5 Tips To Help You Get Better With Digital Photography...

Today, I am going to talk about digital photography tips for beginners and some might involve compact digital camera users.

1. Macro

For experienced and DSLR photographers, they will need a macro lens and some skills to take macro pictures. But for most compact digital camera users, your camera is build in with the 'macro mode'. Of course the picture you take with this feature will not be as good with the DSLR camera, this is still a good place to start.

Macro photography is fun which you can expose your subject to such details that you hardly see in normal pictures. Have you ever seen picture with a magnified fly eye? It is awesome that such small thing can become so magnificent under digital photography. :-)

2. Move around

Personally, I think photography is about capturing anything in movement (it is still a movement if you don't move). So, never stay idle when you are taking picture. Be active and move around.

You can kneel down, lye on your stomach or stand on a chair and take the picture from top. This will add diversity to your pictures.

3. Tripod

Although some said that this is not necessary in digital photography, I personally think it is good to have a tripod by your side because compact digital camera nowadays are still light and they are sensitive to movement. Sometime turning on the flash and anti-handshake also might not help to correct the situation.

Since tripods nowadays are build to be affordable, you will want to consider to get one for yourself so that you can preserve your shot and save from any frustration later.

4. Take a class

For you to become good in digital photography, I would recommend you to join a class and take a photography trip with the class. Reading digital photography tips is one thing but it can never be better than to having hands on with a real subject and taking picture under different lighting and weather condition.

Plus, when you go for a class, you will meet more like minded photographers like you and you can get constructive comments from other photographers. That is how you improve in this hobby.

5. Grid lines

Look at your digital camera setting and set the grid lines feature on. You will then see the grid lines on your LCD screen. Then, you can use those lines as guide and properly frame your shot.

I hope that the tips you read just now can help to improve your digital photography skills. Do contact me when you need any clarification. :-)

Have fun photographing,
