by the energy and chaos found in urban cultures, it came into prominence in the 1930s with the emergence of small-format cameras, which allowed photographers to shoot discreetly.

Phocabulary: Watermark Traditionally, a watermark is an image or icon that is embedded into paper for security purposes (American paper money has a watermark). In digital photography, a watermark refers to information that is embedded in the image data to protect the copyrights of the image. Metadata is data that describes other data. Meta is a prefix that in most information technology usages means "an underlying definition or description." Metadata summarizes basic information about data, which can make finding and work with particular instances of data easier. For example, camera/lens/exposure information, time/date/ are examples of very basic document metadata. Having the ability to filter through that metadata makes it much easier for someone to locate a specific document.

Phocabulary: Hard Light A direct source of light, not diffused. The sun is the hard light with which everyone is most familiar, but our experience of it is always somewhat diffused through the atmosphere surrounding the earth. The degree of diffusion changes dramatically with weather conditions. Hard light creates harsh contrast and crisp, hard-edged shadows.
