Description
Are you relatively new to digital photography, and want your work to look more polished?Then this is for you!
I am going to share some tips and suggestions that helped me when I first started out, without getting into technical details.
It might take a while to load, please be patient
Please feel free to point out any corrections/additions.
Update: I presented a live tutorial on May 7th in the #photography chatroom on dAmn, that builds upon this one. You can find the log here: [link]

Oh, and if you're shooting indoors without flash, use a tripod. Any small movement to the camera will make the picture come out blurry.

realy nice and helpfull tutorial XD and also well put together
it whould be cool if you also made a more advanced one
one thing othere thing i have to say is about the rule of thirds... i agree that it can be useful for finding compasition...
but people are alwas telling me never to do that because it makes it less interesting.
it probably mostly just depends on the subject of the photo though. in the end im still a amateur photographer and learning so if you have another point of view on this mater let me know cuz im interested XD
nice work man

#3: Taking a photograph and running it through 50 Photoshop filters does not constitute art!
1: Would red eye removal be best from an in-camera effect or during post production?
2: What's the difference between manual and program? Is everything automatic in program and then it allows you to adjust settings?
Thanks. And make sure to put in something about compression settings. My Canon camera (A590) was set to the medium quality by default.

I thought that I had to have a really good camera, like those with huge zoom and stuff (Canon, Kodak, etc). Thank God it hasn't to be like that, you just have to learn the skills!

I am one that doesn't have a camera other than the one on my cell phone. Still, I have managed only to point and shoot, and come out with beauty. Half the time, however, the pic comes out dark/blurry, because my lens sucks.
