How To Take Digital Photos

    View: 
Here are a few tips to help get you started taking better digital photos.



1. Avoiding common mistakes ?

One of the biggest advantages of digital photography is being able to fix problems in your photos after the shooting is done. However, you can save yourself a lot of time simply by taking better photos in the first place. Here are a few suggestions to help you get better results:

Pay attention to what's in your frame: Carefully look over the image on your digicam's LCD for anything in the frame that you don't want in the photo. If you see a telephone pole sticking out of Uncle Harry's head then it might be a good idea to move yourself or your subject to avoid it. Always look at your background before pressing that shutter button. Besides, if you watch the background you won't miss that shot of a UFO doing a flyby behind the wedding cake.

2. Using the flash -

It's always better to turn off the flash on a small digital camera and use the available light, but for dimly lit, indoor snapshots, the flash can make the difference between an out of focus splash of colors or getting a sharp shot of your brother splashing backwards into the pool still wearing that rented Tux.

Avoid red-eye by changing your angle: You all have seen those photos where the people have those glowing red eyes. No, it's not time to call the Exorcist, it's because when using flash you shot the photo with the subject's face dead on. Move to a slight angle to decrease the intensity of the red-eye.

3. Get closer to your subjects -

If you intend to include a large amount of background, then by all means stand back. Otherwise, get close to your subject! Some photographers tend to stand too far away, especially when shooting portraits. Or they could just have a sensitive nose!

4. Get better prints from your digital camera -

Most of the time the images on your camera's LCD screen look great but are disappointing when you print them. No it's not time to play Office Space and take the printer out to the sandpit and clobber it into little chunks. The problem is that flaws can be difficult to see on your digital camera's small screen.

Sometimes your image simply needs a little work. If you have a photo that prints poorly, try modifying the image in Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements before printing. Lightening or darkening an image can make a dramatic difference. And sometimes it helps to boost the contrast or to use the sharpening filter (but I recommend that you do so sparingly).

5. Put your photos online for friends and family to enjoy -

Because there are no film or processing costs involved when using a digital camera it's easy to snap a humongous number of photos. Finding a practical way to share your pictures with friends and family can be a hassle. Fortunately, there are many Web sites that allow you to upload your photos to online albums, as well as order prints of them to be mailed to your home.

Photo-sharing Web sites, such as Webshots, Flickr, or Shutterfly let you arrange your photos into albums and display them for visitors. Many of these sites also offer online image-editing tools that will help you erase that Frisbee logo from your official UFO photos.

Where can I find out all about digital photography?

There are a plethora of choices today! I personally have converted to this new medium, (thus I don't have to pack bags of film or worry about airport X-ray issues!) I have the following points to offer you: If you are buying an SLR camera that will take your existing interchangeable lenses, expect to spend serious money. The Nikon D100 body alone can be found selling for about U.S. $ 1,000.00 (May 2006), and the excellent new Nikon D70 for $ 999.00.We still have film, but use that as back up. Our digital equipment will allow us to make up to 30 x 40 prints of the same quality that we would get when we shot with our medium format film camera's.I began the switch to digital photography in late 1998 when I purchased the Kodak DC-260. After purchasing professional grade Nikon equipment in early 2004, I made the switch to digital photography.

Question: What do you think of digital photography?

Answer: For many years I was a dedicated film user and was reluctant to switch to digital. With a few Photoshop classes for nature photographers behind me I wish I had made the switch years earlier. Digital cameras and Photoshop are incredibly powerful tools and they will only get better.Part of what makes the FAQ interesting for me and useful for other is, I think, that it's a living document. It's constantly evolving and contains many links that people can follow to get more information. I'm afraid that it would lose some of this appeal in printed form.Digital cameras offer you a very important advantage over film.

What is your opinion of digital photography ?

There is no question that some of today's digital cameras can produce an image that is sharper and shows more detail than film.But digital is a very different medium than film and I still feel film has some useful qualities that are not yet present in digital. Also film can always be scanned into a digital format later (the way most Hollywood movies and TV commercials and shows are made.) The critical factor for you should be how good the photographer is at using the medium of their choice.I'm Ron Parr. You can email me at "ronparr - at - (You'll need to convert that to a proper email address.

What can I do to improve LCD visibility in bright sunlight?

Why this long lag or delay between when I press the shutter and when the camera takes the picture? (shutter lag)I'm Ron Parr. You can email me at "ronparr - at - (You'll need to convert that to a proper email address.) Feel free to email corrections or suggestions.

What resolution camera do I need if I want to produce prints of a certain size?

How much resolution is enough? (When should I stop caring if they add more resolution to new models?)Digital photography is just as good if not better than 35 mm photography. Prints for digital images make beautiful enlargements up to 20 x 30 inches. Digital photography is useful when you will require enlargements larger than 11x14 inches in size. Otherwise, if you are expecting to have enlargements no larger than 11x14 you do not need digital photographs. Both 35mm & digital photographs come out 4x6 inches and will produce fine quality reprints and enlargements up to 11x14 inches in size.A. I never have to limit the number of images I can photograph at your wedding. I am not wasting film, so I can keep shooting until I get the exact moment I want. B. We used to be limited to the type of film in our camera, no more.
