FOCUSING

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.

 

 

HOW TO AVOID NOISE ON PICTURES

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.

HOLDING A CAMERA THE PROPER WAY

 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)

CANON EOS REBEL T4I

 CANON EOS REBEL T4I

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?

  • Someone who is new to the world of photography
  • A person that wants to play with the camera/explore it’s features
  • Someone who is looking for a camera on the cheaper side (still good quality)
  • Anyone who thinks they are not ready for a higher quality and more expensive camera

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.

In my last blog I posted a list of my favorite photography gear. In the list you will see the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. This camera is the best camera for any photography occasion. Below are reasons supporting my opinion.

  • Not only does is have more light settings but it also has more ISO options, it ranges from 100-25,600, way more than the t6i
  • This camera also a resolution  of 1080p for videos
  • Two slots for a SD and CF card
  • 3.2″ screen that makes it easier to view and manage the settings
  • The best thing is that its a professional camera that only weighs 2 lbs, this makes it easier to carry the camera without a problem.

Basic Settings to Shoot on a Canon

I find it better to shoot manual(M) but that’s just one of many setting to choose. Find the one that best fits for you. Lets get started.

  1. Shutter speed: The shutter speed lets you control how fast or slow you want to capture a picture. The higher it is the slower it will close, if its lower it will close fast. If you want to catch someone in action (running, jumping, falling) a lower speed is better. A high shutter speed will help for someone standing still because it takes longer.

  2. ISO: The ISO is simple: The lower it is the darker the picture, and the higher it is the lighter the picture. If you have a really high ISO then the picture will be noisy.

  3. F-stop: This is found in between the shutter speed and ISO, it has an “F” and a number. The lower the number the less objects it will focus on. For example if you wanted to take a picture of a group the f-stop would be higher.

  4. lighting settings: On the picture you can see “AWB” when you click on it it gives you various options depending on the lighting you will want to choose one. EX: Tungsten- Yellow light Fluorescent: White light AWB- Auto Settings (On some cameras, K- dark indoor lighting, used for concerts and other similar events.
