    What is the sensor size of your mobile  as compared to full frame DSLR?

     

    The sensor size of a full-frame DSLR is 36mm X 24mm i.e. 864sq.mm. Whereas, the sensor size in mobile phones diagonally measuring 1/2.5″ is 5.76mm X 4.29mm i.e. 21.71sq.mm. Thus we can see a major amount of difference in the sensor sizes which in turn affects the image-detail-capturing ability of the camera.

    (IS)Image Stabilization and VR(Vibration Reduction)   are proprietor terms used by Canon and Nikon respectively, for the technology they have incorporated in their lenses to counter the effect of Camera-shake that leads to blurry and unsharp images. Simply put, while shooting with the camera – hand-held, it leads to a small amount of shake due to the hand movements  or sudden reflexes. This leads to camera-shake which results in blurry images.

    What IS or VR does, is, detects the movement that leads to the shake and accordingly moves the optical image inversely so as to counter the effects of the motion. This can be seen through the view-finder whenever we try to focus on a subject.

    Did you know: A good sky day is very essential for shooting architecture ?

     


    Photographer: Harika Chanana

    A good sky for shooting architecture is as important, as choosing the right lens, the right aperture settings, the right viewpoint or even the right distance.The sky is the main light source for lighting up your subject, which is the architecture in this scenario. Therefore the placement of the sun, is really important. Position yourself at the right spot in the right time of the day, and the shadows might turn out to be just perfect.

    Also the sky becomes the background in most of the scenarios, hence the time of shooting is again very important. Weather you want a nice blue sky with clouds, or a nice dusky morning, or the orange and red sunset, makes a huge impact on the beauty of the subject. The usual dull white sky during the sun’s peak in its cycle, can be avoided.

    Hoardings, wires etc  do not add to the appeal of the image. Take care of composition, so that all disturbing and negative elements can be avoided altogether.

    Did you know:
    Dawn and Dusk are the best time for Silhouttes ?

    Photographer: Minitesh Tapre

    Dawn is the time right before the sun rises, and dusk is the time right before the sun sets. They last usually for a few minutes, and give some amazing back lighting. That is primarily because the sun light’s intensity is so low, that the bounced and reflected light from any other subject is negligible as compared to other times of the day.

    Photographer: Minitesh Tapre

    Hence the camera registers light primarily, only from one direction. In such a situation, the camera’s metering system shall meter to get the exposure of the backlight properly. Therefore making the foreground or the subject completely black. Thus, making it perfect scenarios for shooting silhouttes.
