There are a lot of ways to discover how to use your digital camera, but do these methods make you a more productive photographer? The answer to that is “maybe”. You see, the digital camera is merely a tool to make artistic photos. It depends on the way that tool is used that determines the finest and most stunning shots. Essential Digital Photography Techniques To get stunning images we first need to look at some indispensable photography principles. The initial one I am able to share with you is learn about light. When you learn about light and in what way it forms a relationship with with the immediate surroundings then your pictures will get better. Check out shape and form- Where you place things in the photo is next. Continuously have a look at the angles and structures of the things you are taking photos of. Do they create a symmetrical photo that is pleasing to the eye? One technique to master the ways linked to photographing good composition is to see where these things direct our eye. Each time look for a balance and simpleness. Practice these things by shooting easy surfaces that have nice straight lines, or curved lines and symmetrical patterns. Don’t have anything else in the backdrop. A nice way to get started with this artistic technique is photographing buildings. Architecture is filled with lines. Take shots of walls, angles in the walls, look at how these lines direct us and how it looks as a photo. This is great practice. This system of seeking symmetry will greatly advance your photography, ten fold in fact. Simple Photography Techniques Investigating light- One of the best techniques I know is to examine and scrutinize light. Try this: each time you take a look at something, observe how bright the light is, what direction it is coming from, the amount of darks and lights it creates and the colour of that light. For the next week, each time you photograph something, write down what you saw and then what it looked like as a photo. Once you have successfully mastered this method start photographing your lines and curves. If you start shooting in this way you will observe that a) your technical ability increases and b) your photos begin to look artistic and a whole lot more appealing. It’s not only simple to do, but a lot of enjoyment. You will begin to feel like you are having a relationship with light. Your understanding of light improves. As your appreciation improves, so do your images. You will start to identify what will work as a photo just by considering the scene in front of you. It’s a fantastically positive and empowering sensation. Enhanced Photography Techniques Enhanced photography techniques come with training. Practice takes time. Time requires commitment and a motivation to learn. One of the things that assisted me to gain knowledge of photography was the exploration of light and shape. Another advantageous thing you can do is to write everything down on paper. Before you shoot write down notes about the light. Ask yourself and write down the answer to: What is the light doing? How does it make your scene appear? How does the light change the mood of your scene
