Whether you planning to take up photography as a profession or a hobby it will be to your own advantage to learn some tips and techniques to get the most out of your camera features.
Digital cameras have made taking pictures so much more easy and convenient.
Even a complete amateur with no photographic training can learn how to take beautiful pictures.
Not everyone can afford an expensive camera with multiple lenses like the professionals have.
But a simple digital one can do many tricks if you know how to use it.
Most of the cheaper models come with different settings like automatic, landscape, portrait and macro mode (that is the one with the flower icon on it).
Notice the wide angle, the zoom, the flash etc.
Tinker around and see the effect on the pictures.
When you get a new digital camera the first thing you should do is read the guide and instruction book.
Then try out all the settings and buttons to familiarize yourself with your camera.
Practice, take some shots and see how everything is working.
Have fun and enjoy yourself.
Here are some tips to help you capture the precious moments in life.
1.
Never shoot with the sun directly in front of your lens.
The sun should be always behind you.
2.
Use a UV filter for cleaner and sharper pictures with less haze.
I highly recommend to leave the filter on at all times.
It will protect your camera from scratches and damages.
Besides it is much cheaper to buy a new filter as to replace a damaged lens.
3.
To take a clear sharp picture requires a steady camera hand special when taking close-up shots.
The slightest movement affects your pictures.
It is best to use a tripod.
4.
Use a high capacity memory card.
That will help you to shoot at the camera highest resolution and your pictures will be of higher quality.
This will make a big difference for enlargements.
5.
It is best to use a solid color for a background special when taking portrait photos.
You will even have better results with white or black backgrounds.
Try different angles and closer shots to make your subjects look like a million bucks.
6.
Practice with your camera and take lots of pictures.
The more you practice the better you get.
Getting the perfect shot will take practice and time but it's well worth it.
I hope these photography tips and techniques will help you to improve your skills getting started.
