I’ve been keeping an eye on these for a long time because I need a small tripod I could mount anywhere and use for vlog style videos. I got this one on sale around Black Friday for a great deal and I think it’s well worth the cost.

Aperture & F-Stops Explained

February 08, 2018 in Equipment, Photography, Photography for Beginners

Are you looking to get the nice out of focus, blurry background in your images? Do you need more light for a proper exposure? Adjusting your aperture will make that possible. Understanding Aperture and F-Stops will help you take your creativity and photography to the next level. In this video I’ll explain what F-stops are, how they work and when to use the different F-stops.

I will also show you example images as well as give you a specific way you can practice changing your aperture while allowing the camera to choose your shutter speed. As you learn how to use the aperture, you will gain an additional skill that brings you one step closer to understanding the exposure triangle, using manual mode on your camera and taking amazing pictures.

Here are some key things to remember about Aperture and F-stops:

Aperture controls two things, the amount of light that passes through the lens and Depth of Field
Lower apertures, for example 2.8, allow more light to pass thought the lens. They also allow for a shallower depth of field, giving you the ability to achieve that nice blurry background.
Depth of Field (DOF) is simply the area that is in focus within the photograph.
High apertures (8 and higher) allow for more or all of your image to be in focus.
Higher Apertures also allow LESS light through the lens

Photograpy for Beginners: Understanding ISO through Practice

February 06, 2018 in Equipment, Photography for Beginners, Photography

Learning to understand the exposure triangle basics will help you start out on the right foot in photography. Once you understand the basic concepts, the only way to get better is to practice. In my last video ISO Basics, I suggested that you can use the ‘P’ mode on your DSLR Camera to practice using just the ISO. In this video, I’ll show you the images I made using that method and show you how noise and grain creep into an image as you get into higher ISO settings.

Here are some things to remember about ISO

ISO is the sensitivity of the image sensor to light
Lower ISO’s (100, 200, 400) are going to give you a cleaner image. Less Noise/Grain
Use low ISO’s in bright environments
Higher ISO’s 1600+ are going to have more noise/grain. Not always a bad thing!
Higher ISO’s allow you to photograph in darker situations
Higher ISO’s will allow you to use a faster shutter speed (we will get into shutter speed in a future video)

Photography for Beginners: ISO Basics

February 01, 2018 in Equipment, Photography, Photography for Beginners

Looking to learn about ISO? In Part 1 of this series on the exposure triangle, I’ll teach you about the basics of ISO and show you examples of what ISO does, how and when to adjust it as well as the effect it will have on your images. I’ll also tell you how to easily practice using ISO to help you gain a better understanding of how it works and when you should make changes to it based on the environment your photographing in.

Understanding ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed will help you move out of the Auto mode on your camera and into Manual mode. The benefit to you - Being able to unlock your creativity in photography.

It takes a lot of practice to master photography and your camera. Getting a good basic understanding of the exposure triangle will give you the tools and knowledge you need to set off on a successful path in photography.
