Hi Hive Lovers
This is an experiment with "Jelantik fruit" photos.
There are so many people who like photography, both professionals and amateurs. Moreover, today's technological sophistication has provided various conveniences. This includes the convenience provided by a cellular phone with an integrated camera facility.
With the camera facility on a cell phone, nowadays, everyone can take photos anytime and anywhere. However, few people pay attention to shooting techniques. Most people just turn on the camera and "click", just taking a picture and ignoring the important factors in the composition of a good photo.
If you feel you are still an amateur in photography and like it as a hobby to produce quality photos, then you should continue to read this post until the end.
A description of the photos
I have received a shipment of rare fruit and this is the first time I have seen and eaten it. I didn't hesitate to take lots of "fruit Jelantik" photos today. I'm sharing it with all of you so you can find out too.
I really couldn't find any reference on Wikipedia about this unique and rare fruit.
According to my friend who sent it to me, the name "Jelantik fruit" is due to following the method or technique of opening it when the fruit is ripe, namely by flicking it. Only by flicking it slowly will it open and you will see its red contents.
The contents of this fruit are very unique. You will always find them with 3 seeds in each fruit. If it breaks in the mouth, it will be watery and taste sweet and sour like tassel fruit - I think they are still one family.
I got 1/2 kilogram of this fruit from a wild honey seeker friend. He brought this "Jelantik fruit" from the forest where he hunted for honey, and this fruit is very rare to find. Because it was delivered in the morning, I took the photos in the morning sun. Of course, the golden hours had passed in the morning.
You can take a look at these "Jelantik fruit" photos by using the morning sunlight coming from the window and taking the photos using my simple cell phone camera.

Lighting in photography
One of the most important factors in photography is the element of light, and it will produce a quality composition in a photo. Photography is always playing with lighting techniques.
There are two sources of lighting that can be used in photography, namely (1) light from a lamp (usually done in a photo studio) and (2) natural light from the sun.
The technique of utilizing light from lights and sunlight must also pay attention to the portion of the light so that the exposure of a photo can be controlled properly. It means;
Exposure in photography is a term for measuring the portion of light that enters the film or image sensor in the process of taking a photo as measured by ISO film or the sensitivity level of the film used. The higher the ISO value, the higher the sensitivity of the film to capture light.
The light meter is owned by every camera and can be adjusted automatically and manually. If you feel you are still an amateur and do not understand this ISO value setting, it is highly recommended to always set the automatic mode and let it work for you in order to get your best photos.
It is highly recommended that you always tweak your camera's ISO settings and do a lot of shooting in manual mode so you can get high-flying hours. If you are familiar and proficient, then shooting using manual mode and certain ISO settings is certainly much more fun.
What's next?
Later in #part 2, I will continue to discuss the Light Capture Technique, which is also very important for those of you who want to produce a good photo.
Let's look forward to it! so that you don't snap and lose valuable momentum.
