Into the shoot!

Well its not like i am going to shoot with gun, but with a camera instead. I've been into photographs for the past 4 yrs, yet I found it like a celestial world to relieve my real world. lazy me, i hardly use manual mode and read fancy photograph manual or book....

Instead..i love being on the photograph too...narcist me..

here are the basics know of using a DSLR camera. the article taken from here


So you have a camera – a DSLR at that. Now you say you’re a photographer? Hold it right there! A good camera doesn’t ensure a good shot.

Or, all you have is a point-and-shoot digital camera but you’re getting Likes here and there. Was it luck or are you doing something right? Chances are that if 39 of those 45 shots got you feedback, you have a hidden talent up your sleeve that the Automatic function can’t take away. 

 1. Shutter Speed

What it is: Shutter speed is the time value of your shot measured in fractions of a second.

What it REALLY is: This is the amount of time your camera lens takes in the scene and translates it into a shot. This is the “seeing” time of your camera.

What to do with it: The higher the number (actually the denominator) of your shutter speed, the faster it is, which means you capture more motion.

A low shutter speed results in the blurring of your image, sometimes referred to as “camera shake”. If you ever wanted to write or play with light, though, shutter speed is the knob to turn.
 
Tip: The “Bulb” mode is a point-and-shoot option that allows you to keep the shutter open for as long as you hold the shutter button down. Some “Night Scene” settings in digital cameras have this option as well.

2. Aperture

What it is: Aperture is the size of the lens opening while the picture is being shot.

What it REALLY is: It controls the amount of light that enters the camera and the depth of field, or focus.

What to do with it: This is indicated by the “f/number” code where “f/higher number” will give less light and a wide depth of field and “f/lower number” will give more light and a narrow depth of field. A wide depth of field puts everything in the picture in focus while a narrow depth of field, well, narrows into just a part of the image.

Tip: Check out your digital camera’s macro mode! This automatic setting focus on a narrow depth of field for subjects that are very close to the camera. (Clue: The option is usually indicated by a flower symbol.)

3. ISO

What it is, and REALLY is: ISO is the camera sensitivity to light.

What to do with it: The darker it is, the better it will be to use a higher number of ISO. The higher the number of ISO, however, the grainier the quality of your photograph.

Tip: The grainy quality of a shot is also referred to as “noise”. In no-flash situations, usually indoors, a high ISO will be needed.
