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!!

Photography, with me!

Photography, with me! I have recently developed a fascination with the art of photography. I just love how people can capture such amazing moments by pressing one button, and they can keep it with them, forever. Yesterday, it suddenly struck me that there are many other kids (elder's too..?) who wanted to learn about photography but never had the time. So I decided to put my learnings in a blog so that we all can, maybe, learn together through this blog...what say??! 😁😁 So without any further ado, let's dive right into it! ISO First up, we have ISO. ISO controls the sensitivity of the lens in your camera, and it's brightness. Now, people would start saying, "Oh hey! That means I am gonna bump my ISO up, to make the image as bright as possible." well, actually, you want the opposite of this, you want to keep your ISO as low as possible because when you bump your ISO up, the noise in the image also increases making your image look pretty ...

DSLR vs Mirrorless

Hey there! I know, you don't have to tell me, it's been a while... But don't worry! I'm back! Today, I have decided to write about a spicy topic... It's on every photographer's mind, with a lot of professionals having a lot of different views, it makes the topic worth looking out for. That's right, it's "Which camera type is better? DSLR? Mirrorless?" Before jumping to conclusions about the better one, we need to first get an understanding of the two. Let's take a look... First of all, what does DSLR stand for? DSLR stands for Digital Single-Lens Reflex What on Earth is a DSLR? You must have noticed, every time a photo is clicked, the viewfinder goes dark for a short time, making a "click" sound. Ever thought about why this happens? Well, this happens only in SLRs and DSLRs. SLRs are nothing but older and outdated versions of a DSLR. Nothing important... Before understanding what a DSLR is, we need to have basic knowledge of the ...

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...
