3 Tips To Help You Master Digital Photography

By Shawn Smith


Have you already mastered the art of taking photos without 'red-eye' syndrome? Are there some photographs that you know should have turned out far better than they did? It happens to everyone even the expert photographers.

Here are 3 hints to help you move from beginner to master of digital photography, whether you're using your mobile or a point and shoot camera to snap shots.

1. Compose Carefully

One of the most basic digital photography tips is to pay attention to what's in the frame of the camera. Fill the frame. Nothing except blue sky, for example, behind a single subject throws off the proportions of the photo and decreases interest. You can turn the camera sideways to determine if a vertical photograph might have more impact than a horizontal shot of the same subject.

You can try positioning your subject off to the side, instead of in the middle of the picture.

2. Take Great Close up Photos

Your digital camera has a "macro mode", think of it as a super magnifying glass. An extreme close up of something similar to flower petals can bring out textures that you never knew existed, and will add excitement to your stills. Play with this feature, you'll find lots of ways to use it to improve your footage.

3. Purchase a Tripod

Digital cameras are susceptible to fuzzy footage if your hands shake even a bit. A few companies manufacture light, transportable, cheap versions. Digital photography tips like this can help to save you hours of disappointment and preserve otherwise perfect shots.

Becoming an expert at digital photography requires time; you will not become a professional photographer in your first week. Just keep trying new strategies whenever you use your camera, and before long, your networks and family will be admiring your newfound talents.
