Q & A

What type of cameras can be used for the floating object photo technique?

You can use either a DSLR or a mirrorless camera to apply this technique.

Do I need any editing software to achieve this floating object effect?

No, this technique does not require any editing software. The floating effect is achieved directly in-camera.

What camera settings are recommended for beginners?

For beginners, the speaker recommends using Program Mode (P) on your camera, setting the shutter speed between 1/500 and 1/1000. The exact setting depends on your camera and personal preference.

Why is it important to set the camera's autofocus to manual focus (MF)?

Manual focus ensures that your object remains sharp and in focus during the shot. Autofocus could cause the camera to refocus during the action, leading to blurry photos.

How does the self-timer function in the photography process?

The self-timer allows you to take the shot without needing someone to press the shutter button. It gives you a delay (usually 10 seconds), providing time to position the object and get ready.

What if the shot isn’t perfect on the first try?

Don’t worry if you don’t get the shot immediately! It might take several tries to capture the perfect moment. Adjust the object’s position and try again, ensuring that your timing is right.

Can this technique be used with different objects?

Yes, this technique can be applied to almost any object. It’s best to start with small items that are easy to throw and catch, but you can experiment with different objects.

What camera mode should I use for this technique?

Use Program Mode (P) on your camera, which works well for this type of photography. The settings are flexible, allowing you to focus more on the technique rather than complex adjustments.

What should I do if I need help while taking the photo?

If you have a friend or another person available, ask them to press the shutter while you focus on the timing and throwing the object. This makes it much easier to capture the shot.

Where can I learn more about photography techniques and camera settings?
