How To Select Camera Flashes

There are many types of flashes available in the market now a days due to technical advancement and globalization in the field of electronic gadgets. You have many options available in the market to choose the best flash to suit your needs. While shooting, flash light is very significant factor to decide the final outcome of photo shoot. They give proper lighting to the area so that camera can capture fine details of the object. Different ambient lighting conditions require different types of flashes. Regardless of the type of camera, whether it's a film type or a digital one, picking the right kind of flash for the camera is very critical to get the best results. So if you are going to the market to buy a camera, you should be aware of different types of flashes available in the market. I have covered some types here which are very popular now a days.

1. Fixed Flash:- They are part of the camera, and they use battery of the camera as their power source. These are suitable for routine photography and their use requires very less technical knowledge.The downside of these type of flashes is that, they drain camera battery very fast, and they don't help us to produce very high quality picture.

2. Dedicated Flash Units:- They are compact units with their dedicated power supply. They do not use camera battery so the life of camera battery is better in this case. These flashes fit in the camera shoe slot. They take inputs from camera circuit about the focal length of the lens, ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to accurately calculate the required intensity of flash. This feature can play a vital role in enhancing the quality of the images. These types of flashes can improve the picture quality to a great extent.

3. Xenon flashes: - These are useful in taking casual pictures, but sometimes they are used by professional photographers to take daylight pictures. They are very efficient while taking pictures under sunlight. These are very popular with the beach pictures and casual modelling photo shoot. The down side of these flashes is that they are not very effective in the low light conditions and this may result in a low quality picture in low ambient lighting conditions.

Out of these flashes listed here, you may select flash most suited to your shooting requirements. Proper camera and flash combination can create wonderful results.

What Makes Some Photographs Better Than Others?

Image
Art is so subjective that there is no correct answer to this question. But there are some things that can help you analyse a photograph. I find it interesting that the majority of people can tell the difference between an average and a great photo and choose the 'better' one, but struggle to articulate why. Here are some of those harder to explain things that might draw them towards the 'better' picture (I'm sure there's many more things I've missed, we never stop learning): Lines - are the strongest design element in a picture. Without lines you can have shapes, patterns or textures, they are everywhere! The strongest of these lead your eye through the different elements in photographs. Shape, pattern & contrast - The shapes of your subject and background elements, and how these interact will tell your story. Our brains are pre-programmed to look for these things. One of your main challenges as a photographer is to demonstrate a 3D world o

Photography - Its History and the Earliest Techniques

Image
The word 'photography' is of Greek origin coming from the combination of 'photos' meaning 'light' and 'graphein' which is 'to draw'. It pertained to the use of light or any related radiation to record images on a sensitive material and was first used in 1839 by Sir John F W Herschel, a scientist. The history of the camera, to speak of it as a piece of equipment involved in taking photographs, goes beyond the introduction or the subject of photography. When we delve into how the camera evolved from its very early days to a highly sophisticated and complex electronic gadget, there are parallels to be drawn in the evolution of cameras and photographic technology beginning with the 'camera obscura' and running through others such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, dry plates, film and finally the digital camera. 'Camera Obscura' or the Pinhole Camera The origin of the camera began with the 'camera obscura' which c

How To Combine Photographs

Image
The problem is, that even though there are many different platforms to showcase your photographs on, you may want to combine multiple images together to create one brilliant image. In the past, the thought of combining photographs was silly. Technology was not at the brink that it is currently at. Therefore, the photographs that you were able to capture with your camera were the photographs that you had to show people. Not anymore, there are tons of tools that can be used to combine multiple photographs together, allowing you to create an incredible picture that no one has probably ever seen. Just about anyone can be a photographer these days, with as many camera devices as we keep. With this in mind, not everyone that takes photos is proud of the photos that they have taken. There are a few people that are lucky enough to take incredible photos every single time that they pick up a camera. However, modern day people with no professional training, takes photos so they can
