Got a Camera for Christmas?
Then FStoppers have compiled a great overview about the absolute basics that help you control your camera and take great pictures. From reading the manual to understand how use the camera to focussing on the subjects that you are interested the most in – they cover the first approaches in this new field.
They also drop the most important advice at the end.
“Go out and Shoot”
Don’t get lost in the gear part too much and focus on the most important part of photography. Taking pictures and capturing all those little precious moments that you want to preserve for eternity.
Although the winter might not be the most photo-friendly season there is absolutely a reason to endure the cold and go out to shoot. Don’t be too analytical in your approach to photography, but also try to invest in your education.
Either way, have fun and congratulations to this great gift.
