Essential Photography Tips

Essential Photography Tips is mainly intended for fresh DSLR owners who are looking to enhance their photographic skills. Most of the tips presented in this book can be easily adopted by a mirrorless camera owner too. We will start by diving into composition. This is what matters most, composition rules should become a habit, and you have to be able to apply them without judging too much. We will then continue with a series of How to" topics: How to shoot a portrait", How to shoot a landscape" and so on. Next we have some DO's and DON'Ts. Among them are Do not be afraid to go out on a cold day" and Embrace the fog". In the end we are covering tips on camera usage, general framework, post-production, and recommended accessories. Now let's get to work and remember: no matter how much you read, it's worthless if you don't practice. Go out and practice! Actually, we have a chapter dedicated to this, so move on :-)This is the first book of "Essential Photography Tips" series.

It doesn't matter where you're heading to. For a travel photographer the process is the same even if the destination is the Moon. Yes, there are small changes, mostly logistics (you may need a passport and a visa or you may only need your national ID, you'll drive or you'll fly renting then a car in location, you may need a spacesuit or you can only take your casual clothes). But in any case you will need a camera, you will need a lens, you will need a memory card, you will need a bag. And you will need a ton of other things that we will discuss in depth in the book.
