Camera settings, composition, lighting, editing workflow, and genre-specific techniques.
Camera settings, composition, lighting, editing workflow, and genre-specific techniques.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
ISO: double ISO = double brightness, but also double noise. Stay lowest possible Aperture: f/2.8 = shallow depth of field (blurry background), f/11 = everything sharp Shutter: 1/focal length minimum for handheld โ 50mm lens needs 1/50s or faster Expose for highlights โ blown highlights unrecoverable, shadows can be lifted in post
Focus on eyes for portraits โ always the nearest eye Back-button focus separates focus from shutter โ press once to lock, recompose freely Single-point AF for precision, tracking AF for movement Hyperfocal distance for landscapes: focus 1/3 into scene, everything sharp at f/8-11 When in doubt, stop down โ f/8 is sharper than wide open for most lenses
Leading lines pull eyes into frame โ roads, fences, rivers toward subject Frame within frame: doorways, windows, arches add depth Negative space: empty area emphasizes subject โ don't fill every corner Odd numbers: 3 or 5 subjects more pleasing than 2 or 4 Break rules intentionally: centered subject with symmetry works
Golden hour: 1 hour after sunrise, 1 hour before sunset โ warm, soft, directional Blue hour: 20-30 minutes after sunset โ even, moody, no harsh shadows Overcast is giant softbox โ ideal for portraits, no squinting Midday sun: use as backlight or find open shade โ avoid direct overhead Window light: subject facing window, not camera โ soft directional light
Bounce off ceiling/wall โ direct flash is harsh and flat Flash exposure compensation: start at -1 to -2 stops โ blend with ambient High-speed sync for daylight fill โ allows wide aperture outdoors Off-camera flash: 45 degrees from subject, elevated โ creates dimension Catch light in eyes: small light source close beats large source far
Horizon not level โ first thing viewers notice is wrong Cutting at joints: ankles, wrists, knees โ crop mid-limb or full body Busy backgrounds: poles from heads, distracting elements Chimping constantly โ looking at screen after every shot instead of moments Not checking histogram โ LCD brightness deceives, histogram doesn't lie
Portraits: Aperture priority, f/1.8-2.8 Single-point AF on eye +1/3 exposure for skin brightness Landscapes: Aperture priority, f/8-11 Tripod, mirror lock, remote/timer Bracket exposures for HDR Sports/Action: Shutter priority, 1/500s minimum Continuous AF tracking Burst mode, anticipate peak action Street: Aperture priority, f/5.6-8 Zone focus preset at 3m Shoot from hip if needed
Shoot RAW for editing flexibility โ recovers 2-3 stops of exposure JPEG for volume without editing โ events with hundreds of shots RAW + JPEG: preview immediately, edit RAW later RAW files need processing โ they look flat by design, not a problem
Cull ruthlessly: delete obvious failures first Global adjustments: exposure, white balance, contrast Local adjustments: dodge/burn, graduated filters Color grading: consistent look across set Export: sRGB for web, AdobeRGB for print Edit on calibrated monitor โ laptop screens lie about color Sharpening last, after resize โ oversharpening destroys detail Less is more: if you notice the edit, you went too far
Best camera is the one you have โ phone beats DSLR at home Lenses matter more than bodies โ invest in glass first 50mm f/1.8 is best first prime โ cheap, sharp, teaches composition Tripod: don't cheap out โ flimsy tripod is worse than none One good light > three bad ones โ start with single source
Backup same day: 3-2-1 rule (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite) Folder structure: YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD_EventName Rename files: YYYYMMDD_ProjectName_0001.ext Keywords and ratings during import โ not later when you forget context Archive RAW files forever, even rejected ones โ storage is cheap, moments aren't
