PHOTOGRAPHY | Learn Photography

LEARN PHOTOGRAPHY 

Photography, is probably one of the most post popular hobby of all times. Photographic cameras have metamorphosed from the pinhole box camera of last century to its modern day single lens reflex (SLR) and view finder film cameras to the digital incarnation of today.  Virtually every modern cellphone incorporates  a digital camera and its manufacture's rather highlights camera features above phone features for very obvious reasons - only cameras makes memories with photographs.

Most people use these phone cameras to SMS pics to one another and taking the occasional picture of the dog, or a pic of a stunning set of rims on a car or of a sexy dudette passing by. Some use it to shoot their self portraits (selfy), others for family pics, pics around the office and the company picnic. But, there is a whole lot more to photography than this. Continuous tone photography (film) is far superior to digital photography, but with care, good lighting, composition and steadiness a picture of equivalent appearance can be had, though not equivalent quality. I have been involved in photography since before the invention of sliced bread and dare say that I have hoards of experience with all type of cameras, even plate cameras. As you may all know by now, there is no substitute for experience, so with this blog, I will try to impart some of this experience and photographic knowledge to those who are interested and willing to learn the art of photography.

If its digital photography you interested in, I will cover that in later blogs when I discuss picture manipulation, compositing and other Photoshop techniques. Initially I will be covering cameras and the various gadgets and attachments. I will also cover the differences between cameras and or guinea pig will be an SLR (single lens reflex) camera which we will use to explain lens apertures, F stops and shutter speeds. I will only briefly touch on view-finder cameras because I believe hardly anyone still wants to use them, or even use them anymore. I will mainly concentrate on 35mm cameras with interchangeable lenses. Hassleblad, Contax and Bronica medium format cameras will be covered under professional photgraphic equipment as well as closeup photography for advertising (jewelry) and zoology (insects).

So, I welcome you to "Learn Photography" and hope you will derive much benefit from it. Wedding photography is a fairly lucrative business, so start today.  Contact PhotoJani for your wedding Photgraphic needs 0847458258
