Digital Cameras – 10 Tips To Get Great Pictures
It’s true that with digital cameras, it’s easy to take a lot of pictures and delete the ones you don't like. But for the sake of your sanity and your photo album, it’s worth investing in a few basic tips for taking high-quality pictures.
Here are 10 photography tips every beginner photographer should know:
1) Keep your hands as steady as possible (a tripod is also recommended).
2) Frame the subject properly – fill the frame with what you want to take a picture of.
3) Turn on your camera's "auto" setting or adjust settings manually (according to lighting conditions), but don't overdo it.
4) Take close-ups – try to shoot your subject from a different angle to make the photo interesting.
5) Get the right focus – make sure that your subject is in focus before taking the picture.
6) Use a flash wisely (you'll get red-eye, which is usually unflattering, unless you're shooting ghosts or vampires).
7) Change your viewpoint (get down low or up high), and see what new vantage points you can discover.
8) Don't overdo the editing – taking a lot of pictures means you can choose better ones later or get rid of the duds.
9) Don't use the flash when there's a white or light-colored background. This will blow out your subject.
10) Try to avoid backlit pictures. This is particularly problematic in midday sun and in overcast conditions (when your subject is silhouetted against the sky).
The ability to take consistent and good photos is one of the most attractive features of a digital camera, but just because you can takes tons of pictures doesn't mean you should. Editing your photos later lets you be more selective about your final shots. So set the camera's resolution to a medium setting (e.g., 640 x 480 pixels for a 2-megapixel camera) and save the high resolution for when you really need it, e.g., printing your photos.
On-line digital photo storage sites are also good for storing pictures if you don’t have room for them all on your own computer or on CDs and DVDs. With these services, all of your pictures are instantly accessible from any computer connected to the Internet, like Picasa Web Albums . The exception is when you have children or pets around who might be tempted to delete or rearrange them.
Another useful way to organize and store photos is to make a photo book, using software such as Adobe Photoshop or The Gimp tool (suitably edited) . This allows you to insert creative text and images around the pictures. You can also upload your pictures online to sites such as Digital Photo Walks and ePhotoZoo , which have an online index of thousands of picture collections.
With digital cameras, everyone's trying to get a better shot than the next guy. But, like other technologies, it's the quality of your camera that counts.
Here’s what you need to get the best pictures possible.
The ultimate goal is to capture something with a camera in a way that makes it look like a masterpiece, rather than something that merely reflects life as it happened. There are no absolutes when shooting digital pictures, but these are a few pointers to consider:
Before you take any picture, ask yourself the following questions: "Is this picture going to be good enough?" and "Is this scene worth recording?" These two questions are never mutually exclusive. If you say yes both times, chances are good that your pictures will turn out well.
The first step is to decide what you want the pictures to be about. Is it about a landscape, an environment, or a person? Documentary versus artistic. Social documentary is about the world around us. It includes pictures of scenery, signs, and other landmarks that are relevant to our lives or society in general. Social artistic photographs capture people in unusual settings and in unique situations that show personality through gesture and expression.
There are many ways to share your photos online—Sites like Flickr offer "Upload Your Pictures" pages for uploading your images quickly into their massive photo databases. If you have a big collection of pictures, consider a photo storage site like Flickr or Smugmug.
Once your pictures are uploaded, you can interact with them like any other photo in the gallery. Some users and visitors aren't even aware that the images are stored on their computer due to the way they are displayed on their web page. Flickr is one of the more popular sites that will let you link your photos to an online portfolio if you have a Flickr account. More recently many photographers have turned to sharing pictures using Facebook and Twitter as a means of publicizing their work and interacting with others about them.
The final step in the process is determining whether or not you want to share your pictures. If it’s just for family and friends, there will be no need to worry about copyright. If it’s for a website or a gallery, most commercial galleries will require that you attribute the work to the original photographer in order to use their images for other projects. You can even use _Flickr's Creative Commons tools to give others permission to use pictures on your own website or blog.
