Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Lots and lots of questions reach me via email and via my social networks. I am happy to answer every single one of them. Some of them come up over and over again in the one or the other shape. Those are the questions that I like to feature over here, so that user who google for answers can benefit, too.
- i'd like to know about panning, i've tried panning but it wasn't perfect
- I have 3 cameras, 2 point/shoot one canon 50D, Why when I import into photoshop I get 3 different dpi settings?
- I wanted to buy a DSLR camera for around 500$ o 600$ (Nikon or Canon Only). Please suggest me a good camera in that price range
- I have trouble to take a shot with compositon. Can you explain to me how?
Well panning needs a good deal of practise, or... a bit of luck ;-)
OK, in order to have the background blurry, the background has to move in your frame a meter or two during your exposure. It will move more when
- you are further away from the background
- your focal lenght is longer
- the subject moves faster
- the shutter is slower
The first point (further away) is a good one. The other 3 methods introduce new issues, mostly that your subject will be more blurry.
So start with this:
You get different DPI simply because the cameras put different values into that datafield. But DPI does not matter at all, not the slightest bit, unless you print out your photos without defining the printing size.
Thanks to @RJPHIPPS for the question
I think US$500 is quite a tight budget to enter the DSLR field. However, you can't go wrong with Canon or Nikon DSLRs today. All of them produce stunning photos and provide all features that you need.
Sure, you will be a master at it within a few hours. It’s easy. I’d love to know what sort of photographs you are taking. But let’s assume you take beauty pictures like myself.
For the moment please focus on the major composition guideline: The rule of thirds.
