In simple term HDR is a techniques to get more contrast in pictures. A normal cameras take pictures at a single exposure level with a limited contrast range. This results in loss of detail among some bright or dark areas of an image. Through HDR  you can compensates for the loss of detail by taking multiple pictures at different exposure levels, then stitching them together to get a single picture (A HDR image).

The secret to sunset photos is to underexpose your image. By underexposing your image you can get the strong colours to give you a really amazing image

Setting up your camera. First set the camera to aperture priority mode, then chose the aperture you want and the camera will select the matching shutter speed. e.g. try aperture F5.6 and take the shot. Then look at your shutter speed, because you were in aperture priority mode that camera auto selected the shutter speed. Now change your camera over to manual mode put in the same aperture and set the shutter speed to double the value the camera auto chose for the previous shoot previous shutter. Take another photo and the results should be a image with more stronger colours.

One of the most important things to know when taking photos in Aperture..
The smaller the F number the bigger the hole that lets light into your camera sensor. So the larger the F number the small the hole which results in less light getting into your camera.

A small F number means that you can take very fast photos, but you have a very short dept of field. Good for Portrait photography, digiscoping where you want to focus on a specific subject.

Photo tips and hints from Dave McKane of the Institute of Photography. In this tip Dave talks about how you can drop your shutter speeds more than normal so you can blur water even in bright light.

 

The Canon EOS 1100D is the new entry level DSLR from Canon. Canon is aiming this camera at first-time DSLR users.
From comparing the speck of the Canon EOS 1100D it appears to have similar features to the Canon 600D but the speck is somewhat reduced. So in my opinion is a cut down version of the Canon EOS 600D.

The Canon EOS 1100D comes with a 12 megapixel CMOS sensor, 2.7 inch LCD screen, 3fps continuous shooting mode, 9 autofocus points, 63-zone iFCL exposure metering, ISO 100-6400 sensitivity, on-screen Feature Guide, and 720p HD video capture.

First Impression.

  • Its small and light
  • Plastic shell,
  • Build Quality is good
  • The handgrip is narrow, mildly uncomfortable for people with big hands
  • Standard Lenses supplied with the camera is probable the most basic lens canon has in its kit. (my view it's a poor quality lens – pity canon was so stingy because this lets the camera down to a first time canon person)
  • The Canon EOS DSLR 1100D's control layout is very similar to the 600D
  • All round a nice little camera pity about the lens
