Every expert looks out for ways in which he/she can
better themselves in the field. And so, any new
literature in the area of tips and guiding notes are
always welcome. So is also the case with digital
photography. Even the maestros who dish out expert
advice look out for new age tips from the novice
photographers, who may have just discovered
something new.
Given here are some tips fro digital photography
provided by some experts in the field:
Advisably one should purchase a camera that has
been around for at least 6 months to a year, and has
been reviewed by a number of people. There are two
advantages for this:
o The price will be lower than what it was when
introduced in the market
o One will know the faults and advantages of the
camera, before investing
One should thoroughly go through all the
literature regarding the comparison of best digital
cameras to ensure that one is getting worth ones
money and not being misled.
It is important for one to first be aware of why
they want to purchase a digital camera. Is it
generally for personal use? Then one need buy
digital cameras that belong to the high-end of the
product range chart. The cheaper consumer selection
would serve the purpose well enough. However, if one
is looking towards seriously pursuing a hobby or
career then it should be one amongst the top digital
cameras.
Here are some creative tips for the digital
photographers:
Be aware of the shutter delay and accordingly when
taking a picture of a person or group of people
prepare them for a shot by giving the proper count
in keeping with the shutter delay speed.
For outdoor shots there are two golden hours per
day when one can get the ideal shots. These are:
o One hour post sunrise
o One hour prior to sunset
When clicking a photograph crop all that is not
required, this will save the pixels wasted in
unnecessary backgrounds and edges, there by
providing better pictures of the subject/object
When taking photographs, hold the camera close to
the body, rather than at arms length, as this will
provide steadiness in clicking pictures. The elbows
should be tucked comfortably into the sides of the
stomach, and while clicking one shold breathe out.
Experiment with various photographing angles to
produce some creative images
For black and white prints, use the image editing
software instead of the black and white mode on the
camera.
In case the digital image lacks in color
saturation then increase the contrast in the
software, rather than using the saturation control.
In case of accidents with the camera:
In case the digital camera has fallen into water
then simply remove the batteries and memory card
before doing anything else
Then go onto drying the camera with a towel and
leave it in a warm corner.
When the camera, batteries and memory card is all
dry then fit in the battery and the card. Remember
to download the images onto the computer before
fitting back the memory card into the camera.
