13 Concepts in Photography Standing photography Compose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder -length apart, and keep your elbows pointed down. Shooting postur es A correct postur e for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a good photo.
14 Concepts in Photography Crouching photography Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the gr ound, and keep a straight posture. Apertur e The aperture, a hole that contr ols the amount of light that enters the camera, is one of the three factors that determine the exposur e.
15 Concepts in Photography The size of the aperture is r epresented by a value known as an “F-number .” The f-number repr esents the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a 50 mm focal length has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm.
16 Concepts in Photography Shutter speed Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter , and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes thr ough the aperture befor e it reaches the image sensor .
17 Concepts in Photography ISO sensitivity The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the camera. This sensitivity is based on international film standards, known as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used to repr esent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the image.
18 Concepts in Photography How the apertur e setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity contr ol exposure The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity ar e closely interconnected in photography .
19 Concepts in Photography Corr elation between focal length, angle, and perspective Focal length, which is measured in millimeters, is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and perspective of captured images.
20 Concepts in Photography Depth of field Portraits or still-life photos mostly acclaimed by people are the ones on which the background is out of focus so the subject looks pr onounced. Depending on the focused areas, a photo can be blurr ed or sharpened.
21 Concepts in Photography DOF depends on focal length The longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens with a longer focal length than a telescope lens with a short focal length is better to capture a photo of a low DOF .
22 Concepts in Photography DOF preview Y ou can use the Custom button to get an idea of what your shot will look like before shooting. When you pr ess the button, the camera adjusts the aperture to the pr edefined settings and shows the results on the screen.
23 Concepts in Photography Using the rule of thirds will cr eate photos with stable and compelling compositions. Below are a few examples. Photos with two subjects If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced composition.
24 Concepts in Photography Flash Light is one of the most important components in photography . It’ s not easy , however , to have an enough amount of light anytime and anywhere. Making use of a flash allows you to optimize light settings and create a variety of ef fects.
25 Concepts in Photography Bounce Photography Bounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light of f of the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads evenly over the subject. Normally , photos captured with flash may appear unnatural and cast shadows.
