{friday finds}:nicholas, the scientific photographer

Meet my friend Nicholas,
He's a genuine science nerd and photography genius.
Lucky for me he's both my friend and lab partner =)
So here are his top five photographer tips
{and his favorite camera of the moment}
Plus some of my favorite of his shots1) Make sure your shutter speed is above
1/[focal length (x crop factor)]

2) For close up portraits, keep a low depth of field
zoom as much as the conditions allow.3) Megapixels aren't everything.
A camera phone with 12 mp isn't better
than a DSLR with 10 mp

4) Rule of Thirds5) if you have the chance, shoot in RAW*.Favorite Camera? canon rebel XS

Side note on pics:
1) his self portrait, 2) a double shot of France.
3) Our friend Lexy (who you'll hear more from in the future!)
4) Another way of viewing the Eiffel Tower


*a file format that has more information than the ones that you normally have.
You can adjust exposure and colors without distortion
