Everyone can take a picture, but the key is knowing how to utilize various functions to take a better picture.

The first thing you need to know is that your camera is made up of many parts, these are just the main ones :

  • The body is the housing for your camera. While it has little effect on the quality of your photos, it does affect things like ease of use.

  • The lens is the eye of the camera. Different lenses can provide many different features, so it's important to know the differences between them.

  • The battery is very important if you like to photograph nature and wildlife.

  • The sensor is basically the digital equivalent of film. The sensor is exposed to light that comes through the lens and it records that exposure. The exposure is then processed and saved to flash memory. The caliber and size of the sensor are very important because they impact the quality of your photos.

  • The flash card is where you save your images.

For our first lesson I won't get into how every part of the camera works but into the basics of how to take a good photo.

There are several rules for taking a good picture. We will talk about three rules that will help you produce noticeably better photos using digital cameras.

  • First, fill the frame with your subject. Especially when you are taking a picture of people, it is better to focus on the subject. You don’t need to take a picture of the whole body. Stand close to your subject or use the zoom function of your camera.

  • Second, change your camera position. Even though it is the same subject, you can get a more unique photo depending on your camera position or angle.

  • Third, use the rule of thirds. Golden Section, which is also called golden ratio, is the most important rule for any artists or architects. This proportional relationship asserts a natural balance and dynamic symmetry. A popular guideline used by photographers is called the “Rule of thirds.”When composing a photo, you should try to place important elements at the crossing point that the imaginary lines dividing the image into three parts both horizontally and vertically are meeting.
