Even if you already have photography experience, you can always use some extra advice, and this article is filled with tips that you can you use when taking pictures.
Try to create an impression of depth in your landscape photos. When you place familiar objects in the foreground of the image, you can help viewers to perceive the size and scope of the subject. To gain sharper images, adjust your aperture to a smaller setting; try f/16 for full-frame single lens reflex cameras and f/8 for the more standard digital ones.
Do you want to work with exposure? You need to experiment with shutter speeds. These shutter speeds are indicated by the letters P, A, S and M. Program mode is indicated by the “P”. When you apply this setting it means you camera is fully automatic, so it sets things like shutter speed and aperture for you. If you are less than professional, this is often the best setting.
When shooting people, make sure to emphasize the foreground by blurring the background a little. When everything in the picture is focused including the background, it will make the picture a bit busy and it will be hard for the viewers to specifically focus on the subject of the picture. If you put some distance between your background and your subject, it helps viewers focus on the subject of your photograph.
Always be careful when packing your equipment for a trip. Double check that you have packed any essential items such as lenses, batteries and cleaning tools. Never bring more equipment than you will need, and plan accordingly for convenience of transport.
