Squirrel Photo | Photographs

Free Digital Photo Prints has posted a new item, 'Squirrel Photo'

Natural photography can be quite a challenge as your subjects do not always
cooperate. I really like this picture. I think the composition is interesting
and the colors are so alive. Not sure how the photographer was able to get the
squirrel to stay still and pose like that but I bet some nuts might have been
involved. Hope you like it as well.

In my neverending effort to learn as much as I can on the subject of photography I comb the Internet incessantly to uncover as many tutorials and instructional videos on picture taking. Whenever I can track down any relevant advice I and my readers can benefit from I post it here on my site. This post contains photography tips I hope you can find effective in your quest to become a better photographer. Here is an OK article with some photography tips. Let me know what you think.

Taking photographs with your digital camera can be very exciting. However, you can make your pictures even more appealing if your learn a few simple tricks of the trade.

Here are 5 digital photography tips you can use:

1) See The Light

Learn how to see the light. See the color of light, see the direction of the light, see the quality or light observing the shadows and the highlights. Do not forget the contrast of the scene too. That way you can set your exposure accordingly.

2) Depth & Dimension

Try to create a sense of depth and dimension in your pictures. In other words, we see the world in 3 dimensions which are height, width and depth but our digital cameras only see in two dimensions. So it is your job as a photographer to try create a sense of depth. One way to do that is to use a foreground element when composing your shots.

3) Tell The Whole Story

Take the wide angle shots, medium shots, vertical shots, horizontal shots and look for details. Do not be afraid to shoot close ups. If you have a lot of pictures you can tell the whole story because as photographers we are story tellers but we need a wide variety of pictures to tell the whole story.

4) Frame It

When you are photographing someone look for a doorway, look for a window so you can frame the person you are taking a picture of. Do not just take pictures of the subject standing in front of a boring background. You will get a much more interesting picture good enough for framing.

5) Envision End Result

Always envision the end result, for me photography is a 50/50 deal. Fifty percent image capture and fifty percent digital darkroom work. Take a simple photograph of a rock in the Arizona desert for example, you can turn that into a black and white picture, you can warm up the picture to make it look like it was taken early in the morning or later in the day.

You can cool it off to make it look like it was taken at midnight and perhaps best of all if there is a subject in the scene that you do not want, you can crop it out.

Baby Photography Tips | Digital Photography Tips

As soon as I am able to track down any useful advice myself and my readers are able to learn from I publish it here on this blog.

They are the most expressive subjects. They grab attention like no other. They can make a picture look simply stunning. But…they are unpredictable, ask for immense tolerance and can make you feel frustrated. I am referring to Baby photography.

Photographing babies can be quite a challenge. Here are few baby photography tips to help you snap an enticing baby photo:

Tip 1: Be Vigilant

In baby photography, you are dealing with someone who is absolutely his/her own master. You need to wait for his/her grace. Thus never remove your finger from the camera. You never know when your little one will give you that smile you are looking for.

Tip 2: Choose a friendly location

Friendly here means comfortable and adaptable for your baby. Typically, the best location for this would be in-house. However, if you are planning to take pictures outdoors, make the location adaptable. Keeping your babies’ favorite toy or blanket can come handy while taking baby pictures. Also taking your child to a location before the actual time of shoot helps them adjust to the alien environment.

Tip 3: Make the child familiar with the camera before you shoot

Let your child touch the camera while you hold it. (Don’t place it in their hands because it will end up in their mouth.) Hold the camera in front of your face and then jump out and say peek-a-boo.

Ask friends, neighbors, and relatives to take pictures of your child while you stand in the background. This helps your child get used to other people being the photographer.

Tip 4: Do you have right camera?

Baby photography demands different camera tactics. The equipment should have high shutter speed (to get a picture when you baby is constantly on a move); less reload time and so on.

It is advisable to use a handheld camera – if possible, a digital camera. Digital cameras are preferred as you might have to take a good deal of pictures to get that perfect shot. However, digital camera pictures may not look professional sometimes.

Tip 5: Catch the eye

Shoot at the eye level of you child. This makes the image appear more enticing and expressive.

Baby photography requires tweaks in your skill and demands patience. I have gathered these tips from my own observations and talking with my photographer friends. If you would like to add something more, feel free to contact me.

You have a great Baby photo. What next??

Since the blizzard that everyone was panicking over turned out to be much ado about nothing, I thought a post showcasing a really cool photo might be in order. Yesterday they sent kids home from school early, declared a snow emergency and were ticketing and towing cars left and right due to the city’s snow emergency parking ban. The we got mostly rain and a couple of inches of wet snow that is mostly gone now. Not that I like snow all that much, but it does make for some really good photo opportunities. I do like horses though so here you go:

When we hunt for photography tips, we tend to look for something revolutionary. But often you don’t need a revolution — just a few small, simple changes in how you approach the craft of photography. Perhaps the easiest tip to remember — although not always the easiest to practice — is to consider your photograph as a photograph, and not just a subject.

This is not a pipe

You’ve probably heard people discuss what they take photographs of. They’ll say things like, “This is a picture of my new baby.” Notice that their vocabulary is giving them away: they’re interested in the photograph for its subject, not for the photograph as a whole.

Many people are familiar with Margritte’s famous painting of a pipe. Underneath the picture it says, “This is not a pipe.” And it isn’t. It’s a painting. But our instincts scream at us to look at it in terms of its subject — the pipe — and not what it is. That’s why no amount of photography tips can help us until we learn to view photographs as whole compositions, not isolated subjects.

Considering how it blends together

When you start to consider photographs in terms of a whole, instead of as a picture of something, then all of a sudden far more factors come into play. It’s no longer only important how the light strikes your subject, but how it filters into the background. You’re no longer concerned solely with the expression on your subject’s face, but with how the trees bend behind them.

The simplest sounding photography tips often turn out to be difficult in practice, but there’s no real trick to viewing a photograph as a composition instead of a subject. All it really takes is attention to detail and the ability to train your eye.

The Marvels of Modern Technology

Fortunately, if you’re using a digital camera — and at this time, most people are — you have a built in cheat to help you consider your photograph as a whole. It’s called an LCD screen, and it lets you step back and look at the image just like you would an actual photograph. You can move it around, mess with colors, lighting, and exposure, an all the while get the full effect of the eventual shot.

The key to remember? That you’re not just looking at your subject but at your shot. Instead of asking yourself if the subject looks good, ask yourself if you like the photograph as a whole. Once you take that step, you won’t need photography tips to help you create the perfect shot.

Want to take your photographs to the next level? Learn from the pros the tips and tricks they use to take amazing photographs and how YOU can use them to take photos that will make you say WOW in this fantastic mini-course, Secrets of the Master Photographers.
