Why this
website
Photography has the extraordinary power
to capture a life moment which would otherwise just be a faint
recollection in our memory.
Every time we look at a photograph we experience once again the
moment and the emotion of shooting that picture.
125f11 is a site of
images that they want to describe and tell the world we live in,
so no image has been subjected to processing likely to
misrepresent reality.
All
picture are taken by Stefano Gazzoli

Why
the name
125f11
On a nice sunny day if you set the shutter speed to
1/125
with 100 ISO sensitivity, you will almost always have a
diaphragm of
f11.
The exposure time of 1/125 also usually
helps prevent accidental vibration,
and
f11
is an intermediate aperture for most optics usually mounted on
reflex cameras. This is an optimal compromise in order to have a
discrete depth of field and good sharpness.
So happy
"125f11"
to everybody…
This easy rule was extremely helpful when digital cameras did
not exist and it was not possible to check the photo on the
display. Therefore the so-called “sunny 16 rule”
was used. As a matter of fact it is f11, because when
using negative film it is common to overexpose: “exposing
for shadows”.
The rule was very common in the 60s and 70s, when a lightmeter
wasn’t on every camera, so
the
exposure was evaluated in an empirical way.
The Author
My name is
Stefano Gazzoli
I was born in
Brescia
Italy
in 1970. In 1995, after graduating in engineering, I bought the
first reflex camera: a mythical Yashica108. Soon after I decided
to join the friends of
GruppoIseoImmagine
from whom I learned everything in photography. Initially I took
the Franciacorta area which is a
province
of
Brescia,
where I live. In particular, I have dedicated to portraying rail
Brescia Edolo and the territory it traversed. Some travel in
Europe
and the world allowed me to photograph other railroads, other
landscapes and the people who live in those places.
Since 1998, I use Canon cameras and lenses with Fuji films.
In 2007 I
started taking pictures in digital.
In September 2009 I opened my personal photo website
www.125f11.com
