Camera Armor – Page 5 – A good snapshot stops a moment from running away

By: Mariam Janett Date: December 18, 2019 Categories: Camera

At their most basic level, Cameras, both the Single Lens Reflex Camera and Digital Camera simply involve using a curved piece of glass or plastic (lens) to conduct a beam of light bouncing off an object, and to redirect this light in such a way that a real image is formed-an image that looks exactly like the object in front of the lens. The only difference between manual or conventional film cameras and digital cameras lies in how these basic processes are accomplished.

In film cameras, after the lens has formed an image of the object, the image is then focused on and recorded by a chemically-coated piece of plastic, the film. Then the film is chemically processed, after which the image is printed onto a photographic paper, and then we have pictures that can then be stored in our …

Taking Great Photos on Phone

Check the Lighting

First of all it is all about the lighting, if the lighting is poor, you can forget about having a great image. Check if your flash is on, and check the light settings. This is a fantastic way to make sure that you can snap the perfect photo. Great lighting, equals great photos and that means that your images will look great no matter what.

Choose Your Background Wisely

Make sure that you’re standing in a position that has a great background. Don’t settle for clutter in the background, or people that are walking past as you take your photo. If you’re trying to snap a photo of the scenery around you, then wait for the perfect moment. One of the great skills that a photographer needs is patience.

Photo Opportunity

By: Mariam Janett Date: December 16, 2019 Categories: Photography

The woman stopped in front of a propped-up music speaker, turned to her side, and swiveled her head forward to look at the photographer, who in turn had taken a professional position.

Everybody watched as time ticked by. Three minutes later the photographer was yet to take a picture. The woman shuffled her high heels back and forth, patted her scarf at the back, rebalanced the wad of wrapper hung around her right shoulder and returned a bland look at the general audience.

Soon thereafter the woman began to explore reasons for the delay. If the photographer weren’t too tall, and too huge, and old, he would have taken a few pictures by now.

Getting ready for a photograph and not immediately proceeding was what annoyed her about taking pictures at a public event. Younger people can tolerate such an …

Photographing Bridal Models

By: Mariam Janett Date: December 14, 2019 Categories: Photography Tags: Models

You are most likely going to be indoors often

Most places where weddings and wedding photo shoots happen, such as churches, or indoor spaces aren’t going to be brightly lit. Using the flash is a necessity, however, the standard point and shoot flash that comes with a DSLR still isn’t going to be enough to light the surroundings well enough. That would mean additional flash lighting would have to be hooked up to the camera or surroundings to bounce off the wall. Photographers will thus require a good sensing of the flashes that result from multiple sources and be able to create the most natural effect possible without too much glare or darkness.

Old School Flash

By: Mariam Janett Date: December 11, 2019 Categories: Camera Tags: flash

The main problem with film flash photography is that the lighting effect cannot be seen until a print has been made. Additionally, the position in which the flashgun is mounted to the camera is less than ideal for some types of photography, portraiture for example, since it produces a very flat light, and casts disagreeable shadows. Good results therefore require the photographer to understand how they can manipulate this set-up, and knowledge stems from careful experimentation and experience.

There are two ingredients to successful film flash photography. The first is correct exposure. Every flashgun has a “guide number” for every speed of film (although the number for 100 ASA/ISO is most frequently used), and that number is based on the flash firing at the subject directly. The higher the guide number, the more powerful the flashgun is, although some manufacture’s …

Benefits Compact Digital Camera

By: Mariam Janett Date: December 8, 2019 Categories: Camera

Lower cost

Compared to film photographs where film processing fee is required and film prices have risen recently as supply diminishes, users only have to spend minimal ongoing costs on compact cameras since images can be stored in computer devices without printing. If you have a few photos you really like, you can print them out yourselves or get them professionally printed at photography store without wasting money on printing the unwanted images.

Many digital cameras are highly affordable to those who want to shoot good quality images, for around $150 you can get a pretty respectable camera without sacrificing image quality and features.

Transferring photos

Color Editing

By: Mariam Janett Date: December 8, 2019 Categories: Photography

Aging your Photos

This is an editing technique, which will allow you to convert your color snaps into black and white ones. You may be wondering why anyone would want to do this. However, changing a color photo to black and white can completely change the way the picture appears, as well as giving the photo an almost nostalgic and timeless appearance.

An additional way to add a touch of nostalgia to your photos, especially if you are not a fan of black and white, is to add a sepia tint to your photos. A sepia tint will give your photos a dull brown appearance, and is something that used to happen to photos in the very early days of photography, when the photo became old and exposed to too much air and light.

Wedding Photography Destinations

Church

Nothing could be dearer to your heart like a traditional church wedding. Accompanied by the cute flower girls, walking down the aisle in your gorgeous gown and to face the altar to exchange solemn vows is such a blessing. This is truly a heavenly experience synonymous to the term ‘Holy Matrimony’.

A Hotel

It is a great way to have a lavish wedding. You have separate places for everything, including the first dance in the grand ballroom and the banquet hall for the wedding buffet. It is also practically time-savvy as all the decorations and catering for the wedding guests will be taken care by specific teams allotted by the hotel. Though it is a bit costly, it has its reasons to be on your consideration list.

Inspiring Ways To Fast-Track Photography

By: Mariam Janett Date: December 6, 2019 Categories: Photography

Subscribe to a photography magazine

The racks of most bookshops are stacked with numerous photography magazines. My favourite is Digital SLR Photography*, which boasts a higher standard of writing than found in other titles from the UK. Of course, these days you can subscribe to the digital version of magazines, and download them to your mobile device of choice.

Start a personal project

A popular pastime is to shoot a photo every day for 365 days. The idea is to force yourself into the habit of getting your camera out regularly, not just for holidays, or special occasions. Shoot ordinary events or items.

Dedicated 365 websites give tips and ideas.

You could photograph a ‘selfie’ in the mirror to record your beard growth for 12 months, and then create a time lapse.

Another worthwhile project is to choose a …
