 * Take more Effective and Interesting Photographs**

Are you someone who takes alot of snapshots? You know, one of those peop.e who take pictures of everything just because you have a camera in your purse or pocket. Ever want to have professional looking pictures without the hassel of using Windowsd Paint or Photoshop? Well you have two options...Buy an expensive camera or learn to take better pictures. I can help you with both.

Let's start with the camera. I highly recomend buying a Nikon for digital photography. The Nikon D5000 is one of the best in both price and performance. With this camera you can take a picture of anything and not screw it up. With the D5000's "SCENE" feature you can pick exactly what you taking a picture of and the camrea will automatically adujust the apeture and sutter speed to the correct setting. Triming and toning can also be done directly from the camera on the spot. Into sports? This camera will take 4 shots per second in 12.3 MP quality. The Nikon D5000 also shoots movies, and has an HDMI port for that High Def Television. With Multiple lenses, a rotating monitor for persision hard angle photos, numerous manual settings and editing options, this camera is so easy to operate "a caveman can do it". And you get all of this for less than $800. Granted it won't fit in your pocket, but the picture quality is worth it.



Now its time to explain how to take better pictures. Get Closer!!!! Frame the subject in the veiw finder or screen. Don't use the flash in well lit areas, avoid artifficial light esspecially floresent. Know how your camera works, ie how long it takes to prime the flash or if a light blinks before a picture is taken. Candid shots look better that forced poses, don't take someones picture if they don't want it taken. Drinking and taking pictures is as bad as driving. The pictures get blurry, the dredded red eye effect starts, and eventually you'll get your friend in trouble with a photo that wasn't supposed to be takenb in the first place. But the best advise I can give is...take a class! The classes are not expensive, you learn a great deal about your camera and how to take effective shots. The best part is that now most camera stores will give you free classes when you buy a camera. (note I said camera stores not retailers) Photography is an enjoyable experience if you tale your time, and think about what your doing. Happy shooting!
