Presently, as reported by psychologists, increasing numbers of people are  visually inclined. Put differently, most of us enjoy using our eyes!

In what ways do we use our eyes for?

We use our eyes to look at things in our environment. Yet, over time, man has devised ways on how to preserve the things we see, whether these are stunning or not, and one of which is via using cameras.

Nowadays, the biggest sellers in the camera market are the so-called SLR digital camera cameras.

What it is is an SLR camera?

SLR is an acronym for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras were the instruments made for and utilized by professional photographers. Cameras like these, likewise, make use of mirror that reflects light entering the lens up into the eye piece or the viewfinder. Therefore, a photographer can gauge how the image or picture will look like. Furthermore, a digital SLR camera uses lenses that are interchangeable. Hence, this camera can be employed for long distance telephoto photography or close-up macro photography.

A digital SLR or DSLR camera is contingent upon lenses and mirror and their optical capabilities. Nevertheless a SLR digital camera camera uses light sensor chips and digital memory cards in place of films, fundamentally a computerized version of the abovementioned camera.

The next summarizes the comparison between digital SLR and point and shoot cameras (SLRs):

1.    DSLRs and SLRs use interchangeable lenses for better resolution. 2.    Any picture you take using SLRs and DSLRs is typically crisper, cleaner and fine upon reproduction. 3.    DSLRs have a higher speed when considering focusing and taking pictures 4.    DSLRs perform better at low lighting conditions by using ISO speeds. These cameras have lesser granularity. 5.    DSLRS provide more professional power over depth of field, light, and responsiveness. 6.    DSLRs given a more immediate feedback as they use digital chips or light sensing CCDs that translate incoming light rays into digital pictures. 7.    DSLRs and SLRs cost more than point and shoot cameras. 8.    DSLRs and SLRs are ordinarily heavier than some point and shoot models.

Some sample SLR digital camera models are listed below:

Prosumer models:

•    Canon EOS 10D •    Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT •    Nikon D50 •    Nikon D70s •    Pentax *ist DS

Professional Models:

•    Canon EOS 1D Mark II •    Canon EOS 20D •    Fuji Finepix S3 Pro •    Nikon D2x

Who actually wants DSLRs? Anyone would like to have crisper and clearer pictures—be it a hobbyist or a specialist photographer can select a SLR digital camera model. Anyone who will not bother carrying bigger cameras on trips as a way to bring back topnotch photos can use DSLRs.

Like all electronic and computerized gadgets, digital models, you tend to get at a lower cost yet get better in time. For sure, DSLRs will finally migrate down to consumer cameras: ability to take bursts of 10 frames in a few seconds, quick response time, higher resolution image sensors, and accurate auto-focus, among others.

The only thing that will continue to be constant are the laws of optics—you won’t get the identical results from a finger-nail sized lens as with larger lenses used by professional users. Also the fact that people do not have enough money constantly stays the same over time.

If you plan to take photography as a profession, practice shooting some shots using prosumers models and consider budget and quality of lenses before you buy.

ISO  Settings:

ISO settings relate to how sensitive your camera is to light .

As an example if you were at the beach during the day and it was very bright sunlight you would choose ISO 100, if you were in the shade in the afternoon you could say set it to ISO 200 and at night you would choose ISO 400. The higher the number the so called d difference in light allowance.

ISO settings go hand in hand with F-Stop Settings, which is discussed in the next post.

Night photography can be daunting to some people. Need not be scared it is good fun when you give it a go. Taking night shots can add different dimensions to a photo.

Take this shot below can anyone guess what it is.

Make a comment and guess what it is.

In the coming weeks I will be discussing all types of photography.

Anyway guess away…
