Flash Mishaps:
3 tips to get the most out of your inbuilt flash:
1) Unless you are within 2-3 metres distance of your subject, don’t use it. Just boost your ISO and you will get better results.
2) Slow sync flash is often used in low light situations, where the shutter’s decreased speed means the camera will capture more of the natural light in the shot. This will result in a blurred effect when there is motion in the shot.
3) You can also diffuse or re-direct your flash using scotch tape or a white card above the camera. This is a great DIY technique to add a personalised touch to your photos.

Inspired by the Digital Photography School’s “21 Settings, Techniques and Rules All New Camera Owners Should Know”, I thought it’d be nice to share some of their digital camera functionality tips, along with some of my own, on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Tip #1 – Aperture/Shutter:
Simply put, adjusting the aperture will adjust the focal sharpness of your photo. So, a narrow arperture with a slow shutter speed will increase the sharpness while a wide aperture and fast shutter speed will decrease sharpness – a beautiful technique for singling out a specific object in your photo.
The shutter speed itself can have a dramatic impact the way a moving object is captured – by slowing down the shutter speed; the motion will be more fully captured.
