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]

Thank you so much for this! It really helped. Though, I do have a question. Why do we try and shoot at the lowest ISO? Is there a specific reason for this? Is Auto good, or is it still recommended to shoot at the lowest? My lowest is 80 and my highest is 800. Thank you again!

Very helpful. Just curious though- as you started out saying about the camera modes, using (P), would you be able to teach some more about the proper resolution size and other "modes" that digital cameras have because I still dont really know which modes should be set for exactly which shots im taking, Usally I just try a bunch of combinations out and try to get lucky with one that turns out good. Even though Ive read the pamphlets 2 million times it doesnt really tell me much and they all pretty much sound like they could all be used for the same shots. Well just an idea for us new-bed. Thanks for the help.

great, loved it. one question: i think that using the white balance would help me, but i can not for the life of me figure out how to set my camera to manual white balance. at all. would you know how to figure that out?

Awesome. This was really helpful. Also, I never realized it before, but the same things you have to consider for photography can be used for good drawings and paintings, too. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out how to improve my work, and this is surprisingly inspiring. Thanks.
