shutter tips
In the previous section, we guided readers how to choose a camera, as well as accompanying accessories before each trip. However, before we start taking photos, we need to do some research and learn a few concepts that you will need when “acting”. Specific methods will be shown below.
Learn how to use the equipment you bring
Preparing all the supporting equipment for photography does not mean you have finished the job. Your task now is to learn how to use them effectively and properly.
It should be noted that every small detail such as how to take the camera out of the bag, how to adjust the lens, and shooting modes all need to be done accurately and smoothly if you want to get beautiful and unique photos. Sometimes, impressive views only come once, and you may regret the whole trip if you miss them. Therefore, always be ready.
Learn not to use self-timer
Spend your free time learning about Manual shooting modes, instead of using the camera’s default automatic shooting mode. The reason is because sometimes beautiful and unique photos come from strange and different shooting modes. Besides, learning different shooting modes also helps you grasp a lot of knowledge about photography, and as mentioned, sometimes helps you take much more unique photos.
Camera parameters such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and white balance are the factors you must master first. Once you’ve mastered shooting in Manual mode, customize these parameters to get beautiful exposure photos.
Shoot in RAW image format
If your camera supports RAW image format, take advantage of this to get beautiful photos with high detail. Although RAW image format usually has a much larger capacity than regular images, this problem can be overcome with the included memory card.
Besides, shooting in RAW format also allows you to change the white balance, and capture images with very high detail in low light or peak light conditions. RAW images also allow you to adjust the quality of the photo through the first shot.
Learn about the place you’re going to
Please “Google” in advance the place you are going to, see if there are any outstanding sights there. From here, you can have a pre-determined direction in your mind about how to shoot, the shooting angle, and the shooting space. This helps you be proactive and quickly catch up when you arrive.
