Photoshoot Tricks & Tips - Light

Subject :- Lamp Post

Time :- Night (12:00 - 1:00 am)

Setting : - My Neighborhood

I was standing in front of my porch looking out shooting stars when i noticed that the lamp post by the road not far away seemed to be a pretty amazing subject. I got hold of my camera and started taking snaps of it while experimenting with different kinds of settings. Here are some examples of the snaps i took:-

Go!

What i did was select a relatively low shutter speed then use manual focus which can be done by selecting the 'm'-manual instead of the 'a'-auto on your lens and make the focus go blur to the max fiddling with the focus. As i snapped the shot i moved the camera in the direction of what i wished to right. 

*note: this may need a little practice to get used to.

I took many frames for starters to get the basic of this technique.Once you mastered it, its really simple and extremely fun to play around with.

Good Luck!!

Adjust settings such as weather and lighting environment before you start taking pictures. The flash settings is also important, you can opt whether to use auto flash or no flash accordingly.

• Be as steady as possible
The lens on a camera phone is smaller compared to a digital camera, making it very susceptible to camera shake. This will produce blurry images even if you move the phone just a little bit. This applies in low light situations.

• Mind the light
This refers to how the light is set and also the quantity of light available. Be aware of your main light source.

• Close ups
Camera phones function better at taking close up photos. In addition, this also reduces the effects of camera shake.

• Take photos of still objects / subjects
Less movement of the object / subject will yield a clearer & sharper photo.

• Edit your photos
