Following the principle that "the picture does not do the car but the photographer" , here are a couple posts with some tips for taking quality photos although it has no equipment of professionals. I refer in particular to all those who, possessing a compact digital, when they see pictures to the computer exclaim, "here, that lousy picture! If only I had a reflex ... ". Well, I can assure you that having a camera will not save you from making bad pictures or low alloy . If anything, the advantage of a digital SLR is that you may have provided virtually all the focal lengths (providing of course objectives) and the sensor, having a lower density of pixels, is less noisy (and of course other advantages that are not list for short).
The compact today, allowing for a range of adjustments that may not even imagine. High-level stuff, which sometimes even have the reflex. Some examples? Ability to change the points and modes of self-focus (AF), bracketing exposure, exposure compensation for flash, with fine adjustment of white balance bracketing (WB), selection of shutter speed for long exposures, at least 3 or 4 methods for calculating exposure, and many others. To learn in depth I suggest you dig up the instruction manual or search in internet. Alternatively, groom at the bottom of your camera menu and I'm sure you'll be amazed how many adjustments are possible.
But there is to say that, even with a super-equipped, the photos will not necessarily impact - do not want to come across the controversy Photo like beautiful photos or so. The fundamental things, in my opinion, are the light and composition. Let's say that, with regard to landscape photography (which is my thing), we can divide the responsibilities of success in this way: 6 0% light, 39% composition and the remaining 1% equipment. Too extreme? I think not.
Let's talk about landscape photography or simply travel photography (ie all those situations where you go to a new place and bring your camera to capture views and landscapes to show then to relatives and friends). In this photographic genre, the light is the most important, in my opinion much more important than in other types of photography. We speak of the sun, of course. So the search for the right light is a first step towards the success of a good photo . Needless to say: the best time dawn and early morning hours (say up to 10 in winter and up to 9, even before the summer) and dusk (from 18 d onwards 'summer and winter and then in about 15 - say that in winter even during the middle there should be no big problems). During other daylight hours do not expect to take home to show shots, especially if the day is not a cloud: you too hard and dark shadows, illegible, colors saturated and often unpacked, difficulties with the WB that will lead to dominant more often than blue, just to name a few problems.
A second thing comes into play the composition. Suppose you are in a fabulous place, the right light of sunset, the clouds pink and a sky that fades from blue to red to yellow and then near horizon. This is where the composition, element and driven by the personality of each one (I'll talk about this later, when I collected all the ideas). This is where the photographer, the photographer puts us here on his and the result will be different depending on who takes the photo. This is where game, therefore, the personality and style of the person. It 's a bit like saying "show me the pictures and I'll tell you who you are" .
Finally, the equipment. Trust also that I have seen pictures taken with the compact from € 100, which gave a hard time in pictures taken with equipment for thousands of euro. Sure, is that now I'm going to take pictures with cardboard and a hole , you know. The cameras and targets to have thousands of euro's definitely something more than the compact eh. Indeed, some things you can do only with a certain piece of equipment, very expensive (I can think of such architecture, which banks use optical medium or large format cameras or decetrabili objectives - the so-called tilt & shift). There is a reason, then, if some trinkets at any cost. But for recreational needs, and especially for those who want to do good work while not spending a crowd, even a compact 100-150 € can be a starting point to learn this art.
In the next post I will talk to the latter question, therefore, that how to get great pictures with your compact digital .
Stay tuned ...
