When starting photography for the
first time and some time after, there will be a fairly rapid development
whether realized or not. It can be observed from our work / the pictures that
have been produced, must be found some improvement from the beginning we take
pictures until after some time later. The following tips will help us improve
our photography skills more quickly:
1. Change of Vision.
When we are serious with photography
then our vision will also change, which will not see the same way again. Every
picture we see will be able to tell a story, all the advantages or
possibilities it lacks. When viewing the movie we will also observe what
technique is used so that the video looks so interesting. Hunting for good
pictures can change our lifestyle, like getting up early to get a sunrise where
the sky will appear rich in color which is a special moment in photography. We
will also be familiar with analyzing a photo, from where the light comes and which
angle to use.
2. It Is an Expensive Hobby.
Photography is an expensive pastime,
first camera purchase then lens, tripod, flash, as well as other accessories
worth thousands of dollars. This is certainly different from pocket camera /
pocket, camera phone. The lens is the next accessory we will buy, because no
lens is suitable for all situations. For example portrait photography is
recommended using fast lenses with wide aperture openings, eg f / 1.4, for
landscape using wide-angle lens, as well as for sport and wildlife using tele /
super tele valuable lenses in such expensive.
3. Use manual mode.
Manual mode is an unlimited creative
mode. Unlike the auto settings, which certainly makes no difference compared to
using a pocket camera, manual mode allows us to replace the shutter speed,
aperture and ISO with as they pleased. All three are determinants of the amount
of light entering the sensor or commonly called triangle exposure. Semi-manual
mode is also very commonly used such as auto aperture and auto shutter speed
that helps us in certain situations such as landscape photography that usually
prioritizes shutter speed, or portrait photography that usually prioritizes
aperture opening.
4. Take The Time.
Without taking the time, we will not
be able to improve our photography skills. Try every day to operate the camera
and take pictures. Lots of challenge on the internet that can be followed and
put into practice. A day through the operation of the camera will be very
unfortunate.
5. Ignore F stop.
F stop is a mathematical count for
exposure. Trying to remember the number f stop, summing it up or trying to
formulate it is a waste of time that is basically not very necessary. More
importantly we learn about the exposure triangle, how the three will be related
and affect each other. Again do not worry about Fstop calculations, but focus
on balancing lighting, and many other things you can learn like light,
background and subject poses.
6. Priority lenses.
Do not be confused in buying lenses.
One of the most important lenses that are widely used and can be used in many
conditions, including low light or fast moving subjects is not a broom lens,
but prime lens with wide aperture openings, such as a 50 mm f / 1.8 or f / 1.4
canon lens. The lens in addition to small size is also able to produce so
that the picture is more focused and artistic. Another thing if we are more
professional and choose a particular path eg wildlife photography which of
course need to use long focal length like 500 mm.
7. Use a Tripod.
Tripod is the main accessory in
photography. DSLR cameras allow the use of a slow shutter speed so it is
necessary to use a tripod to avoid blur. In low light conditions such as night,
especially for landscape photography tripod become a mandatory accessory to get
sharp images. Tripod also serves to support the camera, because it is quite
heavy when we always hold a DSLR camera in a shooting session. Another function
is for selfie, where we can use the timer / commonly called self portrait.
8. Lots of Reading About Photography.
These words are not only in school,
but they are needed to improve photography skills. Internet becomes a cheap and
easy media in getting the source of knowledge.
9. Knowing Various Compositions.
The composition is similar to the formula
to produce a good image. Call it the composition of the rule of third, the rule
of space, negative space, odd composition, triangle composition etc are many
more.
10. Editing.
Editing is a final touch to an image.
Whether it's just cropping or changing exposure, editing is necessary. 2 most
common software and we need to master is adobe Photoshop for editing and adobe
premiere for file management as well as doing minor editing.
