For people who have previously owned film cameras or simple point and shoot digital cameras, and now as prices start to fall, the opportunity to join the rest of us in the exciting world of the DSLR (Digital SLR) is more affordable than ever when beginning digital photography.
This new breed of cameras is quite simply amazing and I sometimes despair when I read reviews and forum comments that air their disappointment when a new camera just released hasn't addressed the issue of "having to go to the menu" to make an alteration, for example.
When you are reading reviews about a certain digital SLR camera that you wish to buy, please take them with a pinch of salt. The reviewers are there to delve full on into every possible avenue open for discussion and any of their personal gripes should not put you off.
If all cameras were released with everyone's whims being catered for, the camera would simply have no room for a viewfinder or a lens because of the hundreds of buttons scattered everywhere. What you need to do, even if you may never use them, is to learn what action each individual button, gadget and gizmo actually does, just in case you happen to need it one day.
Taking a photograph with one of these new cameras can be much more involved than with any other camera in the past, but it is also so much more fun and enlightening! The amount of control that a DSLR can give you when taking your photos means that you can now let your creativity run wild and try new things that just weren't possible with other cameras.
Some things for you to learn or consider when beginning digital photography are;
- How to hold the camera
- Using both eyes when shooting
- How to capture your subject
- Lighting
- Lenses
- Filters
- ISO or ASA settings
- Depth of Field
- Shutter Speeds
- Black and White photography
- Using a Tripod
- Keep your eyes peeled
- Camera viewpoint
- Break the rules
