Digital Camera Accessories Make A Difference

Digital cameras are great for taking everything from quick snapshots to professional-quality portraits. Put a decent one of these in the hands of someone with an eye for picture taking and the results can be amazing. Even stark amateurs can pull off some pretty incredible shots.

Yet, most digital cameras seem to be lacking something to take them to the next level. With a few well-chosen digital camera accessories, this can be remedied rather quickly it seems.

I found a very informative piece about digital camera accessories on DigitalCameraWiz.com. According to the article, there are some must-have digital camera accessories that any photographer should have. These things include extra memory cards, or “film,” a spare set of batteries and a solid camera bag. Beyond the must-haves, the article goes into the more high-tech digital camera accessories that any serious shooter should consider.

It seems digital camera accessories have come a long way, making many different models about as versatile as old school 35mm models. The main accessories, however, are the ones anyone can benefit from.

As a mother and a big fan of digital camera shooting, the article really helped sort out the options in digital camera accessories. I can speak from experience, too, that the extra “film” and batteries idea is a very smart one. It’s no fun telling a kindergartener you’ve failed to take shots of a school performance because the batteries in your camera went dead!

Black And White Digital Photography Tips

One of my favorite things to do is to play around with my digital camera, looking for that perfect shot. Perhaps the biggest perk I’ve found when it comes to digital photography over regular print film is the ease with which I can switch over to special effects shooting.

Even a relatively inexpensive digital camera will come pre-loaded with lots of great effects options. From sepia tone to soft lighting, a digital camera can do it all at the flick of a switch. My favorite special effects mode to shoot in is black and white.

There’s just something elegant and dramatic about a crisp black and white shot. Portraits look incredible and even landscapes can be eye-popping.

Unfortunately, learning the ropes of black and white digital photography can be tricky. Without color to guide the eye, pictures either come out spectacular or awful.

I came across an article the other day on Digital Camera Wiz.com that really explains what to look for when shooting in this mode. The black and white digital photography tips article has really given me some ideas on what to do to take my shooting to the next level.
