Creative Photography The Complete Manual Magazine Winter 2023 Zurück Ausgabe

At its simplest level, taking a picture is done to record an event or capture a memory; taking a selfie, or a snap of loved ones on holiday, perhaps. This is how most of us have been introduced to photography. Our camera phones have become our first point of contact with the world of photography and, for many, it can lead on to more creative pastures with the purchase of a more advanced device such as a Compact System Camera or a DSLR. At this point, photography can seem quite daunting; especially for beginners. There appears to be a lot of technical knowledge that must be learnt, terms that need to be understood, even mathematics that have to be worked out. The more you uncover about it, the less you
seem to know. Don’t worry, photography is not nearly as complex and intimidating as you might think. Sure there are technical aspects, but with the help of this guide we hope to give you a solid grounding in all you need to know to use your camera with confidence and use it creatively.
