Taking Great Photos You'll Never Delete

Isn't it so annoying to come back from vacation, a photo shoot, or a soccer game and see that a handful of your best shots aren't so good looking. Sure, they looked awesome from the LCD screen, but on your computer screen they're blurry, noisy, or too dark. Having to delete many photos from mistakes like these is awful. That's why I wrote this article to show you how to take photos that will look twice as good on a big screen instead of worse.

The reason that many photos are getting ruined is not because you are bad at composing shots. It's not because you have a bad eye for photos. It's because you don't "dance" with your camera very well. Learning the "dance" of your camera will get you to take more perfect images easily.

What I mean by the dance of your camera is that your camera has a language and you need to learn it as fluently as possible. Many beginners go out and buy super expensive cameras but don't even take the time to learn all the functions and features of this camera.

The more that you know about the camera you are using, the more power and flexibility you have to take photos. This higher amount of technology in cameras enables photographers to take photos that have no limit. Higher technology does not make you better at taking pictures, it just opens the doors to let you do more creative ideas that were not possible a few years ago. For example, the box that lets you take pictures underwater let people take photos in water...something not possible before it was created. A person that is bad at taking photos will still take bad photos under water.

There are a lot of functions on your camera that can make the task very daunting. The two most important things you need to know are the aperture and the shutter speed. The aperture controls how much light is let in, in settings such as F16 or F5.6. The shutter speed controls how long light is let through the aperture. It is measured in settings such as 1/1000 and as slow as 1 second.

The key to a photo that is properly exposed is to find the right combination of these two settings. They both impact each other. It's fine to use the auto mode which automates all of this, however, know that certain settings will suffer in this mode. Settings with the sky, lots of movement, and low light will not come out as good when you let the camera go on auto mode.
