Program Mode

Have you ever heard of P mode? 

The 'P' Mode, or Program mode, can be found on the top dial of your camera. The Program mode is a tool which is used mostly by beginners. It's a mode that lets you take control of any one of the elements in the Exposure Triangle. It then uses its AI to automatically set the other components to make sure that your shot is Perfect in every way, with as little compromise as possible.

What makes this mode so beginner friendly is the independent control over any factor, without having to go through the trouble of compromising on other factors, or spending tens of minutes making sure that the picture is perfectly lit up.

Camera Shooting Modes – Full Auto mode setting for picture taking


By using Program mode, you will be able to unlock the more creative features of a camera, instead of just being able to set the exposure triangle, or the white balance, which can get pretty boring...

program mode gives you more control than the auto mode, but relatively less control than the other modes that we have seen so far.
This mode will be pretty useful if you don't necessarily understand what should be the proper exposure settings you should use, then you could choose to handle white balance or anything else. The camera will decide by itself what should be the proper exposure! If you don't like it, you can always work on it and make it better.

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

Spot Metering

I'm back with your weekly dose of photography basics.  Hello everyone!! welcome back to photography for beginners! The last blog was about Center-weighted metering mode and Matrix metering mode, and as promised, today will be about Spot metering. So without any further ado, let's get into it. Spotting the problem. The last two modes we discussed had one thing in common, Both of these metering modes covered large parts of the frame to find out the perfect exposure. But now, we have a mode that is the total opposite, in fact, it only takes into consideration about 2 to 3 percent of the whole screen! Now some of you might be questioning this statement, "How are we supposed to use this mode in our day to day photography, if it takes a small speck of the whole screen for setting the exposure?". Well, you aren't wrong. This mode of metering is only made for those photos that have their subject take up only a bit of the frame.  As you see, this flower looks properly expo

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
