Here
are some of my tips for those of you who love to take pictures in the
church (these tips are based on the use of my digital SLR camera, but
not enclosed the application for a pocket digital camera that has the ability to manually set and can use additional flash):
A. Always
a time to yourself to mengsurvey or see it before the wedding day you
are going to church interiors before D-day portrait photography, to get
the position / angle of the camera settings are appropriate and proper
for certain moments. In
contrast to other indoor shooting, which allows us to capture as much
as possible (and correct decision is less than perfect), we are almost
impossible to do in church worship atmosphere that demands reverence. Imagine
when Mr. / Mrs. Pastor was preaching, and we continue to splatter his
pulpit (since the images that we consider less than perfect), or we are
pacing as iron finding the right place to take pictures of when service
is running, it will certainly distract the congregation that is worship.
2. In
general, we do not have enough room to take pictures in the church,
especially on days when the church was full-fledged, like on Christmas
Day and New Year. Use of the zoom lens with wide angle-telephoto range is very helpful. You
do not have to retreat too far to include all objects in your picture
frame (and crashed into the church that sits in the back with your
buttocks like a vespa sexy '60s output), so you do not have advanced to
the front face of Mr / Mrs Pastor (and make him nervous, so that one said in his sermon), just to take a close-up face. For
digital SLR cameras with sensor sizes + / - 1.5x, 18-70mm zoom lens
(equivalent to 28-105mm zoom lens if you use a digital camera full-frame
SLR, just multiplied by approximately 1.5x only) is sufficient for you to take pictures freely. The
lens zoom range beneath (12-24mm) or higher (70-300mm, 80-200,
80-400mm) according to the opinion of the writer is not practical in
use. The
author's experience with zoom lenses such as 70-300mm or 80-400mm, for
example, it is somewhat inconvenient, because it's hard to aim at
objects in the crowd with such a narrow perspective (everything becomes
very large) generated by the zoom lens with Such measures, especially if we suddenly had to retreat to include as many objects as possible to the picture frame. Maybe
it is different if you take pictures in the church who really wide,
like St. Peter's Basilica, where the zoom lens with a range like that to
get the appropriate use (you may be able to Pope mengclose-up away from
the entrance end of the church).
3. The lens used is better than a strong high lens, with f-stop 2.8 or greater (f-number is smaller stopnya, F1.4, f1.2). This
would be very useful when you for example have to take a picture of
minimal lighting conditions (such as Christmas candles lit and the
lights turned off), without having to compensate by shooting speed is
very slow (which happens when you use a powerful lens the lens is rather weak), so the risk of blurred images. But if you do not have a powerful zoom lens with an appropriate lens, do not be discouraged. Zoom
lens of a powerful lens weaker (f3.5-5.6 for example) can also be
forced into the lens of the 'fast', by raising the ISO / ASA in your
camera (and thus the speed of retrieval will be faster) to the limit is still safe (picture does not look so noisy as the old HP camera images when enlarged full size on a computer screen).
4. Interior
of the church in general, broad and full of small details scattered in
various places, especially Catholic churches filled with distinctive
ornaments East. To
obtain sharp images and clear of all that, the use of maximum image
settings (among others: the large size, JPEG Fine, or RAW, if you do not
bother to convert it on the computer after the photo shoot), ISO / ASA
level (ISO 100/200 for example), and a relatively small aperture (large f-stop numbers) such as F8, F11, F16 are mandatory. With
its small size, you will lose the opportunity to display the results of
your images without a 'break' in the frame of your church consistory in
space (and lose the chance to stand close to someone in your church's
appraiser, who happened to be admiring the picture) . At ISO 400 and above, there is a chance the picture will become more noisy. So
also with the use of the diaphragm, will result in shallow
depth-of-field (other objects of different distances to the objects
which we focus in the camera frame will be blurred). Unless the lighting conditions are really inadequate, and forced us to use a large aperture (point no. 3).
5. In connection with point no. 4 above, the use of a monopod / tripod is also a mandatory thing. This
is because the photo shoot with a small aperture generally result in
slowing down the speed of image capture, as compensation to include more
light to the sensor. Terekamnya slow pace synonymous with vibration, and vibration terekamnya cause blurred images. Indeed,
you can activate anti-vibration function on the camera or your lens (if
any), such as VR (Vibration Reduction) in Nikon or IS (Image
Stabilizer) in the Canon. But according to the author's experience, a good tripod remains the most powerful weapon in the fight against camera shake. You also can slightly improve the situation by using the flash, or push the ISO / ASA to a safe limit. But
if we use the flash with a shooting speed pretty quickly (1/60 sec for
example), objects in the distance will usually be less tercahayai. So we still have to take a picture with a relatively slow speed (maybe 1/30, or even 1/15 sec). So
is the high ISO settings are not always able to help you (such as where
the circumstances quite dark), not to mention the risk of a noisy
image.
6. Using
the flash (if needed) should be directed to the above (bounce), or by
using a diffuser, to smooth and soften the flash light. If
we take a picture with the flash mounted horizontally, then the object
close to us would seem very luminous (dark hair on the head for
example), while other objects at a distance it looks dim, so the picture
becomes strange results. But
in those moments when the church was filled with light the candle and
the lights turned off, do not use the flash, because it will only damage
the shades only (photo to be 'false').
7. As
much as possible, in the midst of your busy taking pictures (especially
if you are a member of the documentation section of the church), then
follow the existing worship, because that is your goal, especially
coming into the church, which is to worship it? Therefore,
bring an assistant to help you replace the battery, bag for taking your
photographic equipment, etc., so you still managed to lead worship
there. Thank
God, I have the "Helper commensurate" my faithful help in that, though
often I saw his face frowned as her makeup looks 'broken' because it is
added with accessories such as a large camera bag or tripod, he3x.
8. The
last (but most important), pray always, before taking a picture, so
that your photo shoot went well, and you still do not lose their meaning
in worship!
