Today is going to be a basic summary of what we have talked about so far. I’m assuming that these tips are for those that have a camera they can use in manual mode.
We have learned about ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture, and Depth of Field. I’m going to make some assumptions. I’m going to assume that if you are reading this you have children or family (including pets) or friends that you are photographing and that you want better day to day pictures of them.
ISO – keep it as low as possible to reduce graininess in the photo. Increase in low light
Shutter Speed – Increase the number on your camera (it’s actually a fraction not showing the top so you are really decreasing the number) for faster movement like children. Decrease the lower the light.
Aperture – these are your f-stops. The lower the number the smaller amount of the photo will be in focus. Don’t go too low most of the time or you’ll end up with just the nose in focus. 2.8 is my fav!
Please feel free to comment on this post to ask specific questions. Have a great Tuesday!
