Outdoor Shooting Guide

Tip 1: Must come earlier as you need to adjust your ISO so that you can choose which ISO that suite you. This is important because you need to shoot a better qualityof your photo.

Tips 2: As I have mentioned earlier, set your ISO first then your aperture then change your shutter speed to achieve the desired exposure.

Tips 3: Before that, you must remember the concept or function of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.

As I said, Remember this:

Aperture - to separate an object from the background and foreground. That’s mean the smaller the aperture number (f/1.4 - f/4) the more blurred your background and foreground would be.

Shutter Speed - to freeze a motion. The faster the shutter speed the better it is at freezing motion. Use 125 - 250 when you have off camera lighting and 250 and above when you use natural lighting.

ISO - Your cameras sensitivity to light. The higher the ISO e.g. 1000 - 6400 the more sensitive it is to light which is useful when shooting under low light condition without flash. However high ISO does also increase noise in your images which can be undesirable depending on what your want.

(Based on my experience, the faster way of getting your own manual setting when you are in a hurry, normally what I did is to set the mode to “P” then try to shoot the angel or position that you want, you will be able to see the recommended aperture, shutter speed and ISO setting. After that, you switch it to manual “M” with the recommended setting and test it until you satisfy with the setting)
