basic photography course workshop Singapore.
It is
all about you. You probably own a digital camera now or planning to buy one soon.
You are wondering how to maximize your camera if not overwhelmed by
the features that is not easy to understand.
You have either read the camera
manual (reluctantly ) or having information over-load . In other word, you may be confused and
may feel lost . Worst
still, you may have a holiday coming soon and wanting to capture
those perfect sceneries and family photos to
share your happy moments with others. |
Are you alone ? No. You are not alone.
If you have been using
Automatic mode every time. You have not maximize
the camera features yet. AUTO mode works pretty well when the
situation is ideal ( bright sun light, things are stationary ). But
when lighting is dim and subject is moving you will have an uphill
task in getting satisfactory photos . Picture will turn blur, too
dark, or too bright .
However, if you understand the basics of photography, you can learn how to
solve your problem and create better pictures. Better still, since
your mind is thinking (not the camera ), you will become a better
shooter or what I call a POWER SHOOTER. Once you learn and
understand the basic concept in photography you can control your image.
