Firstclass Travel has conducted more than 200 Photography Tours, exploring destinations in Vietnam and other countries like Australia, Japan, China, Mongolia, and Tibet.
Stack Focus is a technique that involves capturing multiple images and layering them to achieve the desired effect. But what exactly is this desired effect? Before diving into that, let’s first explore how a camera lens focuses. Common Misconceptions About Focus in Photography Many photographers hold two common beliefs: When a lens is focused at […]
What is HDR? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, a photography technique used to capture images with a wide range of brightness levels, from the darkest shadows to the brightest highlights. In simple terms, HDR helps to balance exposure in scenes with extreme lighting contrasts, ensuring that no part of the image is overly bright […]

If you could bring only one filter, which one would it be? For me, it would be an ND64 filter. Why Choose ND64? Before diving into ND64, let’s first understand ND8, ND16, and ND32. ND stands for Neutral Density, which means it reduces light transmission compared to a clear lens. This is why ND filters […]
1. Introduction to Light Metering In the past, before the advent of automatic Through-the-Lens (TTL) metering in film cameras, how did photographers determine exposure settings? Did they simply guess shutter speed and aperture? Not at all. They relied on external light meters (see Figure 1), which they used to measure the light intensity on […]
Capturing the Perfect Moment with AF-ON In situations like the one shown in the example photo, capturing the right moment can be a real challenge—especially for those relying on shutter button autofocus (half-press focusing). So, what exactly is AF-ON, and how does it change the game? Let’s find out! 1. Understanding AF-S vs. AF-C Most […]
Noise is generally easy to identify—it consists of pixels with inconsistent, unnatural colors that disrupt image quality. There are two main types of noise commonly found in photos: 1. Device-Generated Noise Gaussian Noise: This type of noise appears uniformly across the entire image. It becomes noticeable when increasing ISO, reaching a point where it becomes […]
Currently, the two most common types of image sensors on the market (covering 90% of usage) are CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor). Different Sensor Sizes Both CCD and CMOS sensors come in various sizes, such as Full Frame (~24mm × ~36mm) and APS-C (~15mm × ~24mm). Each camera manufacturer has slightly different dimensions […]
The Answer: Yes and No It depends on the use case. Many people believe that a higher megapixel count results in “sharper” images. Technically, a higher resolution allows for greater zoom capabilities while retaining details. However, the true impact depends on how the image is displayed. For example, when posting on Facebook, the difference between […]
Ever wondered what “megapixel” or “MP” actually refers to? Let’s break it down! What is a Megapixel? A megapixel (MP) equals 1 million pixels, where a pixel is a tiny square unit on a camera sensor. The sensor itself consists of rows and columns (X and Y axes) filled with these pixels. For example, the […]
