currently doing one.

 

if you need/want inspiration for the day, look for FMS photo a day on FB and/or Instagram.

#JIP for Instagram.

 

Both have a list of items that you can use for your personal project.

Ask ko lang pano pag may lines na don sa screen ng dslr ko ok pa ba yun? Pero pag upload naman ng pic maayos pa naman

Ok lang and it should not affect your photo...

You should look through the view finder. It usually is as close as you can get to the actual photo being taken.

Yung screen is ok for information and quick checks but it twill not represent or faithfully duplicate the actual image being taken.

I like the ability to check the histograms on screen to give you a warm and fuzzy feel of your exposure settings.

 

My 2 cents lang po.

nice

thanks! i actually have been posting pictures that i took using my phone. i just realized how helpful it is because it really trains your eye to shoot and allows you to be creative by maximizing what the camera on hand can do

addtl:

 

stick to shooting on what you really like ...

 

daming pinoy photogs na feelingers at pangungunahan ka pa sa diskarte mo.

[Nenji😛]

Im into this... very inclined to read regarding photography and photo editing in the past. Its just a shame that I dont use it in practice... i should start investing for a camera.

 

Any suggestion for a starter?

Think long and hard first on why you want to do photography. Dala ba ng inggit sa mga nakikita mong magagandang kuha ng iba sa FB? trip mo lang ba magkaron ng panibagong hobby? gusto mo bang sumikat o yumaman sa pag-camera? The sooner you realize the reason on why you want to do photography, mas madali ka makakadiskarte sa pag aaral nyan.

 

Pag kasi naisip mo lang mag camera dahil trip mo lang tapos nahirapan ka sa pag aral ng basics mawawalan ka ngayon ng gana na ipapatuloy ang pag self study. Sayang lang ang pagod at gastos mo. Masyado pa namang mahal ang hobby na to lalo na kung magsisimula ka na bumili ng gamit.

 

Ako kasi natripan ko mag photography dahil may mata talaga ako sa creativity. Simula ako magbasa basa ng mga libreng resources online tapos ipon ng pambili ng gamit. Practice lang at nagamay ko din, di kalaunan sumasali na ko sa mga photoshoots.

Im planning to start at it as a new hobby lang. Since matagal narin akong intrested sa photography, nakakahinayang din kasi kung hindi ko ittry.. di ko alam baka may skill pala talga ako dito.

 

Kunwari si Promto lang ng FFXV. Hehehe

[glut_func]

ok, since hobbyist ka lang din tulad ko then take your time in learning the fundamentals. Marami online na libreng resources kaya wag ka na mag bother na mag take ng paid lessons. Pare-pareho lang naman kasi yan kahit na anong brand pa ang gamitin mo. Aralin mo ng maigi yung tamang pag expose dahil eto ang essence ng craft na to. Pwede ka maka-achieve ng mga magagandang kuha kahit hindi ka umasa sa post processing gamit ang photoshop o lightroom.

 

Pagdating sa gear, bilhin mo kung ano lang ang afford mo. Kahit hindi ka muna mag dslr walang problema, kahit point & shoot o camera phone mo pwede na yan. Importante mahasa ang mata mo sa tamang anggulo at composition. In short, bago ka tumira dapat na-visualize mo na yung gusto mong shot.

 

Tsaka kung hahanap ka din naman ng inspiration ng magaling na photog, marami dyan na pinoy na magagaling lalo na yung mga pro. Ako mismo hinahangaan ko si librodo dahil nahilig ako sa portraiture. Pero hindi ko ginagaya ang style nya syempre. Makaka realize ka lang ng pansarili mong style once nagsimula ka nang pumitik kasi ikaw lang din makakaramdam kung saang field ng photography ka magiging kumportable.

 

Lastly, wag si prompto ang gawin mong idol - kahit naka max na ang skill nyan marami pa ring sablay yan. Pansinin mo sa mga random shots nya, halos puro pwet ng mga kasama nya ang kinukunan.

Natawa ako dun sa huling comment. Max skill na sablay parin talga. Hahaha

 

Sa ngayon, using my phone, random shots lang ginagawa ko pag tinamaan ng inspiration sa isang bagay, lugar or anything na nakita ko. Marami pa tlga ako kelngan pagaralan sa craft na eto. Hehe

[glut_func]

eto ginawa ko nung nagppraktis ako using my 1st dslr (nikon d40 na secondhand). Mag umpisa ka mag practice sa kwarto mo lang or bahay, pagtripan mo mga still objects tapos pag aralan mo anong angle sila magandang kuhanan, tapos isunod mo ngayon yung paglalaro ng lighting tulad ng patayin mo yung ilaw sa room mo tapos gamit ka ng flashlight na magsisilbing spotlight sa subject mo. Experimentation lang talaga pre.

 

Pag nagsawa ka na sa stills sa loob ng bahay, lumabas ka naman at pagtripan mo mga hayop (as in animal ha? hindi taong ugaling hayop kasi mapapaaway ka lang.) Kelangan ma-build up mo ang mata mo sa composition kasi eto ang common mistake ng mga photog na nakikilala ko, may gamit nga pero ultimo basic palpak.

 

Wag ka magmadali bumili ng magandang gamit. Aanhin mo ang full frame na body o magarang lente kung tamang pag expose eh mamali-mali ka pa? Atleast pag marunong at kumportable ka na sa fundamentals magiging kampante ka ngayon kahit na ano pang gamit ang ipahawak syo.

 

At eto pa, wag ka muna mag post ng mga kuha mo sa social media, Tulad nga ng sabi ko syo, maraming pinoy photogs na nagmamagaling. Baka mamya bigla ka makatanggap ng hindi magandang feedback at makaka-apekto yan sa creative process mo. Madali ka ngayon mawawalan ng gana. Tira lang ng tira pero at your own pace.

 

In between shoots at feel mo nauubusan ka na ng idea, basa basa ka lang ng mga tutorial online. Start with basics lang brad, basics.

Learn Lightroom! That is one photo editing software that I really enjoyed using.

 

But I've become lazy and I have been relying a lot on free presets from photographers that I've been following online.

 

But I still won't mind getting back into using this software in tandem with the Photoshop

Any recommendations for a point and shoot camera? Budget 12-15k. Thanks.

technically, the best point and shoot camera now is your phone since a lot of the phone manufacturers have now improved the cameras in the phone. Huawei's P9 has 2 lenses in the rear camera which was done in partnership with Leica. So if you ask me, you may be better off buying a good smart phone instead of getting a point and shoot camera.
