Basic Photography 1-O-1 with Bob Mata

I learned a lot of things today and it is such an awesome experience to be part of this workshop. This is my first time to attend a seminar about photography, basically for one reason... it is FREE... with snacks. ;D

I expected that this seminar would be some ordinary kind of thing but being there for 3hours is really worth it especially for a newbie like me.

Here are some tips that I got from the seminar (and I want to share it with you because I am totally a good person :D ) :


Yes indeed, we need light in order to have a neat picture... To people who wants to have a real photoshoot with me:  don't be too maarte if I tell you to get out there and expose yourself to the sun because it is the only light source I got! If I tell you that we'll shoot at 6am in the morning or at 1pm in the afternoon... that's fix! Don't complain because of the heat or whatever, being the photographer is also not easy. Just sayin'.  :p

Use more lights!!! It is the only way that you can capture photos artistically from anybody else.
Learn more about APERTURE!!! :)

It is recommended to use tripod when you are dealing with low light...

So, don't be too close nor too far. :)

By some famous photographer...

You should have the reason why you indulge yourself in photography, not just because it is the "thing" today... but because you want to capture every moment by heart. *chos* :))


And that's it, there are still more but these are just the straight-to-the-point stuff that you want to know... or the point of the whole thing.
So go out there and don't be hesitant to ask, practice more and discover... just like what Sir Bob Mata said, 
"Perfect practice makes perfect"

I hope that somehow you gain something out of this post about basic photography.

Ciao!
