What is photograph blur?

Blur in a photograph can be good or bad, depending on whether it's there on purpose or not.

Usually, a photograph is blurred when either the photographer or the subject moves while the camera is still recording the picture.

If the photographer moves (sometimes the camera moves slightly when you press the shutter release button), the blur that results is said to be from "camera shake." Modern cameras have some form of image stabilization to counteract camera shake and therefore reduce or eliminate blur.

If the subject is moving, the only way to freeze that motion is by using a fast enough shutter speed. A shutter speed of 1/125 sec. may be enough to capture a child running around but you may need a shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. to freeze the motion of a race car.

However, blur can also be good and photographers will use a shallow depth of field to introduce blur into their pictures. Why? To isolate the main subject from a distracting background. This technique is very effective when taking portraits.

What colleges have underwater photography?

I don't know a lot of colleges that offer underwater photography, but a few colleges that sound good are: Florida Key Community College (FKCC) takes the students through different training areas starting off in a pool then moving to lagoons and then finally taken out to sea to take pictures of real reefs and marine life. They also help know what kind of camera and equipment you need. And, help you start and publish your pictures in your portfolio.

Also, PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) would really help you get started in underwater photography. They offer diving lessons along with photography lessons. And help you get the right scuba gear and cameras you need.

Both of these colleges help you get started on your journey to becoming a great underwater photographer. And, helps you become the best you can to go as far in life as possible in this field.

How did photography affect America?

This is actually a topic for a book rather than a question. However, I'll give you a summary.

1) Photos enabled middle-class people (people who might not be able to afford a painted portrait) to have a realistic image of a loved one. People routinely took photos of relatives in their coffins, to have a last memento. Soldiers took photos into battle, while wives kept photos of their soldier-husbands at home to show to the children. Photos of children could also be sent to friends or relatives, to help strengthen family ties and bonds of affection.

2) The occupation of photographer opened a new career field and a new art-form for both men and women.

3) During the Civil War, photos of battlefields for the first time showed civilians the horrors of war, without the romanticism of drawings (although some of the photos may have been staged.) Photography (and, later, video) have continued to document the horrors of war and natural disasters.

4) Similarly, photos introduced middle-class and upper-class Americans to the squalid living conditions in the tenements. (See the book How the Other Half Lives by Riis) and, later, to the conditions of the Dust Bowl and the poverty of the Great Depression. Photos of the actual plight of the poor encouraged many Americans to want change.

5) Photos in medical books enabled doctors to see real "pictures" of rare or unusual diseases rather than just drawings or paintings.

6) While many of the line-drawings and etchings of the 19th century were VERY detailed, photos in catalogs and magazines showed people what the wagon, dress, sewing machine, or stove that they were buying REALLY looked like. Photos might also help the person sew a dress or assemble their new agricultural implement.

7) Postcards and snapshots helped people remember important events in life: a trip to a fair, a wedding, or just having fun with friends. Albums and picture frames were produced to house these photos.

8) Photos may have helped make America feel more like one country. People could see a New England farmstead or a southern bayou. They could see the White House and the President, or the Grand Canyon.

9) Photos (especially stereoscope views) educated people about other countries as well. At a time when travel was a long and difficult endeavor, middle-class people could see castles in Germany, a Chinese lady, or a village in Italy through the 3-d images of the stereoscope.

11) Comic photos (stereoscope views and magic lanterns) were an early form of entertainment, eventually leading up to the motion picture. Some people traveled around with magic lantern shows as a business. Middle-class people might have a stereoscope at home, where the children could see comic or educational views. Of course "View-Masters" - a form of stereoscope, were popular even when I was a child!

12) Eventually, photography and early motion pictures helped doctors, scientists, and artists study how the body moved. Rather than a horse galloping with its legs outstretched, people learned exactly how a horse's hooves touch the ground during the different gaits. Early photos and movies showed how a human jumps and dances.

13) Last but not least, photos became important in identifying people, especially criminals and those found deceased (so that relatives might be able to recognize them). Photos can document a crime scene as well.

Again, there are probably many other effects on society: the different industries that developed, especially with the introduction of the Brownie Camera, and the way people now rely on images for identification and as mementos, as well as for art. It's hard to imagine life without photography.

What is the difference between maximum depth of field and shallow depth of field on a camera?

Depth of field in photography is 3-dimensional and is measured from the foreground moving along a horizontal plane towards the background. Maximum depth-of-field means most of the scene is in focus and shallow depth-of-field means the minimum is in focus. Shallow depth-of-field lets you lose the background into a nice blur leaving the foreground in focus - good for portrait photography. In landscape photography you would normally choose the maximum depth-of-field so that distant hills were in focus as well as the middle ground and the foreground - in other words, everything in the field of your vision would be sharply focussed.

Why is it important for people to avoid electric shocks?
