Snapshots?

[melvin]

Hi Guys! Some newbie questions?

:think: After browsing through some of the threads some of the picts some of us will classfied them as snapshots.

What type of shots are consider snapshots?

How do we know that it is a snapshots?

How we differentiate from a snapshot from non-snap shots(is that what it is call?)

Pls enlighten!

Thanks a million in advance!

Taking pictures as opposed to taking snapshots as opposed to photography is like speeding as opposed to street racing as opposed to pro racing?

its like what the above poster said, a snapshot is something thats just taken, of a person, a place or anything, without any real thought going into the composition etc of the picture.. the intention is normally just to record that moment, rather than to create what i guess you could call a photograph with any artistic merit.

think about all the times you ahve gone to a friends house, and they showed you their album of photos from their most recent holiday.

and you flip and filp and flip, and theres all these pictures, but nothing really holds your interest or commands your attention. those are snapshots.

snapshot

hey! that's nice! let me take a picture
take out camera piont in the general direction and snap the shot
normally from the eye level position of whatever the person is doing


non snapshot

Hey that's nice, let me take a picture
take out camera, look for best point of view
check the bg for distracting elements
decide on the exposure and adjust for the desired amount
use proper camera holding technique
compose picture
focus
shoot

If it's only the guy turning around,it will be a snapshot,with the girl included is a pro shot.

Anything with a girl 16 to 50yrs old will be classified as a pro shot in portrait and pose.:bsmilie:

This are the official definition from Wikipedia. Think of snapshot as a subset of photograph. I don't much care for the definition. Just go out and shoot more.;p

Photograph

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Photograph (disambiguation).

A photograph (often shortened to photo) is an image (or a representation of that on e.g. paper) created by collecting an array of photons onto special photo-sensitive paper. The most common photographs are those created of reflected visible wavelengths, producing permanent records of what the human eye can see.
Most photographs are made with a camera, which focuses the light onto either photographic film or a CCD or CMOS image sensor. Photographs can also be made by placing objects on photosensitive paper and exposing it to light (the result is often called a photogram) or by placing objects on the platen of a flatbed scanner (see scanner art).

Snapshot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In a general sense, a snapshot is a brief glimpse of something. It also has several specific technical meanings:

• A snap shot in shooting is one that is aimed and fired quickly.
• A snapshot is a photograph that is taken in a moment of opportunity.
• A snapshot algorithm in distributed computing is one which copies a self-consistent image of the entire network to stable storage.
• A snapshot in computer storage is a set of files and directories as they were some time in the past.
• A snapshot in software development, similarly, is the view of a source code repository as it was at a particular time. It can also refer to an archival dump of the repository.
• Snapshot is an optional module of the Laserfiche product which creates an image of an electronic file and stores it in a Laserfiche Repository

So meaning snap shots are made without thinking? While non snapshots are throught thoughts?:think:
