If there’s ever a good time to own a
camera it surely must be during the
holiday season. Everything about it seems
to present a moment-capturing
opportunity. From relatives seen only
once a year to children playing in fresh
fallen snow, occasions like these seem
made for picture taking.
Gone are the days when taking a
photograph meant knowing which kind
of film you needed and the intricacies of
f-stop and shutter speed, The youngest of
us may not even realize that cameras
today do all the things for the
photographer that she at one time had to
manually do on her own. With the magic
of technology, we are usually able to just
point and shoot. What the camera itself
does not automatically correct, photo
editing programs can. Skin tones can be
made to look healthier, undesirable
backgrounds faded out and makeup
mistakes corrected. Is there any reason
then for bothering to learn a bit more
about your camera?
The answer is yes, a thousand-fold. If
your camera is any fancier than mine, and
themselves, you’ll be able to learn what
your little machine is capable of. Why just
take a satisfactory picture when you can
take one that you’d be proud to enlarge
and frame?
And once you’re familiar with the
technology, why not consult some
literature on the artistry of picture taking.
Just a quick search on Google will bring
up hundreds of sites demonstrating the
ins and outs of capturing the true essence
of the moment. There are still a few weeks
for you to bush up on your new learned
skills.
While you’re at it, make sure you stop
I would be surprised if it wasn’t, I’m sure by your favourite craft supply shop and
it includes a number of functions you pick up some scrapbook-making
weren’t aware of. Take the time to play supplies. Now, that’s a whole new exercise
