7 Digital Photography Tips For Beginner
7 Digital Photography Tips For Beginner
Do you want to be an excellent photographer? These 7 digital
photography tips you can get started on your way to become an
excellent photographer if you'd like.
#1. Learn your cameras settings
Chances are you shoot most of your pictures utilizing your
camera's "automatic" mode. This will get you average results. If
you are striving for great shots, you'll need to learn about
other modes too. Take the time to read your camera's manual to
understand when to use each shooting mode.
#2. Take more photos
Before going crazy buying the most expensive equipment right
away, you had better take more photos because the more photos
you take, the more you'll know about what kind of camera to get
when it's time to upgrade. In other words, you can always delete
the bad ones later.
#3. Busting the dust
Digital camera with removable lenses are prone to dust landing
on the sensor. Static electricity around the sensor can possibly
contribute to attracting dust particles, or other elements to
this sensitive area of your camera. You can get rid of the dust
is a camera blower brush, and tilt the camera down while
blowing. Take care not to get any of the hairs snagged inside.
#4. Use a tripod
A tripod will keep your camera steady which will make your
photos clearer.
#5. Shot your subject at different focal length, angles, and
formats
Shoot your subject at different focal lengths - using the zoom
on your photos will not only change how close your subject
appears but it will also change the depth of field (ie the
blurring of the background). It also allows you to shoot from
different distances which can really impact how relaxed your
subject is (there's nothing better than a photographer in your
face to make you tense up)
Shoot your subject from different angles - it's amazing how
much you can change a shot by getting on your knees or taking a
few steps to the side.
Shoot using different formats - there are different ways to
grip a digital camera. The two main ones are horizontally or
vertically but you can also get into all kinds of diagonal ways
to do it. Mix it up.
#6. Experiment with different `modes'
Even the most basic point and shoot cameras have different
'shooting modes'. These are usually things like `portrait',
`landscape', 'sports', `night' etc. Sometimes it's worth
flicking through these to take shots at different settings. What
these modes do is simply change the basic settings (like
aperture, shutter speed, ISO) - all things that can change the
look and feel of your shot considerably
#7. Play with your Flash
Try turning your flash off or forcing it to fire in shots.
Sometimes adding flash to a scene where there's lots of light
behind your subject is essential (even though your camera might
not think it needs it). This stops those silhouette shots where
it looks like you're trying to hide the identity on your
subject.
