Good for you! However, with such a wealth of information available regarding photography, figuring out where to start can be daunting. Here are some ideas to get you on the road to quickly improving your skills so you can take stunning pictures.
Test varying shutter speeds to learn which speed works best for certain scenarios. You can choose to leave the shutter open and capture the night sky as it swirls overhead, or set if for a fraction of a second to capture high speed action. Faster shutter speeds should be used to capture objects in motion, while slower shutter speeds are great for still shots.
When shooting landscapes, it is important for you to create depth within the image. If you have an object or person in the foreground of the picture, it can help you deduce the scale of the photograph. If you want more sharpness in your photos, especially in the fore- and background, opt for a smaller aperture. This means an aperture of f/8 in a general digital camera or no more than f/16 in full-frame SLR cameras.
A major part in photography composition would be the framing. To remove things that aren’t relevant to your subject matter, zoom into its focal point. This helps your photo remain clutter-free without distracting elements.
When you have to make a choice on what photos you want to show off, pick the best ones! Avoid showing every photo you have taken of a particular subject. You photos will not be interesting and hold your viewers attention if you do not mix things up and photograph different subject matter. Keep what you show other people fresh and exciting by showing many different types of photos.
Often a photographer will be so concerned with a landscape background that he neglects the details in the foreground. However, this is the first place the viewer’s eye will land. Ensure that the foreground of the photograph has a striking frame and considers depth in the shot.
Take a tip here to enhance your photographs! Learn the basics about different types of shutter speeds. There are P, M, A, and S settings on your camera. The “P” setting means program mode. This function is for your camera to automatically detect various aspects of lighting and will adjust the shutter speed and aperture for you. If you do not know what you will be taking a picture of, have the “P” setting on.
Photograph human subjects. Ask permission before photographing anyone. People from foreign lands add authenticity, character and liveliness to photographs. Look for people with interesting faces, candid expressions and casual, local dress.
Consider becoming a member of a photography group, or make friends with another budding photographer. While you do not want to let someone else influence the style of you pictures, you may be able to learn some new techniques and tricks from others. Compare your pictures with each other, and marvel at how one object can be perceived so differently by two people.
Hopefully you should have an idea of what to do next when it comes to bettering your photography skills. You can always come back to this list if you need to. Just stick with it; with persistent you can turn your photography into an art form!
It’s the photographer’s imagination and skill that create a magnificent picture, a camera no matter how good it is is only a tool.
