Contrary to what many will have you believe learning beginners tips and tricks in photography just isn't that hard. There are of course differences between the old film cameras and the new Digital cameras which you will need to be aware of.
Taking advantage of these differences with the new digital format is really going to help you. And the truth is this stuff really isn't rocket science.
Gaining a Collection of Images
What is great about the digital camera is the fact that you can take an endless amount of pictures. This way, paying for the printing of all the images, whether or not they are good, has been eliminated.
It is a good idea though to make sure you keep your photo collection tidy by removing or editing those photos that just don't quite cut it or are too much the same. This really is essential since otherwise you will probably never find your good photos.
Ways to best go about storing your digital photos
One great way to save on space is to save your images in a lower resolution format. Lower resolution images can take up considerably less space, although you will lose some quality so you may want to experiment a little bit.
If you have plans to have large prints of your photos done, you will probably want to keep the images in a high resolution format. However if the pictures are destined to be viewed on screen then in virtually all cases a low resolution will be fine.
It is also possible with many cameras to change the compression rate/format that your camera saves its images in. Again this means you can save space for extra photos on your memory card.
If there is one thing modern Day cameras are normally short of its memory space, so you really should increase it as soon as possible. If you have any experience with the old film cameras I'm sure you know what it's like to run out of space for photos just when you were poised to take your best ever photo.
How to avoid running out of battery
Your camera's batteries are so important for using your digital camera. The first thing that will probably go wrong is a battery that has run out of juice.
Save on your batteries by turning off the LCD display when it is not in use. You can also turn off the flash and continuous auto focus to reduce these items from using up your batteries.
Having spare batteries with you at all times is very important, whether you're camera has its own special power pack or it takes rechargeable batteries, make sure you have several spares with you.
All amateurs, no matter what their level of experience, can enjoy digital photography for beginners. You can be proud of your images, right from when you first get your digital camera.
You may feel that you are very much a beginner in photography right now, but in the near future if you're dedicated and determined you will find that with practice and trial and error you will be taking shots like the pros.
