Mastering Digital SLR Cameras Is Mastering Photography Itself
There are a lot of amateur as well as professional camera users who are shifting to digital models for much ease, convenience, and efficiency when taking initial pictures, taking more pictures after deleting some, and finally sharing photos to friends or storing them into the computer.
Before we get involved in the digital photography world, we should know some of the basic knowledge about digital camera first no matter you are a beginner or professional photographer.
1.) Classes Of Cameras
Cameras can be categorized into:
a. Ultra compact with no flash mode
b. Prosumer or compact for hobbyists
c. Digital SLR cameras that have lenses, tripod, and external flashes; for professionals
If you want to master the art of photography, it is suggested that you master using the third category. Models that fall under this category are priced for their resolution, among other things.
2.) Mega pixels
Megapixels can be labeled into:
a. Low megapixels camera for basic snapshots
b. Average megapixels to produce images that have good print quality
c. High megapixels to produce the images that can be easily manipulated; larger print sizes can be made
3.) Zoom
A zoom function is normally listed into two:
a. Optical zoom factor that relies on what is distant appears closer by magnifying the light entering through the main lens
b. Digital zoom factor that magnifies the resulting image
Quality photographs depend mostly on the optical zoom factor.
4.) Storage Media
These are the some typical storage types:
a. Compact Flash (for compact and DSLRs)
b. Sony Memory Stick (compatible with other Sony appliances)
c. Smart Media
Storage sizes normally range from 64 K, which can store 3 dozen mega pixel images; 1G can store about 500 images with the same megapixels
5.) Carrying Case
You should keep the camera and its accessories in place.
6.) Tripod
Tripod can be used when setting the timer mode on and keeping the focus stable.
7.) Lenses and Filters
Many digital cameras feature the interchangeable lens to aid us to get the best image.
Lenses can be organized as follows:
a. Macro lens that makes it possible for you to get closer to objects like insects and flowers
b. Wide-angle lens that is used for capturing landmarks, and large and wide sceneries
c. Telephoto lens that enables longer zooms that let you get close to objects that are rather unsafe
Filters, on the other hand are used to:
a. Soften the effect of the image
b. Provide blurring on the edges for portraits that have sensitive moods
c. Add light flares for the image to be more dramatic
d. To reduce glare so that pictures appear more saturated, crisp, and vivid.
Here are some basic approaches on how to capture an image:
1. Holding the camera
You should hold the camera steadily and keep your spare fingers from interfering with the lens. This skill usually takes a few practices.
2.) Focusing
To keep the camera from shuddering, it is better to half-press the camera until you are able to lock your view on the focus before completely pressing the button of the shutter.
You may also use a tripod for better focusing.
3.) Previewing
Take and retake pictures if necessary after previewing them in your LCD screen.
4.) Archiving
Keep an album of your best photographs so that you can refer to them as you keep on working your way to being great photographers.
In summary, we can easily master the digital SLR camera if we follow the guidelines above. We can start to capture every single moment of our lives with the top quality images now.
