Composition Theory – What is Dynamic Symmetry?

FOTO FORUM Camera Video, Foto Forum AZ Posted on June 5, 2017 by JeffJune 5, 2017

Photography is its most basic element stems from Algebra, Chemistry and Optical Physics.  With digital photography we have kind of replaced Chemistry with Computer Science. Let’s face it, most of us are not fans of mathematics; and, many are shocked to learn how large a role math plays in photography.  Algebraic elements are at the core root to photography. Reverting to film base we know that there are two types of film that exist – negative and positive.   The same applies to photographic paper.  Hence we print negatives using negative paper (two negatives equal a positive). So it shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn … Continue reading →

Landscape Photography Tips

FOTO FORUM Camera Video, Foto Forum AZ Posted on January 10, 2016 by JeffJanuary 11, 2016

We’ve all experienced let down after we’ve gone on vacation or even for a Sunday drive in the country through a beautiful landscape, you stop at several “Kodak Moment” signs at a scenic overlook to create beautiful images; you get home and anxiously review your images only to be disappointed! You images have no dynamics, they are for lack of other words flat and boring! You think to your self, “how can this happen to me?” Believe it or not but our eyes have been trained to view everything horizontally or in a landscape orientation. We have television, cinema and … Continue reading →

Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Flickr, Pinterest, LinkedIn, or Google+, Social media remains flooded with millions of images. Getting yours to stand out in the crowd will take skill and strategy. One way to help boost your Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr & Tublr posts amidst everyone else’s is to create more dynamic images. Your images will have more visual impact by utilizing composition theory and elements to your advantage.  For instance, by simply adjusting your optics you can take advantage of your camera angle and create stronger, more impactful leading lines.

Some folks are calling the Canon EOS R7 “long in the tooth.” I say… nay. 😄📸�In 2026, the R7 is still an absolute APS-C powerhouse, and honestly, it’s in a league of its own for the shooters who need speed, reach, and reliability without hauling a full-frame brick.And let’s be crystal clear: APS-C isn’t a handicap here, it’s an asset. That 1.6x crop turns your telephoto into a wildlife-and-sports cheat code 🦅🏟️ (without you having to sell a kidney for a 600mm).Why the R7 still turns heads:* 32.5MP APS-C resolution with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for fast, confident subject tracking * 15 fps mechanical / 30 fps electronic for action, birds, and “I blinked and missed it” moments * In-body stabilization up to 7 stops (with Coordinated IS on compatible lenses) for handheld wins 📷✨ * Video that raised eyebrows when it launched: 4K/60 10-bit, plus HDR PQ and C-Log 3, and Canon’s “4K Fine” mode that oversamples for extra detail 🎥🔥 * Built for real-world use: Canon describes it as dust- and drip-resistant (pair it with a similarly sealed lens, and you’re ready for the elements) 🌧️💪 It was announced May 24, 2022, with an estimated body-only price of $1,499, and it’s still one of the best value plays for wildlife shooters, sports journalists, and anyone who wants a camera that can keep up. Stop in at Foto Forum and let’s get the R7 in your hands—because this one isn’t “old”… it’s proven. 😎My friends, don’t forget to have a fantastically blessed day wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, and never stop being amazing.Remember:�Keep on creating.�The image you captured today,�Can change the world tomorrow.Remember:�Be kind to yourself and others.�Be amazing stewards on the trail.�And we have to ask, What are you waiting for? 'Get Out, Arizona!”�We will see you on the next adventure.www.youtube.com/@GetOutArizona#CanonR7 #WildlifePhotography #SportsPhotography #CanonRF #FotoForumPhoenix ... See MoreSee Less

The Nikon Z8 is the quintessential Nikon camera—full stop. 💪📸�Built like it’s ready for anything from a weekend soccer match to the roughest assignment a hardened photojournalist can throw at it… and it just grins like, “Is that all you got?” 😏Why the Z8 is such a legend (a true buy-once-cry-once camera for the ages):* 45.7MP full-frame stacked sensor + EXPEED 7 = insane detail and speed* Up to 120 fps bursts when you need to freeze the impossible 🏃‍♂️💥* Video? Oh it came to play: RAW up to 8.3K/60p and 4K/120p 🎥🔥* Released May 2023, and Nikon’s been keeping it fresh with major firmware upgrades—because this camera wasn’t built to be “hot for a month”… it was built to be relevant for years.* Whether you’re just starting out, a serious enthusiast, or a working pro who treats gear like it owes you money, the Z8 is for you. Come by Foto Forum and put your hands on the camera that can do it all. 🙌My friends, don’t forget to have a fantastically blessed day wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, and never stop being amazing.Remember:�Keep on creating.�The image you captured today,�Can change the world tomorrow.Remember:�Be kind to yourself and others.�Be amazing stewards on the trail.�And we have to ask, What are you waiting for?
