Beginners in digital photography around the world are eager to learn to take better photos with their digital cameras. Are the courses, workshops and ebooks on offer teaching what they need to know?

A few years ago, I wrote an ebook to teach beginners the basics of good photography. You know, aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, lighting, composition; the kind of things that are the stock-in-trade of any experienced phogographer. In recent times, I have been amazed at the increasing number of people eager to get their hands on this type of information.

With the internet seemingly taking over the world, and the explosion in availability of books, ebooks and courses on just about every subject, why is it so hard for a new photographer to find out how to use their camera? It’s a mystery for the modern age, but I think I may have found the answer.

The digital camera has revolutionized the way we take, view and distribute our photos and the immediacy of digital images and video enables production of better pictures.

Breathtaking photographs, once the domain of the professional photographer are now readily available to the keen amateur shutter-bug. All it takes is a good digital camera and the honing of skills and techniques using readily available books and e-books where some great advice can be acquired and often at little cost.

The rapid evolution of digital camera technology, the distribution of thousands of low cost, efficient camera models (over 65 million cameras have been sold to date), integration with cellular and internet technologies has meant that a specialized hobby or profession can more easily be accessed by nearly everyone.

However the rise of digital photography does not mean that it’s got that much easier to take spectacular photographs; even with camera technology automation and presets for the novice user, that have greatly improved the ability to take reasonable photographs, images can still be enhanced with techniques, tricks and skill and there is often a gulf of knowledge and experience between good and great shots.

Trying to capture life-time experiences, sensational sunsets, stunning holiday pics, children at play, family events and the like without a good appreciation of the technical requirements for great photography will often leave the amateur photographer disappointed and frustrated with his or her photographic endeavours.  Read more...
