Want to improve your photography- or get out of automatic? A great way is by getting out and experimenting- starting with the basic functioning of the settings on your camera is a jumping-off point. There are a lot of photography cheat-sheets around on the internet so you should be able to find one that suits you. I love this one (below) by Miguel Yatco and have a little laminated copy of it in the pocket of my camera bag. On the back I wrote some little reminders for myself and my daughter who is just starting to get into DSLR Photography.
1. Check your settings.
2. Think about the light.
3. Compostion; rule of thirds, reaching trees, white space.
4. Check the background, horizon, 4 corners, around people... no weird sproutings. Look at what you’re not looking at.
5. Work the angles, expend energy! Get closer, maybe move back too?
6. Practice, practice, practice, play!
7. Analyse your mistakes and successes.
8. Study what you love about other people’s photos.
9. Practice, practice, practice.
