Aperture Priority Mode

Hey there!! Welcome back to my blog! In this one, We will see the different priority modes, and how and when they should be used. So let's get this party going!!

In this blog, you are going to see the different modes which are present on the dial which is on the top of your camera. If you take a look at it, you can see there are many letters on top of it. Before you go crazy trying to figure out what on earth do those alphabets mean, I will break it down for you. There are four exposure modes: Programmed Auto/Program (P), Shutter Priority (S/Tv), Aperture Priority (A/Av), and Manual (M). So in this blog, only Aperture priority will be covered.

Use Of Aperture Priority Modes

These priority modes help bridge the big gap between Auto mode and Manual mode users and are also a great way for Auto users to turn to Manual. this is so as these modes will only be focusing on one element at a time so that the user dives fully into an experimental mode.

Aperture Priority mode is a way in which you can individually learn how to use Aperture while leaving the rest of the function onto the camera to set automatically. This is an excellent way of learning how each and every certain function and figuring out the optimal way of using them. Go ahead and try to fiddle with the aperture controls while in Aperture priority mode. You will see that when you increase or decrease your F/Stops, the ISO or your shutter speed will increase. Do you know why that happens? Well, the answer is pretty simple. The ISO and Shutter speed is automatically adjusted to fulfill the brightness/dullness which is caused by the Aperture settings. If you see, the same process is repeated in Shutter priority, except this time, you have control over the Shutter speed. ISO and Aperture are all automatically controlled by the camera.

Where is it used?

As you know, Aperture plays a great role in taking portraits, and what is better than only having to worry about your focusing and leaving the lighting issue on your camera?? Well, that's exactly what Aperture priority is most useful for. keep in mind, you can use this moe for other types of shooting. but this mode, by far is the most effective.

With that being said, this is all for today, stay tuned for the remaining priority modes and much more to be released in the future.

Goodbye, and stay safe!!

Composition and its Laws

So what is composition? Composition is what guides our eyes through a photograph and gives importance to the subject with the rest of the photo. Composition through flow, direction, and visual balance, helps drive the story behind your image and grabs your viewer’s attention. The better the composition, the more attractive and eye-catching it becomes. So, there will are certain composition laws and tips you can use to make your photo more attractive. The Rule of thirds: When everyone first starts, They have a natural tendency to put the subject in the dead middle. Well, that isn't always the best. The rule of thirds suggests dividing the image into a 3x3 with equal-sized squares, and to place the subject in any of the four intersecting lines. Center Composition: The second law is the Centered composition. We all know that photography is an art form, and like all other art forms, it has its exceptions. This law suggests keeping the image straight and simple. And like the name sugg...

Bokeh

What is Bokeh? Bokeh is the aesthetics of the quality of blurred background in a photo. Bokeh has also been defined as the shape of lights in the background of an image. The purpose of Bokeh is to divert the attention of the viewer to the subject, not the environment around it. In simpler words, Bokeh is the background of the image. The more out of focus it is, the better. There are two types of bokeh. Good Bokeh and Bad Bokeh. What is good and bad bokeh? Good bokeh does not distract the viewer from the subject, It instead enhances the photo, and makes the subject stand out and look better. Bad bokeh does the opposite. It keeps the background in focus, compared to good bokeh, and makes the image distracting. In bad bokeh, The subject loses its priority, and viewers look less at the subject and more at the background. This makes the subject stand out less, and in turn, produces bad-quality photos. The first picture here has bad bokeh since it distracts you from...

Use of shapes in composition

Hey! I'm back with your monthly dose of photography. Today, I learned something that really enhanced the way I took photos (no, seriously). The fact is simple, something that everyone sees everywhere and all the time, but many overlook it. Yes... Its shapes. Shapes are all around us, we find them wherever we go. From billboards to the shopping mall to even the plate on which you eat. The world is full of shapes. I honestly, just used to take photos that looked pleasing, but totally forgot how much better I can make them if I try to see the symmetry and the shapes all around me. As a photographer, I spend a lot of time looking through my viewfinder, trying to find the right frame, creating high contrast environments, and trying to find the best overall composition. But, some photographers, like me, just try to see things in a complicated way. Allow me to explain. I never looked at the hundreds of shapes around me, and how I could line them up with something similar to receive an am...
