Carnival of Digital Cameras and Photography is a weekly round-up of all the latest news, trends, digital camera reviews, top blogs, photography tips and professional advice.
So you've got a brand new digital camera.
Now you just want to take some brilliant photos with it. So how do you go about doing that?
This carnvial post will point you to information that will help you maximize the use of your digital camera, find inspiration and learn new (and sometimes odd) techniques for manipulating your digital photos.
Practice - there are three keys to taking good photos: know what you like to photograph, have your camera ready to take photos, and practice, practice, practice. This article sums up all three nicely and tells you how to get the most from your digital camera.
Learn From Others - while practice is an essential component to taking great photos with your digital camera, it also helps to look at the work of others. I am constantly on the search for inspiration and this week I found it at the web site of Mark Tucker. Check it out for some truly impressive photography.
Experiment - if you find yourself getting into a photographic rut, the best thing to do is play around. You can toss your camera in the air while taking long exposures, try taking shots from odd angles, or (if you're really feeling ambitious) you can take your digital photos of landscapes and make every shot look like it's a miniature model.
