Basic things in Photography

 What is photography ? 

So what is photography ? Well this is a little hard question but I try to explain in a simple way . So, I think every beiginner photographer wants to know about this question. right ? So probably you can see lots of people grab their phone and take a selfie or maybe you told your friends to take a photo of your and your friend go to camera app and take a shot okay , so for me that's not photography means , well it's a kind of photography but not better or maybe it didn't stand your expectations. So, There are lots of thing matter in photography . Well as a beginner photographer maybe you don't understand all of the things but still you will get an interesting shot than an average person can't or a non photographer  .

What are the Basic things in Photography

In photography there are couple of few things that you need to keep in mind . 

1. Automode

Okay so, first of all you need to get out of your auto mode . Well if you are using smartphone in 2020 which means you are already using a smartphone okay that's not funny well my point is that current gen smartphone can take better photo in automode  but if you are using a Mirrorless or a DSLR  then you have to get out of your auto mode . That way you can turn your photos however you want . You can go little under exposed, you go little over exposed ,you can change iso ,you can change the aperture and so many other things too.  

2. Exposer

Secondly ,you have to keep in mind the exposer ,yes this one of the many things which is the most important part in photography . Again smartphone are using auto HDR mode which basically take the shadow part and the highlights part also so you can see details in shadow and the highlights area which looks  sometime great but not  but all the time .you have to keep the exposer level balanced so You can see the details in highlights and also in the shadow area . 

3. Aperture

Thirdly , it's the aperture . This is basically a hole in the lense which is controllable through the camera or sometimes manually . It actually control the light flow , how much light will hit the sensor . The more light the better the photo . It also gives you the background blur or shallow depth of field kind of look in your photo and that gives you a professional kind of look in your photos .

4 .  Shutter Speed

Fourthly , the shutter speed . It actually a small part infront of your image sensor , that close and open. So when you press the capture button the camere closed the shutter and open it up again in a fraction of time . It means you take a shot . The more it will take time to closed the shutter the more light will hit the image sensor . When you are capturing a non moving subject you can lower the shutter speed and when you are capturing high speed object then you have to increase the shutter speed . With this you become creative . 

5. Focus

Fifthly , it's the focus . It's also the main important thing in photography , right ? You get your exposer right , you set your shutter speed but the subject is out of focus . Then There's no meaning of that photo . Well in DSLR or Mirrorless the auto focus is great but in smartphone the it does not work properly . Then you can set your focus in manual mode and do it yourself. So, you always have to keep in mind that no matter what will happen you have to keep your subject in focus . 

6. ISO

Sixthly , none other than iso . This is actually the sensitivity of your camera's image sensor . So when you higer the sensitivity your sensor can capture more light but it increases grain in your photos and it will also lower the quality of your photos. Actually when you don't have enough light then you need to increase the iso so it can capture more light . But you have to keep in mind that when you have enough light you always lower your iso settings for better quality in your photos. 

7. White Balance

Seventhly , there is another things that you always have to keep in mind which is the White Balance . This is one of the things that can totally ruin your photo and you can't even correct it completely in post processing . If you are shooting in Raw then this features does not matter at all , but if your shooting in JPEG then this is one of the things that really matter . As my opinion set the White Balance in auto and let the camera handle this part .  

8. Composition

Lastly , I want to tell about composition . It's something like where you want to put your subject on the frame.  If you put your subject all the way to the up or down in the frame or the corners maybe or the side then it doesn't look well.  You always maybe not always but most of the time have to put your subject in the middle of the frame or maybe a little left or a little right . According to your prospective to the subject .

Conclusion 

Atlast I want to say that the point I mentioned above is the technical part of the photography.  So , if you want to get better in this part you have to practice more and more. Cause you already know practice makes you perfect . The more you spend time the more you will gain experience . And with experience you will understand the point I mentioned above and with those your photos will become from good to best .okay so that it everyone .  Thanks for reading.
