Easy Digital Photography Lessons

Would you like to snap some incredible pictures? Would you like some Digital Photography Lessons? Let's talk about composition! Thinking about composition, or how the picture is constructed, when snapping the picture is one item that will improve your photographs. So, how to construct a better photo?

The composition arrangement can deal with; depth of field, light, color, position of the main subject and many others. This list does not go into all of the different items that make up composition, but reveal a few to get you thinking. If you enact just a few of these Digital Photography Lessons, your photos will improve dramatically.

I will show you some of my favorite tricks. These digital photography lessons have been the most dynamic at developing my photographic ability.

Changing the Angle - If you are like I once was, you peer into the view finder in the camera, everything is straight and "click" the picture is taken. I must divulge how drab my photos were. To add more character to the photograph, you tilt the camera slightly .

Leading Lines - You can improve your photos by pulling the viewer's eye into the photograph. A very easy way that I have found to do this is with leading lines. Leading lines are as simple as a road, dock or shoreline. You could use the edge of a building, a fence or anything else that will grab the viewer's attention and leads them to the subject in the picture.

Reflection - Last week I was reflecting on the past... Oh, I am sure that you wouldn't like to hear about that, but why don't you think about this: One of the exceedingly useful digital photography lessons to add dimension is to use a reflective surface. You could take a picture using a reflection in a window, water, a mirror or anything metallic and shiny. The most famous reflection object is called "The Bean" in Chicago.

Fill Flash - Flashing people in the daytime will help your picutres. Wait a minute, that doesn't sound exactly like I meant it to. What I should have said is that you can use the flash on your camera during the day to get rid of dark shadows. This works especially well with shadows on people's faces.

I hope you incorporate these Digital Photography Lessons into your photography repertoire. They have helped create some fantastic photographs and if you practice them, I am sure they will enhance your photographs as well.
