When starting photography for the first time and some time after, there will be a fairly rapid development whether realized or not. It can be observed from our work / the pictures that have been produced, must be found some improvement from the beginning we take pictures until after some time later. The following tips will help us improve our photography skills more quickly:



1. Change of Vision.

When we are serious with photography then our vision will also change, which will not see the same way again. Every picture we see will be able to tell a story, all the advantages or possibilities it lacks. When viewing the movie we will also observe what technique is used so that the video looks so interesting. Hunting for good pictures can change our lifestyle, like getting up early to get a sunrise where the sky will appear rich in color which is a special moment in photography. We will also be familiar with analyzing a photo, from where the light comes and which angle to use.
2. It Is an Expensive Hobby.

Photography is an expensive pastime, first camera purchase then lens, tripod, flash, as well as other accessories worth thousands of dollars. This is certainly different from pocket camera / pocket, camera phone. The lens is the next accessory we will buy, because no lens is suitable for all situations. For example portrait photography is recommended using fast lenses with wide aperture openings, eg f / 1.4, for landscape using wide-angle lens, as well as for sport and wildlife using tele / super tele valuable lenses in such expensive.

3. Use manual mode.

Manual mode is an unlimited creative mode. Unlike the auto settings, which certainly makes no difference compared to using a pocket camera, manual mode allows us to replace the shutter speed, aperture and ISO with as they pleased. All three are determinants of the amount of light entering the sensor or commonly called triangle exposure. Semi-manual mode is also very commonly used such as auto aperture and auto shutter speed that helps us in certain situations such as landscape photography that usually prioritizes shutter speed, or portrait photography that usually prioritizes aperture opening.

4. Take The Time.

Without taking the time, we will not be able to improve our photography skills. Try every day to operate the camera and take pictures. Lots of challenge on the internet that can be followed and put into practice. A day through the operation of the camera will be very unfortunate.


5. Ignore F stop.

F stop is a mathematical count for exposure. Trying to remember the number f stop, summing it up or trying to formulate it is a waste of time that is basically not very necessary. More importantly we learn about the exposure triangle, how the three will be related and affect each other. Again do not worry about Fstop calculations, but focus on balancing lighting, and many other things you can learn like light, background and subject poses.

6. Priority lenses.
Do not be confused in buying lenses. One of the most important lenses that are widely used and can be used in many conditions, including low light or fast moving subjects is not a broom lens, but prime lens with wide aperture openings, such as a 50 mm f / 1.8 or f / 1.4 canon lens. The lens in addition to small size is also able to produce so that the picture is more focused and artistic. Another thing if we are more professional and choose a particular path eg wildlife photography which of course need to use long focal length like 500 mm.

7. Use a Tripod.

Tripod is the main accessory in photography. DSLR cameras allow the use of a slow shutter speed so it is necessary to use a tripod to avoid blur. In low light conditions such as night, especially for landscape photography tripod become a mandatory accessory to get sharp images. Tripod also serves to support the camera, because it is quite heavy when we always hold a DSLR camera in a shooting session. Another function is for selfie, where we can use the timer / commonly called self portrait.

8. Lots of Reading About Photography.

These words are not only in school, but they are needed to improve photography skills. Internet becomes a cheap and easy media in getting the source of knowledge.

9. Knowing Various Compositions.

The composition is similar to the formula to produce a good image. Call it the composition of the rule of third, the rule of space, negative space, odd composition, triangle composition etc are many more.
10. Editing.

Editing is a final touch to an image. Whether it's just cropping or changing exposure, editing is necessary. 2 most common software and we need to master is adobe Photoshop for editing and adobe premiere for file management as well as doing minor editing.
