Touchdown Shouting Tips to Shoot Digital Photos of American Football Part 1

American Football - a game of high stakes and even higher emotions, whether it's the joy of watching an immaculate catch, the anguish of losing a game by a "wide-right" field-goal, or the worry of seeing your quarterback blindsided by an angry lineman with something to prove.

What makes football a high-paced, anything-can-happen event also makes it very difficult for digital photographers. You must deal with 22 players on the field (not to mention referees and coaches trying to get their points across), plus the midday sun outside or inconsistent lighting inside domes. Unless you have a press pass, you also must deal with nose-bleed seats in large stadiums and shouting and screaming fans ready to jump up at a moment's notice to block your shot. Whew!

To help you score a touchdown with your digital photos I've listed 9 digital photography tips. The first five are mentioned in this article with tips 6-9 listed in Part II.

1) Don't Get Your Hopes Up

This sounds like a lousy tip to start things off, but hear me out. If you're sitting in nose-bleed seats and don't own a digital camera with a large optical telephoto zoom (digital zoom doesn't matter), football players will likely appear as just large dots in your photos. And if you're sitting behind a tall person that loves to stand up and cheer after every play, good luck taking great photos from your seat without getting a shot of the person's head in the way.

In either of these two scenarios, look around the stadium for aisles or walkways where you can hang around without impeding others' views (and getting security nervous). You need a clear line of sight; an errant head or foam "we're number one" hand appears in too many photos.

2) Buy a Camera with Plenty of Adjustment Features

I'm not saying you must run out and purchase a $1,000+ digital SLR (though it may help!), but make sure the digital camera you buy has plenty of adjustment options. At a minimum you should be able to adjust the shutter speed, ISO settings (more on both later), and metering or exposure levels to adjust to difficult lighting scenarios.

One other point - look for digital cameras with image stabilization features or lenses. Though this won't offset any blurriness caused by football players moving at high speed, it may reduce blurriness caused by shaking when holding a camera.

3) Ensure Your Camera can be Taken to the Game

Don't get sacked before you even get a chance to sit down. Stadiums have different rules about what you can bring to the game. At high-school or intramural games you may be able to bring any camera you desire. For college and professional games you may be limited to cheap compacts, "non-professional" digital cameras, or cameras with a small maximum telephoto zoom.

4) Bring the Right Accessories

Bringing a digital camera is just the tip of the iceberg, like the extra point that comes after a touchdown. At a minimum you need:

* A lens hood - Focus light to your camera, essential on sunny days (even if it's cold).

* Extra memory - Great shots won't end at halftime; don't let your memory fill up by then.

* Extra batteries - What if a game goes to overtime?

* Waterproof camera bag - In case soda or alcoholic beverages are spilled.

* Cleaning supplies such as dry napkins and a lens-cleaning kit - See above.

If you're attending a football game that lets you take photos on the sidelines, bring along a tripod AND if you own one, a spare digital camera. The digital camera mounted on the tripod can be focused near the center of the field to take photos without camera shake, and you can use your spare camera for quick photos if the action is outside the other camera's range of vision. Just be prepared to move quickly if the action gets too close!

5) Don't Forget Tailgate Parties

Tailgate parties are as much of a part of the football experience as the game itself. Bring extra memory and batteries to take photos of your friends and other fans around the stadium. Snap a photo of the person wearing a rainbow wig, the fans painted in their teams' colors, and of impressive grilling setups.

Part II of this article will discuss more camera settings necessary to take quick photos during plays, as well as more advice on what you can do to prepare before the game.

16 Digital Photography Tips for Christmas

It’s just a few days until Christmas so I thought a quick tutorial on the topic of Christmas Photography might be appropriate. Hopefully this will give you some good Christmas photo ideas.

Here are 16 Christmas Photography tips and ideas to try that come to mind for digital camera owners wanting to capture the big day:

1. Prepare – Making a List, checking it twice….

Making sure you’re ready to capture any planned event is part of the key to a successful shoot. Getting yourself ready but also the location of your shots is worthwhile.

Pack the camera – goes without saying? I forgot mine last year in the rush to get the car packed. Make sure your batteries are charged and you have extras and/or the recharger packed. Pack extra memory cards – have them empty and ready to fill up Put someone on ‘photos’ – our family has someone on drinks, main course, dessert – why not put someone on ‘photos’ so that in the craziness of the day they don’t get forgotten. Consider the light in the room that you’ll be photographing in. Is there enough light? Will you need a flash? Are the backgrounds too cluttered and distracting? 2. A White Balance Christmas

Here in Australia we often celebrate Christmas outdoors, but many people around the world do it inside in unnatural lighting. Pay attention to what type of light you’re shooting in and set your white balance settings accordingly. Alternatively, if you’ve got a camera that shoots in RAW you can shoot away and set your white balance later.

3. Set up a DIY ‘Photo Booth’ The shots were great – people went back to it throughout the party and the photos got crazier and crazier as time went on. It was the hit of the party. 4. Capture the preparation stages Photo by paper by design

The actual Christmas meal or party is obviously the best part of the day, but there are other photographic opportunities, particularly in the preparations stages of the day.

Food preparation Putting up decorations Wrapping gifts Kids throwing a tantrum while getting dressed in their Christmas outfits Setting the table

The shots before the event starts properly are often great because they show everything at it’s best before everyone descends on your party zone.

