Learn to take better pictures with simple video lessons!
Member Educational Gallery
Hello Digital 1 to 1 members, and welcome to our gallery. We encourage everyone to display the images that you’re proud to showcase. We also would love for you to share what video may have influenced your image. However since we believe that the image should do the talking, we removed our “comments” section. So please share in the image’s creation and experience and what you did to achieve it by going to our Forum section and remember to refer to the image you’re sharing, in this gallery. This is how you can help other members learn from your talents, and that’s what Digital 1 to 1 is all about. Photographers helping other photographers!
ALWAYS USE YOUR FLASH OUTDOORS TO FILL IN THE SHADOWS SO THAT THE DARKER TONES WILL LIGHTEN. FIND YOUR FLASH SETTING TO DO THIS VIA MANUAL SETTINGS OR ON PORTRAIT MODE, BECAUSE THE FLASH MAY NOT TURN ON IN AUTO MODE.Watch video
DON’T SHOOT TOO WIDE AND LEAVE EXTRA SPACE AROUND YOUR SUBJECT. USE YOUR ZOOM TO MOVE INTO YOUR IMAGE TO CREATE A BETTER COMPOSITION. Watch video
HAVE A POINT OF VIEW (POV) NEXT TIME WHEN YOU’RE TAKING PICTURES OF YOUR CHILDREN AND PETS. GET DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL. Watch video
MANY TIMES WE TEND TO FRAME OUR IMAGES AS HORIZONTALS. TRY GOING VERTICAL WHEN PHOTOGRAPHING A PORTRAIT. GO WITH THE FLOW OF YOUR SUBJECT. Watch video
PRESSING HALFWAY AND HOLDING YOUR SHUTTER BUTTON IS BEST TO ENSURE THAT YOU ARE “LOCKING IN” YOUR SUBJECT IN FOCUS. THEN RECOMPOSE BY JUST MOVING THE FRAMING AROUND THIS SUBJECT, STILL HOLDING THE BUTTON… THEN SHOOT. Watch video
