I'm so glad you found your way onto my Photography Basics series. I have taught the basics of photography to millions of photographers around the world through Improve Photography, so I know just exactly how difficult it can seem to learn the basics of photography.
My goal is to make this Photography Basics series the absolute simplest way to learn the basics of photography.
I hope you'll love this series because of what you learn here, and I hope you'll join the Improve Photography community after you get your feet wet with the photo basics. Let's get going.
Basic Equipment You'll Need
You can do photography with even the simplest of cameras, but the principles that I'd like to teach are for people who want to learn to use a DSLR camera, a micro four-thirds camera, or at least a camera that allows the photographer to adjust the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Even some pocket cameras have this functionality.
Here are some of our entry level DSLR options. The (with Accessories) link will show you a kit that comes with the camera, lens, case, extra battery, and a memory card:
Canon EOS Rebel T6 with 18-55mm and 75-300mm Lenses (with Accessories)
Nikon D5600 with 18-55mm and 70-300mm Lenses (with Accessories)
Canon EOS Rebel T7i with 18-135mm Lens (with Accessories)
Now that you have your camera, it is time to learn exposure.
Exposure–the most basic element of photography
When photographers talk about “exposure,” we simply mean the brightness or darkness of a photo. It seems simple enough to take a photo that is correctly exposed (has the proper brightness or darkness), but in reality it can be quite the trick.
To help get the right exposure with your camera settings – you can download this Camera Settings Cheat Sheet guide.
If you're reading this Photo Basics series, it probably means that you currently shoot on the “Green mode” of your camera–or the automatic setting. That means the camera entirely controls the exposure of the picture. When you shoot on automatic mode, your camera selects an aperture setting, an ISO setting, a shutter speed, and a host of other settings for you.
Automatic can be handy, but it also seriously limits your creative ability to make a beautiful picture.
Want proof that automatic isn't the best way to shoot? Check out the picture below. On the left, the picture was taken entirely in automatic mode on a Canon Rebel DSLR. That might look okay to you… until you see the picture on the right. Same sunset. Same camera. The pictures were taken only seconds apart. The difference? The picture on the right was taken using manual exposure.
Which photo do you prefer? Probably the picture on the right! By choosing a creatively dark exposure, the rich colors in the sunset were allowed to shine through.
However, technically, the photo on the left is “correct,” and the photo on the right is “incorrect.” The camera saw through the lens and tried to expose the bird so that it wouldn't become a shadow. To me, the photo was not about exposing the bird properly, but exposing the sunset properly. The bird was just a nice shape to include in the foreground. This is exactly why you must learn exposure–because sometimes the “scientifically correct” exposure is not the best exposure to make the photo look how you want it to.
What's next?
Now that you understand why it is so important to take control over the exposure, let's move on to shutter, aperture and ISO–which are the tools you need to control the exposure. Soon you'll understand the basics of how to shoot in manual mode on your camera. I promise shooting in manual mode isn't nearly as scary as you might think.
Once you're ready to deepen your knowledge of manual mode, get tack sharp focus, and master lighting, consider buying my Photography Start Course. It's a series of 22 video tutorials where I walk you step-by-step through the things that it normally takes my photography students two years to learn. Other photography websites sell a very similar course for $300. I've priced it at a REALLY reasonable price because I remember how tight money was when I was a beginner.

Excellent article. I absolutely appreciate this site.

Trading cryptocurrencies is a lucrative opportunity for many.
While crypto trading is profitable, it can be highly pernicious to the traders if
not done properly. By proper means, one should do it with the right set of tools and the
right mindset. Time waits for no one and the crypto exchage
market is no exception. A plethora of cryptocurrencies, advanced tools, market volatility,
and trading strategies may all cause confusion to the new as well as expert traders.
Fortunately, technology has made it possible for the
traders to automate the exchage process including market
analysis, order execution, predicting market trends,
and more. Automated crypto trading is one of the best practices used by computer programs/trading
bots to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. These software tools are intended
to react to market changes to trade at the right moment.
Traders can consider automate trading via the best crypto exchage platforms by making
use of trading bots, advanced orders, and more.
Automated trading
So, automated trading is a method of participating in crypto or stock markets by using a program that executes pre-set rules for entering and
exiting trades. As the trader, you will combine
thorough technical analysis with setting parameters for your positions, such as orders to open, trailing stops, trailing stop loss orders, take profit,
etc.
Automated trading methods enable you to carry out many
or multiple trades in a small amount of time, with
the added benefit of taking the emotion out of your decisions.
That’s because all the rules of the trade are already built into the preset parameters.
With some algorithms, the traders can even use the pre-determined strategies to follow trends and trade accordingly.
Automated crypto trading relies on algorithms which are actually the set of instructions
used to solve computational issues. In the crypto sphere, algorithms can trade digital assets on behalf of the traders.
And, the programs which use algorithms to trade are the
bots. The best platforms offer a variety of bots to the traders
which work based on preset conditions, signals, market analysis, and more.
Usually, trading bots use APIs that help traders to interact with multiple exchanges.
I love it when folks get together and share ideas. Great website, continue the good work!
It’s going to be ending of mine day, but before ending I am reading this impressive
paragraph to increase my know-how.
Wow I am a beginner and this is really really helpful …
A motivating discussion is worth comment. There’s
no doubt that that you should publish more about this subject, it may not be a taboo subject
but typically folks don’t speak about such issues.
To the next! Many thanks!!
I seriouѕly love yoᥙr site.. Great colors & theme.
Did yyou develop this amazing site yourself? Please reply
back as I’m lookiјng to create my own personal website and Ñ¡ould like
tο learn where you got this from or just what the thеme is named.
Cheers!
I am no longer sure the place you are getting your
info, however good topic. I needs to spend a while studying much more
or working out more. Thanks for fantastic information I was in search of this
info for my mission.

Thanks for every other informative website. Where else may I
get that type of info written in such a perfect
way? I’ve a project that I’m simply now operating on, and I’ve been on the look out for
such information.
