Photographic techniques

On this page: Photographic techniques — Photography, Technology & Science at the Tenckhoff Photo Archive.

Photographic techniques encompass a variety of methods and approaches to creating and capturing images. This includes basics like exposure and focus as well as creative processes such as long exposure, multiple exposures, or the use of various filters and lenses.

Study: Photography in Corona times

The study "Photography in Corona times" by the Tenckhoff photo archive shows the effects of the pandemic on hobby, amateur and professional photographers.

Holograms in video sequences

The three-dimensional effect of holograms is particularly impressive when the viewer can move around

Holographic art in Pulheim Town Hall

At the end of the 1990s, the Holography Museum was closed by Matthias Lauk and its approximately 350 exhibits were looking for new owners.

Rainbow holograms in art

This post nicely shows the special effect of rainbow holograms that appear multi-colored.

White light holograms (argon laser)

This post shows a white light hologram that was recorded with an argon laser. A flashlight with almost parallel light is sufficient for viewing.

Holography with argon laser

White light holograms are generated with coherent laser light, but they meet lower coherence conditions when viewing.

Half a hologram - all the information

Is there really all the information of a recorded motif in every fragment of a hologram? Here we examine a broken hologram.

Holography for science and art

Holographic recording techniques not only record the amplitude of light rays but also their phase.

Recording techique: "Rainbow holograms"

The technique for generating rainbow holograms was developed in 1968 by Dr. Stephen A. Benton designed.
