10 Digital Camera Tips for the Weekend

The weekend has arrived and its an ideal time to get out and about with your digital camera.

I've just got a Fujifilm FinePix F30 which I'm going to take for a spin. So far it's got some definite improvements over the Fujifilm Finepix F10 (which I raved about) and could be the ideal second camera for those times when I don't want to haul my DSLR around.

Anyway - since it's the weekend and I know many of you are out using your cameras I thought I'd post 10 of the latest digital photography tips from Digital Photography School in the hope that they might be handy as you use your camera. All of them are free, all of them are written for normal digital camera owners and I hope you enjoy them.

10 Digital Camera Tips for the Weekend

1. The Exposure Triangle - Ever want to get out of 'Auto Mode' on your digital camera but didn't know how? This series is for you and examines three elements of exposure in simply language. After the introductory post I continued with posts on ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed. Then we took at look at Aperture and Shutter Priority Modes.
2. Using Wide Angle Lens Distortion Creatively - some people don't like the distortion that short focal lengths bring - I love it!
3. How to Convert Color Images into Black and White ones - a tip for when you get back to your computer with your photos and want to start photoshopping them.
4. RAW vs JPEG - an exploration of these two formats.
5. Mastering Panning - photographing moving subjects using the panning technique.
6. Getting Foregrounds Right - a lot of people talk about how being careful about backgrounds is important but few examine foregrounds - until now.
7. Asking People Permission to Photograph Them - how I go about asking strangers if I can take their photo
8. 10 Tips for Photographing Babies - I had a baby, I took thousands of photos - this is what I learned.
9. Minimalism in Photography - sometimes it's the simplest photos that are the best.
10. How to Photograph Birds - guest photographer, Phillip Kirkham, posted this great tutorial on photographing our feathered friends.
