Photographer who loves challenging and experimental photography and is not afraid to share the knowledge about it. Nowadays, it seems that the majority of DSLR, mirrorless, and even point-and-shoot cameras have video features. Of course, if your camera has video capabilities, you want to know how to make the most of it. Photo by Sebastiaan ter Burg The exposure concept is the same: you control the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed with small exceptions. Shutter Speed The shutter speed is what makes the difference between a jittery and a smooth image. Photo by Mariano Kamp For video to look smooth at a given frame rate certain shutter speeds must be maintained so that the motion is smooth.

Paul Emmings / About Dear photography friend, Can I welcome you to my web page. Learning photography is a journey and not a destination . I have been on this journey only for a short time, but have learnt a considerable amount about composition. I have designed this site to try to assist and help everyone new to photography in the art of composing photographs. The camera we use is a very skilled and technical wonder and it is capable of many great things, BUT it can not tell you where to point it and when to press the shutter button. The categories above give visual examples of simple composition; the rule of thirds, lead in lines, foreground interest, framing, symmetry and selective focus. I have also included sections with the title 'WORKING'. This section starts small with the options of photographing a pedal bike and ends with Sydney Opera House over a number of days. Other sections within this site show some of the photographs I have taken of our recent adventures.

Sydney Home – Heidi Dokulil and Richard Peters The Sydney home of Heidi Dokulil and Richard Peters – architectural perfection! (…and that couch ain’t bad either). All photos – Lucy Feagins/The Design Files. Designer details – love love love that ENORMOUS Akari paper pendant lamp by Isamu Noguchi and amazing green dining chairs by Vico Magistretti / Artemide. Who needs bookshelves when a few vertical stacks of books look this good? Eames LCW Plywood chair in RED. Homes just don’t get more photogenic than this. It’ll be no surprise to learn that this incredible home belongs to two super creative Sydney folk. Whilst the open plan living and pitched roof give it a spacious feel, this perfect pad is actually deceptively tiny – just 85m2, with one modest master bedroom and an even smaller study. Whilst the architectural elements and Japanese proportions are a large part of this home’s appeal – it sure helps when you’ve got the coolest furniture in Sydney.

3 Posing Tips for Young Siblings Have you ever tried to pose an elementary-age set of siblings, only to have one or more of them dissolve into a crying mess before you’re able to capture a single frame? When it comes to posing young siblings, I’ve discovered that things run more smoothly when I take a slightly more relaxed approach to posing, and I’ve compiled a few posing tips that will hopefully help you capture meaningful photos of young sibling groups a little more easily. 1. Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that when I’m photographing groups of siblings, the favorite images are almost always ones in which the kids are closer together than they might usually sit, or stand, in day-to-day life. These images are most often family favorites, and are usually the ones that I see gracing Christmas cards and photo canvases in their living room. 2. Another thing to try is to have the kids lay down. 3.
