are you professional photographer…? i mean do you charge for these photo shoots…?

non profit.. i donate to st.jude and other organisations like wwf ..whatever i earn.. or i ask my clients to directly donate in my name.

Photgraphy pina thread start cheddam anukuntunna regular ga..


Naalage ikkada chala mandiki photography interest vundhi kada .. valla deggara konni skills nerchu kuntu .. i want to start a regular thread.

na plan entante 10 15 chapters ga thread ni nadapatam... mee contribution chaala important.


so for that i will be going through 5 10 different blogs.. photgraphy books .. tasks .. etc..

So lets get started...

1. starting with light and types of lighting ..

2. Inka cheppukunte ISO ani shutter speed ani white balance ani chaala vunnai but... vaati gurinchi cheppukuntu poothe theory class laga vuntundhi.. so just easy ga gurtu pettukodaniki .. ee picture ni memorise cheyandi..

3.Camera ?

 

point and shoot cameras that come with iphone + in built settings. You can play with those settings to understand various physics of photography by playing around.

 

I have a friend who is a talented point and shoot photographer and instagram recognized, will ask her to share tips.  check the below video on how a point and shoot camera can be effective as well.

Best point and shoot camera ->Fully functional  canon G12

 

EVIL cameras:  Sony NEX 6, Olympus OM-D E-M1, panasonic Gx7 and theFujifilm X-T1. These cameras are small and handy while fancy producing results close to SLR. These cameras are very trendy amoung tourists now a days. Since easy to carry and not as bulky as SLR, you will love to have one.

 

Rest of the cameras like DSLR , SLR

canon or nikon or panasonic lumix DMC or pentax 

These are obviously bulky and come with all features you expect for all occasions to shoot.

 

You probably need a tripod and remote  for shooting fireworks etc that require shutter speed of 1/500 or 1/1000. When the shutter speed is very high you can expect objects to be shaky. Hence you need a tripod and remote to avoid shaking of the setup while you click the shutter. 

 

If you are tight on budget and not sure how serious you will be on ? Go with used ones for less than 100$ and make trials.

4.What type of lens to pick

 

 

Choosing a Canon lens for portrait, wedding and low-light photography

           

For many people, a good-looking portrait shot combines a flattering view of the subject against a blurred background. This is very easy to achieve with the right lens. The key behind a blurred background is having a lens with a small f-number, and the flattering perspective is down to a slightly magnified view. Lenses with small f-numbers also capture more light, which makes them ideal for shooting in low-light without a flash.

In our portrait lens guide we’ll show you which models are best for the job.

 

 

 

 

 

Choosing a Canon telephoto lens for action, sports or wildlife photography

           

If you want to get close to a distant subject, you need a telephoto lens. These are ideal for sports and wildlife photography, along with capturing candid shots of people at a distance. They’re also great for getting closer to details in both natural and urban environments which are lost in a larger view. 

Their broad flexibility coupled with a desire to zoom-closer than a standard kit lens makes a telephoto model the natural choice when most people start shopping for a second lens. See ourtelephoto lens guide for recommended models.

 

 

 

 

Choosing a Canon Macro lens for flower, insect and general close-up photography

           

If you’re into taking close-ups of flowers, insects or other tiny subjects, you’ll quickly become frustrated with the capabilities of a standard kit lens – they just can’t focus close enough to deliver a decent-sized image. 

The answer is a Macro lens, which is designed specifically for high quality close-up photography. Many also double-up as respectable portrait lenses. So if you want big photos of small subjects, check out our Macro lens guide for the best models.

 

Choosing a Canon wide-angle lens for landscape, interior and architectural photography

      

Wide-angle lenses capture bigger views than normal, allowing you to squeeze very large subjects into the frame. They can prove invaluable whether you’re trying to photograph a large building, cramped interior, sweeping landscape view, or even just a big group shot. They’re also ideal when you literally can’t step back any further.

 

So if you’re into landscape or architectural photography, or often find yourself stepping-back to squeeze-in the desired shot, then check out our wide-angle lens guide for the best models.

 

 

  

General-purpose zooms handle most day-to-day shots, offering wide-angle to telephoto coverage. Unless you’re a specialist, you’ll probably keep a general-purpose zoom fitted to your DSLR more than any other lens so it makes sense to have a good one. 

Most DSLRs are sold with a standard lens, but upgrading to a better model can give you superior image quality, a broader range, quicker focusing or brighter apertures for low-light work and blurred backgrounds. See our general-purpose lens guide for the best models.

"F-stops" and "T-stops" are terms used in photography and cinematography to refer to different methods of measuring lens aperture, which is the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera.

1. F-stops (f-numbers):

   • F-stops are a standard way to describe the aperture size of a lens.
   • The f-stop value is a ratio: it's the focal length of the lens divided by the diameter of the aperture.
   • F-stops are a mathematical formula that quantifies the amount of light passing through the lens. The lower the f-stop number (like f/1.4, f/2), the larger the aperture and the more light that enters the camera. Conversely, higher f-stop numbers (like f/16, f/22) mean a smaller aperture and less light.
   • F-stops also affect depth of field; lower f-stops result in a shallower depth of field.

2. T-stops (transmission-stops):

   • T-stops, on the other hand, measure the actual amount of light that passes through the lens and reaches the sensor or film.
   • T-stop values take into account the light loss that occurs due to the glass and other elements within the lens.
   • T-stops are used primarily in cinematography because they provide a more accurate representation of how much light is recorded by the camera. This consistency is crucial in filmmaking, where consistent exposure is necessary across different lenses and shooting conditions.
   • The T-stop number might be slightly higher than the corresponding f-stop number for the same lens due to this consideration of light loss. For example, a lens with an f-stop of f/2.8 might have a T-stop of T3.2.

In summary, while f-stops calculate the theoretical aperture size, T-stops measure the actual light transmission, accounting for any loss of light within the lens. This makes T-stops a more accurate measure for consistent exposure, especially in professional video production.
