All we ask is that you check out our website www.stephendentphotos.com, and keep us in mind for any of your future photography needs!
Today we are going to talk about getting to know your digital camera. Cameras these days have so many great features that you can use to optimize your pictures, with different, easy to access setting for every different photography situation. These are just suggestions listed here, for more information, you should look through the book that came with your camera, or visit the maker’s website for information specific to your camera.
Click on your camera’s menu button. Once you have done so, you should see some kind of option like “shoot mode” or “camera options.” Depending on the age and quality of your camera, you should be able to access a variety of different modes to help you take the best picture. Common options are portrait, macro, action, or landscape. Select one and try it out!
One option available on my camera that I love is the sunset option, which tells the camera to pay special attention to the reds and oranges, which are colors that normally get suppressed in a picture. Using this mode, you can catch the true beauty of the sunset like you never imagined.
Here is a quick run down of what the common options are, and when you should use them. Portrait option should be used when taking a picture of a person, because this mode will blur out the background and bring the person into fuller focus. Macro is used when you are taking a picture of a small object, generally from very close up, such as a bug on a leaf. This mode zooms in on the object and magnifies it, making the picture far more sharp than if you took the picture regularly. The action setting is best used with a flash, in a brightly lit area. Action mode uses a faster shutter speed to catch objects in motion, such as someone kicking a soccer ball. Landscape mode enhances the colors of the picture so you see the scenery as it actually was, and gives equal crispness to every aspect of the picture.
I hope these tips help, and as always, please visit the website to contact Stephen Dent, or to book your next photo shoot with Stephen Dent at www.stephendentphotos.com.
