Refraction photography

Refraction

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one substance to another. Here, the light ray passes from air to glass and back to air. The bending is caused by the differences in density between the two substances.

Focus Stack

1. Focus stacking is a powerful technique for extending a photo's apparent depth of field. It's perhaps most useful in close-up and macro photography, since the camera lens's highest f-stop is often insufficient to render everything in focus.

Bokeh Photography

According to what I have researched, in photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produces in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens.

I learned how to achieve better bokeh such as

• Adjusting the depth of field
• low aperture value - short depth-of-field
• shorter the focal length - greater the depth-of-field
• longer distance between the lens and the focal point - greater depth-of-field
• Choosing the proper lens
• Creating custom bokeh
• Relating the foreground to the background

So here are some of my shots using bokeh photography

Raw vs JPEG

Raw File

• uncompressed and unprocessed shots that come out looking flat and dark
• preserves information/data from the camera
• raw gives you more control (sharpness & contrast)
• it needs to be viewed using your camera's software (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom...etc)
• not suitable for printing without post processing
• It has 4096 levels of brightness
• exception - weddings

JPEG

• most common or known as the "user friendly"
• file size is much smaller than raw
• standard format
• compressed and processed by the camera
