Landscape photographers
Author: Ben Smith
Wide-angle lens: is the choice of most landscape photographers.
They allow you to include as much of the scene as possible when
you look in your viewfinder with a wide focal length of 17 mm to
40mm.
There are many different types of photography. You can take
pictures of anything and there is someone out there somewhere
who would like to see the pictures that you take. So,
photography is a great field to get into.
But you can find beautiful landscapes right where you live.
That¦¦s the great thing about nature, it¦¦s everywhere, and
landscapes are everywhere.
Photography is the art of reproducing pictures of people,
objects or places in their exact likeness. These images can be
transferred on any photosensitive material. Photography includes
taking and printing pictures.
There are different ways of finding photography jobs, depending
on the type of job you are looking for and your experience. You
can begin by creating a resume and portfolio of your work.
Load a film fast and good So just how do you do it? Loading film
on a manual camera is basically easy. All you need is plenty of
concentration and focus and you are on your way to shooting the
pictures you want and need. The following are basic steps and
tips on loading film on a manual camera.
First things first, it is best that the film you are loading is
the type that is perfectly suited for your camera. Determine the
brand that works best for you as well as on your equipment. Try
to search through and research the types of film you have seen
developed. Do you like how they came out using that specific
brand? If not, try to look at other types until you find the
pictures that are colorful and that fits your taste.
Believe it or not, there are many different films to choose
from. The most popular is Kodak, of course, as well as Fuji.
There is also a type of film that provides black and white
picture shots. The camera films available also have a range that
offer a slow speed. There is an ISO film speed that is in the
100 while there is also a fast film speed of 400.
An ISO film that has a speed of 100 basically offers a picture
that whould best be taken outdoors rather than indoors. Outdoor
shots using this type of film are well lighted and bright.
However, indoor shots that are taken on an ISO 100 film will
turn out dark and blurry without the appropriate lighting and
flash system. Also, an ISO 100 film when used to take shots
where movement takes place, will basically not turn out good.
Pictures taken using such a film will also appear blurry.
Meanwhile, an ISO 400 film offers the best option and shots
whether outdoors, indoors, static shots, wide angle shots, or
moving shots. An ISO 400 shot provides clear pictures.
Get ready to lock and load
Obviously, there is professional photography but even in that
choice there are many other smaller options that you have as
well.
Outdoor and travel photography is focused on taking pictures of
landscapes and natural places.
There are some excellent photography contests out there, some
even offer large cash prizes, scholarships to photography
schools and really nice cameras and camera supplies.
You will also want to check any and all requirements to the
contest and make sure you qualify. You will then want to check
for any fine print and be sure you agree with the terms.
Nature photography is the photography of animals, birds, fish
and other wildlife. We will be discussing marine photography in
a future article, because it involves specialist, expensive
equipment and assorted diving skills.
Depending on the speed of the film you choose, set the ISO of
your camera on the type of film speed you are loading. This
could be done by adjusting the speed dial of your camera.
Usually, this function is located on the left of the camera¦¦s
top. However, in some models, particularly Canon, the film speed
adjustment is located on the right.
After adjusting, pull the tab of the film out of the film
canister to about three inches. Then, open the camera¦¦s back
via pressing a release button located usually on the camera¦¦s
right side. For other types of camera, this release could be
found and pressed at the camera¦¦s left side.
Place the film on the available space on the left part of the
camera¦¦s inside. Don't forget to place the film with the side
that is flat facing you.
Later, the film should be pulled across the inside of the
camera¦¦s length in order to reach the right side of the
camera¦¦s spool. This is where the tab of the film is to be
inserted into this spool and be winded manually, specifically
counter clockwise or until this same film wraps itself around
the spool.
Spooling a film on a camera that is automatic is a lot easier.
You just close the camera¦¦s back and press a small button, and
viola, the camera spools the film by itself.
When the film has been loaded and spooled, close the camera¦¦s
back and let the film advance until the counter on the camera¦¦s
top reads 1. In other cameras, the counter could read the actual
number of shots still available on the film.
Get ready to shoot and shoot and shoot Now that the camera has
been loaded with film, it is time to get ready and take those
award winning shots. In manual cameras, it is best that the film
be advanced immediately after a shot is taken. In automatic
cameras, the film advances by itself.
However, be it a manual camera or an automatic, it is important
that you check whether the film is advancing or not ¬C or if you
have advanced the film or not. If you fail to check, you might
be shooting to your heart¦¦s content and the pictures may not
turn out the way you want.
Then you can search on the internet at freelance photography job
boards or photography websites and message boards. Get specific
into types of photographing you have done and look on the
internet for those.
Underwater photography is as the name implies photos that are
taken under water. This is pretty interesting since early
cameras could not function if wet. But as people started
discovering the wonders under the sea, they wanted to be able to
share that with others or even just to prove what they actually
saw.
There are many factors involved in taking the picture that will
win the photography contest. You may not win every time but you
should learn something about photography and how to make yours
better each time you enter.
More on Malaysia Photographer. Getting developed rolls of film
back from a reunion or vacation is heartbreaking if something
went wrong (and even someone having their eyes closed, if it is
during a wedding portrait, is ¦¦something wrong¦¦). Before
deciding on any one photographer or photo studio, do some
comparisons. Look at the sample photos that you are shown and
ask if they have samples you can take with you.
