Looking for a starter guide for photography can seem really easy. Go to any book store and there are dozens of books out there. Unfortunately, most of them are filled with pictures and nothing else but little captions with little value. This article will direct you through a step by step process of taking better shots.
The first step
To start, the first thing you are going to want to do is grab your camera. It doesn't matter if it's a point and shoot, a digital SLR, or your cell phones camera. After you have your camera, now you are going to want to learn everything you can about how to use it. Learn what every single button means. This is a critical step for photography. As a painter knows how to use a paint brush, you should learn how to use your camera.
Photography is much more technical than just pushing the shutter button. The more you know, the more control you have over your shot. It's nice to occasionally take an awesome shot that looks perfect, but you'll enjoy it much more when you know exactly what you did to make a photo look beautiful and have the power to do it over and over again.
The Second Step...
The next thing you are going to want to get good at in photography is how to compose photos. Composition is key to making a photo look pleasing and nice. Start following some techniques on photography and get yourself a good program that covers all of the techniques in depth. Go through it and practice every day with the techniques you learn.
The Third Step..
When the first two steps are complete, it's time to get to a more advanced and artistic level. It's time to start developing your own personal style and creating powerful messages through your photography. Sure, it's nice to take photos that look good, but taking a photo that makes people think about their lives or feel certain emotions is unbelievable.
