Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens
Sep 1, 2009 Digital Cameras
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens . The Canon EF 50mm F1.8 II may be one of the cheapest lenses currently on the market, but its optics belie its lowly price. As befits a classic standard prime lens, it’s very sharp when stopped down (especially in the centre), shows minimal chromatic aberration, and has relatively low distortion; APS-C users will also benefit from extremely low vignetting. In most regards it comes very close indeed to its much more expensive bigger brother, the EF 50mm F1.4 USM, lagging marginally behind in corner sharpness at any specific aperture. The only real blight in imaging terms is the lens’s bokeh, or rendition of out-of-focus backgrounds, which is anything but smooth with a distinct tendency to render bright highlights as obvious pentagons (it’s a pity Canon didn’t choose to use a diaphragm with 7 or 8 blades instead of 5).

Photography in Black and White
May 7, 2009 Photography
Black and white pictures were first developed long before colored pictures were born just as the television and the movies. The history of the modern photograph is much printed in monochromatic pictures, which are basically black and white pictures. The photograph back then was rendered in dark and light patches which were used to create black and white effects. The dark portions would sometimes be rendered as gray or brownish.
Fall of Black and White
When the colored picture came into being during the 1975 era, black and white pictures came tumbling down, and they fell hard. There were many reasons behind this falling. The different manufacturers were developing better-than-ever color films and they were creating these films at very affordable prices. The number of good developers of black and white films was also declining. The attention of the public was turned into the more elaborate and exciting colored pictures
