Meta’s Top 10 Sony Alpha Photography Tips
Top 10 Sony Alpha Photography Tips For Beginners
Here are Meta’s Top 10 Sony Alpha Photography Tips you can use to take Better Sony Alpha Photos.1) Insert a Fresh Sony Alpha Camera Battery and Check the SD Card Space before leaving the Studio. Always carry Spare Sony Alpha Battery and SD Card. 2) Clean your Sony Alpha Cameras and Lenses before and after every outing. Carry Zeiss Lens Wipes and MagicFiber Cleaning Cloths. 3) Use Grids For Level Horizons – There’s nothing worse than a Landscape Photography with a tilted horizon. To get the Best Level Horizons, turn on the Grid Option. 4) Use Manual Focus – Auto Focus takes an average focus of the entire image, but for sharper photos, use Manual Focus. Focus on an area in the Foreground, Middle Ground or Background. Once focused, you can also manually adjust the exposure. 5) Use a Sturdy Tripod – Keeping your Sony Alpha Camera perfectly still when taking photos will greatly improve your focus and sharpness. Use Sturdy Tripod whenever possible. 6) Sony Remote Control – Keep the camera very still when taking a photo. Shutter Speeds can often drop below 1/60th of a second, resulting in blurry hand held photos. Don’t bump or shake the Sony Alpha Camera while shooting. For TimeLapses and Slow Shutter Shots, such as Waterfalls, Lakes and Streams, always use a Sony Remote Control and a Sturdy Tripod. 7) Camera Filters – These can be easily added to your Sony Lenses or Minolta Lenses. CPL Filters can help reduce reflections on wet surfaces. ND Filters are required for Long Exposures (1/2 S –2 S), such as smoothing a Waterfall, Lake or Stream. 8) Better Composition – Ever wonder why some photos look better than others? Composition is key! Try to use Grids and incorporate the Foreground, Midground and Background into your photos using the Rule of 3rds or the Golden Ratio. 9) Focus On Your Subject – What is the subject of your Photo? Use Leading Lines to help draw a person into your photograph towards the subject. 10) Aspect Ratios – If you know the Aspect Ratio for your final Photo, say a 10” x 8” Print for a Photography Contest, shoot in 5:4 Aspect Radio. This will aid in your Composition and the Rule of 3rds Grid will line up correctly, plus you won't have to crop off the sides Purchase Meta’s Nature Photography
