Learning Digital Photography in a Flash!
One of your g relatives gave you a digital camera for your birthday and you’re apprehensive about learning digital photography. Don’t be. Other than time and batteries, it won’t cost much and it can be fun.
Once you have installed the software and read the camera’s directions on how to hook it up to the computer, do something crazy like take a bunch of pictures. Take them inside and outside. Take them of any pets you may have and especially take them of the person who gave you the camera. Later in your quest of learning digital photography you’ll learn photo manipulation and you can use their picture to show your appreciation for the gift.
The absolute worst thing that can happen to your pictures is they don’t come out right. Maybe out of focus or the lighting is wrong. The pet wouldn’t sit still or someone blinked, which offers a challenge on its own. Go back to the camera directions and look up delete and the problem is solved.
As you go about learning digital photography you will find it’s a lot easier than you think. The basic approach is to just do it. Take tons of pictures and then sort them out on your computer. The absolutely horrible ones can be deleted to both save space and to be rid of the evidence. The better ones you can catalog and save and the really great ones you can brag about.
The Basics
If you have worked with a print camera previously, learning digital photography will be even easier. There is different terminology that, at first, may seem like learning a whole new language, but the basics are the same. Focus, lighting and composition but the biggest advantage you will find is in the final outcome. You have more control over what the finished picture will look like.
Your basic digital camera will usually have an automatic setting, which gives the camera full authority to adjust focus, lighting and exposure times. Once you put that picture onto your home computer is when learning digital photography starts to be really fun.
Most photo software will enable you to adjust lighting, brightness and contrast of your pictures as well as cropping out any unwanted details. It also allows you to have fun merging images. For example, that picture you took of the camera-giving relative can be manipulated to join their face with the face of your pet to come up with a thank-you-for-the-gift card. When they receive it, they will know you had fun learning digital photography.
