This month, at Putrajaya, Malaysia we have the world biggest water screen show. I went out to try shooting water screen for the first time. At first I thought I can use the same setting I used to shoot fireworks. But I was wrong. For fireworks, you need to use very slow shutter speed 2 , 10 or sometimes even 30 seconds is used. But for water screen shot, I have to use faster shutter speed. The best is 1/8 and above. It was quite hard actually to get the right exposure because of the faster shutter speed.

Panning is great way of showing the sense of motion. It is a very simple technique but difficult to master. Last week, I have post an article about exposure and mention little bit about shutter speed and panning. This week I will give you a step by step guide on how to shoot great panning effect. This post will be divided into three parts. The stuff you need, the right setting and the step by step guide.

When I first started photography 4 years ago, I am having trouble to understand about what is exposure. But after a while I’ve got the idea. Today I will introduce to you what is exposure and I will guide you to a simplified step by step guide on what is exposure and how to use it. This post will be divided into three sections. The first one is the general view about exposure which I have introduced to you just now and the second which I will tell you after this is about the factors or the elements that makes the exposure and the last part of the post will guide you on how each elements of exposure affects each other and how to use them effectively.

In my last week’s post, I wrote about how to achieve a balanced pictures with the use of rule of third technique. This post is the next article on the composition technique series.
Leading lines is used to lead the viewer’s eye into the image or a subject in the image such as from right to left, bottom to top. This technique is best use for landscape and other panoramic sceneries.

Long before the DSLR comes to life, the photographer used a very simple camera. It really test the photographer’s skills. But today half of the hardship has been reduced by the sophisticated electronic camera. The image are sharper, the exposure are more accurate. But still there is one important element to complete the best pictures criteria still cannot be done by today’s sophisticated camera and that is composition. No matter how sharp the image is, how beautiful the colour is, how accurate the exposure is, the image wont be the best if the composition part failed.
