Please give me some Tips on Photography !!?
Ive got immense of interst in photography and ive been just clicking pix with a sony DSC T30 camera and edit a little to get the proper lighting and The professional touch! But i cant do some techniques like zooming and blurring the adjacent objects and various other stuff! so i miss out on loads of beautifull things. Before i move on to buy a expensive professional digi cam thats suitable. I wanna know how else can i improvise on this? I have heard about photo journals and all that. But ive taken up photography just as a serious hobby since im doing engineering. And im still not convienced to appear for competitions, though my friends think my pix are good enough! I just dont want it to be something like a amateur's snap shots when it comes to a competition! I just wanna be a lil professional atleast. so i just need a clear idea on a step by step improvisation! Please come fwd to help me !!
1. Read the manual for your current camera and learn as much as you can about your camera's capabilities. Read each section and practice the features until you know that function inside and out. There is no point on your upgrading to more complex equipment if you're not going to learn to use THAT either. You may find that you don't NEED to upgrade just yet as you can take very fine images with the one you've got.
2. Just find a basic, beginner's digital photography book to learn about techniques to deal with specific and difficult situations and how to acheive some of those effects you write about. For example, "proper lighting" and "The professional touch" shouldn't be acheived by editing, but rather, in the camera at the time of the shoot. Just what you wrote, here, indicates how important my first suggestion is.
In my opinion, just going through these first two, basic steps, will improve your photography a great deal. You really can't KNOW what kind of upgraded camera you need to purchase until you know the basics of digital photography. Otherwise you might end up spending a lot of money for features and functions you don't even use. It could be like somebody spending a few hundred thousand dollars on a high performance sports car, only to use it for fetching groceries.
