*13 Lessons to teach your child about photography..

After reveiwing the 13 steps, I found that all of them are needed in taking digital photos. But, there were a few steps that stuck out the most. First of all, the first two steps of experimenting and checking your background are important. Great photos aren't just going to be the first ones you take, so you need to reveiw all the pictures you've taken. Also, the background is important. It may be the first thing that catches the veiwers' eye, if its something like a horizon, or sunset, so it needs to look good and not contrast the main veiw. Next, in the third and fourth step, it shows you how to hold your camera. In instances as making a panorama, you need to have a steady hand in holding the camera. A sudden movement could affect the way pictures match together. The eight and ninth steps cover points of interest and rule of thirds which are important tactics in digital photography. Finally, the twelth and thirteenth rules on different modes and exposure settings are also important. The photographer needs to know what setting to use for each picture. Not every shot should have the same setting. The setting of a picture can make or break it! After reveiwing these steps, it definately increased my knowledge of how to make great pictures!! This site was very helpful.
