Oops, something went wrong!

Send us Fan MailHello again,  This is for you if you can't quite get the results you're looking for. I'm sure that we've all had the experience of thinking we've just created a great photograph, only to find that the result isn't what we'd hoped for. This can be very frustrating, especially if it's something that happens often.  For me, photography is a subject that I am continuously learning about. I get inspired by other people and apply their ideas to my work. However, it's impossible to do that if you don't understand the basics of photography. So, if this is you and you don't want to invest in a course right now (and I recommend that you do if you want to realise everything that photography has to offer for you!), these are some areas to consider:  Light/Exposure: Photography is all about light and a photograph that is either under, or overexposed, is not going to be what you want. This equally applies if the part of the photograph of the greatest interest to you is wrongly exposed.  Focus: It's important to understand your AF system, and how it is deciding what it needs to focus on. If your AF is wrongly set up, you will struggle to get your subject consistently in focus. You might even want to consider using back-button focus.  Shutter speed: A common cause of out-of-focus photographs, understanding shutter speed means that you can introduce, or eliminate, movement in your photograph at will.  Composition: Siting your subject dead-centre in your photograph every time gets very boring very quickly. Using composition techniques, such as the rule of thirds, opens the door to more interesting photographs.  You can learn about all of these techniques, and more, through my online photography course. Please take a look, or share with someone who would like to be a more confident photographer. It's time for another podcast...
