Digital Empowerment Photography Lessons With Focus And Exposure

By Joseph Fisher


Do you want to snap some unbelievable photographs? Would you like some digital photography lessons? Let's talk about composition! Thinking about composition, or how the picture is constructed, when taking the picture is a technique that will improve your empowerment photography skills. How can you build a better photograph?

First Digital Photography Lessons: Utilize your autofocus and auto exposure mode, with the fairly complicated process of aperture and shutter speed, coupled with the time-consuming manual focusing, autofocus and auto exposure can indeed become a lifesaver. Professional photographers use manual mode, meaning, that they manually set their aperture and shutter speed to get an optimal image quality according to their project. Of course, manual mode does make better photos, with better knowledge of the control. So people who tweak the manual mode in a random way almost get bad images, even pure black, and white at times. The auto exposure sets the shutter speed and aperture automatically to help you.

On the other hand, autofocus is also a function that would make your life easier. It works when you hold your shutter halfway, where you could see the focus occurring. The time it saves for you is not that significant, but if you are rushing, it could help a lot.

Another exercise that will help improve your photographs is to photograph the same subject in different ways. Take a close-up shot as well as a wide-angle shot. Shoot at least three different details of the main subject. With this exercise it is important to shoot, "full frame." In this day of digital photography and digital darkroom cropping, we seem to have lost this technique and talent.

By forcing yourself to shoot "full frame, " you stretch your skills as a photographer and artist. This forces you to consider all of the elements within the viewfinder. Once you have a strong base of this skill, it is fine to break away from it; establishing the skill first is the key to improving the quality of your digital photographs.

Shutter speed is nothing more than the amount of time the aperture is open... Letting in light to the film or digital sensor. Of course there are bunches of combinations of shutter speed and aperture - but the basics are pretty simple wouldn't you agree?

Some techniques are simple to learn and have to do with your equipment. Try experimenting with your lens filters for a new view... Try rubbing a thin film of Vaseline onto an old filter (but NEVER directly onto a lens - this will permanently ruin your lens), or try wrapping something around the filter, like a piece of tinted cellophane or a patch of pantyhose for an interesting effect.

Fifth Digital Photographing Lessons: Equipment do matter- To maximize your shooting experience, purchase some equipment to assist you. Tripods are used for long exposure shoots, speed lights for more options on your lighting, an umbrella for light manipulation, water proof case for underwater shots, battery grip for doubled battery life, and a lot more accessories to make your photographer life easier.
