 How to Take Pictures Like a Pro in Five Simple Steps Focus on the Dominant Eye- When taking pictures, it is important to remember to have a visual focus, so that the part of the photo which you want to emphasize is the sharpest part of the image. This philosophy has a tendency to go south when doing close-up portrait photography, because we get too close for the lens, and end up with a blurry picture. Stop Moving Around-some people have a nasty habit of moving around way too much, trying to getting in touch with their inner Mario Casilli. The purpose of a fast shudder speed is to freeze all motion, because unless motion is eliminated from the shot, your photos are going to turn out blurry. Ideally, if you are taking photographs of fast-moving action, you want a very fast shudder (like the ones used in sports photography). If you don't have fancy equipment, a tripod will help eliminate the blur from camera shake, so that any blurring comes from the motion itself, which usually makes for a better result. Wipe Off Their Grin-It never fails, every time you point a camera at someone in an attempt to take a picture of a priceless moment, they immediately flash a fake smile. In all actuality, a smile is not always necessary, depending on the subject matter of the photo. As a photographer, you are the director of your shots, and you will sometimes need to dictate demands like "wipe that silly smile off your face" or "please for the love of god put down the 'I Heart NY' bag." Utilize Natural Night-People who rely solely on the flash of the camera to provide their photographic lighting should be tarred and feather. Okay, maybe that's a bit extreme, but flash is a pretty cut-rate lighting method with a short range of effectiveness, and the harsh white lighting has a bad habit of washing out your subject Gain Some Exposure-Rather than relying on Lightroom to resolve all of your exposure issues after the photo shoot, it is in the best interest of your photographs (and your time) to shoot for obtaining perfect exposure with your camera. This is why photographers spend time with light meters before they begin to shoot -- professionals know that the time you invest in setup saves you lots of time in post-production, and the same goes for home photography. Plus, while this may not always be the quickest method for taking pictures, you will begin to produce vastly superior images.

Mode Dial •used on digital camera to change the camera's mode. •On point-and-shoot cameras which support modes a range of scene types is offered. •The more compact point-and-shoot cameras, and cameras offering a great many modes, do not have mode dials, using menus instead. •Most digital cameras, including dSLR and SLR-like cameras, support modes, selectable either by a dial or from a menu. B. location of the dial •most of the dSLR and SLR - bridge camaras, the mode dial is located at the top of the camera, to the side of flash/viewfinder hump. •on point-and-shoot cameras, the mode dial location is less standard. • On other point-and-shoots, particularly those with a thin body, the dial is found on the back of the camera, often coupled with a menu-navigation button. Some thin cameras use a slide switch rather than a dial. C. Modes •Manual modes: Manual (M), Program (P), shutter priority (S), apeture priority (A) •auntomatic modes: auto, action, portrait, night portrait, macro, landscape D. Manual modes •P: Program mode offers the photographer partial control over shutter speed and aperture. •Av or A: Aperture value a.k.a. Aperture priority allows the photographer to control the aperture, while the shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are calculated by the camera. •Tv or S: Time value a.k.a. Shutter priority allows the photographer to control the shutter speed, while the aperture and ISO sensitivity are calculated by the camera. •Sv Sensitivity value allows the photographer to control the ISO sensitivity, while aperture and shutter speed are calculated by the camera (this is a Pentax DSLR feature) •M: Manual mode allows the photographer to control shutter speed, aperture and ISO independently. •U: User mode E. Automatic scene modes -In automatic modes the camera determines all aspects of exposure, choosing exposure parameters according to the application within the constraints of correct exposure, including exposure, aperture, focussing, light metering, white balance, and equivalent sensitivity •Action or sport mode increases ISO and uses a fast shutter speed to capture action. •Landscape mode uses a small aperture to gain depth of field. •Portrait mode widens the aperture to throw the background out of focus. The camera may recognise and focus on a human face. •Night portrait mode uses an exposure long enough to capture background detail, with fill-in flash to illuminate a nearby subject.

assignment for this week

POLARIZATION- an effect achieved by using a polarizing filter. it minimizes reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass and saturetes colors by removing glare. RAM- stands for random access memory, which is a computer's memory capacity, directly accessible from the central processing unit. RESOLUTION- the amount of data available for an imagine as apllied to imagine size. SATURATION- the intensily or richness of hue or color. SHARP- a term used to describe the quality of an image as clear, crisp, and perfectly focused, as opposed to fuzzy, obscure, or unfocused. SHUTTER- the apparatus that controls the amount of time during which lightis allowed to reach the sensitized medium. SLR- a camera with mirror that refelcts the image entering the lens through a pentaprism or pentamirror onto the viewfinder screen. STOP DOWN- to reduce size of the diaphragm opening by using a hgher f/number. STROBE- abbreviation for stroboscopic. an electronic light source that produce a series of evely spaced burts of light. TRIPOD- a three legged stand stabilized the camera and elimites camera shake caused by body movement or vibriation. USB- this interface standard allows outlying accessories to be plugged and unplugged from the computer while it is turned on. VR- a technology used in such photographic accessories as VR lens WIDE-ANGLE LENS- a lens that produces a greater angle view that you would see with your eyes, often causing the image to appear stretched. ZOOM LENS- a lens that can be adjusted to cover a wide range of focal lengths.
