Shutter Speed

Shutter speed sometimes also referred to as ‘exposure time’ and on other occasions simply called ‘exposure’. Modern DSLRs contain a piece cloth/plastic between the sensor and the lens. This is called the ‘shutter’. When we click to take a picture the shutter (the piece of cloth/plastic I mentioned above) opens and records light for the duration we have set it to stay open. This exposure records the light on camera’s sensor. The shutter then shuts down to end the exposure and saves the picture on to your camera’s memory card.

Reducing digital noise non-destructively

Every low light photographer knows it well that digital noise is something they’ll have to deal with when photographing in dimly lit environment or at night.

Here’s how you can clean digital noise from your photographs.

1. Open a photo that contains visible digital noise.

Selling your photos online

Ok here we go. In order to make decent income from selling your photos online, you’ll have to upload around 500 good quality pictures per month! It may sound a lot but hey you are a photographer. Right?

On the other hand if you’re an exceptional photographer and Photoshop artist, you can make substantial amount of income every month by uploading just 10-20 wow images per month. Enough income to buy gear and get yourself a nice holiday in Caribbean! Please bear in mind though your pictures will have to have ‘themes’ or it will have no use for buyers.

 

 

 

 

Shutter speed

Shutter speed is one of the three pillars of photography. Shutter speed, aka exposure time, or sometimes also called just an exposure. All digital single lens reflex cameras (DSLR) have a piece of cloth, between the lens and the camera’s sensor, called ‘shutter’. When you press the ‘shutter button’ to take a picture, it opens the cloth (shutter) for certain period of time to let light in on your camera’s sensor. It will then shut back to finish the exposure and save the picture on your memory card. Depending on your camera you can set your camera’s shutter speed to:

Bulb or sometimes only denoted by letter ‘B’, 30″, 20″, 10″, 5″, 1″, 1/2, 1/5, 1/10, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/4000, 1/8000 

Shutter speed creates dramatic effects by either freezing action or blurring motion. If the shutter speed is fast, for example 1/500 of a sec, it can completely freeze action.
