MeowPrince Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi Meow Prince,Care to share tips on your special multi-exposure??? I am a newbie to photography... I'm using canon 70d... Does not matter which dSLR. As long as it has an overlay/multi-exp function, and you maintain consistent exposure each shot."Special"? Not really, I'm usually too lazy to bother to shoot such :oops: Oh.... you need a tripod too. Quote Instagram @the_meowprince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelix Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I just bought a DSLR D5300 and have been learning to take pictures. To my dismay, my photos are not as stunning as those I seen on the web and I feel quite discouraged. Is there a book/website that teach the basics of photography? By the way, what sort of programme should I use as a beginner with no prior knowledge in any editing software to edit my photos?

TamPenis Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think most of us started at that stage too. You need to practise, explore and know your camera well. I came to realised that different lenses do bring out different effect on your photo. You may wish to rent these lenses through Camera Library or Camera Rental Centre.But for now, practise, explore and know your camera first... " break the ice" and do not get disheartened if your pic doesn't come out as what you want it to be. Do your composition and try different angles.Lastly, join the outing organise by Meow Prince. It's the best way to pick skills too. Quote If I cant feel it, I aint faking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TamPenis Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yes, they are specific to each brand but of course there are 3rd party lenses like Sigma which come with either Nikon or Canon mount.But hold your horses for now... With the kit lens that you have, like I said... practise, explore and know your camera, first Quote If I cant feel it, I aint faking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the kit lens that you have, like I said... practise, explore and know your camera, first I know. I always have the lighting problem. I have no idea when should I crane up the ISO or increases the shutter speed. Does it make a difference? By the way, how do people take pictures where the background or the subject is selectively blurred?

MeowPrince Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I just bought a DSLR D5300 and have been learning to take pictures. To my dismay, my photos are not as stunning as those I seen on the web and I feel quite discouraged. Is there a book/website that teach the basics of photography? By the way, what sort of programme should I use as a beginner with no prior knowledge in any editing software to edit my photos?Congrats on your purchase, may it bring you much joy, confusion and frustation in the upcoming hours/days/weeks/months. What is your benchmark of "stunning"? Quote/show a couple of examples and perhaps some of us can attempt to enlighten you.But do note that a picture is only as good as the person behind the camera. And a good person/enthusiast/photographer is one who can consistently produce good pictures most of the time. Even though its sad that this fact is often glossed over and forgotten by the schools in Singapore (and the people in general). Basics you can read up from simple sources, including those Dummies' Guide books. Just make sure you cover the following :- - ISO, shutter speed, aperture, P-mode (what are they, where are they on the camera, and what each does) - Flash and different basic uses of flash (just know the basics, don't have to understand or memorise every damn thing) - what are the most common genres (Portraits, street, landscape/scenic, architecture, macro, nature/wildlife, abstracts, still life, events, night scene) - composition basics (again you don't need to remember everything, just the first 2-3 of the list) After you play around with the above, then maybe you may want to consider software toys. There are the simple Instagram types (mostly freeware) and there are the more "pro" stuff like PhotoShop or Lightroom. Depends on what you want to achieve then. Are lenses camera specific?Each camera brand and range may have their own compatible lenses. That depends on what you use.In your case, the D5300 is a Nikon F-mount. So you can use anything that's made for the F-mount (Nikon). First-party Nikon-made lenses, or third-party (usually cheaper) lenses from Tamron, Sigma, Tokina, or even the more esoteric makers like Zeiss may have convertor mounts. Then, its time to confuse yourself! There are lenses for a variety of uses, or mission-specialised gear. Ultra-wides, superzooms, 2.8s, fast lenses, cheapies, portraits, macros, birders, VR, teleconverters, telezooms, primes, tilt-shift (PC), fisheyes, Defocus Control, etc etc etc. Each type may have more than one lens in its category, and different focal lengths to choose from. So strange numbers may pop up like 14-24, 10-24, 10.5, 16, 24/1.4, 85, 60, 50/1.4, 50/1.8, 35, 24-120, 18-55, 18-140, 18-200, 17-55, 17-50, 24-70, 70-200, 105, 135, 300, 80-400, 600/f4, blah blah...That's only part of the fun!Best of all is - You do not need to venture into this for a while yet. I know. I always have the lighting problem. I have no idea when should I crane up the ISO or increases the shutter speed. Does it make a difference? By the way, how do people take pictures where the background or the subject is selectively blurred?Refer to the earlier responses above. Blurring can be artificial (Photoshopped) or out-of-camera. The latter relies on either (a) technique or (b) lens. Most people use (b). The truly skilled ones know how and when to use (a) or (b) or both. Good luck.
