Chapter 1 – Capturing the light-Have a look on its importance in photography “”Capturing light” can be considered as a key factor in sculpture of photography. If we fall an attention over the term of knack “photography” then we come to know the hidden significance of light capturing even in it. The term “photography” has been derived from two Greek words “phos” meaning “light” and “graphis” meaning “drawing”. The overall meaning of the literal word photography becomes “drawing with light”.

One can say that the quality of photography is directly proportional to the quality of light used in photography. The better the captured light would be the qualitative would be the photography. Let’s say, you are the one who is not using any sort of light in his/her photography. Then what would be the result. No image will be captured intensively. You will get only a solid pitched photograph image with lacking of captured light.

In the above image you can get to know the real importance of right captured light. The right quality, intensity, frequency and duration of captured light in the above image made the image enchanting and highly appealing. You can find even a single percent blurredness in the above picture and this is all the bliss of right capturing light during the photography.

How does a camera work? Camera’s functioning parallel to the functioning of an eye:

The eye of a being and the camera works in the same proportion. Both will captures whatever goes on in the scene. The only difference comes where the camera gives little deception. When you sits besides the window which is open and taking the light inside. The eye will take the scene as it is. But in such instances the camera will give a little deception. It will dominate the brightness of the window and will show the room too darker. The major reason behind this is, our eye can compensate with the light while camera cannot. Again you would confront the importance of managing the right light during the photography. Moreover, often the camera does not remain able to focus in the dim light. On contrary to this, our eyes compete in this instance as well. Let’s say a number of friends are sitting in the row of cinema. The light is dim and you want to capture photo. Here you would also have to adjust light otherwise picture will come blurred. Is photography dependent on the light? Yes, it’s a matter of fact that photography is dependent on light. You have to capture the light in the right proportion in order to capture the intensive photographs. Let’s find out on which factors of light the photography is dependant.

Direction of capturing light – An immersive factor in photography: Direction of captured light in the photography matters much. Yu have to focus from where the light is coming, in which direction it is going? Which angle the capturing light is making and so on. Moreover, look either the light is coming from behind or from front. It is totally changes the output of photographed image. Just like the light behind the subject results in making a silhouette. Moreover, the low captured light results in making long and long shadows. SO the bottom of story is, it is highly significant to keep the right direction of light. Intensity of light: Another important factor of light that influences’ the capturing images is the intensity of light. The intensity of light is directly related to shutter speed and aperture.

Color of the light: Now the photographs can be captured in more than one light. Above yellow color you can also use blue soothing color, black & white and even the red color. So maintain the right color of the light and get immersive photograph. Get some basics about light measures while taking a photograph: For professionalisms, capturing of light in their right measure is mandatory for giving incredible output. Let’s have a look on which focal measure you ought to keep light for getting better results. In the case you want to capture a poppy sharp image, and then you will set your apparatus in a way that you will set that f-stop as 2.8 or 4.5. Moreover, you would have to set ISO of the camera. The ISO of the camera usually sets up the sensitivity of the light within the studio. For sake of keeping the light up to an optimal level you will keep the ISO at 400. Moreover, you can bring the ISO up to the level of 800if you want to give darker effects.

Chapter 2 – Capturing the light: Simple tips on how to better use the low light in photography Low light is something that is sometimes brought consciously while some times come unconsciously during the photography. Many times it happens that some cloudy weather just ruins the session of your photography by lowering the amount of light. Moreover, another good factor is most of we people lives in the homes which are erected in a way that light is not clear in them. When we take photos inside the home on our bed it often come blurred because of low light inside the room. Another moment of misfortune for capturing the right light for photography is “night times”. Most probably in night settings the light’s glamour’s becomes more prominent in the light and thus ruins the photo of the face. Now in this chapter I am going to talk about how to take the tremendous photograph within the low light. I will cover the notions regarding how to avoid blurredness, how to use the lens and how to maintain ISO in the dim light in order to get enchanting photograph. Let’s have a look:

Get to know how to take chic photos in dim light: Make the shoot at high shutter speed – It will skip on blurriness in the image: Most of the time, dim light leads to the blurriness of the image. And the other leading factor for enhancing the blurriness is the shutter speed of camera. When the shutter speed of camera is adjusted low then it let the camera to shake and thus make the image blurred. In order to avoid the blurriness of image you can faster up the shutter speed of camera. Now if you want to get numerical measure of shutter speed of camera then come to know shutter speed depends on the focal length of the lens. Let’s take an example. If the focal length of the lens is 10-24mm then you can keep the shutter speed of 1/50th of the second. Moreover, an average shutter speed that is considered to be optimal for the day-today photography is 1/200th to the 1/250th per second is best. Decrease the aperture to let more light to pass through the lens:

Another incredible option for keeping the right capturing light for photography is to decrease the aperture up to the lowest level. In your camera you will get a ranged option for the aperture.

Another advantage you will get by lowering the aperture is to take the photograph at high shutter speed thus avoiding blurriness as well. Adjust shutter speed at maximum, aperture at minimum and lens of faster speed: Now get to know the accurate measures of all adjustments. Let’s understand with the help of an example. Let say you are using aperture at f/8.0 then your shooter speed will be 1/125th shutter speed. Now what you will do, you will lower to down the aperture up to f/5.6 from that of f/8.0. By doing so, automatically the shutter speed will get double up to 1/250th of the second. Now the lens you will use ought to be of f/1.4 or f/1.8. All such adjustments will give the right entry of the light through the lens plus avoid any sort of blurriness. Pick the lens with vibration reduction (VR)-Image stabilization (IS) technology: Use the new technology based lens which contain the facets of VR and IS. It will let the camera to make the shoot with maximum shutter speed and with four times slower than the other cameras. Such facets will let the camera to capture the image without blurriness and with right capture of light needed. Increase sensor sensitivity to collect light faster: Another way of collecting light faster for getting an incredible output is to increase the sensor sensitivity. You can increase the sensor sensitivity by enhancing the ISO facet of the camera. Now look at various ISO speed and its effect of shutter speed: 100 ISO = 1/25 second of shutter speed 400 ISO = 1/100 second of shutter speed

Same will be the way the ISO will affect the shutter speed of the camera. You can take the shutter speed of the camera up to the maximum level by increasing up the ISO of the camera. Where to stand for right light capture during photography: Another important factor that matters while capturing the photographs within the dim light is the location of the subject.

Just like the Nikon DSLR cameras comes with the facet of an auto focus in which you can adjust the camera from continue “C” mode up the single “S” mode. This single “S” mode of the camera will let the camera to focus on a single point which will in result start capturing a pointed sharp image of that point. Side by side you carry in to zoom in, adjusting the high speed of shutter and thus can take an immersive image of best captured light even in the dim light.
