Download or read book Photography Made Easy written by Rick Cheadle and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you an aspiring photographer? Not sure where to start? Have you been taking pictures that your just not happy with? I was in the same position as you were several years ago when I first got a DSLR camera. I shot everything in full auto mode and I didn't have a clue what all those buttons and knobs were for, I just pointed and shot. This resulted in inconsistent, blurry, unbalanced, over-exposed, or under-exposed photos. I decided to learn how to take control of my camera and actually learn what all of those buttons and knobs were for and become an actual photographer as opposed to someone that just took pictures. After studying many books, watching tutorial videos and years of trial and error, I have compiled the best and fastest way to break free of "auto mode" photography and explore all that my digital camera had to offer. When reading this book you will see references to settings and various parts of your camera. Since there is a wide range of brands and all cameras are slightly different, I recommend you refer to your owner's manual to better understand your particular camera's layout and functionality. I have included pictures and easy to follow diagrams and I explain things in an easy to understand and simple manner. My goal is to teach you all the important photography basics and enhance your skills so you can capture professional, high quality photographs that you will be proud of.
Download or read book The Photographer s Guide to Posing written by Lindsay Adler and published by Rocky Nook, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When photographing people, you can have a great composition, perfect light, and the right camera settings, but if your subject doesn’t look right—if the pose is off—the shot will not be a keeper. Posing is truly a crucial skill that photographers need to have in order to create great photographs. If you’re looking to improve your ability to pose your subjects—whether they’re men, women, couples, or groups—best-selling author and photographer Lindsay Adler’s The Photographer’s Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone is the perfect resource for you. In the first half of The Photographer’s Guide to Posing, Lindsay discusses how the camera sees, and thus how camera angle, lens choice, and perspective all affect the appearance of your subject. Lindsay then covers things that ruin a pose—such as placement of the hands, and your subject’s expression and posture. Next, Lindsay dives into “posing essentials,” outlining her approach to start with a “base pose,” then build on that to create endless posing opportunities. She also discusses posing the face—with specific sections dedicated to the chin, jaw, eyes, and forehead—as well as posing hands. In the second half of the book, Lindsay dedicates entire chapters to posing specific subject matter: women, men, couples, curvy women, families and small groups, and large groups. In each chapter, Lindsay addresses that subject matter’s specific challenges, provides “go-to poses” you can always use, and covers how to train the eye to determine the best pose for your subject(s). Lindsay also teaches you how to analyze a pose so that you can create endless posing opportunities and continuously improve your work.
Download or read book LIFE Guide to Digital Photography written by Joe McNally and published by Life. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography has been the business and the passion of LIFE since the original weekly magazine's inception in 1936, and it continues to be the business and passion of LIFE Books and LIFE.com in the new millennium. But photography has surely changed during these many decades. The rigs and gear of old have given way-first slowly, then all at once-to sleek miracle machines that process pixels and have made the darkroom obsolete. The casual photog puts eye to lens, sets everything on auto and captures a photograph that is . . . perfectly fine. One of LIFE's master shooters-in fact, the final in the long line of distinguished LIFE staff photographers-was Joe McNally, and he has always believed that with a little preparation and care, with a dash of enthusiasm and daring added to the equation, anyone can make a better photo-anyone can turn a "keeper" into a treasure. This was true in days of yore, and it's true in the digital age. Your marvelous new camera, fresh from its box, can indeed perform splendid feats. Joe explains in this book how to take best advantage of what it was designed to do, and also when it is wise to outthink your camera or push your camera-to go for the gold, to create that indelible family memory that you will have blown up as large as the technology will allow, and that will hang on the wall forevermore. As the storied LIFE photographer and photo editor John Loengard points out in his eloquent foreword to this volume, there are cameras and there are cameras, and they've always been able to do tricks. And then there is photography. Other guides may give you the one, two, three of producing a reasonably well exposed shot, but Joe McNally and the editors of LIFE can give you that, and then can show you how to make a picture. In a detailed, friendly, conversational, anecdotal, sometimes rollicking way, that's what they do in these pages. Prepare to click.
