Undoubtedly no other industry has seen such tremendous growth like the photography business has in the past 20 years.
With the advent of digital technology the joy of taking photographs has become accessible even to children. Digital technology has not only given us immediate photo satisfaction, since we no longer have to wait for film development, but better quality photos as well.
If you are looking to purchase a digital camera you will find ones to meet every budget. The point and click ease with which you can now take photos ensures that everyone, from children to grandparents, can now enjoy photography. Digital technology also allows us to either develop our photos on our own, using photo editing computer software programs, or print our photos directly from our cameras or memory cards. Photo distribution can be done digitally as well, via email or photo sharing websites, allowing you to share your photos with family and friends the moment you take them.
But to those who take photography seriously and view photography as more of an art form; taking photographs is not just a matter of clicking at a button to take pictures. To them this task requires more planning and effort.
Here are a few tips to help you take better pictures:
1. To eliminate shadows when taking photos outdoors on bright sunny days it's a good idea toyou're your cameras flash feature. The flash will eliminate shadows that might appear if the sun is at an angle.
2. Choose a pleasing backdrop, preferably something that suits the atmosphere you want to create. For more serious photographs, a subtle backdrop that is not too distracting is best.
3. To avoid having strangers in your photos pay attention to what is going on around you. Try to take the photo when there are no distractions.
4. Give directions when taking photographs. There is nothing wrong with giving out directions when taking award winning shots! Especially for those group shots for special occasions, such as a wedding pictorial. You want to make sure you have a lasting souvenir of this event that everyone can look back on fondly. Instruct people to smile, ask them to fix their hair if it's unruly, etc.
5. When taking outdoors shots photographers should avoid going head to head with the sun. This makes the people in the picture appear as if they are enshrouded in shadows!
6. Take candid shots! This is a more exciting alternative to dull, boring, posed shots. During parties try to take pictures of friends and family while they are at ease and just having a great time.
With a bit of practice and patience everyone can take great photos and make the precious fleeting moments of everyday life lasts a lifetime.
