Since the era of “Stone Age Men”, when we first used images of the animal, human hunting to decorate cave walls. The captured images fascinated us. Although it wasn’t until inventing photography. Turned this obsession into an art form that everyone can enjoy, regardless of his artistic ability. Regardless of whether there are special circumstances or reasons. People all over the world will take photos of themselves, family and friends, pets, and landscapes. But how much do we know about photography? The following are some different photography to help us learn more about different ways of taking pictures.
In recent years, with cheap digital cameras, amateur photography has developed. Because of the low cost of equipment and image reproduction. Amateurs can use this digital photography, which we will introduce in this article.
Black and white or monochrome photography
The first is to consider black and white or monochrome photography. This is more than just showing black and white images. Black and white photography explores contours and features, tones and textures, aesthetic art, and the beauty of the subject. The two components that black and white photography brings depth and feeling two images are shadows and reflections. If we learn to use them, we can create dominant images.
Colors can sometimes obscure the texture and shape of the subject. It draws attention to the way flowers attract insects and birds, while ripe fruit attracts attention to trees. Sometimes this is what we want, but black and white can emphasise the texture of the subject.
There are many ways to convert different colours to different grey scales. You can have excellent control over which parts of the image will be bright and dark, and the lighting level. No light is as important as reflection. Good deep shadows can increase the depth and firmness of the image. It allows us to distinguish the effects of colour and brightness. Black and white photography allows us to use colour more.
Action photography
Action photography can be a place where a photographer shoots sports events or children play. We can save any place with exercise. Set the shutter speed to freeze the action, or try to reduce the shutter speed to blur the action. This blurring effect can produce drama and movement. If the object moves in the frame, try to follow the object, we call this a panorama. Once perfected, the effect is that the object is very clear. But the background has blurred motion, giving a sense of speed.
Action shots of athletes, moving people and animals, and other moving objects create great photo opportunities. However, capturing fast action with a digital camera can be challenging.
Certain settings on many digital cameras allow photographers to take action shots with point-and-shoot cameras designed for moving subjects. At other times, it is up to the photographer to manipulate the digital camera to get the best photos.
A digital camera with a shorter shutter lag time can take better action photos. Regardless of your camera specifications, you can further reduce the shutter lag by pre-focusing before taking pictures. To do this, press the shutter button halfway, and then after the camera focuses; press it fully to take a picture.
The fast shutter speed allows photographers to take excellent photos of moving subjects. If your digital camera supports slower shutter speeds, you can still take some wonderful action shots. It may take some practice, but try to pan the camera to keep the lens on the subject’s movement.
If possible, shoot in continuous mode. In the beginning, you may feel like paparazzi. But you will love this fast mode, and will not let you miss any opportunities! Digital cameras that support continuous shooting are very suitable for action shooting. They can write all photos to the memory at the same time instead of one by one.
Stay ahead of the action and position yourself. If you are engaged in shooting sports. Camp near the goal line or find a clear shot for the athlete in a good place.
Invest in a good lens. Although you can change the lens for different effects. Many action shots will benefit from a digital camera with a 200mm lens, which will bring more benefits. The zoom lens brings wonder to sports shooting.
Aerial photography
If you want to shoot landscapes or city views, it is best to use aerial photography. We can’t afford our helicopters. But we can get significant results from the tops of tall buildings, bridges, or mountains. Therefore, although it may not be possible to achieve real aerial photography, we can still appear about aerial photography.
Travel photography
Travel photography is not just about holiday photography. It’s about capturing certain feelings, emotions, and essence of a certain place. This is about telling stories about people and scenery; capturing mood and environment. However, you don’t need expensive vacations abroad; travel photography can document a town, or even nearby. Como is an exciting local city, but it has the added benefit of not being far away.
When shooting people in a local environment, try to use a variety of techniques. But please keep in mind the principle of respect for others.
I have already talked about background shots. But a good way to do this is to think about the reasons behind the people being shot. What you want is not to be too distracting, but to increase the shooting environment. Another technique for taking portraits that ignores the “context” rule is to find a well-lit location with a dark background. This can help the faces you shoot stand out and attract attend the audience.
Some of the best photos I took of people when I travelled are those where I framed people’s faces. This means being close to people or owning and using a good zoom lens.
Take natural shots (shooting without poses): Although poses sometimes work well, they lack realism. Photograph your subject what he is doing in daily life. At work, in the market, at home, or just crossing the street.
Over the years, most of the photos I have taken of people are single objects in the lens. This is just my style to some extent, but this is something I have realised in recent months. Add a second person to the image to move the photo to other places. Shooting is no longer just information about a person and its surroundings but becomes relevant. Viewers of the photo doubted this relationship and added a layer to the image.
Many times, the lens of people in national costumes will attract photographers when they travel. Although these lenses may be very effective, I wonder if they always represent a culture. These people often dress up for performances or sightseeing, and most people in that country look different. Mix the type, gender, and age of the person you want to take. To get a very effective collage of faces from all over the country.
This is contrary to most travel photography, which is quick and spontaneous. But if you can spend time with people. Sit with people for longer periods and photograph them in a long way. In this way, you can tell a personal story. Use different photography techniques, lenses, and situations. To take great photos, and people can relax more around the camera.
Place the camera next to your eyes to take those candid photos in the most convenient position. It’s amazing what images you will find when this person is not ready to shoot for you. These shots include people interacting with others or expressing genuine emotions. I found setting the camera to continuous shooting mode produces excellent spontaneous shooting effects. If possible, please do not close the lens cap before picking up the camera.
When choosing a lens, I found that a focal length between 24mm and 135mm is an excellent choice. By choosing a wide-angle lens can also take interesting photos, but you often find that they distort the subject’s face. A longer focal length can make your subject feel more comfortable.
Underwater photography
With cheap underwater cameras, underwater photography has become more and more accessible. Whether you want to take photos in a swimming pool, lake, river, or ocean. Underwater photography is one of the most exciting and meaningful things you can do.
The difficulties you encounter when shooting underwater can sum up in one word “limitations”. It restricts underground communications and travel. It limits natural light and visibility. The solution to these limitations depends on your underwater skills and photographic equipment.

However, the most important advice you can get has nothing to do with photography, but with your safety. Even for swimming pools, the aquatic environment can be dangerous. No picture is worth your life. Depending on the type of underwater photography you want to do. You must first receive professional knowledge, training from a licensed instructor. This applies to all aspects of underwater activities, from basic swimming skills to advanced underwater diving techniques.
This list is not exhaustive; a few different photographs, you may discover. There are many other forms of photography, from infrared to medicine, street, landscape, portrait, macro, and panoramic photography. We can divide photography into dozens of categories, many of which have many subcategories. But now, have fun with your camera and discover the joy of photographing the subject of your choice!
