This is the perfect time to review our 'Photo Basics' Section which is providing tons of useful information to help you grasp traditional photography controls , such as exposure and focus options, reveal essential composition techniques , as well as key camera features and accessories , why they are important and how they affect your photographs.

Even if you are not at beginner's level, going through the pages you may pick up some fresh ideas or some new lessons to learn.




Latest Additions to DPTips-Central.com

Filter_Holder_Kit

The latest addition to the 'Photo Basics' Section is the material on Camera Lens Filters and their use in digital photography.

They were very popular before the advent of digital photography as some of the effects were not possible or easy to achieve in the darkroom. Having a digital camera and being skilled at using an image editor like Photoshop, you may feel you no longer need camera lens filters because you can get similar results by digitally editing your images.

However, there are many good reasons for considering using a few camera lens filters, the effects of which cannot be reproduce using digital editing techniques and the properties of which we explore in Camera Lens Filters.
