Digital Empowerment Photography Lessons - The Frame

By Joseph Fisher


One of the basic and most crucial aspects of the digital photography lessons is mastering the picture frame. When artists and photographers mention "the frame, " they are usually referring to the edges of the image, not the container that holds the image. This is a regular term in empowerment photography.

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.

Here are some of my favorite easy techniques to learn. These digital photography lessons have been the most effective at improving my skills. Changing the Angle - If you are like I once was, you look into the view finder of the camera, the horizon is straight and "snap" you take the picture. I have to admit how drab my photos were. To increase interest in the photograph, tilt the camera about 45 degrees.

Leading Lines - You can improve your photos by pulling the viewer's eye into the photo. A simple way is employing 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 anything else that grabs the viewer's eye and pulls them in.

Third Digital Photography Lessons: Know your lens- Some photographers say that the lens is perhaps the best part of your camera. Which makes the question, which lens is the best for me? Well, the answer is - it depends. If you are a street photographer, use a zoom lens, for a great variability on focal points. If you are a landscape photographer, use those wide angled lenses, to capture the most area.

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.

The amount of light needed can be easily calculated by the cameras internal computer. What can't be automatically computed and where we find the true artistry in photographing, is in the creative decisions that go into each photo. No camera could ever automatically make these sorts of creative decisions. If you want to take your photography to a whole new level and start getting photos that will rival the best professionals. You can go online and find digital photography lessons that will quickly take you out of the fully automatic, grab shot phase and bring in the "WOW" into YOUR pictures.
