Photography is my hobby

Photography is a good hobby. Pursuing a photo, you are guaranteed to openfor themselves completely new facets of life. Catch the elusive wings of butterfly wings or a formidable zipper, capture the gentle look of the mother or the enticing lips of a beloved woman - for this it is worth photographing.

A beginner may notsuch a difficult task, because modern digital technology is all ready to do it yourself. But the technique is only a tool in the hands of the master, without your help even the most "heaped" camera masterpiece will not remove.

Buy immediately a professional model tothen use in it only automatic functions - it is inappropriate. But to take the most primitive "soap box" is not worth it - its possibilities are too limited. Therefore, if you are a beginner photographer - take a semi-professional camera of the middle price range.

In a digital camera, one of the most important parameters is its resolution, the notorious "megapixels." Also important parameters are the aperture and shutter speed.

Excerpt Is the time during which the shutter is opencamera, the longer it is, the more light it gets to the picture. In standard inexpensive "soap boxes" the exposure is 60, i.e. 1/60 second. In more expensive professional models you have the opportunity to set the exposure yourself.

Diaphragm Is a hole of variable diameter that allowsAdjust the light flux passing through the lens. Its value is measured in relative units, for example, f / 22 or f / 1.4. And the aperture value and its real value are in inverse relationship: the wider the aperture, the smaller its numerical value.

Due to different combinations of shutter speed, aperture and sensitivity of the camera matrix, you can get a different exposition. In simple words, the expositiondetermines the brightness of the frame in relation to the scene being shot. Those. if the picture turned out to be as bright as the view you shot, then the exposure was chosen by you correctly.

There are many rules of literate constructioncomposition, selection of focal length, exposure time, etc. Everyone decides for himself whether he wants to "bite the granite of science" or to get down to practice as soon as possible.

Here are some useful tips for beginning photographers.

When photographing a landscape in a frame, you shouldleave a small detail that will "cling" viewer's view. It can be a twig or blade of grass in the foreground, a person. If you do not use this method, the pictures look flat and uninteresting.

In the picture there should be some story. If necessary, it is worth to come closer or use the zoom.

When photographing,so that the subject does not merge with the background, and avoid bright spots that distract the viewer from the main plot. If necessary, you can change the angle of the survey or select the object with a shadow.

It is not recommended to place the horizon linestrictly in the middle of the frame. It is best to look at pictures on which the horizon line is located at a distance of 1/3 from the top or bottom of the frame. Without special need, it is also not advisable to "tilt" the horizon line. Especially the slope of the surface of the reservoir looks loser.

A frame is recommended to be made symmetrical only in those cases when you really know why you need it, for example, to achieve a special effect.

Windows, arches, tree branches can serve as a natural "frame" of the image, helping to hide unwanted fragments or fill the empty space.

The left and right parts of the frame must balanceeach other, i. e. It is impossible to put a person on one side of a picture, and leave empty space on the other. Such a picture will look skewed, "overwhelmed".

In portrait photography, it is recommended that the model be placed as far from the background as possible, otherwise the photo may result in an ugly sharp shadow along the contour of the model.

When shooting, it is better not to use the frontlight, i. the one that falls on the model because of the back of the photographer - so the picture turns out too flat. It is better to use side light and side-to-back light.

To remove a close-up model is better from the eye level, and when shooting in full growth - from the level of the chest or waist. This will avoid the effect of "short legs".
