Digital photography is the new way to take photos and offers many conveniences that the old 110 camera just cannot provide. Here are a few tips to enhance your digital photography skills, as explained by ace photographer William Schoellkopf:



Place the subject in the center of the picture. This is the best way to snap the perfect digital image and while it can be difficult, a little positioning will get the subject in center focus.

Avoid any photo with random subjects, such as a waterfall with other tourists standing around taking pictures or that perfect picture of your new pup with someone petting him.

If you are photographing individuals, use the red eye reduction feature. It's a well-known fact that some people's eyes turn red in photographs and others’ do not, but do yourself and those in your photo a favor and use red eye reduction just in case.

Adjust the flash according to the surroundings. If your digital photography project requires a night photo or one taken indoors, flash will be needed. On a sunny day or even if just a few clouds are looming, you may be able to accomplish the perfect digital photography without using flash. .

Use the review feature that most cameras have so you can make sure the image was perfect. This is the best feature of a digital camera. This is because the view screen gives you the opportunity to review photos that are stored on your memory card. If you missed the perfect photo or simply snapped it at the wrong time, there is no wasted film. Simply erase the photo and take another one.
