Hi guys! I love your website. Not only you provide informations about different cameras but also provides tutorials for beginners like me. I only have a Panasonic Lumix LX3 and this infographic really help! Please continue providing these ok? Thanks! More power!
Gently press the shutter button and leave your FIGURE on it?!? Don’t you mean finger?
Good catch, proof read, proof read, proof read and then proof read some more.
Setting’s?
Settings.
Thank you so much! Love the charts/settings.
Glad we could help
Great post! I’ve been wondering about how to shoot in low light. Will definitely be trying this.
Glad we could play a small part in inspiring you!
Generally decent information.
However.
The apostrophe. Learn it. Love it. Use it correctly.
Nice reference poster!
But, as some others already pointed out, proof read, proof read, proof read.. It’s “lessen” the shadows, not “lesson”.
Sorry about that, glad you enjoyed it all the same
Typos:
“diffuser to lesson” -> “diffuser to lessen”
“leave your figure on it” -> “leave your finger on it”
I caught those two just skimming it. A more thorough reading may be warranted. I suggest reading it backward. That helps.
Besides those mistakes, we hope you still enjoyed it.
and also… ” Take a photos like a sniper”? try “take a photo” or “take photos”
Great quick guide!! Keep up the great articles.
And thanks to the repondents for the English lesson!
And, once you’ve learned all the rules/tips of low light photography, please break them for great artistic effect!
Thanks! This is awesome!
Great site! Even reading over stuff I generally know has uncovered some little gems. Good stuff LH, you make my camera sing. And honestly, I could see right through any editing slips. I guess I’m just ahead of the curve.
thanks for the tutorials in your site… i found it very helpful…
nice infographic
you probably want to mention that using VR with a tripod is not so often a great working combination. Unless you’re sure your VR has active tripod detection capabilities, I would probably recommend to switch VR off.
A good enough guide let down but by unforgivable grammar. ♥
Why was the grammar unforgivable? Did you, or did you not get what the article intended? Quit bringing down the author, they are doing us a favor by posting great information.
