Some great Photography Techniques, Tips, Tutorials, and Resources – Part 1

Photography August 16, 2008 by Sravan Kumar Kandagatla

For all of us, certain moments are precious in our life. They might pertain to birthdays, excursions, or kids; each one is unique and needs to be cherished! Photographs have emerged as a means to capture and record such precious moments.

Their evolution from print to digital has made them even more sought after! Now, any individual having a digital camera can click photos. But the question that arises is how to click photos for different and specific moments?

To throw more light on the above question, if you wish to shoot a landscape or scenery, how would you click and edit the snaps as compared to shooting in a moving bus or a car? How would you click and edit the photos of your family get-together or your baby’s first steps?

Even though you might have a professional camera in hand but it so happens that many of you might fail to take the best photograph or even grab the shot which you are really thinking about. But before you start with the camera, how many really read the instruction manual? Very few to be candid! :) Everyone has a desire to take a good photograph of their own event, party, occasion, etc. The same happens to me every time I try to click a snap in a professional manner! I fail even after taking the same shot again and again. Well, I guess it could be because of lack of knowledge of basic photography techniques, tips, etc. So this made me curious and I started scrolling through the web for best and professional photography techniques, tips, tutorials, etc and came up with the following set of Photography Techniques, Tips, Tutorials, Sites, Blogs and a set of Resources to help u become a professional with your camera in a simple and easy way !.. Note:

 

These photographs are picked from the respective sites, the ownership of the photographs are with the actual photographer and the site owners.
