Photographing TECHNIQUE

According to the Photo Journalism, photographing technique is a way of capturing the know how to stage shooting.
Let us discuss a bit about the stages of shooting before we discuss the technique of photographing. There are several steps that must be considered before we started shooting, the composition, focus, speed and aperture. The fourth stage is important to note at the time of photographing to be able to produce technically good photographs.
PHASE capturing
The composition is set by selecting a point of interest of an object. Point of interest is something that the most prominent object in a photograph. The composition of the first rank to be considered at the stage of photographing. This is because setting the composition of the photographs can only be set by the photographers themselves and can not be replaced by the camera. This is different from other functions such as focus, speed and aperture. In automatic cameras, three things can be replaced by the camera.
After setting the composition, we must set the object to be the focus of our photos. Point of interest is the main thing that should be focused. Focusing can be done by turning the focus ring on the lens or adjust the camera distance to the object image.
The next stage is setting the pace. The purpose of this speed is the movement of the curtains opening and closing according to the selected speed button. The faster the movement to open and close the curtains so the fewer incoming light. Whereas if the movement the slower the more incoming light. The faster or slow movements of this curtain is shown in the figures contained in the camera.
The diaphragm is often also called the aperture. This is the last thing on stage shooting. Last but not least, because the aperture setting is also important in order to produce good photos. His theory is almost the same as the speed that the principle of the human eyeball. The smaller the aperture the less light enters and vice versa.
But there is little difference between the diaphragm and speed. The numbers shown on the camera is inversely proportional to the size of the openings. So the smaller the number that indicated the greater the lens aperture. Meanwhile, the greater the number the smaller the lens opening.
In addition to more or less light, depth of field or a sharp space can also be arranged through the diaphragm. The theory of space is sharp, the greater the aperture, the more narrow space or sharp objects that can difokus. Meanwhile, the smaller the lens aperture, the more living space than the object image sharp. Examples of the use of sharp sempir space is when we want to make a photograph a person's face. That looks sharp just face it, while the background is not sharp.
BACK TO TECHNICAL photographing
Now that we know about the stages of shooting, we will continue the discussion about the shooting technique. there are actually many techniques in the shooting. but we will focus our discussion on the techniques most often used.
The first is to freeze the meemotert technique on a moving object with as if it stops moving object. This technique uses a high speed so that the object as if frozen. Usually this technique is used for photographing sporting events like football and motor racing.
The panning technique that can be said, the opposite of the freeze technique. In this technique, a picture meant to show the effects of motion on a moving object. Effects of motion displayed on the background of the photo. This technique is done by moving the camera with the direction of moving objects sealur. To perform this technique, it takes the form of a tripod camera aids. In addition to the resulting background is not chaotic, this technique requires the use of low-speed both of which require that the camera is not much rocking.
The next technique is that zooming is a technique to produce a photo shoot with effects such objects away / closer to the camera. At the moment the shutter button is pressed, the zoom ring is moved apart or together to get the desired results. Like panning techniques, low speed is required in using this technique that we have enough time to rotate the zoom ring.
If the technique of panning and zooming requires low-speed, then as for techniques that allow us to adjust the velocity of opening and closing shutter curtain. This technique is called the bulb technique. This technique is usually used for shooting in low light conditions such as at night. While the priority of speed can not help to get the normal lighting, it is used this technique.
Another technique is the double / multiple exposure. This technique is a technique that is quite interesting because it produces images that are unique. In one photo frames we can produce a photograph the same person with different poses. To produce these images is recommended to use a tripod so that the resulting image does not shake. Should choose a dark or black background in order to build a good image object and not chaotic.
Macro photography is a technique that allows us to photograph an object of rare very close. Usually this meant shooting at close range to get the detail and texture of an object. This technique requires a special lens. But if we do not have a special macro lens, we can work around this by using a standard camera lens we are in reverse. And of course it would be more difficult than using a macro lens.
Another interesting technique is the silhouette. This technique puts the light source is directly behind the object. Thus the object will appear dark. Speed ​​and aperture settings depending on the existing light memotretan last time. Required accuracy in the speed and aperture so that objects that were recorded have the right contour and sharpness.
Mastery of photographing the stages and techniques are essential for a photographer. This course must begin by knowing that we will use a camera to take pictures. Due to recognize the camera we use, we can use the facilities so well that produces images with perfect technique.
Drafting PHOTOS
Concept in photography is a general statement of the idea behind a photograph (the statement of an idea in a photograph). The statement can be seen from the object of a photograph or techniques used in taking photographs.
Photos can be said to be good if the concept was conceived by photographer can be understood by individuals who saw the photo. This refers to the principle of communication. A communication was declared effective if the messages from the communicator can be up to the communicant and interpreted together with the intention of the communicator itself. This is because photography itself is a process of communication.
Therefore the maturation of a concept is needed before photographing an object. By finalizing the idea first, we can know what we will object portraits and what techniques we use so as to reinforce the message to the object. And also we can learn the tools of photography what we need to take pictures.
