High speed photography is the science of taking pictures of very fast phenomena. In 1948, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) defined high-speed photography as any set of photographs captured by a camera capable of 128 frames per second or greater, and of at least three consecutive frames. High speed photography can be considered to be the opposite of time-lapse photography.

"Tilt-shift" actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF), and hence the part of an image that appears sharp; it makes use of the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to change the line of sight while avoiding the convergence of parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings.

Since the first film was shot and developed, black and white has been

a favorite choice among master photographers around the globe.

Why is it that this medium is preferred by so many fine artists and masters of the trade?
• It's classic and elegant, even romantic and special.
• When learning photography, the simplicity of black and white helps you focus on the important stuff.
• You can often turn a drab color shot into an amazing black and white.
