Nowadays, Photography is a familiar term. For me it is harder than marketing, web design or writing an article. Point out your camera towards a beautiful thing and push a button is not a difficult task. But the difficult task is the photos you have taken match your dream or not.

Daily, I see a lot photos in the website, Magazine and papers. Some attracts me and some not. If I calculate, above 100 photos 90 percent of them don’t attract me. Because it does not match my dream. So, photography is not a joke. It is hard to attract people eyes.

If you want to learn the photography, you have to learn it in a correct way. Every year millions of people try to learn photography. But, they are stuck with beginning process. Because they really don’t know how to start and where to start. These beginner photography tips will help you to start your photography life.

Try to change the perspective:

During photography learning, you are supposed to be told catch photos in the normal viewpoint. The meaning of normal viewpoint is the way we look every day. It is not a hard task. Just you have to catch a photo where you stand from.

Generally, it becomes boring, tired and ordinary. Because everybody catch photo from that angle. Sometimes, you need to change the perspective of your look. Try different things. Try to catch photos from different angle and distance. As instance, go near the subject to catch a close shot. Get down or up or skewed to catch a photo. It helps to catch a unique photo.

Learn post processing skills:

Image post processing is very important. Post processing does not mean to change the original photo using highly rated effects or filters. Most photographers who love natural photos don’t like it. But, it is very demanding and necessary.

It is good to thought about the natural photos. But, post processing can be natural and subtle too. Sometimes, it is not possible to catch good photos with digital cameras. Because, your physical limitation block you to catch good photos. Some post processing skills are good to learn in the beginning of the photography. Like,

• Clipping path
• Image Masking
• Neck joint
• Retouching
• Manipulation
• Color correction

Importance of the exposure:

The exposure is one of the important things of photography. Basically, photography is all about capturing and manipulation light. Light is the main point of capturing photos. In order to take a good photo, you must learn the exposure triangle. The exposure triangles are ISO, shutter speed and aperture.

Learn the composition:

Composition is the heart of a good photo. A professional photographer easily understands which photos are captured by amateur or not. They are not looking for the beauty but the composition of the photos. The amateurs don’t understand the composition and that is the main difference between a good photographer and them.

Gear does matter:

Your gear is the ultimate weapon. A good photographer can capture photo with normal cameras but amateur photographer can’t do it with professional cameras. It does not mean that the camera has problems. So, don’t blame your equipment. It is your quality and skill that helps to capture good photos.

If you are doing photography as a hobby, it is good for you. It is one thing that gives joy and fun. But, if you are pursuing a career, then I might say you have to work hard. I am not saying that it is difficult. But it requires time, patience and passion.
