Digital Photography Tips - Choosing the Right Lighting

Regardless of how great a digital camera you have, there isn't too much that you can do about poor lighting unless you know what you're doing. I will tell you a few lighting tips that will boost your digital photography skills to the next level. To get your digital photos just right in poor lighting conditions, you need to learn how to place your subject just right. If you are using artificial lighting, you don't want to put the light directly behind your subject as this will cause glare in your photos. You should have your lighting either directly behind you, the photographer, or to the sides and ahead of your subject.

A lighter colored backdrop is the best choice when choosing a backdrop to use. Dark colored drops absorb most of your light, and when you're fighting for light you don't want anything absorbing it. White is the best choice, but any other light colored drop is fine. The simplest white backdrop can be achieved by using a white sheet taped to a wall behind your subject.

Be aware of shadows that may creep their way in to your photos. If your lighting is too low, your photo may come out to dark and you won't see your subject. Be aware that an image that you may see in your LCD screen is normally brighter than your picture when it comes out. This is why it's important to test various lighting and positions. When you're using a digital camera, you can snap as many pictures as you want to, if your memory card fills up, just delete some pictures and keep going. You don't have to worry about film and developing numerous rolls of film, so go shutter finger crazy.

These are a few things that can improve your lighting in your pictures.
