basic techniques in photography ~ PHOTOGRAPHY

1. Depth of Field (DOF)

Depth of field or often shortened to DOF is one of the most basic fotgrafi technique. Every photo has a depth (depth), consisting of foreground (front) and background (back). Focus on the camera lens can be controlled or directed at specific objects. Depth of Field Control allows you to restrict the focus on photos and more to give the impression of life on the photo.
The following example shows a short DOF with focus on the foreground:

The following example shows a short DOF with focus on the background:

The following example shows images long DOF / in, with a focus on the foreground and background.

Here's an example comparison of the images on the lens focal length and aperture are different:

2. Freeze

After understanding the DOF associated with the aperture, this time will be explained about the freeze, which are intimately associated with the shutter speed. Photos freeze aims to capture a moment with a quick movement that can be caught by the camera as still images, such as photos of water droplets, explosion, or a photo when people were jumping and so forth. The most important in getting photos freeze is set shutter speed as fast as possible (eg 1 / 500 sec, 1 / 1000 second, up to 1 / 8000 sec). Because of the demands of a fast shutter speed, then of course it takes a lot of light, and therefore usually freeze amateur photos more done in open space during the day where the sun shines bright. It is not possible to obtain photograph freezes at night or in low light, but absolutely necessary ancillary equipment such as flash or studio lights with high-speed asynchronous as well.

3. Movement

Contrary to the picture freezes, picture movement aims to show the movement of objects with a low shutter speed, so that movement of object can be seen in the photo. Shutter speed is used tend to be low for the movement of objects can be recorded (eg 1 / 5 seconds, 1 second, etc.), but noteworthy is the camera must remain in static positions for background than objects remain focused despite slow shutter speed.

Here's an example photo movement:

4. Panning

Similar to the method of image movement, but in a more object motion panning images displayed through a moving background. The basic principle of photo together with a photo panning movement, only at the time of the shooting, the camera follow an object moving compensate for movement, so the object remains the focus but the background that produced moving.
Sample image panning:

How to photograph panning:
Shoot a moving target (usually a car), press the shutter button half for focus lock object, the camera movement to follow the object as tightly as possible in order to stay focused object, if felt to compensate for camera movement is movement of an object, press the shutter button fully with a fixed camera moves to follow object.

5. Bulb

Photos bulb can be obtained through the manual mode to adjust the shutter speed on the slowest setting (bulb), which will hold the shutter open as long as the button is pressed and will close again when the button is released. Which should be noted on the photo camera bulb is the position that absolutely must be static, then use a tripod to produce photo bulb.
