To make the most of your digital camera, no matter if it is a basic model or bordering on the professional, check out a local community college for a digital photography class.

Don't be afraid to set up your camera at a stream one day and play around with the effects to see what kind of photos you get. It can be a great way to learn what works, and what doesn't.

Many digital cameras nowadays actually have a setting for red eye reduction. One of the worst things that can happen to a good picture is the subject will have red eye, ruining an otherwise perfect picture. If you have a setting, turn that setting on first, then snap your shot, and presto, no red eye!

If you're taking pictures of landscapes, you will want to create depth and perspective for the viewer. An object in the foreground of your shot can create the illusion of depth by providing scale. Setting a small aperture, no greater than f/8 with most consumer digital cameras or f/16 with a full-frame SLR, will provide sharpness to both the foreground and background.

So as you can see, photography is not as complicated as it may appear. It is involved in terms of research and practicing taking pictures, but it is worth it in the end. With the above tips in mind, you should be smarter when it comes to taking great photos.
