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.

 

 

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)

WHEN SHOULD YOU USE A TRIPOD?

 CANON TRIPOD 

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?

  • 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.
