How To Take Better Photos…

by JD

Technology integrates more and more in our everyday lives. With photography, for example, we clearly see how the revolution caused by digital photography impacts on the way we take pictures.

We are most likely to be surprised nowadays to learn that someone does not have a camera than the contrary, and many newcomers to the art of photography are asking:

How can I take better photos ?

Ansel Adams, well known American photographer, said : “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”

Then, the real question is =>  How to better “make”  a photo?

As an introduction to some basic techniques, I invite you to join me in viewing this video produced by LoganTV in which Logan explains the three fundamental camera settings you absolutely need to know about if you want to increase your photographic skills.

Now time to go experiment with these settings and learn how to “make” better photos!

Talk soon.

Thanks Janice,
For a very useful post. I always find myself in a cat and mouse game with a digital camera. Sometimes I take superb pictures, other times i very quickly delete the blurred images that look so terrible.
Knowing which settings to put is very essential and one of the steps in taking great pictures.
Keep it up!

Merci Yvonne for your good words. Indeed, the most fundamentals camera settings are often overlooked because people have a tendency to set their digital camera on the AUTOMATIC settings, and therefore miss on some great shots.

Tip : when I take a shot that results in being too blurry for the purpose of the picture, I still keep it in a special folder to use it as a background to text , i.e. poetry, greetings, or whatever special “ambiance” I am trying to reach with some text message. ;-)

Have fun taking pictures!
