Just recently I started shooting with friends and family, I just wanted to understand how the camera works before I shot people. I recently made my friend drive to a random forest, I liked the lighting of the trees and the colors, so I figured that we could get some color in my first shoot with people. While in the forest I looked for good lighting, so I made it look like a bright image when it was developed. The sun went down really fast so we didn't have much time to waste and the trees covered most of the light. The lighting in the forest that we were in wasn't blocked by buildings or anything so the lighting looked very natural and untouched. I think I came to the conclusion that natural lighting make the image look better and way more natural.
I later looked back at the images and found that since I didn't use a real model, the shots that were more in the moment turned out way better. Bokeh means "blur" or "haze" when translated from Japanese. When attempting to get Bokeh in an image you typically want to use a faster lens. The faster the lens the better your Bokeh will turn out. You'll also want to shoot with the lens wide open, and also you will need to adjust your shutter speed and your aperture. If you are unable to adjust or if you just don't know how adjust these things on your camera you can change the distance between you and the main subject. But, one major change you almost always have to adjust is the focus/ autofocus on the camera. Bokeh means blur or haze so, if you truly want to achieve Bokeh in your images then you want to include some sort of of blur or haze in your image.
Film is not deadFilm over digital has been an easy choice for many. Film became "out of style" when digital started getting more and more popular. But, it's starting to have a major comeback.
Taking a photo on your cell phone is easy and fast but, when shooting film it makes you stop and slow down. It lets you take in the moment where as on your phone you snap the image and move on. It also helps people not technology advanced. The pictures are permanent, unlike digital. It is more likely to lose a photo digital than to loss a physical image. The digital image could easily get distorted and it could stay that way forever. Some people think that the finished product of film just generally looks better than digital. Film has a older and crisp look to it. I prefer the look of film over digital just because I feel like film holds more of a memory than digital. Digital and film both have many advantages. Film cameras are very inexpensive unlike most digital cameras. Some people may enjoy the process of developing film cameras and other people may hate the whole developing process and just want the photos in that moment. Digital doesn't have to have a developing process, most of the time you can see you photos a few moments after you took the picture. Cites: petapixel.com |
