An Introduction To Digital Photography Techniques

By Phil Jones


To guarantee your pictures are sharp, make sure you know the way to focus your camera. Digicams with auto focus are commonly difficult to focus precisely, especially when shooting tiny objects. Confirm your read your owner's instruction manual and know how your camera's vehicle focus operates. Most digital cameras are designed to easily target huge objects but have problems on tiny objects. It is commonly helpful to put your camera in spot focus mode. Spot focus will give you more control of what part of a scene the camera is basically targeting.

Even the smallest movement while taking a picture will cause motion blur. The closer you get to an object the more obvious the motion blur becomes. Using a cheap tripod will make a significant difference in the sharpness of your pictures. For really sharp pictures it makes sense to take a position in a good, strong tripod. If your camera has a remote shutter release then use it, if not then use the camera's built-in timer to attenuate camera shake.

To get the largest area of your subject in focus, it's good to set your camera in aperture concern mode and set the aperture to the highest number achievable. The closer you get to your subject, the more critical this becomes.

Your camera's built-in flash won't typically give good results for product photography. For soft lighting either shoot outside on an overclouded day or use a light tent like the EZcube, Cubelite, or use a soft box.

Even cheap software like Photoshop Elements or ACDSee can make your product photography way easier. It could appear like it's faster to use an image exactly as it was shot. But in truth, it is difficult to shoot an image precisely how you would like to appear in its final form. Image modifying software permits you to crop an image, adjust it's exposure, sharpen the image and then resize it, regularly in no more than 60 seconds.

The biggest difference between an amateur's product image and a professional's product image are sharpness and lighting. Steps 1,2, and 3 will improve the sharpness of your images while Step 4 will enhance your lighting. A minute spent modifying an image will improve it further. Because these few steps seem so basic, it's captivating to pay no mind to them. However , if you take time to follow them, you'll see a massive improvement in the standard of your pictures.
