The blog is all about the photo of long shot , medium shot , close up , low angle and high angle picture that I taken from UKM campus.
What is long shot?
Long shot is about taken the photo from long distance ,with a little bit far or far distance that capture the one focus of the subject.
What is medium shot?
Medium shot is somewhat taken from the people who conference who sit and the people organize the activities and we take the picture half of them .
What is close-up?
We take the pictures by capture and focus on face, eye, fingers and food.
What is Low -Angle?
Low Angle is about we capture the picture from low area to high .It is somewhat we capture the bird on the tree ,we take the picture to upper area which the birds locate.
What is High-Angle?
We go up the high area to capture the low area of the scenery such as building , all infrastructure and mountains.
THERE ARE 4 ELEMENT OF COMPOSITION:
Pattern
There are patterns all around us if we only learn to see them. Emphasizing and highlighting these patterns can lead to striking shots – as can high lighting when patterns are broken.
Symmetry
Depending upon the scene – symmetry can be something to go for – or to avoid completely.
A symmetrical shot with strong composition and a good point of interest can lead to a striking image – but without the strong point of interest it can be a little predictable. I prefer to experiment with both in the one shoot to see which works best
Depth of field
The depth of field that you select when taking an image will drastically impact the composition of an image.
It can isolate a subject from its background and foreground (when using a shallow depth of field) or it can put the same subject in context by revealing it’s surrounds with a larger depth of field. LL
Lines
Lines can be powerful elements in an image.
They have the power to draw the eye to key focal points in a shot and to impact the ‘feel’ of an image greatly.
Diagonal, Horizontal, Vertical and Converging lines,all impact images differently and should be spotted while framing a shot and then utilized to strengthen it.
These are just some of the elements of composition that I consider in my photography. They reflect my own style and personality but there are plenty more.
What is the Rule of Thirds?
The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts. As follows.
As you’re taking an image you would have done this in your mind through your viewfinder or in the LCD display that you use to frame your shot.
With this grid in mind the ‘rule of thirds’ now identifies four important parts of the image that you should consider placing points of interest in as you frame your image.
Not only this – but it also gives you four ‘lines’ that are also useful positions for elements in your photo.
The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally. Studies have shown that when viewing images that people’s eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally rather than the center of the shot – using the rule of thirds works with this natural way of viewing an image rather than working against it.
SHUTTER SPEED
A camera's shutter determines when the camera sensor will be open or closed to incoming light from the camera lens. The shutter speed specifically refers to how long this light is permitted to enter the camera. "Shutter speed" and "exposure time" refer to the same concept, where a faster shutter speed means a shorter exposure time.
By the Numbers. Shutter speed's influence on exposure is perhaps the simplest of the three camera settings: it correlates exactly 1:1 with the amount of light entering the camera. For example, when the exposure time doubles the amount of light entering the camera doubles. It's also the setting that has the widest range of possibilities:
Shutter SpeedTypical Examples1 - 30+ secondsSpecialty night and low-light photos on a tripod2 - 1/2 secondTo add a silky look to flowing water
Landscape photos on a tripod for enhanced depth of field1/2 to 1/30 secondTo add motion blur to the background of a moving subject
Carefully taken hand-held photos with stabilization1/50 - 1/100 secondTypical hand-held photos without substantial zoom1/250 - 1/500 secondTo freeze everyday sports/action subject movement
Hand-held photos with substantial zoom (telephoto lens)1/1000 - 1/4000 secondTo freeze extremely fast, up-close subject motion
APERTURE SETTING
A camera's aperture setting controls the area over which light can pass through your camera lens. It is specified in terms of an f-stop value, which can at times be counterintuitive, because the area of the opening increases as the f-stop decreases. In photographer slang, when someone says they are "stopping down" or "opening up" their lens, they are referring to increasing and decreasing the f-stop value, respectively.
By the Numbers. Every time the f-stop value halves, the light-collecting area quadruples. There's a formula for this, but most photographers just memorize the f-stop numbers that correspond to each doubling/halving of light:
Aperture Setting Relative Light Example Shutter Speed f/221X16 seconds ,f/162X8 seconds ,f/114X4 seconds ,f/8.08X2 seconds ,f/5.616X1 second, f/4.032X1/2 second, f/2.864X1/4 second , f/2.0128X1/8 second, f/1.4256X1/15 second
CAMERA EXPOSURE
A photograph's exposure determines how light or dark an image will appear when it's been captured by your camera. Believe it or not, this is determined by just three camera settings: aperture, ISO and shutter speed (the "exposure triangle"). Mastering their use is an essential part of developing an intuition for photography.
BALANCE
One compositional ‘rule’ (principle) that we’ve not talked much about since starting DPS is ‘balance’.
While it’s a difficult thing to be specific about (it’s not like the Rule of Thirds where you can identify key spots on an image by imagining lines through it) it is a compositional factor worth considering when framing shots.
Perhaps the most effective way of learning about balance is by looking at photos that don’t have it.
We’ve all taken them – shots with strong points of interest on one side of an image and ‘emptiness’ in another area.
I’m not talking about symmetry – images don’t need to be the same on each side – but sometimes images can be improved greatly by having a secondary point of interest counter balancing the main focal point of an image and providing those ‘empty’ spots with a little weight.
Achieving Balance in shots is something that photographers learn over time. The best way to learn it is to scan through some of your older images, looking for those that could be more balanced.
Of course each situation will be different and getting balance in your shots might be achieved by a variety of techniques including:
What is long shot?
Long shot is about taken the photo from long distance ,with a little bit far or far distance that capture the one focus of the subject.

Of course each situation will be different and getting balance in your shots might be achieved by a variety of techniques including:
- cropping (sometimes some post production processing will achieve a lot)
- altering your shooting view point (shooting from higher up or lower down
- zooming (more tightly cropped or wider angles)
- moving an element of your picture (sometimes scenes can be rearranged)
