Photo chosen

 This is portrait photo.I took this photo from below angle because can see her smile more clearly.Smile sweety.

 This is also portrait photo.I took this photo from a bit side angle because she is thinking something and her eye is looking very sharp so I choose black colour to took this photo.This model can see she has her own style person.

 This is taken when we go water park of KLCC.This photo give me colourful feeling.It will changing its colour and also the higher with the rhythm of music.

 This is KLCC tower.I lie down on the floor to took this photo because can see all view of KLCC.This photo is taken when almost to 8pm.This view give me cool feeling and bustling.

 This is perfume.This picture is taken in studio.The word on the perfume is very hard can see so I took many picture with difference angle and also control colour balance.

 This is also taken in studio.I took from side angle.

 This photo also taken in studio.I took the red wine as my main focus and behind look blur.I like this angle and this red wine make people wanna drink this.

 I took this photo from left hand side view.The red wine is looking very sharp in this picture and I also like there are some water on the table.

 I took this photo at Orchid Farm.This orchid is I took after the farmer water it so can see some drop on it.I focus on the orchid so behind is looking blur.This orchid become main focus.This orchid also looking very fresh for me.

I took this leaf because I see many people focus on taking picture on flower.So I took something difference like leaf.This picture also is one of I like.The drop on leaf is looking nature and sunshine that day is very nice.

This watch is taken in studio.I focus on the front watch to make is become the main object.This picture give me feeling of extravagance.

This picture also we taken in studio.It's looking sharp and give me a feeling that this watch I dare to near because its affordable.


APERTURE

The aperture is a small set of blades in the lens that controls how much light will enter the camera.  The blades create a octagonal shape that can be widened (we photogs call it shooting “wide open”), or closed down to a small hole.  Obviously, if you shoot with the aperture wide open, then more light is allowed into the camera than if the aperture is closed down to only allow a tiny hole of light to enter the camera.

So suppose you take a picture that is too bright.  How do you fix it?  Simply choose a smaller aperture.  Simple! Aperture sizes are measured by f-stops.  A high f-stop like f-22 means that the aperture hole is quite small, and a low f-stop like f/3.5 means that the aperture is wide open.

Let’s test your knowledge to make sure you have it down.  If you take a picture and it’s too dark at f/5.6, would you choose a lower f-stop number or a higher one?  Yep!  You’d choose a lower f-stop number, which opens up the aperture to let in more light. The size of the aperture controls more than the brightness or darkness of the picture, though.

The aperture also controls the depth-of-field.  Depth-of-field is how much of the picture is sharp, and how much is blurry.  If you want to take a picture of a person and have the background be blurry, you’d use shallow depth of field.  If you want to take a picture of a sweeping mountain vista, you’d want to use a small aperture size (high f-stop number) so that the entire scene is in sharp focus. If you, like me, are more of a visual learner, then I think this graphic will help solidify the information about aperture.  Take a minute and make sure you understand this info before moving on.

SHUTTER SPEED

The shutter is a small “curtain” in the camera that quickly rolls over the image sensor (the digital version of film) and allows light to shine onto the imaging sensor for a fraction of a second. The longer the shutter allows light to shine onto the image sensor, the brighter the picture since more light is gathered.  A darker picture is produced when the shutter moves very quickly and only allows light to touch the imaging sensor for a tiny fraction of a second. The duration that the shutter allows light onto the image sensor is called the shutter speed, and is measured in fractions of a second.  So a shuttedr speed of 1/2 of a second will allow more light to touch the image sensor and will produce a brighter picture than a shutter speed of 1/200 of a second. So if you’re taking a picture an it is too dark, you could use a slower shutter speed to allow the camera to gather more light.

Just as the aperture affects the exposure as well as the depth-of field, the shutter affects more than just the exposure.  The shutter speed is also principally responsible for controlling the amount of blur in a picture. If you think about it, it makes sense that the shutter speed controls how much blur is in the picture.

Imagine me sitting here at my computer desk waving to you (you don’t have to imagine very hard if you just look at the picture on the right).If you take a picture of me with a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second, then my hand will have moved in the time that the camera is recording the picture.  To get rid of the blur, you need to increase the shutter speed to around 1/320th of a second.  At this speed, my hand is still moving, but the camera takes the picture so fast that my hand travels only such a small distance that it is not noticeable in the picture.

ISO

The funny thing about ISO is that it is an acronym, but nobody really knows what it stands for.  It is always just called ISO even though it really stands for International Organization for Standardization.  Every once in a while, you’ll hear an older photographer pronounce it “I-so”, but almost everyone pronounces it “I.S.O.” The ISO controls the exposure by using software in the camera to make it extra sensitive to light.

A high ISO such as ISO 1,600 will produce a brighter picture than a lower ISO such as ISO 100. The drawback to increasing the ISO is that it makes the picture noisier.  Digital noise is apparent when a photo looks grainy. Have you ever taken a picture at night with your cell phone or your pocket camera, and noticed that it looks really grainy?  That is because the camera tried to compensate for the dark scene by choosing a high ISO, which causes more grain.

What constitutes a “high” ISO is constantly changing.  Camera companies are constantly improving the ability of cameras to use high ISOs without as much grain.  A few years ago, only the highest-end pro DSLR cameras could achieve 2,000 ISO, and now even entry-level DSLR cameras can shoot at this level.  Since each camera is different, you would do well to do a few tests with your camera to see how high of an ISO you can shoot at without making the image overly grainy.

Right now, you will commonly find new DSLRs that advertise expandable ISO ranges.
