Here’s the next digital camera tip as a follow-up on our first ‘picture perfect’ post -

Tip #2 – Automatic Exposure Bracketing (AEB):

If you are trying to get the perfect exposure in a photograph, most digital photographers will take their time, change the settings a few times and review after. But with a changing environment, the AEB is a very useful setting – this automatically takes 3 photos in 3 different exposures so you can choose a keeper.

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.
