Still Life Photography

Photography has several categories, could photojournalism, documentary photography, sports photography, and others. One of them is the still life photos, namely photographs of inanimate nature, such as sculpture, food, drinks, dolls, miscellaneous small items from ornaments to beauty products.

Although the shooting object is inanimate objects, take a picture to be a good photo and contains art was not as easy as we imagine. Especially if we have to make these inanimate objects become “alive” or contain.

What is important in this case is the lighting, the light falling on objects that our portraits. Generally, the shooting still life done by using artificial light, the flash for example. Set the light falling on the object in such a way to move them or how to move the pan, lift, rotate the object so that the lighting was found best. This is one of the natural ease of photographing inanimate objects in which to determine the direction of proper lighting on the object, the photographer just do it by sliding, lift or rotate.

In illuminating the object still life lamp position and number of lights used will determine the success of “turn on” inanimate objects are. Therefore determine its placement with respect to the object to be photographed correctly (look for the lift, rotate and move it) and do the basic theory of radiation exposure based on the correct and appropriate desire to achieve results as expected photographer.

Human interest photograph

Human interest photography is a model or style of photography that focuses on humans as its main object individually (currently own, nor are interacting) and the group, which is primarily intended to show the mood (sad, happy, laughing, happy, joking, running, crying and etc.).

Here is his take beautiful photographs of human interest, because we can see a person’s expression. human interest in taking pictures, we should really look at the right time. For good results, we must have a telephoto lens, because in this photo shoot a target object should not know when he’s in the photo. If the object knew he was in the photo, then the object expression to be in the picture will be completely lost. Try taking a photo object must be in secret, in order to get perfect results.

Macro Photos

There are a few tips that may need to know to people who are new or want to try the macro picture, namely:

1. Try using a tripod to avoid out of focus, given the sharp space on macro lenses tend to be very narrow, slide 1 mm the effect is real.

2. Use the flash, so the results are satisfactory, given the macro picture we tend to use small diagfrahma openings for sharp space could be more widespread.

3. Selection of a good time to take pictures of insects, ie early morning or late afternoon.More recommended for early morning flying insect has not been too active and it is easy to shoot. in this case we will be freer in the exploration of the composition.

4. Use a special macro lens for best results and sharp so that the image quality is really a macro!

Photos Couple

Couple photos is not much different from wedding photos, because they want to create the most beautiful moment to photograph.

it’s just that, couple photos of mostly couples that like the teenagers who had been dating, how they create the most beautiful moment in the photo, to be a memorable photo.

Explanation of the Light and Metering

The professional photographer before taking pictures, they always measure light with a special tool called Light Meter. This tool is a light-sensitive sensor and can count the number of shutter and aperture values for various situations, either bright or dark. Necessarily the same light as measured by the light of the object (called the incident light) and become the benchmark how bright the ambient light at that time. That so-called metering, according to the professional photographer.

We are accustomed to using modern and versatile automatic camera certainly strange with similar gear. Because in the modern cameras are available that facilitate and metering facilities are also available various metering modes such as Center Weighted or Spot metering. DSLR cameras even capable of displaying a light meter scale on the LCD screen (and in the viewfinder) so as to indicate whether the shutter and aperture settings that we set in accordance with the measurement camera (see picture below).

For most cases, the camera is capable of metering equipment to replace the function light meter that expensive special. When using an automatic camera (camera phones, pocket cameras, etc.), metering the camera will start working when the LCD screen displays pictures and continuously evaluate the condition of light until the shutter button is pressed half. When the button is pressed half, metering will be locked (AE lock) and also auto focus (AF-lock) until the button is fully pressed before photos are taken. The majority of photos taken by automatic mode gives the right exposure. In some cases there are times when metering is missed, a little dark or too bright, we can compensate with the Exposure Compensation to the minus or plus.

Beginning at first birth of a word, PHOTOGRAPHY.

Beginning photography comes from the Greek.
-Fos, which means light.
-Grafo, which means the paint.
That means painting with the help of light. Photography is the process of producing a picture or photograph the object by recording the reflection of light on the object. The camera, a tool to catch the light. without light, a photo will not be visible, allowing the dark.

Photography has a principle, namely memokuskan light with the help of refraction so as to set fire to medium light catcher. Lens, is a medium that had been burned with light luminitas exact size will produce identical image with refraction of light entering the medium.

Now photography has grown, the cameras are in production, have the expertise of sophisticated, so it can produce bright images with high ISO without noise.

Understanding what the Rules Of Thirds?

Before taking pictures, we must know what the rules of thirds.

What Rules of Thirds?
The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine the image into three (both horizontally and vertically) so you have 9 parts. As follows:

When you take a picture, imagine in the mind, you see the grid when you shoot. With the grid in mind 'the rules of thirds' now identifies four important parts of the image that you should consider placing points of interest in as you frame your picture
one example:

In learning how to use a third rule, the most important question to ask yourself is:



What places of interest in this shot?


Where do I put them?


Keeping in mind the rules of thirds when you edit your photos in the future. Post production editing tools today have good tools for cropping and reframing images so they fit within the rules. Experiment with some of your old pictures to see what the impact might be on your photo.
