When you buy a new digital camera, most people start with the best intentions to become a truly creative photographer. A glance at the thick manual, technical, complex, and turn the camera on auto … and this is where he stays. Consequently, most of us settle for instant photography when our cameras are capable of many more.
Do you like? Do not worry it is not alone. Manuals reflect the technical power of modern cameras, but they are intimidating to the novice who just wants to take a decent picture.
Digital cameras are like most computer programs, you may find that you can buy a ten per cent of the available functions. So do not stay in knots trying to understand everything. They learn what they need to know and to learn, and you’ll be on track to become a better photographer.
Here are some tips that can make the complexity of the image for you.
Tip 1. Stick to the base. In the days of film, good SLR photographers use two main parameters, the aperture and shutter speed shutter. These were the ingredients of all great pictures. Today, the cameras are supplied with hundreds of features, but I think they really need to understand? If you can understand these two adjustments midway to become a better photographer the manual (I never said you could throw) will tell you which buttons to press on the camera. But to really understand without what these options do not rely on the manual. There’s a lot of information out there, workshops, websites, books and electronic books can help.
The practice has never been easier than it is today. Most units have a semi-automatic configuration, called the Aperture Priority “and” the priority of speed, “which allows him to operate a facility, while the camera takes care of the other. It’s a great way to practice capacity without fear of exposure is not too much.
Tip 2. Learn from your mistakes. If you just deleted all the pictures are not happy to lose a golden opportunity to learn from their own experience. Pictures that are considered “rejects” actually contain useful information – you can really learn from their mistakes?
Say you meet in the opening. Try to shoot a scene three times with three different aperture settings, three slightly different results. Instead of keeping your favorite and eliminate immediately the other, you can transfer to your computer and take the time to look properly. You can see how each parameter change the appearance image and the best setting worked for this topic. Now you can learn from your own results and not a theory in a book.
