Indoor Photography: Tips To Snap Like A Pro!
TIPS FROM CANON!
Indoor photography may seem easy to the common eye but to achieve great indoor photography is different matter altogether. Here are some useful tips that will sky-rocket your skills to the next level with your handy DSLR camera.
These settings will allow you to see people or subjects in the foreground and still see the warmth of the room or features and lights in the background. Take notes!
Know Your ISO
Know your camera’s ISO limit. Learn when it starts to get grainy because that will help you push your photography skills to its limit without messing up the outcome of your picture.
Take Control
It’s time to take the training wheels off and get out of the automatic mode. Take control of the all-important shutter speed! This exceptionally affects your picture quality when you are using artificial lights, such as fluorescent ‘tube’ lights, Speed lights and so forth.
This is because light bulbs flicker at a high frequency rate that doesn’t appear visible to our naked eye. However, their unwanted flickering effects might be picked up by your camera when you are shooting at nearly the same frequency it’s flickering. And you will notice the blue and orange streaks of light in your photos due to that.
Daylight for the Win
As mentioned above, artificial daylight can be a tricky process due to its flickering frequency. And if you’re willing to withstand the heat instead of deal with artificial lighting, daylight is your hero! After all, the only thing that needs tweaking is your settings (and that’s one less thing to worry about because lighting is preset by nature).
Use a Reflector!
Probably the cheapest piece of equipment you can possibly buy for your camera is a reflector! Get one now and be amazed with its many uses.
Lighting Mistake
Overhead lights have the tendency to cast unflattering shadows that exaggerates details. This can be a problem when your object of shooting is people, simply because it will expose unwanted wrinkles and eye bags.
A simple solution would be to have your subject(s) take a few steps back from the light source to allow light to be bounced off the floor onto the subject instead.
Absolute Stability
It’s always helpful to shoot on a tripod. Nothing can match the stability of the inanimate tripod, even if you’re a professional photographer. Remember, there’s nothing embarrassing about using a tripod nor does it indicate that you are a new to photography.
