High-Speed photography

High-speed photography is capturing the moments that happen in a fraction of time which you can’t see with the naked eye, like a bursting balloon or a splash of water.
camera settings required:

Camera mode: Bulb
Aperture: f/11 – f/16
ISO: 100 – 400
Focus: ManualFlashes with the lowest power setting possible.

Work flow

Set your camera on a tripod with a shutter release cable. Set the lowest possible ISO, go for 100 and increase it only if you don’t have enough flash power. Then, set the aperture between f/11-f/16, focus manually, and leave the camera. Now you need to train someone to press the shutter release button on your mark and release it as soon as the flash has been fired.

Your job is to do the action using one hand (like bursting the balloon, playing the beats or releasing the water drop) and fire the flashes using a switch at the perfect moment. You’ll need some practice but eventually, you will do it accurately.

Keep the theme of simplicity going when it comes to composition and lighting. All of the photos you see in this article were taken in natural light , sometimes with...

True Candids

Candid photography is all about understanding and capture unplanned moments of someone’s emotions, be it cheerfulness or tears. The skill you’ll want to develop as a photographer is the ability to take notice and observe. Photographers will look far and wide, over the crowds and through the landscape looking for that one in a million shot. Having a camera ready is essential. Taking shots of friends and family can be tough because they are most likely aware of you and what you’re doing and therefore they become distracted. If you want to get good shots of your friends, the focus has to be on something else other than the camera. Get them talking about something that they like. Your goal for doing this is to try to get them to forget you’re carrying a camera. One issue that you’ll have to deal with is having a balance between those who love to have their picture taken and those who are shy. Considering they’re your friends and you know them well, you’ll be able to decid...
