			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Photography is a beautiful art&#8230; simple in all its complexities and breathtaking in the results it produces. From preserving those priceless moments with your loved ones to creating exquisite works of art, the applications of photography are many. Once confined to bulky, expensive cameras and yards of film, photography has seen a new dawn with the advent of digital cameras. Swifter, a lot easier to use, and growing ever more compact with every passing day, digital cameras have indeed opened several avenues to the casual photographer as well as the seasoned expert. And now that you&#8217;ve decided to take the plunge with the digital brigade, your very first concern is choosing the best camera to suit your needs.</p>
<p>The multitude of models and makes that swarm the marketplace definitely don&#8217;t make your choice any easier so how do you decide which camera is the best for you? To start with, you first need to understand that every make of digital cameras is developed to cater to a certain set of needs. Hence, in order to determine which camera you need to buy, you first need to establish the purpose you&#8217;re going to use it for. A high speed camera which is developed in keeping with the interests of sports photographers will certainly not be a viable option for you, if all you&#8217;re going to use it for is the odd vacation photograph. Also, if you&#8217;re looking for more minute detailing in your photographs as well as a higher resolution, then the sleeker options that you find may not completely cater to your needs. This is because a majority of these models have been developed to ensure portability, and many include little more than the basic features.</p>
<p>Your second step would be to understand the world of digital photography. This would include familiarizing yourself with the most commonly used photography terms. For instance, you would need to know that an LCD is a screen attached to most cameras in addition to the viewfinder. This screen allows you to view your image before and immediately after you capture it, allowing to fine tune your focus and even re-capture the image if need be. However, several cameras are equipped only with the viewfinder, thus compelling you to hold the camera at an arm&#8217;s length while capturing the photograph. As one of the key requirements to a clear photograph is a steady and sure hand, without your face to rest the camera on, your image is at a higher risk of being distorted.</p>
<p>You must also learn to distinguish between an optical zoom and a digital zoom. An optical zoom functions like traditional cameras, magnifying the image you are shooting. A digital zoom enlarges the final image by doubling the size of the pixels, which may also lead to fuzzier images. Digital images are comprised of mega pixels which in turn determine the quality of the image. The higher the number of mega pixels, the clearer the image. You may also want to check if your camera comes along with a stand which is invaluable in ensuring a steady and clear picture.</p>
<p>Once you gather this basic information, you can then start looking around for models which catch your eye. Start making a shortlist, comparing and contrasting the different makes and strike those off that do not meet your budget or requirements or both! At this stage, you can also start referring to photography journals and magazines for expert reviews and advice, which will also enable you to learn about first hand experiences with some of the relatively unknown models, you may come across.</p>
<p>If you aren&#8217;t too comfortable with the notion of parting with your reliable old bulky camera, expense of film notwithstanding, but would still like the clarity that digital images offer, you can scan digital versions of your existing photographs and have them retouched with editing software or opt for an online photo service which will convert your film into digital reality. You can even use photo services to edit your photographs for minor glitches like red eye removal and adjusting the brightness and color.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shooting with a camera and adjusting the settings manually can be an intimidating task to the new photographer. Most veteran photographers will no doubt remember the first roll of film they ruined by reading the light wrong or the photos they missed by having a closed lens cap. As a photographer, our job is to be the conductor of a symphony of moving components, gently influencing each element to ensure that the end result is more than just the sum of the parts.</p>
<p> Without understanding each element of photography, it&#8217;s impossible to know how they relate as a whole. So let’s begin our trip into the inner-workings of photographs with one of the most unfamiliar topics:  Aperture.</p>
<p> <strong>Defining Aperture</strong><br /> Aperture is simply what controls the amount of light exposed on the film or your digital camera&#8217;s sensor. It can be opened and closed using the camera&#8217;s f-stop, which is usually a ring located around the lens between the focus ring and the body of the camera. If you&#8217;ve ever looked into someone&#8217;s eye as light was shone into it and watched the pupil get smaller, this is how the aperture works too.</p>
<p> Most cameras have an F-Stop range of 1.7 or 2.0 to 22 or so; the range of values usually increases with the quality and cost of the camera. You can see your camera&#8217;s range by looking at the numbers around your lens. Lower F-Stops are more open and expose the film to more light, while high F-Stops close the aperture and shut the light out.</p>
<p> <strong>How Aperture Impacts Images</strong><br /> Using your F-Stop to purposefully manipulate the camera&#8217;s aperture will allow you to change the depth of field in your photographs. If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with the term &#8220;depth of field&#8221; it describes how much of your picture is sharp and how much is blurry. Aperture directly affects the amount of time a frame is exposed. And, the more time the film has to absorb light, the more clarity and depth will come through the final image.</p>
<p> For example, if you were to take a picture of a line of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.yourpictureframes.com/categories/Vintage-Picture-Frames/">old fashioned vintage picture frames</a> from one end using a low F Stop number (an open aperture) you would likely see one or two frames clearly and the other frames as blurry. Open apertures create a very shallow depth of field. If you were to then take the same photograph with a high F-Stop (a closed aperture), you would see many more <a target="_blank" href="http://www.yourpictureframes.com/categories/Antique-Picture-Frames/">antique picture frames</a> clearly down the line and get a much greater sense of how far away they might be.</p>
<p> <strong>Fun Aperture Experiments</strong><br /> Once you know how it works, playing with your camera&#8217;s aperture can be a lot of fun.  Here’s a couple of ideas to try the next time you’re out shooting and you want to test it out:</p>
<ul>
<li>Take every photograph twice – once at a high F-Stop, and once at a low F-Stop.</li>
<li>Challenge yourself to shoot an entire roll at one F-Stop, then switch it up.</li>
<li>Put your camera on full manual and adjust the F-Stop on the fly to adjust for light</li>
</ul>
<p>Don’t forget to adjust the shutter speed of your camera to allow for more or less light (faster speeds for more light, slower speeds for less), or you may end up with overexposed or underexposed images. Many digital cameras have a fantastic option called &#8220;aperture priority mode&#8221; which lets you choose an F Stop and will then adjust the shutter speed automatically. It is worth noting that the best conditions for experimenting with aperture are cloudy or overcast days. When faced with bright or low light, your options for F-Stop values will become limited.</p>
<p> Of course, the very best way to improve your photography is to take lots of pictures. Now it&#8217;s time to get out there and have fun taking and displaying them on your <a target="_blank" href="http://www.yourpictureframes.com">picture frame</a> wall!</p>
