13 C oncepts in Photograph y Holding the camera Hold the camera with your right hand and place y our right index nger on the shutter button. Place y our left hand under the lens for support. Shooting postures A correct posture for stabilizing the camer a is necessary for tak ing a good photo .
14 Concepts in Phot ography Standing photogr aphy Compose your shot , stand up straight with your f eet shoulder-length apar t, and keep your elbow s pointed down. Crouching photog raphy Compose your shot , crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep a straight posture .
15 Concepts in Phot ography Aper ture The aperture is one of the three factors that determine the exposure . The aper ture housing contains thin, metal pla tes that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera.
16 Concepts in Phot ography Aperture value and the depth of eld Y ou can blur or sharpen the backgr ound of a photo by contr olling the aper ture . It is closely related to the depth of eld (DOF), which can be expressed as small or large . A photo with a large DOF A photo with a small DOF The aperture housing contains several blades.
17 Concepts in Phot ography Shutter speed Shutter speed ref ers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter . It controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it r eaches the image sensor . Usually , the shutter speed is manually adjustable.
18 Concepts in Phot ography ISO sensitivity The exposure of an image is det ermined by the sensitivity of the camera. This sensitivity is based on international lm standards , known as ISO standards. On dig ital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used to r epresent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the image.
19 Concepts in Phot ography How the aper ture setting , shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity control exposur e The aperture setting, shutter speed , and ISO sensitivity are closely interc onnected in photography .
20 Concepts in Phot ography Corr elation between f ocal length, angle, and perspective F ocal length, which is measured in millimeters , is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point . It aects the angle and perspec tive of captured images.
21 Concepts in Phot ography Depth of eld P or traits or still-life photos mostly ac claimed by people are the ones on which the background is out of f ocus so the subject looks pronounced. Depending on the focused areas , a photo can be blurred or sharpened.
22 Concepts in Phot ography 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 wide-angle lens with a shor t focal length is better to capture a phot o of a low DOF .
23 Concepts in Phot ography DOF preview Y ou can pr ess the Custom button t o get an idea of what your shot will look like before shooting . T he camera adjusts the aper ture to the pr edened settings and shows the results on the scr een. Set the function of the Custom butt on to Optical Preview .
24 Concepts in Phot ography Using the rule of thirds will cr eate photos with stable and compelling compositions. Below ar e a few examples . Photos with two subjects If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it cr eates an unbalanced composition.
25 Concepts in Phot ography When taking landscape photos, centering the horizon will cr eate an unbalanced eect. Give mor e weight to the photo b y moving the horizon up or down. Subject 1 Subject 2 Subject 1 Subject 2 Unstable Stable F lash Light is one of the most important components in photograph y .
26 Concepts in Phot ography Flash guide number The model number of a ash ref ers to the ash ’ s power , and the maximum amount of light creat ed is represent ed by a value known as a "guide number" . The bigger the guide number , the more light is emitted from the ash.
