5 Basic Photography Tips For Beginners

Some photography tips can be applied to not only dSLR camera to get great results. So, even if your camera is a pocket camera or even a camera phone, the following five tips can be very useful for you, especially if you're really just learning photography.




Rule of Thirds
It is a composition technique that is very easy to learn. In essence, your picture will look more attractive if the object is not right in the middle. All digital cameras - even that is in your phone - has settings 'grid', which consists of two vertical lines and two horizontal 'lin
es' so it will look like your picture is divided into 9 parts. If you enable this option, then you will be able to set the location of objects in two-thirds of the photos by the guide lines.

Change the camera height or angle of view

Most people take pictures with the camera eye level heights. But this is a boring way. Try to move the camera up or down to get a more interesting photo. This may be difficult because you can not see what you photograph through the viewfinder. But over time, you will find a way to take pictures with unique ways or - simply - you can use a camera that has a flexible LCD that can be tilted in any direction to control the composition.

Always Use option Maximum Resolution and Quality
Because the memory card is now not a luxury anymore, there's no reason to save its capacity by using smaller image size option or low resolution. Always use the highest option available camera. That way, you have a good quality photo that can be printed, edited, and shared without compromising its beauty. If your camera supports RAW format - which is where all the camera sensor recorded data stored - use that format.

Important Trio In Exposure: ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed
This is the hardest part about photography for beginners. In short, it's like this:
  • ISO is how sensitive the camera's sensor to light; higher ISO will allow you take pictures even under low light, but there will be more 'noise'. ISO lower the better, but it is not always possible to be used primarily indoors.

  • Determine the focal length aperture (f number or f /) and describe the physical size of the lens opening. Higher numbers mean there is a small hole to put a little light, the results will show the sharpness of the background area. Small f numbers mean large aperture lens, and the background will appear blurred or out of focus.

  • Shutter speed is how long the shutter remains open to let light into the sensor. If it is open for a long time, then the resulting image will show the movement, while a short time will catch only a silent movement.

Learn your camera Fashion What's In
Even compact cameras also have at least the following modes:
  • Manual mode which will let you manage all the shooting options.
  • Automatic. Who submit fully automatic setting on the camera.
  • Programmed which provides more options for specific objects or specific techniques such as sports, portrait, fireworks, and so on.



On a dSLR camera, you will find some other mode, and is also important for you to know. These settings will let you set some variables and handed the rest of the settings on the camera.


Av / A: Aperture Value. It is most commonly used for general shooting and give you the flexibility to adjust numbers Aperture or f /. The camera will then calculate the best shutter speed and ISO to cooperate with the f number you select.


Tv / S: Time Value / Shutter Speed. This will give you control over shutter speed, of course. Then the camera will determine the aperture and ISO best numbers to use.


Two modes above is the most you will learn if you are really new to dSLR.
