Hi peeps! *scroll down for another post - Christmas layout*
I have a decent camera - it's not a Rebel or anything but it's decent! Oh ok it's a Kodak Easy Share Z712 IS. It has 12x optical zoom and 7.1 megapixels. This is my baby here
Which is all great and dandy! But if you still know nothing about taking pictures that's not going to get you very far! So over break I thought hmmmm maybe I should learn more about what my camera can do and it's features! It's got ALOT! All I know is whenever my hubby takes a picture he bumps the dial and it turns out blurry! So I was investigating and found I could download my manual and save it on my computer which is GREAT cause I have NO idea where mine is - probably in the box but who knows where that is! So I downloaded it and started reading! WOW! I learned so much just from reading the manual - and I'm not even finished!
Then in my searching I found The Digital Photography School! He has a blog, forum and newsletter! Link to blog HERE. I did lots of reading and printing from this site! It explains things sooooooooo well!
So I guess my tip is - learn what you camera can do! Take pics on different settings and see how it turns out! This is for both photos to use on layouts and when photographing your projects to share! Never stop learning!
