My Devotion

Since we know the three basic thing to consider in photography (aperture,ISO and shutterspeed) start exploring your camera and look for your nice subject. This is one of my favorite subject in photography.

This is my shoot when my Canon EOS 1000D SLR camera was still new. Exploring my new SLR camera I want to have a subject that will express my faith and personality.

This shot is a simple expression of my devotion and faith. It takes several shots to get the image I really want. For some it is just an art, but for me it is my source of strength whenever I feel I am in the lowest point of my life. I have no macro lens so I find it difficult to get this image. However patience makes it happen. I really enjoy taking photos that reflect my personality using my Canon SLR camera.

Shutterspeed 1/80, Apperture 5.6.Practice makes perfect, dude

ISO

In earlier post we discuss Aperture and Shutterspeed, to take good photo combination of this plus ISO will improved and give you a nice image. What is ISO?

ISO is the sensitive of express the photographic negative materials. Traditionally used the set the film speed of the selected speed on film cameras, ISO speed are employed on the modern digital cameras as an indication of the system gain from light to numerical output and to control automatic exposure system.

ISO speed affects the shutter speed / aperture combinations you can use to obtain correct exposure.

Suppose your digital camera's light meter warns you there is not enough light to correctly expose a scene. You could use the on-board flash, but let's suppose again it's not allowed (like in a concert or indoors recital).

Usually the setting of SLR cameras for ISO is ISO100, ISO200,ISO400,ISO800 etc.(depend on the model of SLR)

Explore your SLR camera using the combination of ISO, aperture and shutterspeed will give you an impressive photo. Practice makes perfect.

Shutter Speed

One thing to consider when taking a good shot with your SLR camera is the Shutter speed. Shutter speed is the adjustment of the speed (often expressed in fraction of a seconds) of the shutter to control the amount of time during which imaging medium is exposed to light for each exposure.Shutterspeed may be used to control the amount of light striking the image plane; faster shutter speeds (that is,those of shorter duration) decrease both amount of light and the amount of image blurring from subject motion or camera motion.
The agreed standards for shutter speeds are:
1/1000 s
1/500 s
1/250 s
1/125 s
1/60 s
1/30 s
1/15 s
1/8 s
1/4 s
1/2 s
1 s
Try to take some practice using different setting of shutter speed to fully understand. practice make everything perfect.
