EBOOK USING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
To improve the quality of every portrait that you take, you need to use your camera in the right way. Digital cameras are not like single use cameras. They are not always as complex as traditional, film cameras, either. They fit somewhere in between. Still, if you want to get a great picture, you do have to have the right tools to do the job. In fact, the biggest hold up most people have is not knowing the basics of how their camera works. This will slow you down considerably.
The next thing to think about is your lighting. Lighting is key to good photos. Most photographers prefer the light of the early morning hours or the sunset hours because it is farther away and therefore more diffused. The midday sun is simply too harsh and colors are lost because of it.
Still life photography is a lot more difficult than many people realize. When you photograph people or animals it is much easier to capture a mood than when you are photographing inanimate objects. The challenge of creating a mood with still life photography is what can make it so exciting, though. By working with such things as light, shadow, focus and different backgrounds, you can take one still life subject and elicit completely different types of moods. This is your objective; to use inanimate objects to inspire emotion in the viewer.
Make sure that your pictures reflect the theme of your website. If you have created a website about responsible pet ownership, you might not want puppy and kitten pictures on there; it can conflict with the fact that you are trying to convince people to spay and neuter their pets. Make sure that your pictures flow well with the theme of your website and you will find that your visitors will stay longer and enjoy it more.
