Family Photography

this will be using a zoom lens, Aperture Priority f5.6, and photographing in evening light in a park.
Inside the room is less light 1/100
f. 4.5 ISO 100

This type of candid family photography works best when everyone is having fun, and no one feels the stress of trying to pull off a strong family portrait where the kids need to be perfectly still.

Usually you don’t need any Exposure Compensation, however, depending on the light in your environment, you may need slight Exposure Compensation adjustments either in the + or - side.

Normal Autofocus is fine (Autofocus Single, One-Shot autofocus)

Rapid Fire mode, Burst Mode will help you get the perfect facial expression because the camera takes many photos quickly, one after the other. You can choose the best one afterward. Keep your finger pressed on the shutter release button as long as you want the camera to fire.

It's very important to “shoot low”. Make sure that you are sitting or kneeling on the ground so you can photograph at the child’s eye level.

Encourage the parents to forget that there is a photographer and make sure they stay focused on playing with the child.

The Cloudy or Shade white balance settings will “warm-up” your family photos.

When it gets darker outside, increase your ISO to make sure that you are maintaining a fast shutter speed.

For this type of photography, the children should be the focus priority. The parents can either be sharp or slightly blurred.

Shoot also in the vertical camera position.
Rapid fireworks really well when the family is interacting on playground equipment such as swings.

Backlighting is a perfect type of light for family photos. Its when the light hits the back of the people creating a soft glow. Make sure that you use Exposure Compensation at +1 or so, or else your photo will be too dark.

Sometimes you may only want to get a closeup of the child, but still, see that the parent is involved.

Trying to direct kids to behave for photographers is the same as pushing string uphill or herding cats. It’s best to work their natural energy, and simply follow them around.

photograph through airplane windows

Before your flight, purchase a flexible rubberized camera lens hood. They are inexpensive and available at almost all camera stores, and online. Make sure you get the correct lens hood diameter for your particular lens.

When on the airplane switch your camera and lens to the following settings - Aperture Priority, and the lowest possible “f-stop number” (for example f5.6, f4.5, f2.8 etc).

If its bright outside, your ISO can stay low, such as ISO 100 or 200. If it is dusk or dawn, increase your ISO to 800 or a bit higher.

Place your camera so that your new rubber lens hood is gently pressed flush against the airplane window. Make sure that there is no “airspace” between the rubber lens hood and the surface of the window. This step is critical . . . if the rubber lens hood is not flush against the window, you could get reflections.

Take the photo, and enjoy the results!
You may be wondering why the rubber lens hood is so important. Well, the biggest challenge in photographing through windows is avoiding reflections in the glass.

Because the rubber lens hood is flexible, you can photograph through a window at an angle, yet still, avoid window reflections.

Landscape photography

ISO 100 shutter speed 3.2sec F11, 2sec F14
Use a small aperture F11 better
Focal point
Early morning and ‪after evening sun‬ in sharing
Look at the night and use the light Look for good skies
Walk around, take time to look around and find the best viewpoint
Always take the camera with you Wait and look around again
Don’t rush
After dark country and town will be best photograph
Go for evening picture full moon night
Most people not taking photos in night
Take landscape at night use the light of a bright moon
Rule of thirds still useful try the rule of thirds to balance an image
Capture the movement and use movement in picture
Make it very sharper very blurred
Have a polarizer and graduated neutral density filters
Take several photos with different exposures
Use the histogram
To show the scale of a scene, include a familiar subject
Use a wide angle lens and go vertical
Go for black and white Wintertime will good
Landscape mode
When everything in your picture has a sharp focus, we say that it has a “high depth of field”. This is opposed to “low depth of field” when the subject is sharp but the background is nicely blurred.

A result of high depth of field is that your picture is sharp from in front of your lens all the way to infinity, or the furthest away that you can see.

High depth of field photos also work for architecture photography, or any other genre of photography that requires sharpness throughout the entire picture space.

Use wide-angle lenses. Because of the physical characteristics of wide angle lenses, they naturally allow for a greater amount of focus sharpness (greater depth of field) than telephoto lenses.