Many of the photographs made with a fairly simple concept so people can instantly get the message in the photo. However Adapaun photos that require careful thought before we can grasp the message implicit in the photograph.
Commercial photos and images in Journalism, a message that we catch tend to be fairly easy. Because if not so then the product (in a commercial photo) or news (in photo journalism) can not be captured by photo connoisseur. This then affects the success of the sale of products or news.
While at the Fine Art photographs, photo interpretation tend to require deeper thinking. Because by looking at objects or shooting techniques are not sufficient to interpret the photograph itself. Sometimes it was so hard, the audience of this type of photo needed help the photographer to interpret the photograph.
There are several opinions about how to conceptualize a photograph. It is argued that long before we shoot, we have to prepare a concept that has matured. It's easier for us in selecting the object image and using what techniques in the photo. In addition to the concept of a mature, photos that we produce can have a pretty strong message.
But there are some photographers who argued that the concept may appear a few seconds before you press the shutter button on the camera. Because of course when we think how to frame an object. And that's where photo drafting occurs.
If you see this second opinion, then we can conclude that there are two kinds of drafting. The first is the drafting drafting spontaneously performed just before the shutter button is pressed. The second is the need of drafting a long time.
Typically to produce images of Commercial and Fine Art photographs required drafting a long time. The idea to produce photographs of this type had to be boiled thoroughly before being executed.
Commercial photo is usually the object of an item or service to be marketed. The formulation of a mature concept is indispensable in making this type of photo. Because later Commercial photo is a manufacturer of communications media in the image is an effective strategy in marketing a product.
While the work of Fine Art photographs formulation of the concept is needed, so photographers can idealism embodied in a photograph. Because the meaning of fine art photographs themselves need careful thought, then of course the inception of the concept itself requires considerable depth of thought as well.
Drafting in photo journalism, in contrast with a photo Fine art or commercial. In making photojournalism does not require a long drafting process. But that does not mean this photo does not need a draft. Although it sounded spontaneous, but very necessary concept needed to produce photos of Journalism in order to produce images that can later be told.
Some people think that the concept of the photograph is not required to be made. They consider that the concept could be made or it could be abandoned. Because according to them to make the concept in advance, can narrow the space and their creativity. So they do not have a chance to be creative. They think instinct is the most important. Due to the sharp instincts, they can easily find an interesting object to be photographed.
But what does not realize is, a concept presented itself in a photographer shortly after she intended to photograph. The concept emerged without us knowing. When we decide where we're going to take pictures, the camera what would we wear, when we will go and other considerations, that's when we conceptualize.
The concept of the photography itself is the idea that we pour in a photograph. So it is not possible we can produce a work of photo, regardless of whether it taupun not, without a draft. Since then the concept of a work without photos will not be created. Really not?
WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT?
There are many things that made the debate by the lovers of photography. One of the interesting debate is which is more important, the mastery of technique or drafting a well in producing a work of photo.
A little summary of what has been described previously, the photographic technique is a way of photographing an object. The techniques are often used namely freeze, panning, zooming, bulb, double / multiple exposure, macro and silhouettes. While the concept of photography is the idea contained in a photograph. Without a concept we will not be able to produce a work of photographs, regardless of whether it works or does not photograph well. The concept would present itself in a photographer when he decided to take pictures.
Ethics and aesthetics is something that must be considered in producing a work. No exception is also in producing works of photography. Ethics represented on photographic technique. As photographic techniques have been mastered so a photographer can produce good photos are photos according to the ethics of science of photography itself. While the concept will bear the aesthetic or beauty of a work of art. If the photo has an interesting concept and can be conveyed to the audience of the picture image can be regarded as a beautiful photo or have the aesthetic.
Then comes the question what is more important between the concepts and techniques, then the answer is the concept. Why is the concept? Due to the concept, the message to be conveyed in the photos can be captured by photographers well by people who saw the photo. The photo can speak volumes and contain a strong message.
As alluded to earlier, that photography is a process of communication. Message from the communicator will be conveyed by both the communicator communicator jelly when selecting a channel messenger and the message is packaged. If the observant communicator read communicant then he will come up with a good communication strategy so that the message can be up to. As this is the drafting of photography.
The technique of photography itself is actually included in the drafting. By conceptualizing what we will choose the technique that we will use. The selection technique is similar to choosing a good strategy to mean be passed on to communicant communicators in the communication process. By choosing the proper technique the more powerful message in the resulting image.
The concept is very important because with good drafting those photographs are able to speak or tell. Photos that are less terkonsep it will be flat or seem not to have a message even though it was technically good.
So if a beginner wants to learn the science of photography, where he had to learn first? Although the concept is more important, in the beginner stage technique should be studied first. In this way, concepts that have to be channeled in a photographic work. If you are a beginner learn the concepts first then worry about going astray level drafting course. And can not work because it is not executed due to lack of knowledge about photography technique.
Learning should be gradual. No exception to learn photography. Early stages is known photographic techniques so that we can understand the capabilities of our cameras. After that we just learn how to conceptualize a good thing because with it we can produce a good photographic work as well as beautiful.
