Photography - Techniques

Optimal Parameters for Landscape Photography : 
For Landscape Photography use shutter speed of 150 to 200 and ISO of 100/150. Avoid using more than 150.

To Blur The Water or Falls :  

A Very Slow Shutter Speed will Blur the Water falls.

Freezing the Water or Moving Car :

To Freeze the Moving objects or Water use Higher Shutter Speed

Off-Centre Images :

When Capturing objects dont put them on very centre of the frame, off-centre objects

will add beauty to the Photograph.

Intentional Blurring of Background on Images :

The background image which is contrast to the image which we are focusing can be blurred to make the foreground image really unique

Capture Trails :

Always capture objects while they leaving the frame, it will add some uniqueness to the photograph

Best Time to Shoot Moon :

Moon would be always big and brighter when Rising and Setting, Its the ideal time to shoot the beautiful planet
 

Scaling Objects :

When shooting bigger objects like Sea Rocks, Mountains peaks or statues or landscapes use small objects to show the size of the original object, preferably use Man made object.

Focus people using grids like separations :
If you want to capture a person from a group of people use objects which has separations in it

Leading through photograph :
A Photograph which has something like Walls, Railway Tracks etc will take you through the photograph

Layers in Photograph :
Having Multiple layers like a foreground,middle and Background creates wonderful effects in photograph

Creating Depth of Field :
Deep DOF :
Wide angle lenses with low f-stops creates really Deep Depth of field Where we need really long Sharpness preferably in Landscape photography

Shallow DOF :
Telephoto Lenses creates Shallow Depth of field since objects are captured very closer
Use DOF Calculator to calculate it.

Back-lit Images using Strong Source of Light :
Use back lighting and cover direct lights using an object in the photograph.

Best Time to Photograph :
look for Different Weather like Cloudy Sky, Monsoon rain.
The Best time to take photograph are Before Sunrise and a little time after Sunset.While Sunset or Sunrise instead of capturing the sun, Capture where the light falls, the Golden colour will give Unique pictures.

Using Long Exposure :
When Capturing Night Sky, We need to use Long time exposures that means exposing a sensor for long period will eventually reveals the beauty of the Milkyway arch.
