Concepts in Photography Shooting postures A correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a slow shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize body movement. Standing photography Compose your shot, stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.
Concepts in Photography Crouching photography Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep a straight posture. Using the display To take photos at high or low angles, tilt the display up or down. 1 Slide the display downwards carefully. 2 Tilt the display from 180˚ upwards to 45˚ downwards.
Concepts in Photography To capture a self-portrait, set Auto Self Shot to On, flip the display 180° upwards and touch the subject on the display. (p. 33) Keep the display closed when the camera is not in use. Tilt the display only within the angle allowed. Failing to do so may damage your camera. Be careful not to damage the display when tilting it. If you have flipped the display upwards and you are not holding the camera by hand, do not rest the camera on a table, fence, etc.
Concepts in Photography Aperture The aperture is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture is related to the amount of light: a larger aperture allows more light and a smaller aperture allows less light. Aperture sizes The size of the aperture is indicated by a value known as the “F-number“.
Concepts in Photography Aperture value and the depth of field You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by changing the size of the aperture. A large aperture gives your photos a shallow depth of field (DOF). Objects immediately in front of or behind your subject will be blurred, while the subject will be in focus. A small aperture gives your photos a deep depth of field. Objects far in front or far behind your subject and your subject will be in focus.
Concepts in Photography Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in. Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light will be let in. Shutter speed Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter. It controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. Shutter speeds are measured in seconds and parts of a second.
Concepts in Photography ISO sensitivity The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the camera to light. This sensitivity is measured by a set of international film standards, known as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used to indicate the light sensitivity of the digital sensor that captures the image. Because a low ISO setting means the camera will be less sensitive to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure.
Concepts in Photography How the aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity control exposure The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter. ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the film or digital image sensor reacts to light.
Concepts in Photography Correlation between focal length, angle, and perspective Long focal length Focal length, which is measured in millimeters, is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and perspective of captured images. A short focal length translates into a wide angle, which allows you to capture a wide shot. A long focal length translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to capture telephoto shots.
Concepts in Photography What controls out-of-focus effects? Depth of field The depth of field (DOF) is the focused area around the subject. In general, the DOF can be shallow or deep. In photos with a shallow DOF, the subject is sharply focused, the background is blurred and the subject stands out. In contrast, photos with a deep DOF have all the elements of the photo in sharp focus. DOF depends on the aperture value A low aperture value indicates that the aperture has a wide opening.
Concepts in Photography DOF depends on focal length The longer the focal length, the shallower the DOF. A telescopic lens with a longer focal length will capture a photo with a shallow DOF better than a lens with a shorter focal length. DOF depends on the distance between the subject and the camera The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera, the shallower the DOF is. Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject generally results in a photo with a shallow DOF.
Concepts in Photography DOF preview You can press the Custom button to get an idea of what your shot will look like before shooting. The camera adjusts the aperture to the predefined settings and shows the results on the screen. Set the function of the Custom button to Optical Preview. (p. 171) Composition The way that objects are arranged in a photo is referred to as its composition.
Concepts in Photography Using the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling compositions. Below are a few examples. Photos with two subjects If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced composition. You can stabilize the photo by capturing a second subject in the opposite corner to balance the weight of the photo. Subject 2 Subject 1 Unstable Subject 2 Subject 1 Stable When taking landscape photos, centering the horizon will create an unbalanced effect.
Concepts in Photography Flash guide number Flash Light is one of the most important components in photography. However, you will not always have enough of light in all situations. Making use of a flash allows you to compensate for the lack of light and create a variety of effects. The flash, also known as a strobe or speed light, provides adequate exposure in low-light conditions. It is also useful in light-abundant situations.
Concepts in Photography Bounce Photography Bounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light off of the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads evenly over the subject. Normally, photos captured with the flash may appear unnatural and cast shadows. Subjects in photos captured with bounce photography cast no shadows and look smooth due to evenly spread light.
