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 SLRs are nothing but older and outdated versions of a DSLR.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

Metering

Metering Hello everybody, and welcome back to my blog! May is a beautiful month for both hemispheres. In the North, spring is gradually blooming into summer, while the South celebrates the beautiful colors of autumn and its harvest. Time for the perfect photo 📸, ain't it! In my two previous blogs, I wrote about ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed, and also, Exposure triangle. In this blog, I will be explaining two modes of metering, out of a total of three. So hang in there for this next blog! What is Metering? It is vital to understand what “Metering” means. Metering indicates using the light meter in your camera to read light, and no, it doesn't mean staring into a source of light. What it actually implies is measuring the amount of light entering the camera and correcting it to make the pic look well lit. Modes of Metering There are 3 main metering modes: •Center-weighted average metering •Evaluative pattern/ matrix metering. •Spot Metering. On mod...

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 ...
