The Legacy of Contrast Management: The Zone System
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Zone System has been the established methodology for precisely gauging and managing contrast in photography since the 1940s. In the contemporary digital era, only a small number of mostly film photographers expose their images according to original Zone technique with its quantitative scale for engaging differences in illumination. Nevertheless the principles and parameters of Zone methodology such as f-stop calculation continue to be used in manual photographic technique, and can be helpful in image planning for digital photography as well. Behind the scenes, essentials of Zone technique have been incorporated in the sophisticated automatic exposure capability taken for granted in advanced digital cameras.

They should (i) recall and reflect on their theories-in-use to bear on the phenomenon, (ii) metaph...
متن کاملManagement of groundwater resources of Mahvelat-Faizabad aquifer and evaluation of extent of saline water zone using numerical simulation
The unmanaged groundwater extraction and inadequate aquifer recharge is the major cause of groundwater depletion in different parts of the world. In this study, the groundwater flow system of Mahvelat-Feizabad aquifer (NE of Iran) has been numerically simulated using MODFLOW code in the GMS interface. The model, primarily, calibrated for steady state condition for the mean hydraulic values of o...

Livestock Management in the Arid Zone: Coping Strategies
The arid zone encompasses land that has an imbalance between precipitation and losses through evaporation. Globally, arid zones comprise large part of many countries in the mid-latitudes in both the Northern and the Southern hemispheres. Both Australia and Iran are countries with a large arid zone. This negative water balance in the arid zone affects the type of land use in these countries. At ...
