Digital Photography Tips - Five Tips To Help You Improve

By Erin Song


Do you fancy yourself an expert in the world of photography? But do you also have some photos captured where you know you could have done much better but didn't? It happens to all of us - even the expert photographers.

So if you want to level up from newbie to digital photography expert, take note of these five tips that can help you whether you're using a digicam or cell phone.

Composing Your Photo

Digital photography is, in many ways, an art form, which means composition means everything. Put something in the frame. For instance, if you shoot a photo of the clear blue sky above and nothing else, this creates a tacky effect that may even be boring in the end. Or how about trying a vertical shot if horizontal doesn't work - it just might have a more forceful impact than the horizontal photos you were taking earlier.

You can also try positioning your subject off to the side, rather than in the center of the photograph.

Work On Your Close Up Shots

Your digital camera has a "macro mode" - think of it as a super magnifying glass. For a touch of the unorthodox and innovative, the macro mode feature can bring your subjects even closer and make hitherto unseen textures have added prominence. And when you're doing something different, you are usually doing something good - use the macro mode feature and feel free to try different settings of it.

Buy a Tripod

Digital cameras are prone to blurry photographs if your hands shake even a little bit. Several companies manufacture light, portable, inexpensive versions. This is one of the digital photography tips that could really save you some time at the end of the day.

Be Proactive

Take your shot from the top of a teeter-totter, off the side of the boat, or standing on your head. Be proactive, and be creative. If you get creative and think out of the box, that touch of the unusual can make your photos unique and interesting.

Photography Class

Are these digital photography tips not enough for you? Well, in that case you have to practice, but maybe you can practice with the help of an expert. You can enroll in photography classes at a local recreation center or community college, or anywhere on the 'net.

Becoming an expert at digital photography takes time; you won't become a professional photographer in your first week. It's all about going for what is out of the ordinary rather than merely what is tried and tested (though the latter does work a lot), and you'll be on your way to becoming one of the best in your craft.
