Easy Digital Photography Lessons

By: Russell Roberds Home |


How would you feel if you took some fantastic photos? How about if I tell you some digital photography lessons? Let's talk about composition! Studying the composition, or construction of the photo, when taking the photograph is a technique that will improve your photographs. So, how can you construct a better picture?

Composition has many facets like; angle, light, color, depth of field, location of the subject and many others. This list does not go into all of the different items that make up composition, but reveals only a few to get you thinking. If you enact some of these digital photography lessons, your pictures will advance greatly.

I will show you some of my favorite techniques. These digital photography lessons have been the very effective at improving my picture taking.

Changing the Angle - If you are similar to me, you look through the viewfinder in your camera, everything is flat and "snap" you take the photo. I will have to divulge how boring my photographs were. To add more character to the photo, tilt the camera about 45 degrees .

Leading Lines - You can improve your photos by leading the viewer's eye into the photograph. One of the easiest ways that I have found to do this is using leading lines. It could be something as simple as a railroad track or road. You could use the edge of a building, a fence or just about anything that grabs the viewer's eye and forces them to follow a path.

Reflection - Last week I was reflecting on some past experiences... Oh, I know that you don't want to hear me rant on about that, but why don't you think about this: One of the extremely useful digital photography lessons to add dimension is to use a reflective surface. Take a picture utilizing a reflection in water, a mirror, a window or a shiny or metallic object. One of the most famous reflection objects that I know of is called "The Bean" in Chicago.

Fill Flash - You can flash people during the day. Hold on a minute, that doesn't sound right. What I mean is that you can use the flash on your camera during the day to get rid of dark shadows. This works very well with shadows on people's faces.

I hope you incorporate these digital photography lessons into your photography repertoire. They have helped produce some fantastic photographs and if you practice them, they can improve your pictures as well.
