The very pub­lic­ness of the set­ting en­ables the pho­tog­ra­pher to take can­did pic­tures of strangers, often with­out their knowl­edge. Street pho­tog­ra­phers do not nec­es­sar­i­ly have a so­cial pur­pose in mind, but they pre­fer to iso­late and cap­ture mo­ments which might oth­er­wise go un­no­ticed. ***Why are CCD cam­eras bet­ter? CCD sen­sors cre­ate high-qual­i­ty, low-noise im­ages. CMOS sen­sors are usu­al­ly more sus­cep­ti­ble to noise. Be­cause each pho­to­site on a CMOS sen­sor has sev­er­al tran­sis­tors lo­cat­ed next to it, the light sen­si­tiv­i­ty of a CMOS chip tends to be lower, as many of the pho­tons hit the tran­sis­tors in­stead of the pho­to­site. *MY FREE ON­LINE PHOTO RE­SOURCE / GALLERY; http://​carminetaverna.​com/?​paged=1 With 5 decades of pho­tog­ra­phy ex­pe­ri­ence, Carmine Tav­er­na shares his knowl­edge with the YouTube com­mu­ni­ty. It's not the cam­era that makes a great photo, it's the pho­tog­ra­pher that TAKES a great photo. Who is Carmine Tav­er­na the Pho­to­jour­nal­ist from NYC? Hello ev­ery­one, I have been a Pro­fes­sion­al Pho­tog­ra­pher since 1973. I grad­u­at­ed from the School of Mod­ern Pho­tog­ra­phy and I must men­tion ad­di­tion­al 3 years of Pho­tog­ra­phy stud­ies and Dark­room Tech­niques while in High School. My pho­tos ap­pear in News­pa­pers, Mag­a­zine cov­ers and of course the World Wide Web. **I com­plete­ly un­der­stand buy­ing on eBay is scary. How­ev­er, when you are ready to buy your cam­era or lens on ebay, use this check­list I have cre­at­ed... 1) buy from a sell­er in Japan. 2) they must have 100% pos­i­tive feed­back. 3) they must have at least 100 Feed­backs. 4) the list­ing must say MINT OR EXC OR WORK­ING OR TEST­ED OR LIKE NEW. 5) you must un­der­stand the cam­era will Not be the cheap­est one on ebay. 6) I try to Only buy cam­eras and lens­es from Sell­ers in Japan Best wish­es, "Art with no lim­its, ex­pands the po­ten­tial of phys­i­cal re­al­i­ty, and un­leash­es the power of fine art." (a quote from Gal­leries Now dot net) Please read: The fol­low­ing is a Re­bec­ca West Quote. "Any au­then­tic work of art, must start an ar­gu­ment, be­tween the artist and his au­di­ence." *Must Read* "Pho­to­graph­ic art over­laps with the land­scape, por­trai­ture, and other pho­tog­ra­phy types. It is de­fined by the artist's vi­sion and ap­proach to get dis­tinct pho­tographs. Un­like other forms of pho­tog­ra­phy, fine art pho­tog­ra­phy is about cap­tur­ing what the artist sees in­stead of what the cam­era sees. It is just an­oth­er tool for artists to pro­duce their art." (Quote from N.F. I. The Nashville Film In­sti­tute) **The CCD was in­vent­ed in 1969 at Bell Labs by Willard Boyle and George Smith. Since that CCD FILM LIKE SEN­SOR was sen­si­tive to light it was used as image sen­sor for video and TV cam­eras. It could also be used as a mem­o­ry de­vice or ana­logue sig­nal delay since it's prin­ci­pal­ly a kind of ana­logue shift-reg­is­ter cir­cuit.
