Going on holiday? Here are some suggestions to get the best pictures you can take home. Be sure to print your photos, because it will not last forever on the Internet.
1. Read the manual of your camera. I know it’s boring and tedious, but you’ll be glad you did if you do not fully understand how to use the camera. I read my manual twice to finish (and it’s a big manual), and I mean that from time to time, when you need a refresher.
2. If you are using a point and shoot camera probably will not be able to do any configuration setting. However, you can use the landscape mode to keep all the focus area, or use the portrait mode for the main subject in focus but the background will be blurred.
3. In a digital SLR camera or other where you can adjust the settings, make sure you know how to use them. The opening (aperture) controls the amount of the image is in focus. A f-stop of 2.8 will have very little in the approach, only the main topic have focused on. An f-stop of 16 will have everything in focus. The shutter speed controls the issues that are in motion. If you are photographing a child to move, you need a shutter speed of at least 1 / 125. The ISO controls the amount of light in the image. An ISO of 200, do not allow much light as ISO 400 or 800. Daylight, ISO 200 is enough. The aperture and shutter speed also impact the amount of light entering the camera sensor. For example f/2.8 allows for a lot of light on the sensor, while f/16 allows very little. A shutter speed of 1 / 25 allows a large amount of light, while 1 / 250 allows for much less. Practice, practice, practice! Make various settings in these 3 options to see what happens.
4. The composition of a photograph is very important. Put the deadlock is usually pretty boring topic. The rule of thirds is a guideline – Imagine a tic-tac-toe in the viewer and place the subject in one of the intersections. It is also generally better to choose one part of the landscape and photography, instead of trying to get everything into the picture. Five mountain peaks are very small and far away, instead of choosing one of the peaks and something in the foreground, like flowers, will look much better.
