5 Quick Digital Photography Tips For You...

Digital photography has made photography become easier, affordable and certainly more enjoyable. Just look at a wedding dinner, more and more participants are carrying their own digital camera and some of them even have their own DSLR camera.

If you are just started with digital photography, it is good that you can look into the 5 quick tips below to help you get acquainted with this hobby ASAP. :-)

1. What amazes me with digital photography is the LCD screen. Now, you can just look at the screen, adjust your frame and snap the picture. Then, you can look at the picture you have taken and decide to keep it or not. You can never do that with film camera. You will never know whether you have taken a good picture until the picture is developed.

Since the LCD is one of the important components of the digital camera, it is only wise to protect it as best as you can. Remember, fixing a spoiled LCD screen can be costly and guarantee period can be short term too.

2. Another important components of a digital camera will be the flash. Without it, your pictures will turn out dark. However you need to know that most flash can only light up your subject within 15-20 feet. So, use that as your reference and move in or out to your subject so that it can be properly lit.

3. Most digital cameras nowadays come with image stabilizer technology and it is good that you can factor that in when you are buying your digital camera. Just to comfort you, this stability technology will not cost much extra. Imagine the clear and stable pictures you can take with this technology and you will know that it is worth the money to invest in this feature.

4. A word of reminder for the compact digital camera users who are reading this, you might experience a short lag time when you press the shutter button and this can make your picture turn out to be blurry.

To avoid that, you can half press the shutter button so that your camera can have time to focus on your subject and you can often see a rectangle appear on the LCD screen when you half press the button. After that, you can fully press the button take the pictures.

5. Now, let's imagine that you are taking pictures outdoor and it is sunny and bright. The digital photography tip for you here is to change your white balance setting to cloudy. This will then add certain degree of red and yellow filter to the camera and help you to get better pictures.

So, that is all for now and I am looking forward to share more digital photography tips with you in the coming post. :-)

Have fun photographing,

Michael Wong. :-)
