There are all types of film cameras but I chose a handful to explain. In my opinion if you're a beginner in taking pictures, point and shoot cameras are for you. They're easy to use and it has auto-focus. It's a compact camera and you don't have to worry about the lens like other cameras.
Another camera is the SLR. Something cool about this camera is that it uses the reflex from the mirrors on the inside for the reflection. This camera you can focus manually or automatically. I personally like this type of camera because I like to challenge myself. Next, the range finder camera. This camera has a good focus for distance photos. It has manual focusing on the lens. I like the manual focusing on the lens because it gives me more control over the photo. Lastly, the twins-reflex lens. Obviously it is the camera with 2 lens'. Personally, I have never used one before but as I was reading I learned that one lens is used to view and one is used to take the picture. Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light. Bokeh is different from sharpness. Sharpness is what happens at the point of best focus. Bokeh is what happens away from the point of best focus. From this photo I took, you can tell the main focus is the flowers. The surroundings are all blurred out to create the Bokeh effect.
It's quite easy to do. You choose a main focal point, as I chose these flowers, and you focus onto them so the rest is blurred out. You don't want the un-blurred portion to be in the middle of the picture, so you put it to the side. I usually choose the left side because it looks better to me, but it doesn't matter. |
