How Understanding Your DSLR Translates To Better Photographs

Developing a more in depth relationship with your digital camera will ultimately allow you to think in very practical terms when forming your own unique photography style. Before we move on to framing and lighting techniques, we must know how manipulating the manual settings will bring out the features and aspects of a shot that we find most interesting. When we imagine a photograph of an animal, or bride or what ever it is we want to shoot, we should always have an idea of what exactly we are trying to capture in that moment.

Once we get a feel for the type of shot and the feeling or mood we want to portray, we must know how to highlight the element in a way that draws the viewer in , while expressing our artistic ideas of the shot. Not knowing how to manipulate our dslr's settings properly is like a painter that is stuck using 2 colors and a single brush - there is just no way to convey more in depth moods and aspects without using all of the tools available to us.
