Point and click. The new life of digital cameras gives us all the
opportunity to capture images as we go. Whether you simply hit the shutter
button to take pictures of your friends and family or if you want to have
your camera with you at all times in order to capture the beauty of life
wherever you find it, getting the most out of your digital camera can be
easy.
Let's imagine ourselves with the perfect set up of digital camera and a
few accessories to make things just right. My personal and professional
recommendation is that we start with memory. Get more today. If you only
have one memory card for your camera it is time to add to the collection.
If you have more than one then good job! The more memory you have for your
digital camera the less likely it will be that you get stuck wanting to
take more pictures and have no more room on the storage. Memory is
relatively cheap, takes up no space in your kit and gives you total
control over creativity.
Your camera comes with a variety of quality settings to work with when
taking images. Don't use TIFF, leave it on one of the medium quality level
settings and your camera will take fine images for you and not eat up all
your memory. If you use the highest setting you will get very few images
onto your card. They will for the most part be of very high quality but
you would only want to shoot at that level of quality if you are intending
to make high quality large format prints of your images.
Now if that child of yours is just so incredibly cute and your wall is
aching for a portrait of his or her shining face then by all means do it
on the highest quality. The key will be to use good software to process
the image and then a printer that can make a large format, high quality
print of your image. They exist and for not unreasonable prices I might
add.
I was stunned at a recent art show in my neighborhood to be looking at a
photographer's exhibit of large size prints (18x24 and up in size) to find
out that he shoots exclusively in digital now. He was a former film
photographer who switched over in recent years and now makes stunning
prints from his digital images. His landscape images were simply amazing
and to find out that he shot them on a good digital camera made me very
curious about the process, but that is fodder for another article.
Juice is the answer to your next question. Always have more juice. I spent
20 years in the TV news business and my mantra was always have extra
batteries ready to go and an extra tape under the back seat in case of
emergency. For TV cameras the batteries were always big and heavy
rechargeable NiCads. Lithium batteries are the rage nowadays as they are
lighter in weight, have no memory problems, and run longer. Digital still
cameras can take advantage of Lithium batteries but the cost is often
slightly prohibitive for most of us. Some camera systems use proprietary
battery systems. I would recommend not buying into that sort of system.
Try to buy a camera that uses universal types of batteries such as AA's. I
use a camera that takes AA's and I have three sets of rechargeable
batteries so I can rotate through them and never be caught short. Total
cost for three sets of batteries is about $30, and they will last you
several years if you treat them right. If you just buy regular AA
batteries and shoot a lot of images your battery cost might triple that
over a like period of time.
Edison did it and now we consider him a genius. Experimentation is the
name of the game. Digital images cost you nothing but time and a little
battery life. Play around and take lots of shots of things, people,
events, you name it. Look at magazines, newspapers and notice what images
look cool to you. Try to take shots like that yourself so you can see how
it is done. This will get you thinking about how to make your everyday
shots better. Look for new and different ways to frame things, take both a
vertical and a horizontal shot of the same thing and see how it changes
perspective. Get closer to your subject, or get farther away to see which
looks better. Find something unique about your subject and look for a way
to exploit that for a better image. Here is and example, say for instance
you have a great looking car you want a picture of, well don't stand
across the street from it and zoom in on the car, get right up close with
the sun behind you so the car is sparkling shiny and fills the whole frame
of the image. Find it's best feature and center that in the shot say the
awesome lines of front of the car or snazzy wheels.
Print something from your camera every week to remind you of the beauty of
everyday things. Take shots all the time, pick one and print it out and
then put it in front of you for a day or a week. Live life as though you
want beauty around you all the time. If you are madly in love then
surround yourself with pictures of that love. If you live in a beautiful
place then take pictures of it all the time to make sure you never forget
how special it is to be there in your life. Don't let those images hide
away and not be seen. Wallpaper on your computer can be another place to
put your weekly image, change it regularly with images from your family,
work, life, hobby and you will get more smiles and more joy out of your
camera than you know what to do with. My current wallpaper takes me back
to a wonderful day on a mountain lake this past summer paddling kayaks in
the afternoon breeze. What about yours?
