This beginner blog is designed for beginners and will cover all the basics of photography from understanding your camera settings to composition and lighting. This guide is packed with easy-to-follow tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of your camera and start creating professional photos. It’s designed to help you understand the basics of photography and will give you the tools to start taking great photos today. So grab your camera, and let’s start exploring with your camera on Manual mode.
Step 1
Shoot on manual and Learn the basics of exposure
Understanding aperture, shutter speed, and ISO is essential for quality professional photos.
Aperture controls the amount of light that enters the camera.
Shutter speed controls the length of time that the light is allowed in.
ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera’s sensor to light.
Aperture controls the amount of light that enters the camera. A larger aperture allows more light to enter the camera, which is useful in low light situations. It also allows for a shallow depth of field, which means that the subject is in focus but the background is blurred, creating a bokeh effect.
A smaller aperture allows less light to enter the camera and is useful in bright light situations. It also creates a deeper depth of field, which means that more of the image is in focus.
Aperture is measured in f-stops. A lower f- stop number, such as f/1.4 represents a larger aperture, while a higher f-stop number, such as f/22, represents a smaller aperture.
Example of using a lower F- stop
Shutter speed controls the length of time that the camera’s shutter is open, allowing light to reach the sensor. Shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second. A faster shutter speed, such as 1/1000th of a second, will freeze motion in an image, while a slower shutter speed, such as 1/25th of a second, can create a sense of motion by blurring moving objects.
When using a fast shutter speed, the aperture must be adjusted to let less light in, and when using a slow shutter speed, the aperture must be adjusted to let more light in. This is to ensure that the image is correctly exposed.
Shutter speed also affects the look of an image, a faster shutter speed will freeze motion while a slower shutter speed will create motion blur.
Fast shutter speed Low shutter speed
Example of fast shutter speed
ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera’s sensor to light. A lower ISO number, such as 90, represents a lower sensitivity to light and will create less noise or grain in the image. A higher ISO number, such as 2,500, represents a higher sensitivity to light and will produce more noise or grain in the image.
When using a lower ISO, the aperture and shutter speed must be adjusted to let more light in, and when using a higher ISO, the aperture and shutter speed must be adjusted to let less light in.
A low ISO is great for shooting midday, and a high ISO is great for low-light situations.
Example of high ISO
Buy a good camera and Practice, practice, practice!
While a good camera don’t guarantee a professional and perfect photo, it can definitely get you in the right direction of making professional high quality content.
