The 6 Things To Know ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

C . E . L . L . ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Composition ,[object Object],[object Object],A good photograph is a subject , a context , and nothing else . Remove any clutter that detracts from your message. Get closer -- zoom in -- and crop as tightly as possible

Composition ,[object Object],[object Object],The center of the frame is the weakest place -- it's static, dull, and gives no value to the context. The more you move the subject away from the center , the more relevance you give to the context unless it’s a reflection

Composition ,[object Object],[object Object],Create impact by using frames and real or inferred lines that lead the viewer's eye into and around the picture

Composition ,[object Object],[object Object],Create impact by photographing your subjects from unexpected angles. Imagine yourself as an electron spinning around the subject, which is the nucleus of an atom

Exposure ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Aperture : General Rules and tips ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Aperture ,[object Object],[object Object],When shooting a landscape , as much of the photograph in sharp focus as possible (f11 to f22). In a portrait , shallower dof (f2.8-8) will isolate your subject from distracting backgrounds

Shutter speed : General Rules and tips ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Shutter Speed ,[object Object],[object Object],Absolutely sharp images are not always the best. They can look static and dull. At slow shutter speeds the camera blurs the image of moving objects, and can create a more convincing image of movement .

ISO: General Rules and tips ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

ISO Setting ,[object Object],[object Object],ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor . The lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain . ISO 100 ISO 3200

Lens ,[object Object],[object Object],Wide-angle lenses allow more of a picture to be captured (need focal point ) while telephoto lenses tighten the scene and isolate the subject (but affect the depth of field & increase camera shake )

Light ,[object Object],[object Object],The indiscriminate blast of flash destroys the intimate mood of existing light

Light ,[object Object],[object Object],The use of frontal flash lighting tends to flatten faces. Use side lighting as much as possible, even moving your subject, if necessary, next to a window.

Light ,[object Object],[object Object],Overhead sun creates dark eye sockets and unattractive shadows , which can be reduced by using a flash. Use fill-in flash also for situations where the subject is backlit (camera auto exposure will be confused)

Passion is in all great searches and is necessary to all creative endeavors. W. Eugene Smith I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting. Harry Callahan
