Digital Camera Tips For Beginner

Have you ever confused how to operate your camera? Or have you ever confused why you could hardly shoot a beautiful pictures like the professional photographer did?

Here are some tips how to use your digital camera for you, and even a beginner can produce great pictures just like you always wanted.

  1. If possible, do not use flash indoors. It will just make your pictures even worse than you have the flash off. It may take longer exposure, but I can guarantee that you will get a better picture.

  2. Experiment your own digital camera. Take pictures with different apertures, shutter speeds, ISO, white balance, focus, etc.

  3. Try to use another angle of view. Try to shoot children from lower angle or cars from higher angle. Every angle contributes new excitement.

  4. Holding your vertically or diagonally can make your pictures look better. I personally like to shoot diagonally, because it leaves me a great impression. Just try it yourself.

  5. Every photographer has his own style. Be confident that you can make a great pictures. I prefer not edit my pictures, because it is for me more interesting and challenging.

  6. Take pictures as much as you can. There are unlimited possibilities how you shoot. This is a way for a beginner to understand better how use the digital camera.

  7. Tripod is a muss for every photographer, especially when you take action in low light condition. It will also help you, if your hands are shaky.

  8. Asking your friends who have this hobby or members of photography forum will help you to obtain knowledge faster. If it is possible, go hunting for awesome pictures with them. Believe me because I have a lot of experiences which I obtained from people who own great photography skill.

  9. The man behind the gun is always you need to remember. There may be camera limitation, but try to push yourself to pursuit your imagination. A tool have limits, but not your imagination.

  10. Get close with the object, unless you have a lens that allows you to zoom rather far. In this way, the object will be more focused and let people recognize what you want to express.

Places for "Hunting"

In this post, I would like to share about places/cities which are great to hunt great pictures. I had my first camera last year and I didn't have many opportunites to travel around Europe, but cities in Germany were my destinations and also Paris, France.
Let me begin:

1. Cologne/Köln, Germany

It is a big city with the famous cathedral which has a great history behind. The cathedral is the first thing you'll see if you arrive in the main station. It is especially beautiful at night. You have to across the bridge and the beautiful view is in fornt of your eyes.
There are more interesting photo objects, but this is the most famous hunting spot.

2. Heidelberg, Germany

Heidelberg is one of the oldest cities in Germany. You will feel it if you go there. It has many old buildings and this city had the famous castle and also the old bridge. A big wine vase is located in the castle and is one of the tourist object.
Heidelberg is also especially beautiful at night. The nice spot is the
mountain which lie opposite the castle.

3. Paris, France

This famous city has many objects to photograph. Of course the Eiffel Tower is the most famous photo object in Paris. You can take picture of this tower from many angles. This photo is my favourite.
For me, 3 days was not enough to explore Paris and it will take much more time to make extraordinary pictures. I think New Year would be great, because there will be fireworks and they will decorate the Eiffel Tower.






Those are beautiful cities to visit and also to photograph. Actually there are many cities in Germany which are also beautiful, but I just didn't have the chances to take pictures. I will also recently give more ideas, if I find other great places.
Hope it is useful for you..
