Getting more out of your camera

Exposure

on this picture, i tested the exposure of te camera and to do that, i set the camera to have the less and limited brighness that the camera had and it made the photo lose a bit of colour but it made the colours more stong.

 on this shot, i set the exposure to the middle and it was a notmal but same shot of the flower. the coulours from the picture is what it is like in real life and and how it would look like. if i was to improve to the picture, i would focus more on the flower

this photo was of the same flower but with high exposure and it made the the photo look bright and there was a lot of white on the flower and i could see most of the details that the photo would have.

Flash

i had to test the flash and the effect that the flash would make to the photo on a shiny surface. on the photo, you could see the flash inflecting out of the glass and it didn't make a good effect because the was a bright white circle in the middle of the glass

this was the same photo but without the flash, it seemed to be more detailed without the flash and there because there was no reflection of the flash on the glass. after this i thought that using the exposure is more useful and is better to use then the flash






Red eye

i tried to do the red eye by taking a photo of my friend's eye by using the flash but it did not work out because of the camera but even with the flash on, the flash took out some details of the eye.

this is the same eye but without the flash and there there was more details and it looked more clear without the flash.

White balance

 this was a photo i took of the sky with cloud mode and the photo came out alright because the sky and clouds looks good and was focused but the photo was a bit dark and looks gloomy.

this was another picture i took of the same scene but i set the camera to sun mode and it made the photo brighter and better. the white balance removed realistic and colours and added an effect to the photo to make it look as if it was sunny.

this is another photo i took of the same scene but i set the white balance to bulb mode which made a huge effect to the photo and it added blue to the photo and that makes the photo look cold and adds a winter kind of sense to the photo.

ISO (sensitivity)

here, i took a photo in a dark room with low ISO and the room looks dark and you could barley see anything that is in the room. i set the ISO to 100 which is the lowest and that is meant to be used when there is a lot of light.

this is a photo of the same room but with the ISO set to 800 and you cal already see that there is a huge difference. here you can you can see the whole room and everything that is in it unlike the first photo. with a higher ISO it lets you see whats in a dark room and it makes a better effect then what a flash would do.

i took a photo of the school with a ISO of 800 which is the highest and the photo dos not appear to have much details in it and with the high ISO, the photo came out blurry.

this is a photo of the same place but with an ISO of 100 and straight away i saw that this photo was more focused and detailed then the last one and this photo appeared to be more clear.

AF mode

 AF mode stands for Auto Focus mode and for this, i took close ups of  my phone but i did not see any difference in the photos because it focused on the same object so i saw no difference in the photos.

Burst mode
 burst mode is when the camera takes photo of an action or a person/object moving in a fast rate. what i did was i took photos of my friend running and jumping over a bench and the camera captured every second of it from when he was running from the start to when he jumped over the bench in the end and this effect is useful when you are taking pictures of a race or a party or other occasions
