How to take Silhouette Photographs

-
Silhoutte photography is the art of creating the outline of the subject.The Back light of the subject is the most important thing.That the effect of back light gives the wounderful silhouette photographs.
These back light of the subject gives the shadow like images that results the silhouette images.

This image is taken at kanyakumari(tamil nadu). The statue of Thiruvalluvar. with my nikon D3300 DSLR.


camera settings:
Lens : 18-55mm
Aperture : f/8
Mode : manual mode
Shutter speed : 1/500
Post processing with : snapseed,picsarts (mobiles)
TIPS :
  • Set your camera in to manual mode.
  • Change the aperture to f/8,for the deep depth of field.
  • Focus on the back light while your subject is darker.
  • Set as normal shutter speed between (1/150-1/500)seconds.
  • After taking the image post process that by using the apps like snapseed,light room,picsart, photoshop etc.
  • If you are using the mobile then simply focus on the light and take the image.if your mobile have manual (pro)mode then follow the above settings.

Three pillars of photography

-
Image
In photography,if we have to take correct and creative photographs we must consider the pillars in photography.they are called as "EXPOSURE TRIANGLE".These three are mutually related together.it is not easy to understand by the learning through paper or an article.it required more practical experience to understand those three concept.                    1.ISO                   2.aperture                   3.shutter speed 1.ISO: ISO denotes the concept of brightness,it will decide the quality of photographs and the presence of grains in the image.if the image has more grains even in low aperture that the more light is tends to the sensor of the camera.ISO is the adjustment that present in the camera settings,as 100,200,400,800,1600,3200,6400,12800.....etc. The above image shows the  variation of ISO. If the image has the ISO of 100,2...

DSLR - Digital Single Lens Reflex It is the image capturing machine,that the RBG sensor absorb the light form the lens and process that light to the image.the light source from the lens travel from through the certain mirrors and PENTAPRISM is tends to show the image through the view finder. In this the path of light is travel through the lens(way of aperture) to the mirror ,this mirror is placed at an angle of 45 degree.that the light source is turns perpendicularly and reflect in the pentaprism, that prism will shows the image to a view finder.also that mirror is  movable up  and down.  During the time of pressing the shutter button of the camera that mirror is moves upward and the light source is directly absorb by the sensors.the sensor is placed back to the mirror. Basically they are in two type that 1. Filmed SLRs ,  2. Digital SLRs 1.Filmed SLRs: In olden days the storage in the camera is in the film role.that stores the images ...

what is sensors in camera

- SENSOR is the heart piece of the camera, that is very sensitive to light. which absorb the light source from the lens and convert it in to the image.the sensor consist of lot of pixel that is arranged in it, each pixel   has absorb it own pixel value that is denoted by numbers. -The number of pixels present in the sensor that decide the   resolution of the sensor and cropped capacity of the image.there are so many type of   sensors like full frame sensor,crop sensors,mobile sensors,etc these sensors are varied by their sizes. -APS sensors-Advanced Photo System. -These pixels are sensitive to RBG(red,blue,green). -In the camera the sensors absorb the light source and process that by the pixel count to convert it to -the image. -The resolution of the image is generally depends on the pixel size and secondly the number of pixels present in the s...
