•👨🎤APH •📸SAM
👨🎤 What do you think of the Art industry of Ethiopia ?
Sam 📸The art industry is booming in recent years and will hopefully continue in this path and this has a lot to do with the rise of social media.
👨🎤 Why did you get in too Photography?
📸 at first i got fascinated by my new phone and i got creative with it but i soon realized that i had a huge resource on my hand and now i can address issues that i previously couldn't. For example im addressing a huge issue 'Domestic abuse' through photography.
👨🎤 What inspires you as a photographer?
Sam 📸 feedback is a good inspiration for most people. I wanna know how people react to my work. Its like im giving them a look into my mind.
👨🎤What do you wish to contribute in Ethiopian Art industry as a photographer in the future?
Sam 📸 hopefully i could have my own incubation hub for photographers and poets
We will continue with more later on -

--Last part of the interview--
👨🎤- What do you think are the challenges of Photographers in Ethiopia
Sam 📸 photography has got a bad rep over the paste few decades, photographs were taken in africa to show poverty and famine so when you go out into the streets people perceive that as a bad thing and for this challenge i got some tips 1.tell them you are a student
2. Position your frame so that the subject will walk into the frame
👨🎤- What do you think are the opportunities for Photographers in Ethiopia
Sam 📸 there are various workshops organized by creative features and also platforms on social media
👨🎤- We all know the challenges of the art industry but How can some one get in too photography industry? Do you think it's worth it ?
Sam 📸 i suggest you to join only if you have a passion for it and plus if you have conviction. Passion alone wont get you there you need hard work
👨🎤- How can someone be a better Photographer ? What can they do to get better with there work ?
Sam 📸 You should know the technical parts but also be creative with it. Think of some angle most people wont use and give it your own twist
👨🎤- What do you think is the importance of showing your work in social medias ?
Sam 📸 the sooner the better cuz you will get either positive or negative feedback so you will be benefiting either way
👨🎤- Last Q - What do you think about APH - if you have any comment ...
Sam 📸 i love the idea but we need to see more of your work. You are an awesome photographer and you have a lot of followers so you should lead by example. People will definitely get inspired with your work. And sometime in the future i hope we will have a photography workshop.

Today we will see some other basic elements in photography , #WhiteBalance and #Histogram-

••••••••WHITE BALANCE••••••••
White Balance (WB) -is an aspect of photography that many digital camera owners don’t use – but it’s something well worth learning about as it can have a real impact upon the shots you take.
So for those of you who have been avoiding White Balance – let me introduce you to it.
At its simplest – the reason we adjust white balance is to get the colors in your images as accurate as possible.
Why would you need to get the color right in your shots?
You might have noticed when examining shots after taking them that at times images can come out with an orange, blue, yellow etc look to them – despite the fact that to the naked eye the scene looked quite normal. The reason for this is that images different #SourcesOfLight have a different ‘color’ (or temperature) to them.
E.g. Fluorescent lighting adds a bluish cast to photos whereas tungsten (incandescent/bulbs) lights add a yellowish tinge to photos.
The range in different temperatures ranges from the very cool light of blue sky through to the very warm light of a candle.
We don’t generally notice this difference in temperature because our eyes adjust automatically for it. So unless the temperature of the light is very extreme a white sheet of paper will generally look white to us. However a digital camera doesn’t have the smarts to make these adjustments automatically and sometimes will need us to tell it how to treat different light.
So for cooler (blue or green) light you’ll tell the camera to warm things up and in warm light you’ll tell it to cool down.

••••••Adjusting White Balance•••••
Different digital cameras have different ways of adjusting white balance so ultimately you’ll need to get out your camera’s manual out to work out the specifics of how to make changes. Having said this – many digital cameras have automatic and semi-automatic modes to help you make the adjustments.
👇👇Here are some of the basic White Balance settings you’ll find on cameras:👇👇
• Auto – this is where the camera makes a best guess on a shot by shot basis. You’ll find it works in many situations but it’s worth venturing out of it for trickier lighting.
• Tungsten – this mode is usually symbolized with a little bulb and is for shooting indoors, especially under tungsten (incandescent) lighting (such as bulb lighting). It generally cools down the colors in photos.
• Fluorescent – this compensates for the ‘cool’ light of fluorescent light and will warm up your shots.
• Daylight/Sunny – not all cameras have this setting because it sets things as fairly ‘normal’ white balance settings.
• Cloudy – this setting generally warms things up a touch more than ‘daylight’ mode.
• Flash – the flash of a camera can be quite a cool light so in Flash WB mode you’ll find it warms up your shots a touch.
• Shade – the light in shade is generally cooler (bluer) than shooting in direct sunlight so this mode will warm things up a little.

Use WB to get the colors in your images as accurate as possible - White Balance is measured in Kelvin (K) -
