Welcome
Welcome to the world of photography! SLR Photography Tips was expressly designed to help you make better pictures.
Photography is probably the most accessible and rewarding of all forms of art. Taking exciting photographs has very little to do with buying an expensive camera or having a massive array of photography equipment. What is crucial is how you see a chosen subject – and then how this vision is transformed into a permanent image using photographic techniques and composition. It is this creative process that turns the mediocre snapshot into a breathtaking picture.
SLR Photography Tips will help you understand the differences in what you see and how the camera sees the same scene. It will help you master the art of exposure when even the most sophisticated metering system cannot cope. It explains in depth the essential accessories you should purchase that will enable you to take your photography beyond that of the mere snap. But above all, we explain fully the art of composition – the crucial function that no matter how many devices your camera might have built in, it will never be able to do this automatically. Whether you are shooting on conventional film or using the latest digital technology, you will find a wealth of techniques explained in an easy to follow format.
SLR Photography Tips is a comprehensive manual to the creative and technical skills that are needed to take pictures of practically any subject. Unlike many other websites on photography, SLR Photography Tips has in depth sections on the equipment and technology. Although using a particular type of camera or lens cannot guarantee better pictures, the equipment that you use pits limitation on the way you can tackle a subject.
Remember, cameras are only a tool for recording the way we see a subject. In as much as they do not think like we do and need help to interpret our view of the world, we will help you to get the very best from your equipment and allow you to produce pictures that people will want to look at again and again.
