Beautiful Landscape

Great landscape photography is everywhere. Let's face it, when you're away on vacation, what captures your eye? Yup, it's the view.That's why you go to the destinations you choose. So you take a camera, run off a few shots and take the pictures home to show everybody how fabulous the place was and...you're disappointed with the results. Your photos don't really convey a "sense" of where you were. Most of the landscapes I show you here are photographed in Genting Highland, Putrajaya, National Monument and KLCC. I prefer to use my Canon 7Ds for my landscape photography, the resolution of this camera (workhorse) is ideal to bring enough details out in the pictures.

What is landscape photography? How does it differ from other forms of photography? What's difficult about pointing your camera at a scene and snapping a picture? Those are all good questions. Landscape photography is at the same time one of the easiest and most difficult subjects to approach. It is easy because landscapes are so familiar and accessible - they are all around us, and by now most of the obvious scenic views are catalogued tourist attractions with established viewpoints. In addition,landscapes are pretty permanent; they don't move, and so all that is necessary is to get there with a camera. Finally, for the simplest shot, there are no extreme technical difficulties.

How many times have you photographed the “picture perfect” stage? Improving the image has become part of the photograph. Combining experience, books of compositional techniques, and extensive manipulation in the darkroom, even the best photographers can not squeeze some excellent photographs of scenes. However, your photos will improve by understanding the differences between the background and the scene is recorded on film. Your ability to see the current landscape as landscape photography will improve. In addition, you will be able to decide if a particular scene (even if it looks a lot while you’re there) will not be as impressive in the final photograph. More importantly, you’ll be able to exploit these differences to your advantage and transform a mediocre “real life” scene in a unique photographic image.

Taking pictures is a breeze. Even with the advent of mobile phones and cameras in hand, at the request of each professional digital photographer as it is. Their knowledge of lighting and special items that revolves around photography helped to maintain their relevance. With parts of inspiration, some parts of knowledge and the remaining portion of technical knowledge, photographers are the ingredients of a successful quality photograph. They have a very strong expertise in the creation of a fund and the impact of background on the subject of the photograph with respect for natural and artificial lighting.

Take The Perfect Portrait

For a brilliant picture people can be difficult but with these tips, you’ll soon be on your way to creating something special.

Portrait photography is not as simple as it sounds. It goes beyond technical skills, and you’ll need to choose not only the right location, but building a relationship with your subject well. After you have the ideal and relaxed person, everything is about composition, light and balance. And remember, the eyes are the key to a decent portrait image.

1. Location

You do not always need a photo studio lights, expensive complex to get amazing results, but choosing a suitable location to complement the mood you want to discuss is essential. Here, we wanted our picture to have a natural feel, so we set up a local park where we used the fall colors as a backdrop.

2. Build a Report

It is essential to build a relationship with your subject so you can capture their personality. Even if you know your subject, and chances are they feel a little uncomfortable and self-conscious in front of a reflex to encourage smiles with a few jokes and a bit of banter. Ultimately, it is an expression of your subject that will save a portrait.

3. Shoot in Aperture Priority

To make your subject stand out against a background very blurred, turn your camera to Aperture Priority (Av) and use a wide aperture mode of f/5.6. This will reduce the depth of field (the distance in front and beyond the focus point is still acceptable strong) so it is great to minimize distracting backgrounds.

4. Do you need a tripod?

When deciding whether or not to use a tripod, you should consider how competent you are at handling a reflector and a camera at the same time. For this shoot, we found it easier to leave the tripod at home, giving us a little more freedom to adjust the camera angle without facing additional equipment.

5. Fire away

Do not be afraid to shoot more than necessary – you can always throw unwanted shots. Subtle changes of expression can make or break a portrait, so make sure you’re spoiled for choice. Your object gets tired quickly (especially if you work with children) to take regular breaks to relax the muscles of the face, check your plans and prepare for the next session.

Portrait Pointers

Personality is captured in your camera with smiles, gestures, angled faces, and lots of pleasant expressions. Your enthusiasm helps people unwind so you may shoot variations on their best poses. Shoot close-ups with a lens focal length between75mm and 150mm, and fill the frame with your subject in some cases. You have opportunities to do character studies of some people whose faces, figures, and clothing lend themselves to playing roles. Insightful poses, lighting arrangements, and your direction allow people to reveal themselves in successful and maybe surprising portraits. Think attitude. It can stimulate personality and may help generate worthy expressions.

My First Shot

My first contact with photography was strong, nice and short. I was 11 years old when I brought my father’s camera with me during a school trip. I took pictures of animals in the National Zoo. I ran out two rolls of film; I was so proud and happy. The day after, my dad told me I could have bought nice postcards instead of wasting money and film.

I’ve always been very interested in aspects of fantasy, as I find them incredibly youthful and inspiring. With Fairyland, I’ve tried to find a balance between that part of me and my seemingly endless love affairs with natural light, on location portraiture, vintage everything and elements found within nature. I’ve melded my favorite things into a very authentic and atmospheric storyboard, in which I’ve written and designed a world of magical places and characters wherein we all might see aspects of ourselves.
