Advanced Photo Tips for Beginners
and Amateur Photographers
A NEW E-BOOK ON DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY FOR EVERYONE
Have you recently joined the ranks of millions of other people out
there? Have you recently purchased or upgraded to a DIGITAL SLR or
ADVANCED DIGITAL COMPACT CAMERA ? Have you been toying with or been
meaning to learn more about digital photography to get the most out of
your new digital camera?
Well, THIS PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK is for you! - (Or click HERE [1] for our
PROPERTY PHOTOGRAPHY Book)!
With the advance of technology and the never ending megapixel race,
it is all too easy to become bewildered and unnecessarily confused
when taking up photography seriously.
Putting all of the technical aspects aside for a moment, what
"_REALLY_" matters when taking a great photograph?
• Is it the make, model or price of your camera?
• The number of megapixels?
• The memory card or post processing software?
NO, what makes a great image is actually quite simple:
• The subject matter (Portrait, landscape, wedding
photography etc).
• How well the subject is lit.
• And how you compose and expose that image in your
viewfinder.
Actually doing this correctly takes practice but if you can get these
basics right at the point of exposure, you have all the time in the
world to play around in your favourite editing program to get the
effects you desire.
If you can arrive back home with a card or film FULL of well exposed,
well composed and perfectly lit images, you are WELL on the way to
moving up a notch and even earning a living from your camera.
Photography is an AMAZING hobby or profession and very few of us get
to make a living from doing something we love, and who _WOULDN\'T
_enjoy getting paid to capture the joy of a wedding or travel the
world taking stock photographs?
If you can get the basics principles of photography under your belt
and truly understand how it works, you will find that everything else
just falls into place. You find that, to coin a phrase, you "_BECOME
ONE WITH YOUR CAMERA_" and can spend more time taking great photos
with confidence in your newly acquired knowledge.
Whether you wish to simply improve your photography as an exciting
hobby, go part-time with the odd wedding or two or even aim to become
a full time professional photographer, this book can help get you
there.
No matter which subject takes your fancy…
1. Commercial
2. Weddings
3. Portraits
4. Travel
5. Stock
6. Children
7. Fashion
…you need the basic skills as a foundation before you can begin to
specialise! One of the easiest ways to learn is to read up and
practice.
