14 Concepts in Photography Standing photography Compose your shot, stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length apart, and keep your elbows pointed down. Shooting postures A correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a slow shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize body movement. Holding the camera Hold the camera with your right hand and place your right index finger on the shutter button. Place your left hand under the lens for support.
15 Concepts in Photography Crouching photography Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep a straight posture. Using the display To take photos at high or low angles, tilt the display up or down. You can tilt the display up to 90° upwards ( ) or 45° downwards (). • Keep the display closed () when the camera is not in use. • Tilt the display only within the angle allowed. Failing to do so may damage your camera.
16 Concepts in Photography Low-angle shot A low-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned below your eyeline, looking up the subject. High-angle shot A high-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned above your eyeline, looking down on the subject.
17 Concepts in Photography Aperture The aperture is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture is related to the amount of light: a larger aperture allows more light and a smaller aperture allows less light. Aperture sizes Minimum aperture Medium aperture Maximum aperture Aperture opened slightlyAperture opened wide The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an “F-number“. The f-number represents the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a 50 mm focal length has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm. (50 mm/25 mm = F2) The smaller the f-number, the greater the size of the aperture. The size of the aperture opening is defined as the Exposure Value (EV ). Increasing the Exposure Value (+1 EV ) means the amount of light doubles. Decreasing the Exposure Value (-1 EV ) means the amount of light halves. You can also use the exposure compensation feature to fine-tune the amount of light by subdividing exposure values into 1/2, 1/3 EV, and so on. +1 EV F1.4 F2 F2.8 F4 F5.6 F8 -1 EV Exposure Value Steps
18 Concepts in Photography Aperture value and the depth of field You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by changing the size of the aperture. A large aperture gives your photos a shallow depth of field (DOF). Objects immediately in front of or behind your subject will be blurred, while the subject will be in focus. A small aperture gives your photos a deep depth of field. Objects far in front or far behind your subject and your subject will be in focus. A photo with a deep DOFA photo with a shallow DOF The aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together and control the amount of light passing through the center of the aperture. The number of blades also affects the shape of light when shooting night scenes. If an aperture has an even number of blades, light divides into an equal number of sections. If the number of blades is odd, the number of sections is double the number of blades. For example, an aperture with 8 blades divides light into 8 sections and an aperture with 7 blades into 14 sections. 7 blades8 blades
19 Concepts in Photography Shutter speed Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter. It controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. Shutter speeds are measured in seconds and parts of a second. On many cameras, the shutter speeds are approximately halved with each succeeding setting - 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, etc. Like successive aperture settings, each successive shutter speed setting lets in about half the amount of light. Consequently, each successive shutter speed setting equals an EV (Exposure Value) change of about 1 EV. Exposure+1 EV -1 EV 1 s 1/2 s 1/4 s 1/8 s 1/15 s 1/30 s Shutter speed Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in. Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light will be let in. A slow shutter speed allows more light into the camera to make photos brighter. However, because the shutter is open longer, moving subjects appear blurred. A fast shutter speed allows less light in to make photos darker. However, because the shutter is open for a shorter time, moving subjects look sharper and more focused. 1 s 1/250 s
