Tips For Beginner Photographers With DSLR Cameras
by Mark Etinger

Purchasing photography equipment for the first time is exciting, but sometimes it is also overwhelming. You're anxious to add interchangeable lenses, tripods, carrying cases, and whatever else you can find into your shopping cart. If you are new to the photography game, there are some easy tips you can follow to get the ball rolling and place you on the path to novice photographer.

First and foremost, try to contain yourself when purchasing a new camera; do not buy the most expensive camera on the market. If money is really tight, you can even get simple compact cameras. As long as you know how to change the settings and know techniques, beautiful shots can still be achieved. But, even if you are upgrading to a DSLR, start off with a lower end model. Before you start adding EF lenses, the first accessory to consider is a tripod, especially if your hands are a little shaky. A tripod will be useful for many different types of photography sessions.

Keep the camera with you all the time; buy a protective carrying case so that may stay safe when it travels with you. Sometimes, the "perfect shot" is an unexpected one and you never want to miss an opportunity. If you cannot take your camera with you every day, be on the look - out for spots around your neighborhood or office that will make for great photographs.

While you are on the hunt for breathtaking scenery, do not overlook the seemingly commonplace subjects. It is amazing what some photographers can do with typically boring subjects. But, do not waste time shooting a plastic bag floating in the wind for twenty minutes. (It's been done.) Try to see these subjects with a new pair of eyes.

Look to online resources for inspiration and tutorials. There are thousands of books and websites that offer terrific advice. Always be willing to learn something new. Whether you want to learn how to photograph weddings or animals, it is easy to search for tips and tutorials.

Never be afraid to experiment with the photography equipment. You splurged on a DSLR camera, you might as well learn what all those buttons and settings do. Tutorials can guide you, but use them as a stepping stone to see what you find comfortable and which settings will give you the shot you desire. Photography is about trial and error. Changing the ISO or aperture can turn a terrible photograph into an amazing one with the push of a button.

The most important tip to remember is to photograph regularly. Practice does make perfect after all!
