Beginner Photography Tips

Today we will watch a series of videos that will give you some good tips to remember when you’re taking photographs. You will be responsible for demonstrating the technique used in each video.

For each video, I want you to take a photo of yourself, a classmate, or me doing what the video shows you to do, and in most cases, another photo of what NOT to do. We’ll label those in Lightroom and drop them off.

Video 1: Carrying your Camera

Have someone take a photo of you, or take a photo of someone else carrying a camera INCORRECTLY and a separate photo carrying the camera CORRECTLY.

Video 2: Be Ready to Shoot

Show me how to make sure that you’re ready to shoot so that you don’t miss important photos. What SHOULD YOU DO and WHAT SHOULD YOU NOT DO?

Video 3: Chimping

What is “chimping?” Show me what NOT to do.

Video 4: Diopter

Show me how to adjust your camera’s diopter.

Video 5: Handheld Stability

What should I do to make my photos more stable? What should I NOT do?

Video 6: Stabilize your Camera

Show me at least one of the techniques in this video.

 

Once you have your photos, transfer them to your computer and import them into Lightroom.

Inside Lightroom, open the Window menu or press Control + Alt + 6 to open the Print module.
