Photography Tip of the Day - October 29, 2010

Judging Exposure

In tricky lighting conditions, learn to obtain the exposure from the part of the scene you want to expose correctly, such as the face. Select the selection of  the image in the viewfinder, then hold the reading and re-compose the shot. This is the fastest way to ensure exposure.

I hope this this tip will be useful to you.

Happy shooting!

Finding Focus

For self-timer shots, where you set up the camera to include yourself in a group shot - ensure that the camera is not only framed correctly, but also focused on the group before you set off the self-timer. Alternatively, it may be easier to set the focus manually.

I hope this tip will be of benefit to you.

Things to Think About Before Purchasing a Digital Camera

By Nathaniel 3X Rhine

Before you start looking at cameras, ask yourself these important questions to determine your needs:

1. How much money is in my budget?

2. How often do I intend to use my camera? Will I take occasional family photographs or become a proficient amateur photographer?

3. What kind of photography am I interested in? Will I shoot landscapes, portraits, my children’s Taekwondo events or other fast-moving subjects?

4. What kind of lighting will I typically work with – outdoors, indoors, or both? What about weather conditions?

5. Will I print photos, and will I want to print large photos?

6. Can I use my existing equipment, which makes compatibility important?

7. Am I willing to learn a little about photography so that I can use a more manual model?

These are a few questions to get the ball rolling. I encourage you to stay turned to this blog site for I will have more interesting articles that will be of help to you, if not now, perhaps in the future. Happy shooting!

Finding Focus

If you have manual focusing controls on your camera or lens, learn to use them. The controls on some point-and-shoot cameras may be very limited to setting focus by distance, rather than by watching the sharpness of the image. Manual control is useful when photographing close-up as it allows you to make precise adjustments in focus.

I hope this tip will be of value to you. Happy shooting!

Finding Focus

If you set the auto-focus to single-shot or one-shot mode, the camera will expose only when it determines that focus has been found. This helps ensure sharp images but may slow down photography in fast-changing situations.
