First, you need to decide what type of camera is best for you when you first start digital photography. There are many choices, including DSLRs (digital one-lens reflex cameras), point and shoot compact cameras, camcorders, smartphones, and camcorders. Each offers different features and benefits. DSLR cameras, however, are larger and heavier than most other types of cameras. Point-and-shoot cameras tend to be smaller and lighter, and may have automatic settings for specific situations.

How To
How to take pictures in low lighting conditions
Low-light photography means taking photos in dimly lit areas. This requires special equipment and techniques. The main challenges in this field include controlling exposure, whitebalance, and sharpness. Low light photography can be divided into two categories: ambient and flash. Flash photography works best when there's enough light around. You will need a flash if you don't have enough natural light. For example, if your subject is indoors but outside, there might not be enough light to capture a good picture without a flash. Try shooting at night, during the moonlit hours, if you don't need a flash. You will get beautiful shadows and colors. Another option is to capture at twilight. Twilight occurs when there is still daylight but the sun has set.
You may also want to experiment with long exposures. You can record images even after the shutter is closed for several minutes. If the shutter is closed, the camera records only the light that falls onto the sensor. This light continues to fall onto a photo sensor throughout a prolonged exposure. The shutter was not opened, so no new light entered the lens. Therefore, there is very little movement. To ensure a clear image, you should turn off all automatic settings such autofocus or exposure. You should also adjust the ISO setting prior to you start taking photos. An ISO setting of 200 allows you to adjust how bright or dark the image looks. The shutter button should be pressed quickly when you are ready to take the photo. This will cause the shutter to close completely. Next, hold the shutter button down until the end. By holding down the shutter button, you prevent additional light from entering the camera. Once you take the shot, wait a while before you release the shutter. This allows the camera's to process the image. You can view your photos while you wait on the camera. Save them once you are satisfied with them.
