Digital Camera Guide

How to Choosing a Camera Lens- In terms of selecting a lens, just like when we choose which camera we want to buy. Should indeed tailored to the type of photography we are wrestled.

Luckily for those who already know exactly where the lens is needed to support the photography. The most difficult is for those who can not determine his choice but is willing and capable to buy a new lens.

To help facilitate the selection of lenses, I am of its kind in four categories:

Standard lens

Measuring 50 mm in the light of the normal eye, usually has become a default package when we buy a DSLR camera. As my experience when I first started learning photography, this lens is a mainstay. If there are objects of interest, we have to back and forth to adjust the composition of the object. I myself longing for the return of photography as a hobby as it once was, it felt so good.

Wide angle lens

Measuring between 18mm to 35mm and the angle of view wider than standard lenses. It is suitable for those who like photographing the scenery or for those who like to experiment with wide-angle view, like the photos here.

Pixel and Image Sensor in Digital Camera -Looks like this topic megapixel never runs out to talk about. Primarily by the camera vendors are always lure consumers that the higher its lay a number megapixel camera the better the images it produces.

Also still love to feel annoyed if a time is being photographed and then someone asks, “how-megapixel camera, sir?” As if the only factor that determines good or megapixel images to be generated by a camera. But eventually I so understand themselves, that there is still much miss info about  megapixels.

For information, pixel is the smallest element in a digital image is represented by a dot. The higher the number of points contained in an image, the higher the resolution the better the quality of the digital image.

If the documentation you will only be stored in a PC or just want to print in postcard size, is actually a pocket 6-megapixel camera can produce good pictures.

It is more that will determine the image quality produced by a digital camera is the sensor. Sensors in digital cameras are like film negatives that translates light into the picture. Sensor size is larger and more influential than the quality of pixels in the process of producing a good image. Look explanation about image sensor/camera sensor in wiki.

Get to know your Camera-Lately our society is facilitated by the auto mode which is already available on every digital device has. Usually found on digital devices that can help facilitate the activities and the activities of modern humans in their daily lives. Be it television, air conditioners, washing machines and motorcycles.

Likewise with digital SLR cameras and digital compact cameras that we use. Auto mode on digital cameras gives us easy to anticipate if there is a moment of sudden we want to catch.

For those who love photography, this dependence on the auto mode of course is not recommended. In addition to reducing excess control on the camera and its features will also limit creativity in producing photographs.

Know and master the use of personal cameras can each be done by:

1. Read the manuals

Usually this activity is the most reluctant to do the fotomania. But by reading the manual we will have an overall picture of the workings, capabilities and strengths of our cameras.

2. Exploration of the camera

Try and test the capabilities of your camera. Try one by one all modes are available, determine the focus, adjust the speed and aperture, note the exposure, change the ISO sensitivity. Note any changes produced by observing the picture.

Reflectors for Photography-When photographing a model or a product and feel there are parts of the object is less  by the main light source but want a soft light to fill in where the presence of a reflector to reflect additional light is needed.

By type reflectors for photography can be divided into two types, namely:

- Natural Reflector
Reflector made of nature that surround us.
For example:
white sand reflect sunlight, the reflection of sunlight on the sea,
ponds or lakes, fields of white wall on a building.

- Artificial reflectors
Man-made reflector which was deliberately made for the purpose of photography.

* Artificial reflectors are divided into three types or surface color:

- Gold reflector.
usually used to give a warmer color effect on skin tone
human or model.

- Silver Reflector
used to illuminate the dark on the model or object to the effect that more
white or light a bit harsh.

- White Reflector
usually made of styrofoam, to give effect to the white color
more gently and evenly.

In addition to more frequently used in outdoor shooting was infrequently used for indoor shooting in order to produce a certain effect. For example the effect of ‘high key’ to the shooting style of his friends from Taiwan.
