Digital Camera and picture- a small tutorial

Article Written By: aaron

Digital cameras are the best resources to capture the life s best moments in just one click. With the launch of brand camera models like Canon, Flip Video, Panasonic, Sony, Kodak and others, it becomes difficult for users to choose the brand for their personal usage. All digital cameras serve a purpose and the ways to use them differs from brand to brand. However, we help you provide some handy tips for larger memories that can be cherished at every special moments of your life.

The first thing to do is make it a habit to hold the camera on its side. Most people find this awkward, but it is worth the effort.

We say this because, if the subject you are trying to capture is a building or a person, or something which only fits in a rectangle, you end up wasting a significant amount of picture space if you happen to shoot the picture in landscape. Our advice is, you paid for those pixels, don t let it go down the tubes. One of the best and possibly the easiest way of enhancing your photography is, paying due attention to framing.

You must try to look closely in the corners of your viewfinder and figure out what is there. Question yourself, if you need all the background? Figure out if it is possible to get close to the subject or zoom in.

Photography is a derivative of light, most people will agree. The most important aspect is the way the lighting falls on the subject. You must carefully look at the subject and see, where the shadow falls, as this will determine the aesthetic value of your picture. If you have the opportunity to choose the time of your shoot, always opt for late noon or early morning, when the sun is low on the horizon. On the contrary if you shoot when the sun is high, it leads your subject to squint in the face of strong light or his eyes would be in the shadow.

Either scenario is not desirable. Another collateral benefit of shooting in the late afternoon or early morning is, the color of the sunlight is warmer” as the yellows and reds are more illuminated, which ultimately translates in to a pleasing effect of your photo.

But if you can t help but shoot in the sunlight, try to position yourself in such a spot where the sunlight falls on your subject of interest, from the side. Even if you position the subject in front of the sunlight, it will create a backlight” effect, but make sure that there is no flare” in your lens, as that may degrade the contrast quality of your picture.

Most people have this awful habit of using a flash, which gives the subject the dreaded red eye” looks. Instead you should use the in camera flash and while doing so, always try to keep your subject away from walls.

We hope these tips will help you enhance your expertise as a photographer.
