AjayBeny Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Am a beginner photographer. Since i am a multimedia student i was gifted a camera Which is a beginner's Camera, tried some shots with a standard 18-55 lens. Since i have posted this topic from my PC i had to download them from FB.. So the size is very low. Specs: 18-55 mm Lens ISO-400 Shutter speed 1/30 sec Aperture F5.6 I havent edited anything, Just added watermark Edited December 17, 2014 by Ajay1989 Quote

Xernicus Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Nice shots. I've got two tips that will help make your photos shine. Keep in mind that you need to vary the aperture depending on the distance. All three of those could've been shot in 2.4 or 3.2 for a better effect of depth (imo). You can adjust the shutter speed to compensate for light loss/gain. The sensitivity (ISO) starts to look grainy over 400, IMO- though I have seen some good shots taken with high ISO. See if your camera has a "low light" or "night" mode- it can help reduce artifacts caused by sensor overheating. I look forward to seeing some more! 2 Quote

Ol Smoke Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 For me, when I am shooting closeup work I use a softener and I try not to center the object too much. I like to make the observer's eye focus on the background but the front object gets in the way. The first thing to buy when starting photo work is a good oil dampened tripod and a release wire. 1 Quote

Thats a really good tip. I tend to think of it as having layers, as in having something to look in the foreground , then a background layer, and if you can have more layers in between it'd be even better. Quote
Ol Smoke Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Just Simple Picture That I Took At Night With My Nikon Wide Angle 14-24 f2.8 In this picture there isn't anything to hold your intrigue to what the photographer is trying to say with the photo. So, imo if I were to take this picture, I would use white cardboard and do something with the light from those ground lights. Redirect the light until you get something that looks breathtaking to you. Like, move the light into a nearby tree or something. Instead of having all the light on the tower. Try getting more light to the clock and focus on it and let the tower just be there in the twilight effect. Maybe use a prism filter to get some color out of the lights. One really good shot of things like this that reach into the darkness of the sky, is to time lapse the shot so you are shooting 2 to 4 secs. You might pick up a star streak to highlight the effect or even a passing meteorite. That would be cool. Quote
