"all you need to do to get better photos is to just take hundreds of pictures. Some of them will be OK. Thatís what the professionals do."/i>


No. They don't. Ever. Trust me. (I hope my Dad is reading this - he's the worst culprit I know!)

The thing that makes the biggest difference to the quality of digital photography is the person behind the camera. And that's you!

This whole site grew out of this philosophy. If you are looking for some digital photography instruction and want to take better photos - you have come to the right place!

A quick example

As a quick example of the difference a bit of simple digital photography instruction makes, look at the photo below. It's a piece of art-work in Prague. Roll your mouse over it to see the "before" and "after".

The camera was the same. The time of day was the same. The subject was the same. The difference? The photographer!

My wife (love her to bits!) took the "before" picture. "Thought we could make some thank you cards (although I wouldnít include checks) with it" she said. Apparently VistaPrint do a nice line. Then I had a look at it on the camera screen and didnít think we were doing the art-work the justice it deserved.

So, I just re-framed the photo and the "after" is the result.
