10 Tips for Taking Holiday Photos
Attempting to take holiday photos is almost impossible, only if you're trying to capture perfectly posed photos with everyone in it. It's nearly impossible to get everyone together into a couple of photos.

Leanna DavisPublished 6 years ago in PhotographyTaking Your Own Wedding Photographs
When me and my wife were planning our wedding, one thing we always tried to keep low was cost, whether it was caterers, location, officiants, or accommodation.

Leanna DavisPublished 6 years ago in PhotographyShooting the Moon
Shooting the moon is a really great way for the beginning photographer to practice exposure and really gain a full understanding of how the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) all works together. So, pull out your DSLR tonight and follow this quick, easy-to-understand guide to get an amazing moon photograph regardless of your camera make/model or the lens you have available! When you're thinking about photographing the moon, the first things you should be concerned with are the same as when you are shooting any other subject — the sharpness of the moon (your subject) in your final image, and properly exposing the moon (your subject) so that it doesn't just look like a giant white ball. If you take a test picture with your camera in auto mode you'll see what I mean — because auto mode is exposing for the entire scene you're photographing, the moon will be a bright white ball in the resulting image. You have to use manual mode to photograph the moon and tell your camera how to properly expose for its light so you can see all the amazing detail; this is the power of manual mode!

Abdullah MasoodPublished 6 years ago in Photography3 Basic Photography Settings Every Beginner Photographer Must Know
Every photographer wants to be the best they can be (right?). Holding your precious DSLR camera in your hands for the first time can be an exhilarating and terrifying experience. Think of it like looking at your newborn baby for the first time. I've never had a baby but I imagine it's the equivalent to that feeling. There are so many parts! So many possibilities! Will I break it? Will I embarrass it? Will it starve today? Does it look like me? Will it dis-own me and talk behind my back to their friends? I digress. Just like parenting, getting to know your new baby camera will come slowly but surely. Although, if there's is one quintessential thing that you must know about your camera and how to make it work, it has to be the word E X P O S U R E. (You could also just throw it into automatic mode which is the human equivalent of having it raised by a foreign babysitter but then you will never get to really know your camera baby) so step away from the automatic mode and put it back into manual to have full control over your child.
