NEWS ROUND-UP
This week in brief, edited by Geof Harris
Get animating with PhotoMirage

PhotoMirage, a Windows program that animates a single photo to
create a GIF, WMV or MP4, has been released by Corel. Rather than
using AI, PhotoMirage places points over an image, which are then
animated – clouds in a landscape or water, for example (the
anchor points tell the software which pixels to leave still). The
software is compatible with raw images as well as JPEG and TIFF.
You can get a free trial of PhotoMirage at www.photomirage.io/en/
Nikon mirrorless countdown

As mentioned in last week’s AP, Nikon has revealed that it is
working on a new, full-frame mirrorless system. The company has
confirmed that the camera will employ a new lens mount, with an
adapter for F-mount SLR lenses in the pipeline, and that it’s still
committed to making DSLRs. There’s a live countdown to the
global launch on 23 August at http://bit.ly/nikoncountdown.

3 Be reasonable about what you can achieve

If you have an older camera, or a compact or bridge camera with a smaller
sensor, then you probably won’t have very good high ISO performance. You
will also struggle to compete with expensive professional cameras that will
cost many thousands of pounds. Bear this in mind, and don’t be too critical of your
pictures just because of noise. This will be generally less of an issue in your pictures
than obvious camera shake. Don’t be too self-critical. You might be able to zoom your
images to 100% on a large computer monitor and see every blemish, but unless you
print massive sized images, or crop to a tiny portion of the frame, it is very unlikely that
anyone else will ever see the images at such large magnifications.
4 Avoid Auto ISO

Many photographers avoid using
Auto ISO. If the shutter speed
drops below a certain preset, the
camera will increase the ISO to compensate.

5 Understanding
the numbers
ISO is essentially the same scale as the
old film ASA sensitivity scale – although
unlike film, the superior ISO performance of modern
digital cameras means that the numbers can be huge!
Each doubling or halving of the ISO scale represents a
doubling or halving of the amount of light needed to
correctly expose the picture – which is defined in
exposure terms as a stop. This increment is the same
as a doubling or halving of the shutter speed, and each
whole increment of aperture. This means that if you
increase the ISO by two stops, you can correspondingly
increase the shutter speed or aperture by the
same amount.
As the scale involves doubling of numbers it only takes
ten stops to get to six figures, but the difference between
ISO 56,200 and ISO 112,400 is the same as the
difference between ISO 100 and ISO 200.
Versatility of digital
6 Digital photography offers incredible

versatility. Not only can you increase the
ISO sensitivity to levels that were totally
impossible with film, you can usually do so
in increments of 1/3 stop and on a shot-by-shot basis,
depending on the subject and the lighting conditions.
You don’t have to make massive changes to the ISO:
sometimes just increasing it by a stop can be enough to
make a difference.

11 Use auto assist for focus

In low-light levels your camera can
struggle to focus. Many have a focus
assist light to help, to ensure your shots
are sharp. This will often only work if the camera is set to
a single, rather than continuous, focus mode.
12 Avoid imaginary
numbers
Camera manufacturers often
exaggerate the higher numbers, and if
you try to achieve these numbers there is a good chance
that you might crash and burn. Many cameras have an
extended range on top of the numbered ISO settings.
These are often unusable in anything but images that will
be reproduced very small indeed. My rule of thumb is
that I never use the extended range of ISOs and try not
to exceed a stop lower than the highest numbered ISO.
13 Bracket for noise

If you are not sure about what
maximum ISO you can use, take the
same shot at a couple of different
ISO settings, then select the one at the lowest ISO that
works – whether that means the one without camera

that even when using

two stops more light into the lens than
even a fast professional zoom lens with
an aperture of f/2.8. This could make the
difference between a usable shutter speed
of 1/15sec and an unusable 1/60sec.
15 Increase ISO

It is often said that you
should avoid higher
ISOs when using flash, but an increase in
the ISO will, in effect, make your flash
more powerful: enabling it to light up
subjects that are further away or allowing
you to use a smaller aperture. If you
combine the slow sync flash setting with a
higher ISO, then the ambient light in the
image can be balanced with the flash.

The link to surrealism

The exhibition at The Hepworth
showcases the results of Eleanor
Clayton’s exhaustive research,
which, in the accompanying book
Lee Miller and Surrealism in
Britain, outlines just how
intrinsically linked Miller was to
the surrealists in Britain and the
likes of sculptor Henry Moore and
artist Eileen Agar. Indeed, some of
their work sits alongside Miller’s
imagery within the show.
It was her future husband,
Roland Penrose, who persuaded
the nomadic American to move to
Britain and become a part of the
burgeoning British surrealist
movement in the late 1930s. But
Antony Penrose states, ‘In a way
she was a ready-made surrealist
because it was way more than an art
movement; it was a way of life. She
discovered that way of life back in
Poughkeepsie, New York, where she
just decided that she was going to
live her life to her own standards
and wasn’t going to accept anybody
else’s opinions about morals, artistic
values or anything like that.’
He adds, ‘A s surrealists they
shared their own lives, their ideals
and aspirations – it was very, very
important to be united in their
assertion of the need for peace and
freedom. That was where British
surrealism was really something

At times when accuracy and consistency are vital, a systematic approach to

Wraylex Ia
As the Wrayflex went into full production, it was
initially well received in England and abroad,
and even taken up in small numbers by the
military. At the start, orders came in faster than
Wray could make them – the reason for the
slow production speed was a lack of finance
that prevented the camera from being tooled
well enough for it to become a simple assembly

Lenses and
accessories
Wray made five screw-fit lenses for the
cameras: 35mm f/3.5 Lustrar, 50mm f/2
Unilite, 50mm f/2.8 Unilux, 90mm f/4 Lustrar
and 135mm f/4 Lustrar. It also adapted the
Wray Prismscope – originally designed as a
target spotting telescope – to fit Wrayflex
cameras, with a focal length of 45 inches and a
maximum aperture of f/18. A 50mm f/3.5
standard and 8in telephoto were planned and
even advertised, but they never went into
commercial production.
Although independent manufacturers didn’t
make lenses for the Wrayflex, several
non-Wray lenses specially adapted for the
Wrayflex mount have been discovered. They
include a 6in f/5.5 Teleros, 135mm f/4.5 Fujita,
40mm f/3.5 Macro Kilar and an enormous
and very heavy 8in f/2.9 unmarked lens that is
suspected to be a Dallmeyer Dalrac.
The only Wray accessories that were
purpose-made for the Wrayflex were a set of
three extension rings, an adapter to fit a
standard cable release to Wray’s unique
screw-fit shutter release collar and a cradle
that enabled the base-mounted film wind key
to be used with the camera on a tripod.

Protecting your camera
kit at home and away
You’ve invested time and money into your photography so why wouldn’t you invest in protecting your
camera and equipment?
If you’re shooting a landscape, wildlife or street photography, whether in the UK or abroad, the risk of
thet is always present. Accidents can also happen, whether its your fault or someone else’s – dropping
a lens or knocking over a tripod are easy but can be expensive mistakes to make.
As well as human error, there’s mother nature to deal with too – rain, sand, sea and temperature all
have the potential to damage your kit in the pursuit of the perfect shot.

threaten your photography:
