Choosing the Best Camera  •Not a once in a lifetime purchase anymore. •Select one which can do the job you want  Today and as per your future requirement •Some kinds of cameras do. some kinds of things better or more easily  e.g., Sports photography vs. Close-up portraits. •Price isn’t the best indicator.

MEGAPIXEL MYTH How much do you need?  •Often, cameras are categorized by the no. of  Megapixels they can capture . •As if that resolution figure is the only measure  of the camera’s value. •This value can be quite misleading.
ZOOM: OPTICAL AND DIGITAL Optical vs. Digital Zoom  •An optical zoom uses the optics (lens) of the digital  camera to move you closer to your subject. •A digital zoom simply enlarges the existing image  digitally. It is not really zoom, in the strictest definition  of the term. •Enlarging the image digitally reduces picture quality,  and should therefore usually be avoided .  •Some manufacturers label their lenses with the "total  zoom" by multiplying the optical with the digital.  Ignore It. •When comparing digital cameras:  Go for higher optical zoom. Digital zoom can always be  achieved later in an image editing software.
For megapixels you should keep in mind the following things What you plan to do with the photos you take:  8 x 10” Photo Prints or. 20 x 30” Posters  •Do most of the photos you take end up as  your wallpaper on networking sites
RESOLUTION AND PRINT SIZES
Do you plan to manipulate your photos? Are you a photo hobbyist? How often do you plan to upgrade?
PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNICALITY Anti-BlurAnti-ShakeImage StabilizationVibration Reduction •A technology that stabilizes the lens to  effectively reduce blur due to camera shake
HISTOGRAM
METERING How the camera measures the amount of light  available to expose a picture  •Centre-Weighted: Readings are taken at  various part of the picture, with a special  emphasis for the centre. •Spot: Readings are taken at a specific point. •Each camera manufacturer has its own  variations (Evaluative Metering)
WHITE BALANCE The ability to adjust colours based on white as  a reference colour to give as true a white as  possible  •All other colours are corrected accordingly •Auto WB (AWB): the camera determines and  selects the correct colour temperature for  white.
WHITE BALANCE Some preset white balance settings are  daylight, cloudy, tungsten, or fluorescent.
[ Ev +/-] Exposure-Compensation
Aperture, Depth of Field, Shutter Speed, ISO, Noise  APERTURE a hole or an opening  through which  light travels  It causes variations in  the Depth of Field  within the image

Shutter Speed •Amount of time the  picture is exposed •Short/Fast shutter speed •Long/Slow shutter speed

RESULTS OF VARYING SHUTTER SPEED
USING THE TECHNIQUE OF… PANNING
Which shutter speed is the best
ISO  •the measure of a digital camera sensor’s  sensitivity to light •a higher number indicates higher sensitivity  •This is usually expressed as a range,  e.g. ISO 100 - 1600. •A higher sensitivity allows us to take pictures  in low light without using flash •Higher ISO causes more "noise" than lower  ISO
ISO 100
ISO 1600
Digital photography Know your camera. Know your photography. Know how to use an image editor.
Exposure triangle
Photography modes
Shutter Priority  Shutter Priority:       Allows you to decide the shutter speed (e.g. fast at 1/500 sec. for stop action photography, or slow at 2 sec. for night photography), and the camera decides the best aperture.
Aperture Priority  Aperture Priority:      Allows you to choose the aperture (e.g. large at F1.8 for portrait, of small at F16 for landscapes).
Manual  You have complete creative control in selecting both the shutter and aperture.
Auto  All digital cameras usually have an Auto mode: the camera decides for you the best shutter speed/aperture settings.  AUTO
Landscape photography Primary function is to allow a large depth of field. Landscape mode tells the camera to default to a  large Depth of Field (Small Aperture)–f16.
Portrait Photography  This mode is not well suited for full-length  portraits or groups of people  Portrait mode tells the camera to default to a:  •Small Depth of Field (Large Aperture)– f1.8
Sports/Action Photography  tells the camera to default its settings toward  capturing images faster  This is done by:  •Increasing Shutter Speed  •Increasing ISO
Night Photography  This preset slows down the shutter speed to  allow a lot of light into the camera. •Both the foreground and background of the image are properly exposed. •very useful in taking low-light  images where you do not want  the background to be black
Macro Photography  This setting works with your camera lens to allow it to focus from a very short distance.  •Depth of Field becomes very Small  (Large Aperture)– f1.8  •Does not have a lot of alternative uses.
Why compose your images?  Create the picture. Decide what is in and what is left out. “Convince” the eye to glance at it  moment longer. “Composition" means "Putting Together"
Rule  Of  Thirds
Rule of thirds  The theory is that your photo becomes more  balanced and will enable a viewer of the  image to interact with it more naturally. People’s eyes usually go to one of the  intersection points most naturally rather than  the centre of the shot. It works with this natural way of viewing an  image rather than working against it
Important to experiment to overcome the natural  tendency to centre everything. •But, sometimes you may find situations where it's  difficult to follow the rule of thirds. •If you know why you're doing it -feel free! •But when you're first starting out it's a good idea  to try to follow it whenever you can.
Converging composition  leads the viewer’s eye into the depth of the  Photo. Usually, centre it and create a symmetrical  composition leading to the centre.
Camera lens filters still have many uses in digital photography, and should be an important part of any photographer's camera bag....Here is the major filters and their function...1 - Protective Filters     UV Filters - Absorbs ultraviolet rays. Gives cleaner, sharper pictures with less haze. Also serves as a permanent lens protector. Personally, i have a UV filter on every lens :)
Polarizing Filters  -Neutral Density Filters  Special Effects Filters Close-up - For close-up photography. they come as a kit with many magnifications 2X,4X,.... Colored Filters
EXIF (exchangeable image file) EXIF (exchangeable image file) data is a record of what camera settings were used to take a photograph.EXIF data stores information like camera model, exposure, aperture, ISO, what camera mode was used .....To interpret this EXIF data, you will need an EXIF viewer. There are many ways to go about this. Your image processing program should provide that functionality within the program.For beginners, reading an images EXIF data can be a very useful learning tool....
Night photography      Take a number of shots at different shutter speed/aperture combinations.Ensure your LCD brightness is set to Normal, not Bright, for a truer representation of your recorded image. A good aperture to start with is F4.0 or F5.6 (for greatest depth of field), and adjust shutter speed up or down until you're satisfied with the shot. Always bring and use a tripod. It's quite common to have exposures of an entire second or more during night-time photography.      Bring along a flashlight. A pocket flashlight is essential when you're doing photography at night.
Minimalistic photography Minimalistic photos is creating ‘empty’ spaces in the photograph....The eye of the person looking at the image can’t help but be drawn to the element of the image you’ve taken.... the subject! “make your subject the strongest point of your photo even though it might take up only a small part of the overall image”....When I’m attempting to take a show with a minimalist feel to it I keep those words in mind.pick subjects wisely experiment with color use depth of fieldcrop out distractionsZoom In or out...
try new angles. •When taking pictures of  live objects, try to be at  eye’s level with the  subject. If we are higher– itdiminishes them, if weare lower– it augmentsthem
Thank you

