Make no bones about it the digital cameras of today are far more easy to operate than the old school traditional film cameras. This does not mean, however, that these cameras are without their complexities. Additionally, there may be some added complexities associated with indoor digital photography, a type of photography that is often considered more simplistic than exterior shooting. Well, while it is true that exterior shooting can be somewhat complicated its complexities do not exist at the exclusion of complexities associated with interior shoots. While there are a number of tips for improving one’s picture taking, here the two most common impediments to solid picture taking will be examined.
Light and Shadows
Is it a trick of light and shadows? This was the question asked on the old commercial for the infamous Face on Mars videotape. While no one will be shooting photographs of the landscape of the Red Planet from their living room, when one takes part in indoor digital photography there will still be concerns about light and shadows. After all, poor light will kill the quality of photographs greater than anything else. Of course, a solid flash will eliminate any problems with light exposure but it is also striking to note that there is also flashless digital cameras as well that are quite reliable. Either way, paying attention to the light conditions for a camera will always be of paramount importance for indoor digital photography.
The Benefits of a Tripod
Believe it or not, when it comes to digital indoor photography many people do not take into consideration the value of a tripod. Often, people will assume that a tripod is necessary for outdoor shoots due to the commonly uneven ground of an exterior, but the relatively even surface of an interior shoot makes the need for a tripod unnecessary. To put it mildly, such logic really doesn’t add up! There are many reasons why this notion is wildly lacking in logic, but the main reason would be that without a tripod there will be a need to hold your camera steady exclusively by hand. Needless to say, this can be problematic at times and can often ruin a shot. So, if you want to make sure you digital indoor photography is solid then it may be best to stick with a tripod.
Again, while there are a number of areas to take into consideration regarding this type of photography paying attention to light and using a tripod will eliminate 90% of the most common problems associated with snapping pictures. It is as simple as that.
