Taking motion photography is easier than it seems. The only difficult thing is timing! In order to capture the image all you will need to do is have the shutter speed at about 1/250 and the ISO at about 3200 or lower depending on the lighting.
The most common error that new photographers make is taking an unfocused picture. The way to fix this is by setting your camera to Al FOCUS because this does not allow the camera to take a picture unless it is focused in one object. Also you will need to make sure that your focus point is placed on the object, usually it is in the middle.
When a picture has noise it means that it has these little grains on the picture and it make the quality of the picture bad.
This occurs when you take a picture with a high ISO, usually 6400+ and it varies on some cameras. It it most common in night/dark photography because usually you need more light at night.
This is a comparison between a clear and noisy image. To avoid a noisy image you want to try to shoot at a low ISO and use a lower shutter speed until the image is clear.
How to hold a camera the correct way
Over the course of my photography experience I have witnessed people holding a DSLR the wrong way. This of course bothers and scare me because they are holding 1000k+ in equipment. The correct way to hold a camera is: Use your right hand to hold the right side of the camera in case you need to fix any settings and use your left hand to hold the lens, placing the hand on the lens helps you zoom in or out and it helps with manual focus. (The picture above demonstrates the correct way to hold a camera)
When should you use a tripod?
Tripods are overseen by new photographers sometimes. Sometimes we might us ourselves “why use a tripod when I can use my hands?” Well the answer is because different situations and photography styles require image stabilization, when we use our hands, our hand shake and it usually happens because maybe the camera or lense is too heavy. Some heavier lense require a tripod because they are too heavy and could potentially break the camera since most of the weight is in the lense. Tripods are also good for videography so the video doesn’t come out blurry.
While it is not the best camera canon has made, it is a great starter camera. This camera is good and works great with any standard photography. Who is this camera best for?
p.s. don’t get me wrong this camera is great, I have used it before and I sometimes use it, but there are better cameras that canon has released.
Although this lens was not included in my blog post about the best photography gear, this lens is a beauty!!
Why is this lens so small but yet so expensive?
With the Fish eye lens by canon, you can take wonderful pictures! Why? Look Below.
