hello everyone,

i was just wondering kung sino sa mga cf's ang nag ho-hobby din sa photography. share nyo naman mga pics ninyo ng magagandang manok at mga farm dyan.

and also if you guys can share the techniques: like lighting, apperture settings on how to capture the best looks of your birds.

im trying to get inputs maybe from those experienced enough in gamefowl photography.

maybe we can share some here first and then from here maybe we can schedule photo ops pag nakita kita tayo.

ingat sa lahat

[j_capul]

some sample's:



minsan kunwari pang magazine na mga picture ng manok ang masarap pag aralan kuhain eh. :-) kahit na hindi ka gwapuhan ang manok baka puede daanin sa pag compose ng picture.

Pre J_Capul,

Nice thread.. hehehhee.. I never really understood those terms... when I have a camera i just shoot away... hehhehehhe...

[gamecock96]

Jcapul,
I wanted to do Photography as a hobby but i do not know how to start. I have a camera already. Maybe you can give me some tips.

the best way to capture nice pix is to level the camera to the subject.
the most important is light.

Bumili ako mga 10 yrs ago ng NIKON n90s. Di ko pa nagamit at di ako marunong. At medyo pa push off push off kaya di ko pa maumpisahan.

Al,

pareho tayo, may camera din kasi ako na dslr ngayon. kaya eto pag wala magawa click lang ng click. baguhan lang din ako sa hobby na to. pero mukhang exciting kasi sana eh. parang you can add more drama to your pictures if you know how to play with the apperture and shutter speed ettings.

eto at pa browse browse lang sa internet at wala pa ako time to attend a formal photography class.

here is a link for begginers:

at madami pa iba sa yahoo type mo lang photography lessons. ang nikon site al meron din yan sila tutorials specific to thier product. tyagain mo lang hanapin.

bxu,

yeah its better to just point and shoot, no hassles, some people take great photos naturally but unfortunately i am one of those that needs training on how to take those pics that look alive.

domingo,

nice link

Nice shots....

I like photography... I like to make it a hobby...
May i know which camera is the good or the best one...
I have a small digicam but isnt enough for a good shot ...
(for family use lang kasi, good por posing only)...
but not good for action shoots... (tulad ng click ka lang click)

I always like kasi is a pix with an attitude and lively....

Nice thread...

[j_capul]

nice shots rcbalikatan, keep em comming. what kind of camera did you use and its settings? usually sa action shots i just put it on sports mode.

jon,

right now im using the canon 400d. entry level nila na dslr. its good to invest in good quality lense din, right now pinag iipunan ko pa. it cost more than a good quality trio. hehehehe.

[devonloch]

Nice thread...tamang-tama at kabibili ko lang nga bagong camera...mapag aralan nga...baka magka sideline pa tayo

I will suggest if you may for more improvements: The photos are great in itself, but the impact is not that awesome because of the background. The background steals the attention a bit from your main subject which is the chicken. You could have blurred more the background by using a long lens of 200 to 400mm with an aperture of 2.8 or 1.2 (if you have). Try that and you will see the big difference. Over all, good but excellent for your level

[qyammy]

This is what we called killing the background.
Just want also to share nice pix i've done. Enjoy mga bro:

Nice thread...

Bro if you're tight of budget, i recommend Nikon D40 kit. Its 8megapixel semi professional type of camera and its digital, good for sharing through the net. It costs around 24 to 25 thou. Then invest in the future a 2.8 80mm to 200mm lens.
But if you want to go bigbang invest in Canon EOS Mark 2 or 3 series.

[j_capul]

nice tips qyammy,

will try to take some tommorow and put it here. so you what you mean is just try to take a burst of 8 shots and just find the one that you see is perfect?

[sweater02]

You're very right, 3 to 5 frames/sec is good enough unless yuo're taking an action shots like sparring. Put your aperture to the lowest (F1.2, F 2.8) and adjust the shutter speed to the max Like F2.8, 600 to 800 Shutter speed at ISO 100. You will really freeze the action of sparring and at thesame time the background is totally blurred. Good luck

1. Focusing
2. Composition ( dont crop the feet of your cocks)
3. Angle of the cock
4. Elevation of the camera: you took these photos on a 45 to 55 degree angle, as a result your cocks look small. Try to go dowm at least parallel level of your subjects.

These are my tips for you. If you take it then its for your own good, if not, thanks but no thanks
