International AgfaPhoto Multicontrast B/W Photo Competition 2005
Search for the Best Black on White

The subject "Body Language" is absolutely classic and offers participants from around the world an opportunity to concentrate on the human body, particularly faces. This focus means approaching the nature and soul of humans; in purest form.

Because, on the one hand, the face communicates emotions, while on the other the body is the source of power and motion, both elementary expressions of human existence. We therefore expect deep insights into humanity. And on the medium reserved for purists: black-and-white photographic paper.

What are you waiting for? Lets go! Get into life. This year again it´s worth participating! The winner pictures will be shown internationally on our packagings as well as in our calendar. And even more: many attractive and valuable prices are waiting for the winners!

I'M MORE INCLINED WITH TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY because it tends to be spontaneous... The most valuable tip is to always have a camera on hand so that when a precious moment comes, then you can just shoot away...

OT: Senor Jose, naa kay sis sa CebuDoc? Familiar man tu imung studio shot...

Top ten techniques in taking good photographs:

1.) Keep your camera ready - How many once-in-a-lifetime pictures have you missed because you didn't have a camera with you? It's easy to avoid that frustration by keeping a camera handy.

2.) Get Close - As a general rule, the closer you get to the subject, the better your pictures will be. Getting close eliminates distracting, unnecessary backgrounds and shows the subject clearly.

3.) Keep People Busy - When photographing people, keep them busy! Your pictures will have a feeling of lively spontaneity. To avoid stiff, static poses, prompt your subjects to be active. Their expressions will be more relaxed and natural.

4.) Use a Simple Background - A simple background (above, left) focuses attention on the subject and makes clear, strong pictures. Take control and move your subject or your camera to find a simple, unclattered background.

5.) Place the Subject Off-Center - There is nothing wrong with placing the subject in the center of your viewfinder. However, placing the subject off-center can make the composition more dynamic and interesting to the eye. The subject of this picture (above) is the main facade of the building.

6.) Include Foreground in Scenics - When taking scenic pictures, try including objects in the foreground. Elements in the foreground add a sense of distance, depth, and dimension.

7.) Look for Good Lighting - Adequate lighting is essential to expose film, but good lighting can make your pictures more interesting, colorful, dimensional, and flattering to the subject. Strong sunlight is only one of these many types of good lighting.

8.) Hold Your Camera Steady - Sometimes good pictures are missed by overlooking the basics. Holding the camera steady is vital for sharp, clear pictures. When you push the shutter button, press it gently rather than jabbing it. Even slight camera movement can rob your pictures of sharpness. Use a brace to steady your arm or use a tripod, if available.

9.) Know When To Use Your Flash - You can improve your pictures by taking full advantage of the flash built into most cameras. It provides extra light when you need it, especially indoors, and it freezes action for sharp action.

10.) Choose the Right Film - I recommend using a Fuji brand of film. Use a Fuji 100 for daylight shots; Fuji 400 or 800 for night shots.
