Well photography has become, one of the best way to express your mood and likes to your work. It can be anything from taking pic of your loved once or aplace you travelled to etc.
Many pople have asked me on how to learn the basic of photography so that they can take their hoddy/profession to nect level.
Step 1: Inspiration
Visit one of my favourite site http://500px.com and explore the beautiful photo gallary. On most of the pic if you click on the details you can see the camera setting, ISO and WB etc used, so that you can learn these pro setting to experiment with your DSLR camera.
Step 2: Choose a basic good DSLR camera with manual control.
Well i'm a Canon fan and i love using it over Nikon, One of the good camera i would suggest is a Canon 550 with 18-55 Kit lens and maybe a Nifty Fifty lens "50mm 1.8 prime lense.
Step 3: Go out explore the nature/city or any place and take as much as pic you can which you find interesting in either AV/TV or M mode never take anything in Auto. If your an Auto lover then this post is not for you.
Step 4: In AV/TV mode you can play around with ISO and Aperture.
Step 5: Alanise your picture and see where you want to correct the errors. It can be sometime too much brightness or exposure, white balance etc.
Step 6: One your done with Step 5, Repet step 3 and in a week or two you will be good enough to take good looking pictures.
