Digital photography tips and tricks that will make your shots picture perfect - News - The Times - Beaver, PA
In today's digital world, cameras give people instant gratification. Ten years ago, digital camera technology was still being developed and people had to take film to a store to get their photos developed. Now all you have to do is plug your camera into your computer and you can easily upload and print pictures from the comfort of your own home.
If you've taken any formal photography classes, you probably have a pretty good understanding of the way different types of cameras operate. However, if you haven't, or if you need a refresher, here is a short guide to operating your digital camera and taking quality photographs.
Read the owner's manual and get to know your camera inside and out. Once you become familiar with the settings and options on your camera, you will be able to take better pictures. You should be able to adjust the settings according to lighting and color to ensure that you take the best picture possible in each situation. The normal or basic setting on many digital cameras is "auto." This option will automatically place your camera on the best setting. If you don't have an owner's manual for your digital camera, search online.
Have you ever taken a picture that turned out blurry and you couldn't understand why? The following steps can help you fix blurry pictures:
2. Use proper lighting techniques. If a room offers ample light, do not use a flash. If a room is darker, a flash is required.
3. Knowing what setting your camera should be on can help in capturing a clearer photograph. For example, the "action" setting will allow you to take a photo of a person or an object in motion.
Did someone make a funny face or did you snap the photo when someone was blinking? Before, you would have to wait until you got the pictures back from a film developer to see these imperfections. One of the biggest advantages of a digital camera is that if you don't like a photograph, you can simply delete it and take another.
Some of the best pictures are taken when the camera is in an abnormal position. However, most people will hold a digital camera in the standard position. Be creative with your shots. Explore different angles and try to find a unique way to take your photographs. It is important to remember to adjust your cameras setting accordingly.
Instead of film, a memory card is used in a digital camera. These cards come in a variety of sizes depending on your storage needs. Digital cameras come with a connection cord that makes it easy to connect the camera to a computer. Once the pictures are saved on your computer, you can delete the photographs off the memory card. This process will free up room on the memory card to allow for additional photos.
Capturing important moments with your digital camera doesn't have to be just a hobby. If you find that you have a passion and talent for taking pictures, you may want to consider pursuing a photography degree. There are a wide variety of photography schools to choose from, so you can easily find one to both challenge and excite you.

(ARA) - When it comes to planning a perfect wedding day, there are hundreds of details to consider and scenarios to plan for. However, none of them will mean anything if you don't have a wedding photographer in place capturing each and every memorable moment.
Choosing the right wedding photographer takes patience, research and great specificity. There are certain qualifications any good photographer must have, but it is your individual needs that determine who will work best for your big day. Although it is the photographer's job to take great pictures, it is largely your job to make sure they are in place to get the shots you really want.
Whether you've taken photography classes and understand the way your pictures should turn out, or you simply have specific expectations for your wedding day shots, you are going to be disappointed if your big day isn't captured the way you'd imagined.
So, what can you do to ensure that you get the wedding pictures you want? Follow the steps outlined below to guarantee that your wedding photography meets your expectations - and perhaps even exceeds them:
Provide a detailed timeline of the big day. If your wedding photographer knows exactly what will be happening throughout the day, he or she will know where to be to capture the most candid moments. Unanticipated changes may occur, but the better your photographer understands the timeline, the better he or she will be able to react to new developments.
Be firm about what you want. Communicate clearly with your photographer about what shots you absolutely must have. Don't waver on what is most important to you. When photographers have clear guidelines and expectations in place, it is much easier for them to do their job, and you're more likely to get what you want.
Provide as many examples as possible. Your wedding photographer is going to have a portfolio, but feel free to show them other shots you've found that you really like. If they have examples of pictures you'd like recreated, they have a better chance of capturing those moments on your big day. This step requires plenty of research on your part. Browse wedding magazines, visit studios and look through friends' pictures until you find the style, techniques and overall look that you most enjoy.
Get yourself ready. No matter how fantastically a picture is taken, you are not going to like it if you don't like your appearance. Do a trial run of your makeup and hair, and take pictures in a variety of lighting so that you understand how you'll look in every scenario. Try on your dress and move around in it so you can see how it flows as you move and if there are any last-minute alterations needed.
When it comes down to it, wedding photography is all about capturing the blissful, romantic and highly-charged emotional moments that take place on your wedding day. Be upfront with your photographer about exactly what you want from your wedding pictures, and start looking forward to creating beautiful memories that will remind you for a lifetime of how happy you were on your big day.
