Aberdeen

Hi all,

It seem like i am geeting a few people reading from looking at the statistics of the site, hopefully i am interesting and more of a normal person who does photography, any comments on the multi exposure image it created the other day?? please do contact me and i will have some content to add into the blog.

I found some more myths of photography,

People believe a good camera makes a better photographer.

The camera is a too, the person (photographer) is great because of the skills they have.

everyone learns in their own way but the vision is created by that person too. You can create a image with a single use camera and as the trend is heading back to film camera that are cheaper than the new digital cameras (you can get bundles camera and lenses) on ebay when i just looked a bundle can cost £40-50.

This is where your skill gets real, you will have to wait and see what you have shot no checking the viewfinder or monitor to see if the shot was good. Bit of anticipation more exciting than digital and when you get that shot better feeling.

Now manual camera also means you learn why there is different ISO film. A high iso means a lower amount of light is needed to get a image on the film so 1600 mean low light.

ISO 100 mean sunny days, bit difficult in the UK and may mean you need different cameras if light changes.

Next the aperature now this is how much the eye of the lense controlling the amount of light passing through the lens, of which 

So smaller number then more focus on the subject you want to shoot, smaller number then more objects are in focus

Shutter speed is the amount of light that will be seen by the frame on the film.1/500 and bigger, you will have matrix style skills and beable to freeze time and the image, 1/4 and lower then the image will blur.

A High ISO is bad

This is subjective, i personally learn that a low iso is better as i mentioned. The brighter the day the cleaner the image will be, if you want to shoot with a ISO100 at night then you will need a tripod or a steady hand, unless your a robot it wont work or you will like that type of image. personal choice.

A tripod is always needed for clean shots

Again subjective, i normally shoot without a tripod and i am fine. you want to take a night shot with trailing lights then you will need a tripod, anything long exposure the closer you get to one second exposure, more likely you will need a stable place to mount your camera, a bean bag, tripod, monopod, wall or fence.

 this image didnt have a tripod

Only bright light make good photos

guess, subjective but it is true sometimes above image was in bright light and on a beach, i really enjoyed having the trip but below is a low light image taken in the lake district

without a tripod either.

 So answered some myths moving on soon i will be taking a trip to Aberdeen few hours driving but i will be taking some time to shoot. in the mean time take a look at wish or redbubble and buy some merchandise