  • 49. Auto All digital cameras usually have an Auto mode: the camera decides for you the best shutter speed/aperture settings. AUTO
  • 50. Landscape photography Primary function is to allow a large depth of field. Landscape mode tells the camera to default to a large Depth of Field (Small Aperture)–f16.
  • 51. Portrait Photography This mode is not well suited for full-length portraits or groups of people Portrait mode tells the camera to default to a: •Small Depth of Field (Large Aperture)– f1.8
  • 52. Sports/Action Photography tells the camera to default its settings toward capturing images faster This is done by: •Increasing Shutter Speed •Increasing ISO
  • 53. Night Photography This preset slows down the shutter speed to allow a lot of light into the camera. •Both the foreground and background of the image are properly exposed. •very useful in taking low-light images where you do not want the background to be black
  • 54. Macro Photography This setting works with your camera lens to allow it to focus from a very short distance. •Depth of Field becomes very Small (Large Aperture)– f1.8 •Does not have a lot of alternative uses.
  • 55. Why compose your images? Create the picture. Decide what is in and what is left out. “Convince” the eye to glance at it moment longer. “Composition" means "Putting Together"
  • 56. Rule Of Thirds

  • 58.
  • 59. Rule of thirds The theory is that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally. People’s eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally rather than the centre of the shot. It works with this natural way of viewing an image rather than working against it

Important to experiment to overcome the natural tendency to centre everything. •But, sometimes you may find situations where it's difficult to follow the rule of thirds. •If you know why you're doing it -feel free! •But when you're first starting out it's a good idea to try to follow it whenever you can.
  • 64. Converging composition leads the viewer’s eye into the depth of the Photo. Usually, centre it and create a symmetrical composition leading to the centre.

  • 66. Camera lens filters still have many uses in digital photography, and should be an important part of any photographer's camera bag....Here is the major filters and their function...1 - Protective Filters UV Filters - Absorbs ultraviolet rays. Gives cleaner, sharper pictures with less haze. Also serves as a permanent lens protector. Personally, i have a UV filter on every lens :)
  • 67. Polarizing Filters -Neutral Density Filters Special Effects Filters Close-up - For close-up photography. they come as a kit with many magnifications 2X,4X,.... Colored Filters
  • 68. EXIF (exchangeable image file) EXIF (exchangeable image file) data is a record of what camera settings were used to take a photograph.EXIF data stores information like camera model, exposure, aperture, ISO, what camera mode was used .....To interpret this EXIF data, you will need an EXIF viewer. There are many ways to go about this. Your image processing program should provide that functionality within the program.For beginners, reading an images EXIF data can be a very useful learning tool....
  • 69. Night photography Take a number of shots at different shutter speed/aperture combinations.Ensure your LCD brightness is set to Normal, not Bright, for a truer representation of your recorded image. A good aperture to start with is F4.0 or F5.6 (for greatest depth of field), and adjust shutter speed up or down until you're satisfied with the shot. Always bring and use a tripod. It's quite common to have exposures of an entire second or more during night-time photography. Bring along a flashlight. A pocket flashlight is essential when you're doing photography at night.
  • 70. Minimalistic photography Minimalistic photos is creating ‘empty’ spaces in the photograph....The eye of the person looking at the image can’t help but be drawn to the element of the image you’ve taken.... the subject! “make your subject the strongest point of your photo even though it might take up only a small part of the overall image”....When I’m attempting to take a show with a minimalist feel to it I keep those words in mind.pick subjects wisely experiment with color use depth of fieldcrop out distractionsZoom In or out...
