Digital Photography Tips

By Jim Pam

A good photo editor will allow you to fix common problems with pictures such as getting rid of red eyes, whitening teeth,enhancing the photo's coloring, adjusting the background, and being able to lighten or darken the photograph as needed. You should also use one that will allow you to easily sort and find your photo's.

When you get a new digital camera the first thing you should do is read the guide and instruction book. Then try out all the settings and buttons to familiarize yourself with your camera. Practice, take some shots and see how everything is working. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

If you are serious about taking good landscape photographs, a tripod is a requirement. I cannot stress this enough. I use a tripod, even in the middle of a bright sunny day. I also use a shutter release cord, to ensure my camera is absolutely as still as possible. Even with your camera on a tripod, pushing the shutter button can cause a slight vibration, which will make your image less sharp.

Some digital photography tricks are very simple, try something as easy as changing your angle. Move directly above the subject and shoot the picture looking straight down. Zoom in to reveal only a portion of their face. Get creative, that is what makes photography fun.. While looking at the subject and the entire surroundings, think about what other photographers would do and create a different way to capture the picture. - 15790
