Digital Photography - Ideas for Experimentation

Turn Your Digital Camera

SUMMARY: Sometimes a slight change can result in much better photos from your digital camera!

This one is simple, but if you don't think about it, you'll be surprised about what you've been missing!

Want to take pictures of tall statues, buildings, trees, or other tall structures, yet you can't seem to get the whole subject in the picture? Turn your digital camera 90 degrees to the side, then focus on your subject and snap the image.

Voila! Suddenly those tall items that couldn't fit in the digital camera's viewfinder before may fit perfectly now. And don't stop with turning your digital camera 90 degrees - experiment with other orientations!
