Finding New Photography Locations Just Got Easier With ShotHotspot. A Post By: John Davenport There are many ways to go about finding photography locations, but if you’re struggling to find new locations I’d suggest giving ShotHotspot a try.
Five Reasons to check out ShotHotspot? #1 Great search functionality. Apertures: when to go small and when to go wide. One of the most common questions we hear from readers and new photographers is when to use wide apertures and when to use small apertures (see also some of the other 99 most common photography problems we get asked).
The source of the confusion around apertures often tends to be around the f-numbers. The smaller the f-stop (eg f/2.8) the wider your aperture will be, and thus let in more light. The bigger the f-stop (eg f/22) the smaller your aperture will be. Once you get your head around that numbering system it becomes much clearer and you will soon be using apertures confidently to achieve different effects. Are you a good photographer? 9 simple ways to tell. How do you define a good photographer?
Someone who takes photos that you’d never dream of or dare to take? A photographer who has an image in mind long before they hold a camera to their eye? A photographer whose equipment is worth more than the car they drive it around in? Well, for our money, you know you’re a good photographer when… 1. 7 lies your camera manual tells you. Camera manuals, eh?
Many of them are barely fit for purpose, and are one of the main reasons that ‘how to’ photography magazines and websites such as this one have been going for years. Yes, manuals explain how to turn your camera on, attach a strap and set some functions, but they don’t really go into the whys and wherefores of anything at all. That said, you’re lucky to get an actual printed manual at all with cheaper cameras these days, with many now coming as PDFs on the supplied disc, or downloadable via the maker’s website.
