Introduction to Photography Basics
Anyone looking for a creative, relaxing hobby is sure to enjoy the artistic outlet of photography. This article will guide you through the basics of this favorite pastime, allowing you to share your vision with friends, family and photography lovers everywhere. Let's get started with the most frequently asked question; what is Photography?
What is the definition of photography?
Strictly speaking, photography is the process of producing a still picture by recording light radiation. If were being generous we could say that photography has been around since the early 1800s, but in terms of it being something open to the average person to get involved in, the agreed-on date is more likely to be 1900 " the year in which Kodak introduced the $1 Brownie camera.
Most will agree that photography is in fact an art form. Capturing the vision of a still picture requires a creative eye. However, photography does differ from traditional art forms such as drawing or painting in that it depends upon technical knowledge. It is very rare to come across a professional photographer who is not intimately familiar with the technical aspects of photography.
What is the best camera for a beginning photographer?
The simplest answer to this question would be "any" type of camera. Every model of camera is able to capture interesting and creative pictures. However, any aficionado would agree that a good SLR camera is the best way to begin your new found hobby. In addition, it is important to choose a camera that is comfortable and easy to use. If you have the ambition as well as the money, the best way to get started in recording your artistic vision is to purchase a digital SLR camera.
What are the best ways to implement improvements in my photography technique?
Unsurprisingly, getting better at photography involves a lot of trial and error. While digital photography makes trial and error a much better strategy than it used to be by massively reducing the cost of taking a photo, there's still no need to do this blindly. Reading about photography in books, magazines and online is also a useful way to improve, as is looking at a lot of photographs taken by other people. You'll quickly learn that people generally agree on a set of rules that produce pleasing photography, and while eventually you'll break these rules to good effect, there's no question that its worth learning them first. - 2361
