Focus on something when you photo nature

March 7th, 2010

mushroom focus photoWhen I am out and shooting in nature so I usually try to find a focus that I can concentrate on. One day I was out and took a long trip in Tyresta (english version) . Today’s focus had to be fungi and they do adapt to their environment and weather conditions. I think that is a focus i am getting some better pictures.

The first image was a picture of some Agaricales as I saw that photograph from underneath so that I had a backlight. That was also the case that I got some mushrooms underside.

mushroom focus photoI had to limit myself so that I focus on a particular type of images which allows me to develop precisely the knowledge and thoughts on how my pictures should be. I just took with me my Canon 50m: 1.8 lens, which I find increasingly better and better. Something that struck me directly is that I would like a flash that could provide an exciting light. More recently i have taken some nice pictures with LEDs. It would be interesting to see what they themselves could do.

The next picture was a few brittle, glassy small fungi who stuck up in a colony. Here it is important to have a slow shutter speed so that I get good color despite the poor light. Here you can have with you a bag of beans or use the terrain or something so the camera is stable and then put the camera on self-timer so you avoid camera shake.

mushroom focus photoFinally I found a lone mushroom next to a pine tree that I framed in with the surrounding terrain, and choose a relatively short depth of field to highlight the subject. The sharp benches are also in good contrast with the dark background. Also try to have a focus on something the next time you are out shooting. It need not even apply to natural photo. If you are shooting in town so maybe you can focus on one type of buildings or why not working on people. Think outside your usual photo and dare to give yourself a challenge. A different focus than you would normally have so you shoot a whole new type of images.

Play with the exposure and learn more about the shutter

March 4th, 2010

overexposed photo pineI’ve been playing aroumd with a little over-exposing my photo. It is good to do some trial and error with the creative modes. How will it effect your photo and settings. It is good to know your camera. Play around in TV and AV modes or why not in manual mode. You can not paint if you do not know their brushes. Photography is just to paint with the light.

You are going to venture away from the automatic mode for you to take control of your camera. Play has always been a great way to learn and always will be. I have previously written about both the aperture and shutter speed. overexposed photo pine I think though Fotonomy writes well and perhaps a little more comprehensive about mastering shutter speed and aperture.

I myself almost exclusively use the manual mode now because I feel I have better control of the images I want to paint. Certainly be the ultimate geek but never forget about the picture. Terje Hellesø have very right in that we too often focus on the technology and forget the imagery.

If you want to learn more about the imagery, so I made a compilation of good sources to read on here on Photo and Pictures. In addition, Digital ProTalk made a statement about a couple of messages about good simple things you can think of.

More simple tips to remember when shooting

March 2nd, 2010

In the case of photo, there are some good rules to remember. Just remember that it is always good to be creative and think again. This is done best if you have a good foundation to stand on. It is only when people know what they are doing and have good knowledge that you can really get creative. The more you know and feel to the freer you can be. Once you’ve gotten to know the basic rules, you also know when to violate them.

It is also your equipment. Get to know your equipment so you know what you can do with it. Read the manual for your camera, both one and two times. Ask at the forum when it’s things you wonder about.

1st Sunshine aperture 16 or f16 rule.
The basic rule for exposure on a bright, sunny day is f/16 when you have a shutter speed of 1 over your ISO setting. If you have ISO 100 so you should have f/16 with a shutter speed of 1 / 100. From this you can then adjust a little.

2nd Rule to avoid motion blur due to small motion you involuntarily make is that you can safely hold a camera with slow shutter most are 1 / the focal length of lens you use. Do you have a lens with focal length 250 as the slowest shutter between 1 / 250th The longer time the higher the risk of motion blur. Use a 50mm lens shoot no less than 1 / 60. Do you feel that you are not getting enough light, use the tripod, flash, or let the camera rest on something steady. You can also use the burst method.

3rd Get a white balance filter. It is easy to fix with a tray from Ikea called “smula” for 15kr. Use the filter to set the white balance right. You can use the tray or a white coffee filter to set the white balance.

4th It is important to know how the depth of field works and how it can enhance your image. In a landscape, for example, it is a good tip to focus one third in the image to get a maximized depth of field. This makes it close to you perceived as sharp and you may also be a good sharpness in the rest of the picture.

5th Expose for highlights and let the shadows get by as best as they get. It is possible to get the light into the shadows, but impossible to save spent time and lots of edits if the photo is overexposed.

Miksang photography – meditative photo

February 23rd, 2010

Miksang is Tibetan and means “good eye”. The idea is to get away from the control of the image, and instead let the shapes and colors speak for themselves. Discovering the world with a new vision. Searching for the simple and natural.

It is often I feel I am at peace when I am photographing. I’ll work a little more in this direction. Meditate is nothing new for me because I’ve trained martial arts for over 10 years. To seek peace and harmony in the photo is not a bad idea. The sight is our dominant sense, and will there be peace the rest will follow . I have already had the thoughts in this direction before. We need to think more of the action than actually the picture itself.

Landscape Photography – leading the eye into a journey

February 15th, 2010

diagonal composition landscapeFor a successful landscape photograph requires that you really think about composition. The challenge is to create depth and bring his eyes into the picture. For detecting lines and curves in the landscape and then use the to catch the viewer. Use a wall, fence and try to get the lines to create both depth and highlight the main subject. Mattias wrote a great article earlier on the lines and composition.

To create an interesting landscape that is the foreground is very important. Foreground is to have a second focus that creates deep just by being there. There may be some interesting rocks or why not use your photo buddy in the picture and let your buddy look over the landscape. It may also be effective to shoot landscapes in the context of an event when one is cooking in their stoves. People will also be a landscape less fate. Here it is important to be aware of the feeling you want to convey. Create action.

The timing is also important if you are going to take really good pictures. It is good thing to explore the same place at different times of day.

A tripod is handy when taking landscape photos especially at early or late hours when you often need to use slow shutter speeds. If you use a neutral density filters in the middle of the day, you can do effects with slow shutter speeds. If you plan to buy an SLR, it is good to invest in a sturdy frame on which some zoom lens weighs a lot and then not a good enough ranking manner, light stands from an electronics chain.

sunset landscape photographyA landscape can change enormously with the weather so you must be patient and take the opportunity when it appears. One day that might seem to create bad color images can be perfect for making black and white photographs. It is good if you have it in mind already when shooting. You will of course always let the pictures in color to transform the latter into the computer.
