I am today going to give you some basic knowledge on some basic rules of photography.
Framing:- Framing is the tactic of using natural surroundings to
add more meaning to your subject. It could be anything such as bushes,
trees, a window, or even a doorway like in the picture at the top of this page.
In the process of doing this you need to be careful that you don’t only
focus on what’s framing your subject. Make sure you focus on the main
subject, and also it is a good idea to use a narrow aperture (high f/stop) to
achieve a high depth-of-field. It also wouldn’t hurt if the part of the
picture framing the subject was darker so make sure you take your light reading
on the main subject.
Knowing your equipment:- What's the use of buying expensive bulky when you don't know how to use them? Well knowing your equipment is another important aspect. Most of the armature shoot their pictures in auto mode instead of manual which does not allow them to control their picture.
Manual mode allow
photographers to control shutter speeds and aperture without camera
changing the other options.For example, you can photograph a beach
landscape keeping the aperture high (for example f/22) so everything is in
focus, yet at the same time set a slow shutter speed to create dreamy, slow
motion waves.
Manual mode gives you full
control over your exposure. If you are finding a lot of your photographs are
either underexposed (too dark) or overexposed (too light) then working in fully
manual mode will help you to better understand and correct these exposure
problems. Personally, I've found tweaking exposure results in photographs that
are much more colorful than those taken in other modes.
aperture:- Aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. Its most obvious feature is that it limits the amount of light that can reach the image. By changing the size of aperture the light as well as depth of field can be controlled. As show in figure as f decreases the amount of light reaching the sensor also decreases.
Shutter speed:- Shutter
speed is how long the sensor in your camera is exposed to light. Think of it as
a blink. It’s measured in seconds and more commonly as a fraction of a second.
Your DSLR has a whole range of shutter speeds but in photographic terms the
important ones are:
1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30,
1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500.
By moving from 1/60 to 1/125 and thus reducing exposure time,
you are halving the light entering the camera.
You'll also find speed settings longer than a quarter-second,
increasing in increments up to 30 seconds of longer. There’s also a special B
setting (for Bulb) where you can leave the shutter open for as long as the
shutter is held down. It's great for taking pictures at night of light trails,
fireworks and fairground rides.
The photo to the right is taken with a shutter speed of 1/2
sec.
Lighting:- Using the light available is one of the important aspects of learning photography. If you master the light usage than you can master the photography.If proper amount of light is not available it will be difficult to capture a picture out of it. After all Photography is the art,science and practice of creating durable images by recording light.
When proper amount of light
is absent you can always use flash or artificial lightning to get your
appropriate condition. Moreover you can use flash or other lightning during day
time to create some exclusive images but using it can be quite tricky and
requires practice.
Cropping:- Often a photo will lack impact because the main subject is so small it becomes lost among the clutter of its surroundings. By cropping tight around the subject you eliminate the background "noise", ensuring the subject gets the viewer's undivided attention.
Happy clicking :)
