The
secret to capturing a great image is not necessarily having a great camera.
There is no need for a high end point and shoot or a DSLR to capture what you
see or the story you want to capture. It is more about you or the person behind
the lens. An ordinary mobile phone camera can produce amazing captures too.
Then comes a question on how I can shoot long exposures? If there is ample
light, all you have to do is capture 9/10 pictures without changing the composition
and you can later do some post processing to mimic long exposure shots. So many
things are possible using a normal camera, be it the one on your mobile or an
ordinary point and shoot. A good picture has a nice composition and good lighting.
(I can talk about lighting and composition in the coming posts).
DSLR’s
do have advantage over a normal camera, mainly because of its sensor, the lens
combination, an extensive manual mode and so on. But if you are on a tight
budget, buying a good point and shoot is a good alternative. Most mobile phone
camera’s now possess a decent sensor and enough resolution to take clear
pictures. So what is your excuse now? Go ahead and capture.
Keep
in mind to:
- Compose the shot well (include a little bit of foreground when necessary).
- Try to keep the subject well lit.
- And get close to the subject.
