There are many ways we can photograph a single subject and a good photographer will be thinking of how to create something unique and special in any scene. Sometimes it is as easy as changing our angle of view and getting down low or being above the subject. Getting in close to focus on a part of the overall picture can often be what we need to do. A beanbag is very useful for supporting a camera when lying down for that low shot.
Let's look at some techniques and go on to look at how to handle a camera.

In chapter one we covered the basics of lens technology and discovered the difference between wide angle and telephoto lens systems. We also saw how larger apertures are usually an indication of lens quality as they let in more light, making faster shutter speeds possible in dim light. We have learned that the greatest advancement in lens technology in resent years has been the advent of silent motors for auto focus, new glass for lens elements such as the Nikon ED glass and Vibration Reduction or Image Stabilization.

NOTE: this chapter contains separate tutorials that you need to follow page after page, hitting the button "NEXT", unlike the chapter 1 we had, which was divided into " 1.2, 1.3, 1.4...etc". And so we will continue with the other chapters, with the system "all in one".

The modern digital camera is not the only photographic tool at our creative disposal. The scanner can also be used as a camera for transforming photos into digital files or three dimensional objects into photos.

Not more science to consider! As an artist you are probably thinking with a side of your brain not overly interested in physics, but please be patient here and do some basic learning. Photography is a wonderful mix of science and creativity and the most successful image makers will from time to time be thinking with both sides of the brain and analyzing the science required. This is very important when we consider what filters to use, when and why.

The lens on a camera is what focuses light onto the focal plane to create an image. It is a cylindrical tube that holds a series of concave and convex lens elements. Light enters the lens through a hole or aperture and is bent to a focal point by the series of lens elements. Depending on the quality it will be made of plastic or glass.

Resolution is something we are bombarded with in the digital world. It has created a whole new realm of confusion in what is required to make a good print to a specific size and in what file format.

The digital camera was originally developed by NASA to send images back from outer space. It has been the advent of personal computers and the internet that has made them mainstream image-capturing devices.
