6 photos have not been backed up

Digital era, everything photos are presented in a computer file, as opposed to the film’s difficult to save, such as computer hard disk failure, accidental coffee streaming into notebook computers, and these are digital images of doom.

Photography Beginner Saving Guide on Equipments

After enjoying numerous wonderful photos of others or just want to start your carrier of photography, you may start your way of purchasing photography equipment. The dazzling camera, lens, and other gadgets may let you get into the trouble of choosing the right one. In fact, you just need to be clear on your purpose.   No camera, no shooting. Brand first. No matter Canon, Nikon, Sony, or Pentax, the difference is not far. I used both Canon and Nikon and my current device is Nikon. Not because Canon is not good, but I’m used to the control habit of Nikon and don’t want to change it any more. Many people say 5D2, 3 are great. Some of my friends are trying to purchase them. I also moved, but I find that it is almost the same as my D700. Both of them have the advantages and shortcomings. The difference is not as big as someone’s descriptions. 5D3 is a good device, but it also has limited area. It is the same condition to all devices. There is no camera can be competent for all works. Even there is, the price will not unacceptable for a photography beginner. Finding your location of photography, and then you will find your best and budget camera. Generally, my recommendation is among Canon and Nikon as the photography kits are more sufficient.  If you prefer Canon, 650D will be a good entry level device. Or you can choose 60D, which is the professional one in the Canon Entry level device. If your budget is sufficient, 7D or 5D3 are available. Generally, the dear one has better performance than the cheap ones. But the gap is not as big as your expectation. Of course, this is only my view; you can reserve your opinion. I don’t like to argue on the equipments.   If Nikon is your taste, D5200 will play a good role in shooting children or family party. For deeper learning, D90 will still be OK even it only has 12MP. I’m in for this word: Canon is not level their product by image quality and Nikon is not on controlling. If your budget is more sufficient, my recommendation will be D7100, which is also the choice of my assistant. It is really a good device, and there are many powerful and practical functions. Or you can choose D700.   Lens second. As we don’t ensure what device you choose, so here is only some recommendations on focal length. For portrait photography, big aperture prime lens or zoom lens are necessary. The previous one can let you get better performance at weak light condition. Some friends purchase DSLR for their children. Prime lens will be better for babies while the zoom ones are more suitable for children who can walk themselves. While choosing lens, you should ask below questions to yourself: indoor or outdoor; nearby or distance shooting; portrait or group; whether macro; landscape, architecture; compact or eye catching? After doing this, do remember try the lens at the physical shop. One word for you: don’t forget take a SD as the LCD screen is a liar. Read more articles of other gadgets on Koolerbuy blog.

Six steps for shooting unbeatable photos

Most of the people have a dream of photography, it really is a good idea to play with photography. But back to think about it, this is a bit wrong, I crossed thousands of miles, arduous journey, the original is to shoot a few others already looks similar photos. If we say that a good photo shoot the first man is a genius, and that the second photo shoot the same person is mediocre, and the third is genius. If we are waging to go when fools, it really is a little bad thing. So, take pictures, the key question is how to shoot the others can not copy photos. Below, I put my thinking explore and share the hope that the Twins. Pack your photoes safely in dslr camera bag.

1. adhere to a theme

Do one thing fear is unsustainable, the most rare is serious. As long as work hard, insist on doing, might come up with something for. Play photography, too, shot for a place to engage in eco-Lane portrait, documentary and playing with ideas, of course it can, and does not fully grasp bad, but “all without fine” is definitely a problem. After playing for some time basis, we should try to specialize in a particular field, such as playing ecology, we should all around hastily Bugs are playing over and over, and then select a few particular subject, such as plum or something to play to the extreme. On certain aspects of the study, from the hard copy of the photo shoot someone far away. For example easier to understand, making village, living in village half a specialized pictures of people, more than a visit to this man certainly looks in depth.

2. the scenery was shot

Scenery is dead, people are living. Beat any natural scenery, there are likely to be copied. However, adding a stranger in the landscape, the possibility to be copied is greatly reduced. Of course, more importantly, the addition of human emotions and different expressions, different attitude, copy the possibility of almost zero. In particular shot humanities, who is the most important landscapes.

3. look for different angles

Venue for King, as long as we move it slightly down and get inside the camera is a different picture. When we take a look at the activities and then the body, our cameras will also get a different picture. Looking for a different perspective, would be to make our pictures can not be copied to another characteristic of the Dharma. If you can, overhead, overhead shot, drop shot, jump shot, shot from the crevices of people from the crotch shot, these are able to try angle.

It is in the evening, a good light, blind shot, a blur of kites, the outlook is switchgrass. With text: centerless see the scenery along.

4. innovative way of composition

In fact, in school when they first learn what photographic composition rule, I think it is do not fly. Composition did not have a rule. The key is to see more of other people’s films, and then in the real way to exercise their own composition. The only way to play out and others do the same thing. Textbooks say, to be concise, but in the end it should be concise and to what extent? Who do not know, the key to his inspiration.

This stone is quiet, the water is moving. Stone plays a key role, dotting, or will be relatively flat.

5. into the personal feelings

From a certain point of view, there is an emotional, emotional pictures, is a good photo. Beat one thing, it is better to shoot a thought; shoot an idea, it is better to shoot a dream. That is the reason. How to make a picture with emotions, which we all need to comprehend. If the photo is not directly express emotion, it can only be used to decorate the emotions of the characters. Holland, looks bad again, have to shoot. Withered lotus, is able to say things.

6. alone to carry out creative

Collective creation, is currently more popular play shooting mode. We eat, drink and then taken, of course, living quite clear, no one likes. But a law in terms of artistic creation, in fact, there is little real work of art is a collective, are generally individuals to complete. Lonely the poet. Especially in the quiet village beat the humanities, a large group of people together, and I see people already ran away. So, you want to engage in photography, when maverick better. Folk songs that go with a few friends, the best have split up. An old woman facing dozens of branch Changqiangduanbao bombing, this scene, who watched will be more chilling.

Making your own HDR photo

HDR, or High-Dynamic Range, is a popular photography trick at current. According to wiki, the defination of it is “capture a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest area of an image than current standard digital imaging methods or photographic methods”. In general, you take a series of photos for one object, some of which are over exposure while others are less exposure, and then combine than into one photo with software. By doing like this, the image has more details.

  The consulting result of HDR is not the same as others. Many landscape photographers choose this trick to shoot as it can let them get more details of the sky and landscape while not using filter or other complicate tricks. Of course, using HDR on other topics also can get some terrific effect. At here, I will show you how to display the details in an unbelievable way. While you accomplish this work, the result is not an ordinary photo, the information in the photo can’t be displayed on a normal monitor (you need a special one). In the software part, Photoshop, HDR Efex Pro, or Photomatix will be OK. Now you needn’t to find the landscape, I will show you the magic of static objects. All the photography equipments you need to prepare is only tripod, shutter line, and your camera.

  First, don’t move. Use different exposure parameters to shoot 3-5 photos. The Only thing you need to do is let your camera don’t move, so the photos can be combined perfectly. To get this point, you need tripod and shutter line. Don’t touch your camera. You can pre set your camera exposing in different parameters. Be sure the aperture is the same.

  Below are the three photos and the final results.
