Hi, I've just entered the world of photography literally yesterday. I am still one of those point and shoot, automatic settings kind of person. Would anyone like to critique and give a few tips? Please and thank you.
1. Macro setting=Your new best friend.
2. Give it time.
I started my project, the only thing I knew, was how to use the macro setting. I'm a bit dyslexic, so I thought for the longest time it was marco. I've done a photo a day for almost 90 days now. It's weird how you pick up little tricks.
365 is an experiment. Try different settings on your camera every day. See what comes of it. My most recent discovery is exposure. (The button will look something like this: +/-) I'll let you figure out what that does.
There's a lot you can do with P&Ss. I know it's no direct help, but it's art. There is nothing direct about art! :P Good luck.
@frontporchview@mjkthorpe Very good advice! I couldn't have said it better myself!
Seriously, get your camera off of auto. And take photos every chance you get!!
yep,try and take it off auto,play with the settings and experiment,it doesn't matter if you take a load of rubbish, you can delete it and start again,before 365 i tried to make notes of which settings i had used to achieve a picture i liked, now all that info is given in the info on here so i can try and recreate an image by looking back at that
