Simple Tips on How to Take a Perfect Picture

Image
Do you have a digital camera? If you do then you're already one step closer towards that perfect picture! Just a few simple techniques could change everything and transform mediocre shots to eye-catching ones. For DSLR cameras, taking a good portrait photo of an individual requires that you focus the camera on the subject's eye. This would in turn make the subject's facial features more focused and sharp. Next, you need to avoid having too many objects clogging up the photo as the main focus should be the subject. Take extra precaution to make sure there isn't a flagpole, streets sign or tree trunk coming out of the subject's head when taking the photo! Lastly, use a low f-stop - (such as f/1.8) to make the background a little blurry, which would then bring the spotlight and focus on your subject. For other cameras, such as any other non professional digital camera or phone camera, keep the background simplistic so the focus remains on the subject and does...

Image
Photo restoration is nothing but preserving old memories and passing on the sweet memories to the next generation. Photos are taken to capture a moment of a lifetime. The problem with the older photos is the technology and the chemicals that were used to develop them, they react to light even after a long time, this tendency of the light reaction results in discoloration and the photos tend to look faded and the quality and the look of the photo is lost.

Who Else Prefers Studios Over Selfies?

Image
This story started, that after having had 6 years very good service out of 2 solid Ford Focuses, we decided that we wanted our next car to be something 'different' so we settled on a brand new Nissan Juke. Ugly design, some say, just like the original Volkswagen Beetle, but we loved it and went for a bright yellow model. At least we would never lose it in a car park! Imagine our surprise, when on collecting the car from our local Nissan dealership, we found that as part of their local customer care process we had been offered a free visit by them to a local photographic studio for a professional photo shoot? For years, I had obtained far better natural results photographing my kids, and latterly my grandkids, than any studio using my tried and trusty Canon SLR. I had even tried my hand at 'selfies' with my Smart Phone, but although that always managed to 'capture the moment', there was always something starkly amateurish about the result. One o...

Digital Photography Vs Print Photography - Which Is Better?

Image
Often, it is heard that digital photography is better over print photography. Digital photography i.e. the advancement in photography is believed to be a far different concept than print photography. Nevertheless, the former has turned out to be a wonderful complement to the latter. It is akin to evolution of music cassettes into digital media players. While the traditional photography has its own features and benefits, the digital one comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Print Photography Print photography indicates the analog photography method, which in simple words, means using SLR cameras to take pictures. These cameras use film for producing photographs, which later get printed in analog with the help of a chemical process. Also, these are economical when compared to a digital camera of the same worth. Film rolls, however, may come out as costly. With greater film capacity, analog cameras have light that covers a greater area as compared to th...
