Cameras are everywhere: on our phones, on our computers, even in items of jewellery and clothing; but despite this many people are still mystified by them. With new technology, sophisticated new features, and even entirely new types of camera appearing every few months, the ever-changing world of digital photography can seem pretty daunting, especially to the beginner. If you’re interested in photography as a more serious hobby or just someone who takes pictures of friends and family and the occasional holiday snap, this guide can help. We will outline the main camera types and then take you through some of the essential basic camera craft that is the foundation of any good photography. This includes details about shutter speed and camera shake, focusing, metering and aperture and depth of field. Then we will take you on to some more varied photographic projects that cover a broad range of creative and technical disciplines and our collection of both technical and creative information will help you take your photography to levels you never thought possible before.
