How am I as a Photographer
Being a photographer became one of the most dream that I wanted to become before since when I hold a DSLR camera of my Teacher. Back then, I'm not interested of holding a camera and even looking to my Mom everytime that she always took us a picture using her camera and that is also the reason why, I don't have much photos during my High School days. So everytime that there are some shared post memories of my Classmates to their social media, I am not there always.
But one time, I saw some group of family, taking picture using DSLR and they called that as Photoshot and that time is the first time that I am wondering if how was the feeling of looking inside the camera so I tried it using my Mom's before but that camera of my Mom is a old camera and broken.
Since when I started to have a good Phone to take a photo, I always loved to take some photos of things and even my favorite model and that is my younger cousin. In this article of mine, I will gonna share to you how I take some photos. I know, I am not a pro in taking some pictures and there is some people who are good at this better than me but I just wanted to share to you how I take some photos.
When taking some picture, I always loved to add a blurry background. I balways used the Bokeh (color read circle) of the Camera of my phone.
Just like when you take using tge DSLR camera, some of the photographer outside loved to add a blurry background esp. when it is for the important occasion like for example is for wedding and debut. Actually, I once dreamed to have my own DSLR camera but after knowing that some of the new units of phones and technologies are improving by years so, I decided to only use my phone and become contented to what I have.
Back to our main topic, How I use the bokeh part of my phone camera?
When I am using the Bokeh, I always choose a better background where I can use as a good background for a better look of the photo.
Remember that when you like to use the Bokeh, you should always focus to the main person or thing that you wanted to take. Just like what you see in the example image above, you can see that the backgtound is blur and then my younger cousin is not (this is just a stolen shot of her a while ago so she's not in a good pose).
Lights is the most trendy thingy to upload in the social media right now right? Instead of taking a picture of her last night in the christmas lights, I decided to take a photo of her outside and in front of the restaurant.
Take note: When you like to take a photo, you shouldn't mind the other things or surroundings just focus in the main area or spot where you think you can slay your model to pose.
When I watched the photographers in social media, the videos where they always take or convinced some random people to take a photo using their DLSR camera. They always don't mind the people or other places they just look around to find a better spot even if it is just a small thing or area would do.
Bokeh can also best to used with sunset. Just like in the example image above. If you will ask me if which I prefer to use the bokeh, I prefer using it on day light.
Take note: you can't use the Bokeh when the background color is only white.
The next thing that I sometimes use when I take a photo is the HDR and if you don't know what HDR means, High dynamic range and this can be use and helps you get great shots in high-contrast situations. However, I don't usually use the HDR depends to me when I don't need to use a Bokeh camera and I just only use the HDR when I take a selfie because it's make my photo soft and the color of my surroundings lighten more and I know that you already know that you can't use it both, the HDR and the Bokeh at the same time.
So when I just take a photo and being a photographer (not really a photographer) of my cousin, I just only use a Bokeh and I don't use a filter. Just a simple yet a look like pictorial is already fine for me.
Anyways the first phone that I used before to practice the is the Oppo A5s and I don't know if I already shared to you this
I just tried if it is impossible to make the background blur before and I am surprised to the outcome. If you are looking for a good camera and cheap price phone, I recommend you the Oppo A5s.
Conclusion...
For me, no need to use or buy a DSLR camera because now that the technology are always improving and the camera of the gadgets too. When I started to explore the camera of phones, I learned that it is not about the thing that you will use, it is to you if how you will use learn how the proper use of the Camera tools of your phone.
Anyways, My cousin is always my model but sometimes it is always depends on her mood if shewant and cooperate to me when I wanted to try something lol. Ah, btw. I'm not good at taking picture and I'm not still a pro but I'm happy to share to you this simple thing about taking a picture. How about you? How you take some picture?
