Shutter Priority mode

Hey folks. welcome back to Photography for Beginners!! Let's talk today about Shutter Priority mode.

Shutter Priority mode is a tool used to isolate each element of the exposure triangle and learn how to use them. One of those modes is the Shutter priority mode. This mode is marked on the dial of your camera with the letter S, or in some cameras, Tv. When you use shutter priority mode, you are taking control only of Shutter priority mode, and giving the camera control of ISO and Aperture.

When and Where should it be used??

To understand when and where should this be used, we need to take a look at the basics. We know that Shutter speed controls motion blur. The higher the number, the less motion blur, and vice versa. By this, we can tell that we have to use shutter priority in cases of moving objects. Some examples would be Sports photography, Bird photography, etc.

Here you can see that Shutter speed is not high enough, which causes motion blur.

This is another shot where you can tell there is no motion blur, meaning that the Shutter Speed is high.

One of the biggest pros of Shutter priority is that you don't need to worry about messing up your Exposure as the camera will automatically balance it out, but you do need to be careful about not messing with it too much (!) as it can mess up the focus or cause digital noise. So go ahead and have fun, but don't mess up your aperture or ISO settings, while having fun with your camera!!!

With that being said and done, let's leave the blog here. More coming out shortly. So stay tuned!!

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 SLRs are nothing but older and outdated versions of a DSLR.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 ...

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 ...

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...
