Shooting Digital: Pro Tips for Taking Great Pictures with Your Digital Camera

Recently I ran into an old friend who proudly showed me his new digital camera. He’d been serious about his picture-taking, but several years ago his interest waned and he packed away his darkroom equipment and his fancy 35mm SLR. The thrill was simply gone. Now he has rediscovered his love for shooting pictures and he carries his digital camera everywhere. He loves the immediate gratification of seeing his shots displayed on the LCD. He loves not paying for film or processing. Every day he isdelighted to discover something new he can do with his camera. He’s purchased a photo-quality printer and learned some basic software image-processing skills. He’s even sold a few prints and had an exhibit at a local coffee shop.
