Are you a gentleman-amateur?
You are not the only one who has wondered why there are so many amateur photographers around the world. A gentleman amateur is the man who takes pictures. This term was popular among the gentlemen and dates back as far as the 17th century. It was part of the Age of Reason, a time when people were encouraged to study and collect things about a specific subject. Many of the Royal Society members were gentleman-amateurs.
Are you a gentleman-professional?
Photographers often wonder if they can be considered gentleman. A gentleman is someone who takes care of others and makes small sacrifices on their behalf. Gentlemen respect women's privacy and are sensitive to their needs. They dress beautifully and pay attention. They are also sensitive to the local culture.
FAQ
What is the rule for thirds in photography?
The rule-of-thirds is a simple way to create interesting compositions using no complicated camera settings. It divides the image horizontally or vertically into nine equal pieces. This creates three main areas for your subject to appear. These are the top and middle thirds (in the upper left corner), as well as the bottom and lower right. These areas can be used to position your subject within your frame.
The rule to thirds allows you to avoid placing important elements too closely together or too far apart. You might not have enough space between them for a strong visual impact if you put them close together. If you put them too far apart, they might lose focus because there isn't much room around them.

Which Lenses should I Use?
Beginners often ask, "What lens should I purchase?" It's a tough decision since there are so many options available.
The good news? You don’t have to purchase a completely new lens for every new camera you buy. Instead, you can add lenses later on.
Here are three types you might be interested in.
-
Wide Angle Lens: 14mm - 24mm: These lenses provide a wide angle of vision, which allows you to capture more details of your subject. Zooming in can be done without affecting image quality.
-
Standard/Normal Zoom Lens (28mm-70mm): These lenses let you change the focal length while still maintaining excellent image quality.
-
Telephoto Zoom Lens (70mm - 200mm): These lenses are great for capturing distant subjects. These lenses allow you to focus on your subject, even though they may appear small in the frame.
These lenses can be combined in a variety of ways to create new effects. You can use a normal lens for close-up detail and switch to a zoom lens to capture distant objects.

How To
How to take macro shots in photography
Macro photography refers to the ability capture small objects like flowers, insects, or people close up. Macro means large in Greek. You can capture close-up shots with a lens that has a focal length of more than 50mm.
A macro lens that is good should have a long working range and a fast aperture to get sharp images. Also, avoid moving while taking photos as it could blur your image.
Here are some ways to get great macro photos
-
Use a tripod. Set up a table or chair so you don’t knock anything over. You'll be less likely to move while you shoot.
-
Make sure you choose the right lighting. Macro lenses usually come with built in light filters. But if you don’t, you can always buy one. It helps to avoid overexposure.
-
Be patient! Shooting macros takes practice. Sometimes you may only see a tiny bug or flower, but it's worth it to keep shooting until you catch it.
-
RAW files are best for shooting. RAW files store more data than standard JPEGs. Because you can edit the RAW files later, such as cropping or color corrections, they are ideal for editing.
-
Don't forget the background. Sometimes the background can add interest to your shot, even if you have a great foreground object. It's worth including it in your photograph.
