Chapter 1 Your Camera

You don't have to worry about the brand of camera you are using.  Whether you are using a DSLR or an ordinary Digital Camera, the secret to taking great pictures is practice!  And of course, this website!

I have an Olympus E-410.  You may have a Nikon or a Canon or even a Sony.  It doesn't matter.  My first tip would be to read the manual first in order for you to understand better the features and capabilities of your camera.  Besides, you will need to customize your camera every so often.  So let's customize your camera.

  1. Liveview, LCD, Viewfinder
  2. When to use LCD and the viewfinder
  3. Saving your pictures
  4. Resolution and file type
  5. Focusing tips
  6. Various camera modes

Pictures play an important role in everyone's lives.  Even before human beings began to write, we tried making cave paintings just trying to "capture" the moment.

Photography used to be a very expensive habit.  But today, thanks to modern technology, everyone can be a photographer.  However, without proper training, not everyone can be a great photographer.  I have always loved photography and, just last year, my sister gave me my very own DSLR!  I haven't stopped taking pictures since then.  You may look at her pictures HERE.  I must admit that she is definitely, infinitely, tremendously better than me.  But hey,  I can provide you with FREE lessons.

Anyway, I have decided to divide this blog into different topics.  Since I am relatively new in the blogging community, you will see constant changes every now and then.

Please do leave your comments and I will try to answer them as soon as I am able to.
