Undoubtedly there is no other industry that has been hit with such a tremendous growth over the past 20 years than the electronics field.
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.
Yet for some people digital photography is more than point and shoot; many people consider photography a form of art and believe that taking a photograph requires planning, patience, and effort.
Here is a list of tips for taking better pictures
1. When shooting outdoors during bright, sunny, days it would be best to use a flash. This will get rid of the shadows that sometimes appear on the faces of subjects on photographs.
2. Highlight your subjects with appropriate backgrounds. If your background is too fussy or distracting you will take the eye off the main subject and potentially ruin your photograph.
3. When taking outdoor photographs you have to make sure you pay attention to what's happening around you. This way strangers don't mysteriously appear in group shots!
4. Voice your intention prior to taking a photograph. Giving your subjects direction will help you get the shot you are looking for the first time. This is especially important if you are photographing an important event such as a ceremony or function. Make sure you get the photos you want by telling your subjects to smile, ask them to fix their hair if it's unruly, etc.
5. When taking outdoors shots place your back to the sun. This will put the spotlight where it belongs, on the subjects themselves.
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.
