Are you someone who likes to capture major events and unforgettable moments of life? Then surely you must own a digital camera. Digital cameras or, digicams, capture the image or video digitally, via an electronic image sensor. One of the main reasons why digital photography beats film camera photography is that you immediately get to see the photograph. What's more, a small, tiny digicam can store hundreds of photographs and once you transfer them to the computer, you can do a lot of stuff with them - crop them, resize them, combine them, among other things. Learn how to do all this and much more through this article. Shutter Delay Most of the cameras have a shutter delay. To explain it simply, shutter delay is the slight difference between the moment you click the picture and the moment which was actually captured. To deal with this, get into the practicing mode. Experiment on still objects, observe the delay, and then focus on developing your skills. Golden Hour Taking your digital camera outdoors? If possible, time your photography sessions two hours after sunrise and one hour before sunset. Try this trick and rest assured that the photographs will come out fantastic. Zoom Majority of the digital cameras have a digital zoom as well as an optical zoom. Opt for an optical zoom which is better, and try to avoid the digital zoom. Digital zoom leads to blurry photographs because it adds pixels to the pictures for making them larger. Avoid Only Monochrome/Black and White This is to suggest that newbies to digital photography should avoid using just black and white modes while clicking pictures. It is always a better option to click the photographs in a color mode and then convert them to other color modes like black and white, sepia, monochrome, and others. Do Not Waste Time Once you start on a shooting spree, just go on clicking. Check the photographs later. For this, make sure that your camera has a lot of memory and is stocked up on battery. Memory Matters When buying a digicam, see if you can also buy an additional memory card for increased storage capacity. You shouldn't get stuck in a situation where you run out of memory, but have a great shot that will make an amazing picture, in front of you. So, it is advised that you keep an extra memory card. Capture Yourself Self-timer, a great facility in digicams, allows the photographer to be a part of the photograph as well. In all the hurry and haste of setting the timer and running to the spot for getting clicked, you might cause your camera to drop or fall and get damaged. So opt for a tripod, attach the camera to the tripod, set the timer and then go ahead to be a part of the picture. Not just limited to these tips, digital photography is a field which can be explored to great extents. Go ahead, experiment, and be amazed by the beautiful results.
