How to choose the right equipment for your coverage?

Choosing the right equipment for photojournalistic coverage is crucial to the success of the project. This process can be overwhelming, especially with the diversity of options available and the perceived need for the most sophisticated equipment. The bottom line is to understand that each project has unique requirements, and your equipment must adapt to those requirements. Let's look at some key considerations.

What are the four key features your camera should have?

The camera is the heart of your photojournalistic coverage. However, the type of camera (whether it's a cell phone, compact camera or interchangeable lens SLR) is not as important as the following features:

  • Portability: Your equipment should be light and handy enough to move around easily during coverage.

  • Familiarity: The camera should be a tool you already know well. A good result is more likely with a camera you are familiar with, even if it has fewer features, than with an advanced one you don't understand.

  • Appropriate quality: Consider photo quality in the context of your project. The publishing platform greatly impacts the decision. For example, for web images, you don't need an excessively high resolution.

  • Editing features: Ease of editing is critical. So opt for cameras that simplify your workflow, either through built-in editing capabilities or easy file transfer.

What type of optics should you use?

If your project requires a camera with interchangeable lenses, consider:

  1. Autofocus: Make sure your lens has a fast autofocus system so you don't miss the perfect moment.

  2. Variable focal length: A lens with a zoon can be your best ally in various situations, allowing you to capture what is not within your immediate reach.

  3. Brightness: Lenses with a large aperture (e.g., 1.8, 1.4) will be useful in low light conditions, providing more natural illumination.

Which accessories are indispensable and which are optional?

Every photographer should have:

  • Charged batteries and extra storage: Ensure your batteries are fully charged and always carry extra storage space, such as extra memory cards.

  • Lighting: Natural light may not be enough during certain coverages, so include a portable light source.

  • Notebook or cell phone for record keeping: Keeping a detailed log will help you organize information and detail properly in future publications.

As for optional accessories:

  • Audio recorder and headphones: Can be vital for recording sounds during interviews or events.

  • Internet connection: Facilitates quick transfer and publication of photographic material.

  • Cell phone for logistics and editing: Use it not only as a photography tool, but also for basic editing, transportation and internet access.

How to maximize the use of mobile photography applications?

If your primary camera is a cell phone, consider some apps that can enhance your capabilities:

  • Open Camera and Menor Camera: Available for Android, they offer extensive photo optimization features.

  • Pro Camera: For iOS users, provides advanced manual control tools.

Before use, familiarize yourself with these tools. Spend time exploring and understanding each feature to make sure they are useful to you.

In this journey through photojournalism, it is crucial to understand that less is more. Carrying only what you need will prevent you from being saddled with unnecessary tools that could hinder your work. Go ahead, the world is full of stories waiting to be told!

No sale el curso de fotografia con tu celular, sale con error

he llegado a un punto d贸nde mi c谩mara b谩sica empieza limitarme con el trabajo, e estado pensando mucho en adquirir una fuji xe4 o la xs20

  • Aqu铆 tienes un consejo interesante sobre las tarjetas de memoria que utilizamos en nuestras c谩maras. Aunque parezca l贸gico optar por la tarjeta de mayor capacidad disponible, como una de 128 GB si tu c谩mara lo permite, en realidad no es muy recomendable en la pr谩ctica.

  • La raz贸n detr谩s de esto es que si llegas a perder la tarjeta o si se da帽a, podr铆as perder todo el trabajo o las fotos que tengas almacenadas en ella. En cambio, es mejor considerar utilizar varias tarjetas de menor capacidad, como por ejemplo de 16 GB o incluso 8 GB.

  • Al llevar varias tarjetas m谩s peque帽as, en caso de alg煤n percance como extraviar una tarjeta o que se da帽e, la cantidad de informaci贸n que perder铆as ser铆a m铆nima en comparaci贸n al caso anterior. As铆, podr铆as evitar grandes p茅rdidas y proteger tus valiosas fotograf铆as.

Que buena clase

Gracias

Antes que gaste su dinero en vano, una gopro no es una buena opci贸n ya que hacer fotos con un buen nivel de detalle en condiciones de poca luz no es para nada 煤til.
Tengo la gopro hero session 5 y la gopro fusion
