Whenever I go out for a shoot, it doesn't matter who the model is, my goal is to create something beautiful that they can always look back at and 😊 be glad....

I was in church yesterday with just my camera, only natural light used.
You can see the settings on the camera.

5D mark III, 85mm 1.8 

I have had to answer the question of what settings should I use while shooting indoors and outdoor severally.

I will say it again, there is no fixed settings for outdoor or indoors photography.

The kind of lens you use, the amount of light available, the power of your light, the direction of light etc all have different ways it affects which settings you should use at a particular time and I place.

Exposure changes with time and place, so telling you which settings to use at a particular shooting time will be limiting you. Study your environment, the amount of light available, what you intend to achieve etc and then set your camera and light to get that .

I shoot on auto white balance because I will always color grade to my choice, so I don't have to be changing white balance Everytime...

I love bokeh always, I love the milky dreamy background blur, that's why I bought 85mm 1.8 even though I have a 50mm 1.8.

I'm aiming at getting a 70-200 2.8 or 135mm 1.8 because I want more blurry background.

If you love bokeh, then you shouldn't be afraid of using a wider aperture. Bring down your aperture to the lowest possible, this will help blur your background if you are like myself who doesn't know how to change background perfectly.

Using a wider aperture will require  that you learn how to focus with your camera. Focus point differ in different cameras and brands. Search on Google on how to set focus point on the camera you use....

I hope this helps someone....

Growth is one step after another

On 12:51 by Asholaart   No comments

Honestly speaking, I have learnt a lot from posting in groups than I could have known. I take all CC seriously and try my best to improve on my skills. I'm not yet there, but I'll keep pushing forward. I take courage in the fact that I'm no more where I was yesterday....

Growth is one step after another.....

I used two godox flashlights in the soft boxes and one for backlighting....

GROWTH IS A PROCESS AND ALSO A DECISION

On 23:59 by Asholaart   No comments

A photographer friend of mine shared his growth story as we were discussing.

My friend stared photography about 6 years ago without any formal training.

He saved up money from labourer daily jobs to buy his first camera. It's a point and shoot camera with no detachable lens or external light pot. He didn't have the opportunity to understand the function of iso, shutter speed and aperture.

He used this same camera to cover my traditional wedding in 2017.

Coming from this low can be such a big challenge because he had no one to support me, but God. Something, he was mocked, rejected and sidelined because of the kind of images he produced then, but he wasn't discouraged.

He started mingling with other Photographers and was hoping that someday he will have a camera with detachable lens and external flashlight.

In 2018, he bought an over-used Nikon D3100 for 35k with 55-200 kit lens. He couldn't do a lot with it because the lens was bad and the distance was too much for him to shoot from. 
He later saved and bought godox tt520ii flashlight and his images became better.

It wasn't good enough, but he appreciated (growth) the fact that he was making a little progress.

He use to cover a wedding event for 60k including video and photo book in 2018.

He later started hiring cameras and one guy usually gives him the camera with a prime lens. He doesn't know how to use the prime lens, so he doesn't even know the value, neither do my friend.

One day, my friend used the prime lens to shoot and saw the difference, that was when he saw some groups on Facebook and started hearing about aperture, shutter speed and iso. This should be around late 2018. He dived into it and learnt more. He then developed love for prime lens and made more research online about it.

This made his works even more better....

He could go hungry so that he can get something more that will improve his work. 

Today by God's grace, his having 5 cameras and variety of lenses. His not yet there, but he have gotten to a place where he have to appreciate God for how far he has brought him.

He shared his story to encourage someone or everyone that despite your challenges, you can rise and become one of the greatest.

Stay positive, stay focused and more importantly, stay Creative .
