Light management
- F/Aperture – the adjustment depends on the depth of field you want(large aperture = narrow depth of field, small Aperture = wide depth of field)
- Shutter speed – the adjustment depends on the image motion.(low shutter speed = blurred motion, high shutter speed = sharp motion)
- ISO – keep it lowest possible to avoid noise grain. It is the last factor to be increased.
- (white balance) – no effect on exposure, but keep to color correct and natural.
All of these three factors will result in an exposure level, which should be at 0.- Mostly, it is the relationship between 1, 2
- Lower F-stop(uses a larger aperture) – increase the shutter speed to compensate for the exposure, and vice versa.
- Mostly, it is the relationship between 1, 2
Composition
Any good photo should have(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X70GHUr-Vmw)
- A Subject (+ secondary subjects), even in landscape photos.
- Clue (leading lines), or Vibe (layering, negative space, light/shadow, space) that guides the attention energy toward the subject.
- Balance of any heavy composition(eg. balance a dark object with shadow)
This other lecture also provides a very clear and practical explanation in much greater detail than in the first one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gok-dqLx3vY
- define the point of interest(can have the primary and the secondary) and then create an image around it
- The point of interest can also be just a light or vibe, or environment.
- Crop out the things except the point of interest out of the frame, because the photograph presents the image differently from eye perception, our brain can automatically ignore the things that are out of focus, but the photograph can’t..
This is also very good
