See the World

There is nothing more important than “seeing the world” that is around you. I want to explain how you can train your mind and eyes to see the images that are around us at all time.

Basics of Your Camera

No matter the make or model of your camera I am going to show you the basics of the buttons so you have a better understand. I explain everything around the dial from what the auto mode to A-S-M-P

Good Lenses

Why I Avoid Cropping

You may hear people say that they “crop” their images often.
I personally do not crop and pass along that mentality to you. When you crop you are taking away important data that could leave you with an image with less quality.

Your Camera’s Shooting Modes

Let’s take a look at what the different modes of your camera mean. On your cameras dial you will see a A or AV which stands for Aperture Priority. This means you set the Aperture and the camera will set the proper shutter speed S or TV stands for Shutter Priority.
This means that you set the shutter speed and the camera will set the aperture. The mode I will have you learning is the M mode or Manual. This gives you full control of your settings

How Shutter Speed Affects Motion

Did you know that if you have a slow shutter speed there is a better chance your subject will have motion blur? A faster shutter speed generally allows you to freeze motion but you have to keep in mind that any changes you make will effect the exposure triangle.

How Shutter Speed Affects Exposure

Your shutter not only helps you capture motion it controls the amount of light that enters your camera. This is where under and over exposing an image comes into play. The faster the shutter speed the less light you will let in. The slow the shutter speed the longer the shutter is open, the more light you will let in.

ISO

Your ISO controls how sensitive to light your image sensor is. For example the brighter a situation is the lower your ISO may be. You raise your ISO in darker situations to make your image sensor more sensitive to light. There are different things that happen as you raise your ISO so you will want to be careful.

Aperture

Do you want to “blow out” your background meaning do you want to have your subject completely sharp and your background blurry?

Well this is just one of many things that your aperture controls.

Depth of Field

When you are trying to get either a little or a lot in focus you have to think about your depth of field. I will show you exactly how to make this work with even the most basic lenses.

How Focal Length Effects Depth of Field

Getting closer or further away from your subject will effect how much of the background is either in focus or out. This means even with your basic kit lens you can make the background go blurry by following the steps I discuss in this section.
