Digital Photography Tips

Many of us have or will soon have (:-p) a digital camera. Here are some useful tips that I happen to have come across thanks to lifehack.

Finding Your Picture

Taking a picture does not mean you are forced to use that picture. Often times we overlook the pictures within our picture. Learning how to crop properly will help you to be able to explore your pictures and select the best. You will also learn how to correct your camera angles.
These two pictures are examples of how a person can select just the right part of a picture to make it look that much better.

Getting Closer to Your Subject

Often times we take pictures too far away from the subject. A simple tip is to move in a bit. This will help you capture more of your subject and less of other distractions.
See how in these examples it looks much better closer than at a further distance

Pixels

Too much of a good thing can't hurt right? Well when it comes to pixels this is true. Always use the highest quality settings and try to buy the most pixels you can afford. Memories happen just once, don't miss out just because your trying to save a few bytes of memory for later. One great picture is often worth more than multiple tacky ones.
These pictures below show that 2 similar photos can mean a difference of worlds when you use more pixels.

Take More Pictures

Don't just wait till a certain time to take a picture. Snap lots of pictures on your subjects so that way when you have a large selection to choose from. Often times somebody blinked, sneezed, looked away, or something of the sort which usually detracts from the picture. This is a great reason to take a lot of photos of your subjects.
See how all the other pictures were nice but the one in the center took the cake. Take multiple photos. Sometimes they will also help your viewers understand the subject better as well.
