You’ve purchased a shiny new pink digital camera and are ready to put it to use, but you’re not sure how to really make your photos pop. Perhaps you’ve already taken some photos and have had less than stellar results. If this is the case, you don’t need to worry, as the art of photography isn’t something that is learned or acquired overnight. Rather, learning to take better photos comes with practice. After all, there is no way to become better at something without first starting from some baseline. The following article will provide you with some basic tips that will allow you to improve your photos almost immediately.
Perhaps the most common error people make when taking photographs is not paying attention to the ambient conditions around them, the most important being available light. Nothing can ruin an otherwise decent photo faster than dim lighting or a blast of sun directly into the lens. As a rule, your subject should be illuminated enough so that you don’t need to rely on the integrated flash unit for light. The flash is meant to fill in where ambient light is lacking, so be sure to use it wisely. For outdoor or landscape photos, the best opportunity to shoot photos occurs in the couple of hours after sunrise and before sunset. The natural lighting provided during this time is softer and will provide interesting shadows.
Another basic error people make involves the orientation of the camera itself. To begin with, most people will hold their pink digital cameras horizontally regardless of the subject matter. A better solution is to position the camera vertically when snapping photos of a vertical subject, such as a single person or a tall tree. Horizontal shots are best reserved for horizontal subjects such as a large group of people standing side by side or a panoramic landscape shot.
Of course, these are a just a couple of basic tips that will help you on your path to taking better photos. The real solution comes with practice, so get out there and put that pink digital camera to use.
