by Gerry Samms
With so much information available about photography, it may seem challenging to find a quality resource. That is why we have compiled a list of top tips and tricks. Whether you are a professional or someone that just likes to take photos, our advice will help you to get a better picture taking experience quickly and easily.
When doing a photo shoot, take a lot of pictures. With digital cameras and computers, you can take near infinite pictures. You'll have a better chance of getting good photos when you take more. And if you get bad ones, all you have to do is hit delete to get rid of them.
Landscape Photo
Even if you are taking a landscape photo, be sure that your picture includes a point of interest. Shots with no center of attention may look pretty empty and uninspiring. Simple points of interest for the nature panorama image consist of large trees, waterfalls, and remote mountains. An additional trick is to try using something which stands out as the focal point, possibly a patch of varied colored plants.
There are times when the available light is far from ideal for shooting a great landscape photo. It may seem that there is really no good natural light anywhere you'd like to photograph, and this can be discouraging. So, what are your options? You might use photo-editing software, like Adobe Photoshop, to adjust contrasting light levels.
Landscapes
When taking photos of landscapes, use recognizable lines to direct attention to the area you want to highlight. Types of such lines in an outdoor setting could be fences, streets, canals or trees. Locate yourself and the camera in a way to make use of current lines to steer the viewer's eye toward that barn or sunrise or field of flowers in the distance.
Focus your energy. When you are trying to better your photography skills, you will be more productive if you select subjects that appeal to you. If you prefer people watching or lively images, practice with those subjects rather than scenery. Practice keeping your subject in focus while composing a shot that doesn't include distracting elements like telephone lines, trash, or obvious signs.
Even if you are taking a landscape photo, make sure your shot has a focal point. Shots without a focal point can look rather empty and dull. Possible focal points for a nature landscape photo include big trees, waterfalls, and distant mountains. Another trick is to use something that stands out as your focal point, such as a patch of different colored flowers.
Fool around with lens distortion. The majority of photographs use portrait lenses or zoom lenses to spotlight a subject, and use a wide-angle lens for landscapes and the like. Simply by using a lens for a different use than its intended one, you will definitely get a really original photograph. Don't let this become your style: understand when you can work with an original lens.
Try bracketing the exposure on your camera whenever you're in the midst of shooting landscapes to help you get more lighting. You'll want to take a photo, then you'll need to open up the lens aperture, and then you need to close down the lens aperture from the first shot. There are a few digital cameras that permit automated bracketing of three shots.

For that perfect photo, pay attention to depth-of-field! Practice shooting photographs using differing apertures and note how the different settings affect your final image. A smaller depth-of-field is useful for focusing attention on a single element, such as a portrait shot of a person or pet. The background will appear blurry, making the subject stand out. A greater depth-of-field is great for landscapes, keeping the entire frame in focus and allowing the eye to take in the full effect.
When shooting landscapes, it is important for you to create depth within the image. By placing a person or familiar object in the foreground of your photo, you will provide the viewer with a sense of scale. Choosing an aperture that is small -- no larger than f/8 on a consumer level digital camera or f/16 on an SLR using a full-frame sensor -- will keep everything from the background to the foreground sharp.
By way of conclusion photography is a very unique and interesting hobby because of the variety of things it offers. You can take pictures of plants, animals, scenery or whatever your heart desires. The better the quality of your pictures the more enjoyable it will be. Employ the tips from this article and photography will soon be your favorite thing to do.
