How to Take Good Photos Indoors

In photography, good lighting is very important in capturing images. It’s no surprise why a beginner would struggle when it’s a challenge for even the seasoned photographer to produce good shots indoors. Not only is the amount of light reduced but the quality, temperature, and position of the light source really comes into play as well. So, if you’ve ever struggled with blurry, yellowish or dimly lit indoor photos, here are some tips for you:

When taking snaps indoors, it is important to settle on one light source. The combination of natural and artificial light can cause photos to be blurry, hazy or yellowish. If you really need to include an additional light source, like a lamp or a ceiling fixture, remember to adjust your camera’s white balance.

Unfortunately, your pop-up flash will only fall flat, creating undesirable hot spots and flattening the depth of the photo. On the other hand, external flashes provide the kind of versatility that allows light to be scattered evenly about the room, bringing a more natural feel. When an external flash is not available, utilising ambient light is the next best thing.

 Being aware of not only the quantity but the quality and direction of the light available indoors is the best way to guarantee a good shot. Photography is fun. Get creative. Purchase your own camera now! Enjoy shopping for digital cameras at SLRHut.

Keep It Good as New

Congratulations, you’ve got your new digital SLR camera. Now what? Well, while people may be sharing their wisdom on how to use it properly, don’t forget about the proper care and protection of it. Needless to say, a digital SLR camera is a valuable device that requires maintenance. Your actions, how you carry and handle it, are important. Here are a few tips:

 

Dust, sand, and water may cause problems for your device. Make sure to keep your camera away from these elements. Consumer or entry level models are more likely to be affected by these problems. Avoid leaving your camera anywhere--including your camera bag--for long periods of time without the lens or the body cap attached to it; otherwise, you risk damage to the sensor or lens. 

The body and the lens will eventually accumulate dust. Clean them with a blower or a microfiber cloth. Never rub the lenses. If you need to, try using a hand-held blower then gently wipe away the remaining dirt. Always remember not to remove the lens from your camera’s body in a polluted environment. Change it quickly with the camera lens mount facing down.

 

Taking good care of your camera can maintain its high performance for a long time. Now, go around and enjoy using your new camera. Capture beautiful moments, and if ever you need to upgrade, SLRHut has the digital cameras with the best deals.
