Phrozhen.Khold Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Stick to whatever works for you... To put it bluntly... its not the camera that takes good pictures... its you... kahit gano kaganda o kamahal ang kamera mo kung hindi mo alam gamitin at bobo ka sa photography... walang kwenta camera mo...

Phrozhen.Khold Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 would really want to have formal education on photography.. i know i have an "eye" for it.... just need to develop it.. I could teach you the basics... but for specialization like wedding photography... I suggest you take lessons... you could just read books and learn the basics and just practice by shooting... not really hard if you put your heart into it Quote Link to comment

Phrozhen.Khold Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) here are sample shots that i took..... would appreciate if you could comment on it..... would really be willing to learn more before i get a good camera... these shots were taken with my N73... Judging from the look of the first two photos... I would say that it was improperly cropped... the elements in the foreground are distracting... the tree on the 2nd picture is in dead center and almost splits the whole photo 3rd photo is ok... the primary elements are there... but I would've included the tip of the tree in the photo... another thing to watch out for is your horizon... make sure its horizontal Edited October 25, 2007 by Phrozhen.Khold Quote Link to comment

agxo3 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Shoot lang ng shoot (with the camera u have now) then, hone your skills by attending seminars / eb. That's absolutely the WORST advice you can give anyone who wants to learn! Learning is more than just shooting until you accidentally find a setting that works - sometimes. Then the lighting changes, or the camera, or the subject, and all of a sudden nothing works again. And depending on your camera to make all these focusing and exposure decisions for you is certainly no way to learn at all. The best photographers - film or digital - and the most successful, KNOW THE BASICS. What's aperture? What shutter speed? How do these relate to ISO? Why would you use one shutter speed over another? Or one aperture instead of another? How do you adjust shutter speed and aperture when your exposure is not right? How do you know when to use a low ISO vs. a high ISO? What is the effect of a high ISO setting on a digital camera? How do you use flash? What does teh guide number mean? When is flash the wrong thing to use? And when can it be the best lighting you can have? What'[s tie difference between a zoom and a prime lens. Why would you want to use a prime instead of a zoom? Why is a large aperture valued by most pros? What is resolution and how important is it? What is LENS resolution and why is it important - and what is the minimum lens resolution you need for a conventional DSLR such as a Canon 350? Is more MP REALLY more important than anything else in digital photography? The list of questions is endless - and just fooling around is NOT going to get you answers that will serve you well. If nothing else,buy a good book that explains the technologies of photography, and READ! Hook up with more experienced, more knowledgable photographers. Those who REALLY know, not just those who want to pretend they do. Asking them to explain to you the answers to that list of questions I listed will give you a good idea if they know what they're doing. Any good, knowledgable photographer will be able to answer those questions without having to think about the answers. Quote Link to comment
