17. Snow. Meter the snow and then open up the lens by 2 stops. If you just meter the
snow it will be gray in the photo. Use a gray card to get an accurate reading for
exposure. If you have a histogram the curve should get close to the right side with a
slight gap.
18. Camera manual. If there is a function that you use infrequently copy that section of
the manual and put it into your camera bag or photograph it and view it later.
19. Hyperfocusing. Set your aperture (f-stop) and then look at the ring next to it. You
will see the same number in two different places. Above these places is the distance ring
with measurements in feet (ft) or meters (m) and will show the depth of field where the
photo will be sharp. Higher apertures give a greater depth of field. Check the
manufacturer’s information on the lens to determine the best f-stop resolution.
20. Scrims. These are used behind an outdoor subject that has a bright background.
They are black mesh or netting and will cut down the background light. Talk to Ken
about other ways to use a scrim or reflector.
21. Sunset. Try shooting in black and white for a classic look. During sunset meter the
sky with the sun blocked out. 15 minutes after sunset try shooting your subjects using the
afterglow.
22. Autofocus. Single AF is best most of the time, but continuous mode is good for
jumpy action and will fire even if the object is out of focus and you are moving with the
object. Dynamic focusing uses multiple focus points in the camera and will keep the
object in focus all the time.
23. Streetlights as stars. Use the smallest aperture (highest f-stop) and the lens
diaphragm will make the stars unless it is an arc shaped diaphragm. Naturally, this
requires a tripod.
24.Water shots. To capture individual drops use 1/500 second. For a bit of blur try 1/15
that will still show ripples or splashes. For the silky look ½ second or longer. For speeds
between 1/60 and 1-second lock the mirror up so you don’t get vibration during the shot.
In addition, extend the legs of the tripod and not the center column.
25. Infrared remote. If your camera supports infrared remote firing then you can modify
a universal remote to do the job. Set your camera to IR mode and hold down the set
button on the remote until the LED stays on. Press the equipment button (TV, VCR…) to
associate with your camera. Next, press the Power button at 1-second intervals: each
press sends a different IR code from the remote to your camera. Eventually, one of the
codes will fire the camera; press the Enter key to save the code.
If no codes work, turn off the camera and the remote. Remove the camera’s batteries and
then replace them. Do the first paragraph over again using a different equipment button,
as this will send different codes.
