So you have a brand new digital camera and you want to starting photography it to take expert like photos instead of the regular ones! I will tell you that it is a very good idea. It will provide you with a lot of entertainment, exercise and something to boast of in front of friends, family and your office colleagues. Did I say exercise? Well, yes. The thing is that you need to move the muscles of your brain and your body a bit to get quality photos. But don’t be put down. Put a little effort and notice your photos turning professional.

Learn to hold your digital camera properly. Hold the camera as still as possible and stable specifically in bad light or in photos of fast objects like sports cars and moving creatures. The best solution is always to make use of a tripod in such situations but it is not always feasible. There may not be adequate space to place one.

Hold the camera as close to your body as possible even when viewing through the LCD and keep your elbows tucked in. In shots where the shutter will be open for a longish time like at night try drawing in breath and holding it. Right handed folks hold the camera with the right hand with the thumb supporting the back, the forefinger lightly placed on the shutter and the other fingers curled around the right side and clasped to the front strongly but not too tightly.

While composing the shot ask yourself what specifically you want to display. Is it a specific object in front of you or do you want to capture your how you are feeling or is it going to be a record of what’s happening before you. If you’re capturing a particular object make sure it is large enough to fill the majority of the frame. In case you are too far away get close or increase the magnification of the lens or use a tele lens. If you want to capture your emotions move around the camera a bit until you find a shot that is neat and goes well with the way you are feeling.

The atmosphere of a place can be effectively captured by recording stuff that are specific to the place- like ice cream sellers with kids crowding around at the beach. If you separate an image into six by three equidistant horizontal and three vertical lines the four joining points of the lines are where you should pick from ideally to place the object you think is more important. Leave out any confusing detail by excluding it or by blurring the background. It is possible to blur the background through the use of a tele zoom lens or by choosing a lesser f number for your exposure if you have manual or aperture priority options in your camera.

Exposure is a tricky thing. Do not entirely depend on your camera’s auto settings and figure out how to override them. If the focus of the shot is darker than the rest of it, try boosting the exposure manually from the auto reading suggested by the digital camera. Do the opposite if it is lighter than the surroundings.
