#KHUSHPATELPHOTOGRAPHY

Hey there, myself Khush Patel,  I am full time filmmaker & photographer.

Posting photos on many platforms across here are some names

500px, Instagram, Facebook, unsplashed & YouTube.

Soon getting available on more platforms.
So here I am going to give you some ideas on manual mode settings on different devices.

Starting it with a picture took using manual mode,

For example, have look on this

  

This picture was taken on GoPro hero 7 black.

An, wide angle shot with fisheye effect enabled,

Manual mode on which we call (pro - tunes in GoPro),

You will get a good shot in auto mode.

But still capturing in manual mode will Definitely give you access to a wide number of settings in your hand.

Access you get in manual mode,

You can adjust shutter speed on your own choice, Can adjust ISO on your need, You get the option for flat picture (flat picture means, your pic will be almost a de-vibe camera won’t process colors on their own. And even you will color grade it better by your own need)

And GoPro pro – tunes will give you access to other EV COMP, which means exposure control.

WB Used for to well expose the picture to matchupwith atmosphere

Last option you will get is the sharpness option which totally depends on the picture which you’re capturing.

This it the layout for hero 7 black *

other model interference maybe different

If we talk about other Digital camera manual modes then that will give you more access to more features to handle.

There are so many different types of photography,

Some examples are :-

 landscape photography, event photography, concert photography, food photography, Fashion photography and many more

Let’s talk about Digital SLR

This is the option you will get in digital SLR

This Dial you find on the top of the Digital SLR camera which was used to switch between settings.
This was limited but on more advanced cameras you find

more options.

1^st option means (CA) - Creative Auto

Introduced on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLR the 'Creative Auto' (CA)mode is a camera setting that's designed to aid new users in achieving good quality

results without having to learn and understand  all of the camera's functions

and how exposure is set.

2^nd option means - Exposure Mode:Mode P (Programmed Auto) In mode P, the camera automatically adjusts shutter
 speed and aperture for optimal exposure.

You can, however, choose other aperture andshutter speed combinations that will produce the same exposure: this is called "flexible program".

3^rd option means - Shutter Priority

When your camera mode dial is set on AV, your camera is in Shutter Priority Mode
(S is used instead of TV on Nikon and many other cameras). In TV, the user manually chooses a shutter speed  setting while the camera automatically adjusts the aperture for each shot.

4^th option means – AV (Aperture priority)

For photographers who use SLR cameras,

 AV or A mode determines whether all the photograph is in focus

or part of.

For example : photographers can choose to have a sharp foreground and background, or they can blur the background.

5^th option means – Manual mode

Manual mode on a camera allows the photographer to determine the exposure

of an image by letting them select an aperture value and a shutter speed value.

This gives you ultimate control over the look of the photo, but you must have a

deep understanding of exposure and how shutter speed and aperture affect it.

6^th mode means - Bulb setting

The Bulb setting (abbreviated B) on camera shutters is a momentary-action modethat holds shutters open for as long as a photographer depresses the shutter-release

button.

7, 8 & 9 that used to quick change between manual settings like you

can use most in event photography or where everything goes fast

not have much time to thing on adjusting each and every time in that

 you can save your settings and use it by switching with that dial.

This is how a Digital SLR manual mode

interference looks like.

It’s more advanced and more of an option to
explore. Definitely beneficial for the one who are passionate, full time, want to more advanced photography then Digital SLRwill give you the most amazing option to explore & of course the best quality and RAW picture.

What does RAW picture mean,

A camera RAW image is an unprocessed photograph captured with a digital

camera. It contains the raw image  data captured by the camera's sensor (or CCD), saved in proprietary file format specific to the camera manufacturer. ... Because Camera RAW files are uncompressed, they take up more space than typical JPEG images.

Raw contains more data than JPEG files. More data means easier to edit,

more better picture.

One raw picture can be almost 20 MB file,

Depends on which camera you’re using.

Always suggest you to have a Small or large JPEG file for a lighter version of picture so if you want a quick edit and upload on social media or want to send a consumer client for approval then JPEG is best because it’s small in size so fast to transfer.

While RAW are really big after edits.

Let’s have an example of unedited

RAW picture took on Canon 5D mark IV

Setting used for picture:

f / 18 (how much bigger will be aperture

 number will focus more)

Shutter speed: 0,3sec

ISO: 100

Lens open: 16mm

Now setting for picture number 2.

f/18

shutter speed: 0,3sec

ISO: 100

Lens opening: 16mm

Polarized filter used for capturing,

Polarizer filter used for capturing

long exposure in day light which

gives your subject long exposure

effects without over exposing the picture.

This sheet you will help you to

understand the all 4 main things.
