night effects

Side of the family art photography.
1- How is it possible to suggest the effect of the night in the picture, even though the photography takes place outside during the day?
2- I photographed some photos using the multiply method on one slide, but the result did not suit me or I did not like it. What is the reason?
Note that I photographed in a dark room with a shutter speed at (B) and an aperture of f / 1.4, with the flash used several times and the exposure time between 5 and 10 minutes, and on a tripod.

1- The suggestion of the night effect is done through filters.
With black and white, use an orange or red filter, and you get a dark composition.
With the colorist, there is no fixed rule, but you have to study the filters booklet and choose the effect that suits you, knowing that it takes more than one filter, but it is clear that you will take pictures against the sunlight. It must be dark - black so that it absorbs light and does not reflect it. Light backgrounds, especially white ones, reflect light and cause poor light expression, and you are also required to set the steps in advance so that you study the shot and the number of movements and work on coordinating them, so that your images are not randomly repeated, but are deliberate and identical. You also have to reduce the use of flash or reduce its glare. .... And let the aperture be at f / 8, and if you add a lot of movements to the subject, then it is preferable to f / 11 ⏹

⏺ Comparison between cameras and movies

1- You are kindly requested to make a comparison between each of the following cameras, with a focus on the technical advantages and disadvantages, and which one is better in your opinion:
A - (Canon AE-1-Pm).
B - (Nikon FM2).
A - (Minolta X700).
D - (Konica FT 1).

2 - The difference between the 50 mm lenses, which are symbolized by 1.8 and 1.4.
3- What, in your opinion, are the best colored films available in the market?
4- Please make a table through which the shutter speed can be matched to the size of the lens aperture.

It is difficult to make a comprehensive evaluation of these cameras, as the pros and cons of each of them vary to the same extent, and therefore many of us may consider some of the pros as negatives, or vice versa, and the additions do not fall into the category of pros and cons, so it depends on what you want to buy a 35 mm reflex camera, and therefore it may We previously provided adequate explanations about these cameras.

A - This camera is considered one of the best that Canon has produced so far.
This camera was manufactured for the first time in 1976 and it was called AE-1, as it was working with one system, then modifications were made to it and it was re-manufactured in 1983 and a symbol (P) was inserted on it, i.e. programmed. It works according to the programmed system and the intuitive system, and it is possible to say that this camera is complete with its specifications. Shutter speed up to 1/1000
B - This camera is distinguished by its shutter speed, which reaches 1/4000, but this feature remains limited
There is only one drawback, which is the speed of damage to the shutter screen, the veil, because the shutter speed works at 1/4000. The additional feature is the use of flash at (2008) location, but this camera works with one manual system, while (Nikon) cameras are characterized by providing polished lenses that remain much better than the rest of the lenses.

A - This camera also has full specifications and is similar to the (Canon AE IP) camera in all respects. It works according to two systems - programmed and normal - and its shutter speed is up to 1/1000. Use the flash at 0600.
D - This camera cannot be placed in the position of other cameras, even if its specifications are identical, but its manufacturing structure and mechanical work inside it are less than other cameras, as it is intended only for amateurs, while the cameras that we have previously referred to
It is intended for professionals and amateurs alike. The working system of (Konica) is also similar to the working system of (Minolta) camera, distinguished by the presence of a film pusher motor, a winder, within the body of the camera.

2- The difference between a lens that has an aperture of f / 1.8 and a lens of f / 1.4 is that the latter allows twice the amount of f / 1.8 lens to enter. When the light works that allow it to enter at night, you will definitely prefer if you have a lens with a larger aperture size, which is f / 1,4, noting that there is an addition / 1,2, which is the most expensive for you, my friend. Go back to the third lesson under the title “Functions and Technology of Lenses” in Issue No. 27.

3- The best color quality is in (Kodak) films and (Fuji) films.
4 - The schedule that you demand depends primarily on the speed of the film that you want to use, and since most of the available cameras have an exposure, we see that such schedules are not valid, especially when the environment and climate changes ⏹

⏺Photo by George Kelayjian

How is it possible to take pictures like those taken by the artist George Kalijian and published in Issue No. 42 - page 38, bearing in mind that I have a Pashica camera (FX7) with a 42 x 80 mm zoom lens.

There are many methods for making such works, as there are multiple photography and montage processes.
This image is made using a sandwich slide method, which is two slides that are placed together and then one colored negative is pulled from them, and this requires having a copy slide ⏹
