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](http://www.profitable-photography-tips-book-1.com/) 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.
