How to use your camera to its (and your) potential.
In photography, capturing sharp photos is very important, unless you want to intentionally capture blur or have soft focus in your images. In order to capture sharp images, you need to take care of a few settings and controls in your camera. Capturing sharp images will sometimes depend on the smallest setting that we often tend to ignore.
In this article, we have put together a list of tutorials that will help you to capture tack sharp images every time.
The relentless march of technology has very much changed what we can do with our cameras. Thirty years ago, putting an ISO 1600 film in our camera, guaranteed very grainy images. Twenty years ago, shooting digital at 3200 promised a similar grain in the form of noise. Today, I can shoot a 61 megapixel camera at 16000 ISO and get results that look significantly better than 3200 ISO on a 12 megapixel camera 20 years ago.
Before we look at that, let’s take a look at why the tripod has been such an important part of any photographer’s life.
A lot of beginners take up photography and start shooting straightaway without understanding the basics. They end up capturing snapshots, while they could have captured much better photos if they’d had a good understanding of the basics in photography. Understanding the basics when it comes to camera settings will help to make creative decisions when out in the field based on the light, and other conditions.
Here are some tutorials, that will help you to understand basic camera settings and capture better photos.
The power that we have in Lightroom and many other modern apps is astonishing. To the point where we can take a relatively dull, average composition and turn it into something incredibly striking. I say striking because it doesn’t mean the image is good. We have at our mouse buttons a plethora of tools that combined with AI masking allow us to change entirely the way an image looks.
We are, however, in danger of over reliance on over editing our images and today I want to look at why when it comes to editing, less is often more.
Waterfalls are one of the most stunning subjects in landscapes and photographing them well can be quite a task. Although it is a part of landscape photography, it requires even more care and attention in order to avoid blown out highlights due to reflections and the right choice of shutter speed to get the best results.
Here are 25 dreamy photos of silky smooth waterfalls from around the world.
Many of us enjoy taking photographs in the urban environment. Classic iconic buildings, monuments, infrastructure, they all make excellent subjects for our lenses.
There is an issue though. The space in cities is often tight. Buildings close together, busy streets, street furniture, often mean that we struggle to get good shots. Even when we can get the shot, we often run into one of the more frustrating elements of photography, converging verticals. Today we are going to look at several ways that you can either avoid them, or correct them in editing.
