4 ways to keep your subject sharp and in focus when shooting video

By

Learn some specific and useful strategies for maintaining camera focus while filming a subject without assistance. Here you can learn more about using auto-focus, moving with your subject, shooting through a smaller hole, or manually adjusting focus while moving. Each method has it’s own gains, learn more about how and when to use each to help capture great video, even when shooting solo.

Key Takeaways:

  • Lock focus and move with your subject.
  • Hold camera and stabilizer in one hand and focus with the other.
  • Shoot at a high aperture and use your cameras auto focus feature.

“Keeping the same distance from your subject for the whole shot means that your subject will stay in focus the whole time.”

School Sports Layout

By

Don’t let your kids’ school accomplishment awards pile up around the house. It is simple to create a layout with their awards. Be creative and use colors that match the items you are working with. It can be a simple project that turns into a cherished keepsake. The layout can be added to a scrapbook or picture frame.

Key Takeaways:

  • The best way to celebrate a child’s win, after working so hard, is to make a blue ribbon sports collage!
  • You can easily use blue foil and a Heatwave tool to emboss the blue ribbon onto a craft board and memorialize it for all to see.
  • Try using an Alphabet Punch Board to make attractive and uniform letters to commemorate the event.

A guide to prime lenses and why you should use them

By

I actually found the information in this video very informative.Especially for those of us who likes to take pictures of different events and for certain occasions.It gave you an in debt detail of which lens is best to use for certain results.It even explain which lens would be more useful for landscaping or for just snapping photos of people.

Key Takeaways:

  • Primes are often quite small and compact, which means they also weight a lot less. They also have wider apertures than even most of the processional zooms.
  • A disadvantage is the single field of view which means that if you want to make something larger or small in the frame, you have to physically move.
  • The only zooms I use regularly are the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR for photography, and an 18-55mm kit lens that’s just for vlogging. For everything else, I use primes.

“If carrying a small, unobtrusive lightweight kit is important to you, then a prime lens is often an easy decision.”

What You Need To Get Started With Photo Printing

By

While it’s possible to print photos with a standard ink-jet printer and no special software, you won’t be producing photos that most people would be willing to pay money for. To produce professional quality prints that people would gladly buy, invest in the following equipment, in addition to your PC: an optical drive; printer with a continuous ink supply system, which is more cost-effective than using standard ink cartridges; paper cutter; flatbed scanner; photo paper; digital photo-printing software; and photo editing or graphic design software.

Key Takeaways:

  • Printing photos at home can save the time of sending photos to a lab and then picking up the prints when ready
  • Photographers can get better results from printing at home, since edits can easily be made to adjust how the print looks
  • Printing at home also allows photographers to play with and find the best paper for printing images for themselves and their clients

“With a professional photo printer not only will you be able to do archival quality photo prints for clients (and for yourself), but you’ll also be able to on-demand print any business stationary you need.”