If you have the 18mm-55mm “kit lens” with your camera, set your zoom to the widest amount, which is 18mm. Regardless of your lens, always set it to the widest amount, which happens to be the lowest “mm” number.
Landscape: it is popular to use a high “f-stop number” like f8, f11, f16, or f22. This is a good thing, as those higher f-stop numbers on your lens will give you a great depth of field. The drawback is that the higher the f-number, the more chance you will get a shaky picture. Thus the use of a tripod is recommended.
Another tip is to switch to Landscape mode, which has an icon that is shaped like a mountain.
When you switch to Landscape mode the camera chooses for you the appropriate Aperture (f-stop number) to get maximum focus sharpness in your picture.
The landscape mode is very useful when you want sharp focus throughout your entire picture.

Some useful f-stop numbers for landscape photography are anywhere between f8 to f22. The higher the f-stop number (like f22) the better the chance of focus sharpness throughout your entire picture. Don’t forget however, that when you increase the f-stop numbers you will progressively need the stability of a tripod!

When you step further away from your subject, you actually increase the chance of maximum focus sharpness

an aperture can actually get smaller or larger based on your desired amount of light flow into the camera.

The term f-stop or number is a measurement system that tells us how wide open the aperture is, or how small the aperture opening

Usual low f-stop numbers on lenses can be f2.8, f4, or f5.6. The f-stop number scale can go all the way up to f22 or f32.

On the front of your lens, there is a number 1 colon, and then another number. For example 1:3.5 This is the lens's lowest
f-stop number or you could also say the widest opening of the aperture.

At the lowest f-stop numbers of your lens, such as f3.5 or a similar number, your aperture is wide open to let a lot of light through.

When you change your aperture to a high f-stop number, like f16 or f22, the aperture opening becomes small, and lets only a small amount of light into your camera.


you need a tripod, your camera set to Aperture Priority with an aperture of f8 or f11, and white balance in Cloudy or Shade mode to “warm-up” the photos.

An artistic aspect that you can include in your landscape photos is to include the setting sun in your photo. You may need to slightly overexpose your photo to +1 or so using Exposure Compensation.

When you choose a higher f-stop number, you will get more focus sharpness throughout your entire picture. For example, f22 has more focus sharpness than f8. And f8 has more focus sharpness than f4. The higher the f-stop number, the greater chance that everything immediately in front of your camera will be focused sharply. This is good for landscape images.

Tripod usage is valuable because they give you the flexibility to choose any aperture that you want, and also a low ISO for good sharp, clean images.

If you have a dull sky in your landscape, simply avoid including the sky in your shot.

High depth of field means that everything from in front of your camera, all the way to the distant horizon has focus sharpness.

When photographing Landscapes with a low
f-stop number, only one section of the photo will be sharply focused. When using a high f-stop number, all, or almost all of the photos will have focus sharpness.

Travel Photography
Do research on your location before you depart. Instagram is a fantastic tool for deciding which locations you want to visit and photograph.

a single zoom lens is usually best for travel photography, for lightweight and easy

If you are in the market to buy a new camera, and plan to use it for travel photography, new Mirrorless design cameras are small, lightweight, very good quality, and great for travel.

If you do take a tripod, make sure it's a travel-sized tripod that you can pack in your backpack.

A sling-style bag is great for carrying your camera, as it is so easy to access your camera and lenses.

It's best to have multiple smaller sized memory cards, rather than one large capacity memory card.

Some lightweight computers are MacBook Air, iPad, and other portable laptops and tablets by other brands. Keep it lightweight!

Aperture Priority is a great mode for travel photography. f5.6 is a good Aperture number. When photographing inside with mixed lighting, switch to Auto White Balance. Increase your ISO when inside. ISO 400-800

When shooting outside you can lower your ISO. Change the white balance to Daylight or Cloudy.
The best time of day for travel photography is early in the morning and in the evening.

When you want to photograph an iconic or historical building, try to capture it in a way that is unique and not documentary.

Each night when you download the photos you can let them upload automatically to a Cloud.

focused not every time landmark like everybody doing.
What makes the subject interesting, finding interesting history.

Best mode AV/ F 5.6
Auto White Balance (ISO 800) average inside ISO 400-800
lower outside change W/B cloud or daylight good way
Early morning and evening also great and go different way doesn’t look with others
