Candid Photography - "Boyz & Girl"
|
|
Exposured at f3.5, 1/80 with ISO200 and Focal Length 70mm without PS touchup (again..anyone who are willing to teach me PS are welcome)
Candid Photography is a snapshot photography that focuses on spontaneity rather than technique, on perecting the immersion of a camera within events rather than focusing on setting up a staged situation, focusing on lengthy camera setup or focusing on particularly strong lenses (taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Others described Candid Photography as a spontaneous photographs taken outside a posed "studio situation", often when the subject is unaware of the camera's presence.
The idea to take candid pictures other say we must have a good eye for detail and good reactions to shoot at the right moment. And there are two approaches to candids. One is to hide and shoot from distance with long lenses and the others is the 'in-your-face' approach (be prepared for rude approach).

Street Photography - "Kidz & Ice-Cream"
|
|
Exposured at f/4.6, 1/80 with ISO200 and Focal Length 70mm without PS touchup (anyone who can teach me PS are welcome)
Street Photography is a captured fragment of the real subject soul without any control on it at that particular time. It's for those who see what is happening around them, always concentrates on a single subject moment and wish that they could capture that decisive "moment". Also, others think that the street photography is totally candid (The topic is open for discussion, if any).
Some Tips :
i . Turn off all flashes and sound notifications;
ii. Stay in at one places; and
iii. Fiddle, then shot.
In certain situations, it is appropriate to ask (if you can) before take someone's photo.
Shutter Speed : Fact, most of street photography is done handheld and most photographers will insist on using a slow shutter speed of at least around 1/60 to 1/100 (remember rule of thumb for handheld shots, the minimum shutter speed should be 1/x, where x is the lenght of your lens)
Note : The red colour at the part of girl face is a birth mark

Composition - "N.A.N.A"

 |
|
What I suppose to do ?
|
|
|
Subject - A naughty baby girl called NANA. Who's NANA ?
PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY - It's not just about light and exposure, it is more about expressions, character and a body language.
12th March 2006 - There is an article that I read this morning from my old photograph stock magzine "How Can I Take Better Photographs of People By Andrew Hudson" under the Subject Placement - The biggest mistake many photographers make is to try to shoot a person's whole body, head to toe. Don't attempt this, unless clothes are important (such as a uniform). Instead, focus on the face. The eyes and mouth are the most important features, so start there and work out until you have just enough to represent the individual(s). Crop tightly, and don't be afraid to overflow the frame with the person's face.

CLOSE-UP or MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY - Some said macro photography simply as a large pictures of small objects. Other says that close-up or macro photography is any photo that is within a few inches of a subject and attempts to magnify it, showing the subject from a closer prespective than humans ordinarily see. But another sources say there is a differences in between macro photography and close-up photography based on the reproduction size of the final subject as related to the actual size of the subject. Any definition which attempts to differentiate in between the two are welcome.

|
Sunset - A Statement of Silhouettes and Rule of Third
|
|
|
Subject : Sunset time are the most emotional of all nature photography. They can convey such strong feelings of wonder and inspiration due to the deep colour of oranges, reds, gold, blues or even purples mixed together.
Location : Tg.Balau, Desaru
Shutter Speed : 1/60sec
Aperature : f/3.2
White Balance : Off (There is no white object even white card at the site as a reference WB mode)
Sensitivity : ISO50
EV : +1/3
File :JPEG (1600x1200)
Photo taken : 31/01/2006 at 7:19pm
COMPOSITION SUNSET - General guideline that can be used like include foreground elements and try to place the horizon off-center by include a lot of the colourful sky and place the horizon in the lower third of the frame (using Rules of Third). If you are using SLR the easy and best way is what we called "bracketing". If your meter tells you to expose the scene at 1/60 at f/8, then take a shoot at this exposure. Then take another frame at 1/60 at f/5.6 (one stop more exposure) and another at 1/60 at f/11 (one stop less exposure). Using this you have taken the shoot with more and less exposure that what the meter indicates. How about P&S or you don't have a separate meter or a way to control your camera's aperature and shutter speed?. As long as your camera has auto-exposure lock, you can used this "fooling" technique. First, point your camera at the sunset and take the indicated exposure then shoot. Second, point your camera at the ground with darker area, lock the exposure, recompose on the sunset and then shoot. Third, point the camera at the sky, lock the exposure, recompose on the sunset and then shoot. By now you should have 3 different exposure setting for the sunset.

COMPOSITION...PICTURING A FRAME WITHIN A PICTURE FRAME
One of the most striking field techniques around is foreground framing. If be used effectively, it will helps direct the viewer's eye right to the photo's star or subject attraction. There are 2 options via WIDE LOOK - An exclusive perspective with the ability to combine the main subject with an entire background and TELE VIEW - An unique look for framing and be used to compress, highlight and show the main subject. Not sure? Maybe shoot the scene with this ways : with a small aperture (high f/stop number) for maximum near-to-far sharpness and a large aperture (low f/stop number) for a "selective focus" effect. But book rule can be break in photography.
