Fake Smoke Photography

Hello there,

In this post i want to share how i shot a smoking Canadian baseball and smoking Indian green chillies.. take a look at these pictures. To shoot these pictures you don't need fire or real smoke. It is fake smoke... I learnt this trick from PhotoExtremist Evan Sharboneau.

Focal Length : 18 mm Shutter Speed : 10 sec f stop(Aperture) : f/11 ISO : 100 White Balance : Auto

Focal Length : 35 mm Shutter Speed : 30 sec f stop(Aperture) : f/5 ISO : 100 White Balance : Auto

Gears you need:

• DSLR or any camera with shutter speed control
• Tripod or anything which can hold your camera study for 8 sec or more..
• flash light
• String(s).. and your subject :)

Follow these steps:

• Mount your DSLR to tripod.
• Get your subject into focus by half pressing the shutter release button.
• Put lens's focusing switch to Manual mode to lock the  focus.
• Put your DSLR camera into manual mode..
• Set shutter speed to 8 sec or more..
• Turn off all the light in the room where you are attempting shoot.
• Hold your flash light with string(s) over your subject, take look at the image..
• Once you click the shutter release button, turn on the flash light and start move flash light with string in circular motion over the subject. Or any random action..

Hope you like this tip... let me know your view.

White is Balance in Photography

White balance in photography is the global adjustment of the intensities of the colors (typically red, green, and blue primary colors). [from:wikipedia]

Take a look at these picture, you are noticing the temperatures of these images.. i haven't changed the temperature using any photo editing software. White Balance feature in your DSRL will allow you to adjust the color of image you take.

Most of camera owner don't understand or use this feature, but it is worth exploring..... till then enjoy shooting

Multiple Exposure hack in Nikon D3100

Hello,

In today's post i'm sharing two pictures which are having multiple exposure. In photography multiple exposure is stacking of two or more exposure create on single image. Most of the higher end Nikon DSLR provides in-built multiple exposure functionality, where you can take a two images with different exposure and that will be superimposed into one single image.

This functionality is not available in Nikon D3100 (the best entry level nikon SLR camera). I found the alternate solution for this in Nikon D3100.

Have you seen Image Overlay function in Retouch Menu? No? then try this today, you will feel good about your camera.. below are the pictures...

Steps to create multiple exposure image

 1. Click Menu button of your Nikon D3100 and then go to retouch..
 2. Select Image overlay
 3. Select any two images from your camera
 4. Then using UP and DOWN arrow, you can adjust the overlaying images.
 5. Save the image.

You can use this saved image and overlay on other image using above steps... to create one single image with three different exposure.

Focal Length : 18mm   Shutter Speed : 4.9 sec  f stop(Aperture)  : f/5.6 ISO : 400 White Balance : Auto

Set your camera in shutter priority mode, let your camera decide the aperture value for you, dial you shutter speed 1/4 or higher (may 1 or 2 sec). Focus your subject then then click and rotate you camera body in anti-clock or clock wise, remember click and rotation of camera body should be done at same time, and see the result.   

Share your views on this trick.. you can try rotating lens and camera body in opposite direction and check out the results...