5. Before and After Shots

Speaking of shots before the party starts, why not set up some before and after shots both of the place you’re holding your party and what it looks like afterwards. Make sure you take the shots from the same position.

6. Time-lapse Christmas series

I have one friend who set up his computer with a web cam in the corner of the room with the camera looking down on the Christmas table. He set the camera to go off every 5 minutes over the day and ended up with one of the most wonderful series of shots that I’ve seen for a long time.

Photo by rachel r 7. Christmas Lights

Photographing Christmas lights is something that can be tricky to do. David Hobby from Strobist has put together a great tutorial on how to do it. Check it out at How to Photograph Christmas Lights.

8. Find a Point of Interest – but just per shot

All good shots should have a focal point that holds the attention of those viewing your images. The problem with Christmas is that there can often be too many competing focal points in shots with people, color, decorations, food in every shot. Work hard and de-cluttering your images. Check out this post on minimalism which contains some tips on de-cluttering images.

9. Fresh Group Photos

One of the most common types of shots at Christmas is the ‘group photo’. It’s usually taken at the end of the evening or day when everyone is looking at their worst. For a ‘fresher’ shot take it once everyone has arrived. Also think before hand about how you might pose everyone and where you might take the shot. I’ve posted 12 tips for taking a great group photo previously.

10. Opening Gifts – Shoot in Continuous Mode

There are certain moments during a Christmas gathering that are filled with all manner of photographic opportunities and the opening of gifts is like no other in that it is filled with an array of emotions, facial expressions and excitement – especially if you’ve got kids around. Switch your camera to burst mode (sometimes called continuous shooting mode) and take lots of shots at this time of the festivities. You’ll find you end up with some excellent series of shots when you do this that capture everything from the anticipation of getting the wrapped gift, through to the excitement of unwrapping to the joy (or occasionally disappointment) of seeing what’s inside. Don’t forget to shoot the reactions of those who GIVE the gift as well.

One of the most common mistakes I see in Christmas photos (or any party/even photography) is that people often end up with shots of their subjects off in the distance on the other side of a room with lots of space around them. Fill your frame with your subject either by using your zoom or getting up and moving yourself closer. While this is one of the simplest tips I ever give it is one that can have the most profound impact on your shots.

12. Diffuse/Reflect Your Flash

- Another common problem with Christmas shots is ending up with shots where the flash is so bright that subjects look like rabbits in a spotlight with harsh shadows behind them. One way around this is to use some sort of a flash diffuser or reflector. If you’re lucky enough to have an external flash try bouncing it off walls or the ceiling. Another way to reduce the impact of your flash and to create some interesting effects is to switch your camera into ‘night mode’ (slow sync mode). This will tell your camera to choose a slower shutter speed but still fire your flash. In doing so it’ll capture some of the ambient light of the room as well as freeze your subject. Be warned, you can end up with some wacky shots doing this (but they can also be lots of fun).

13. Go Macro

Most digital cameras come with a macro mode and an increasing number of DPS readers are buying macro lenses so flick to that mode, attach your lens and photograph the smaller things around your party. Ornaments on the tree, table decorations, sweets in the bowl on the table, a nativity scene on the mantle piece, holly above the doorway – sometimes it’s these small things around your party that are the real ‘money shots’. Don’t forget our Macro Hacks for compact cameras.

Photo by Splat Worldwide 14. Watch Your Aperture

I quite often shoot in Aperture Priority mode on a day like Christmas and am constantly changing the aperture depending upon my subject. For example when taking shots of a Christmas decoration on the tree I’ll select a large aperture (a small number like f/2.8) so as to throw the background out of focus, but on a shot taken from the end of the table of everyone sitting down eating I’ll choose a small aperture (like f/8 to f/11 or more) so as to have a larger depth of field and keep everyone in focus.

15. Explore Your Neighborhood

If your neighborhood is anything like mine there is an almost unlimited number of photographic opportunities presenting themselves all around you. Christmas carols services, houses covered in Christmas decorations, shopping malls filled with busyness etc. Get out there with your camera and capture it. What a wonderful time of year to practice using your camera. Have fun!

Digital Photography Tips – 3 Underwater Photography Tips

Photography has always been a fascinating subject to many people. Nowadays, you don't just see pictures taken on land. You can also see pictures taken from space, air and underwater. So, for those divers who have the interest, underwater photography has become another perfect reason for them to do more diving.

Here are some tips for you if you are interested in this new hobby.

1. The equipments

As you already know, most cameras nowadays are not water resistant. Even some of the digital cameras that were designed to be water resistant, they can only be submerged underwater for the maximum of 2-3 meters.

So, when you want to practice underwater photography, you will want to get a casing to protect your camera. This kind of casing is just a transparent plastic with rubber to house your digital camera. As long as you fit your camera nicely in the plastic case, you can still access its function from the outside.

There is one thing you need to remember before you jump into water is the capacity of your memory card. Imagine that you are happily taking picture of the unique underwater life and suddenly your memory card is full. You certainly can't change your memory card like you are on land and you can only do that at the surface. But by the time you get back to the same spot, your subject might be long gone. There is nothing more frustrating to a photographer than to miss the perfect shot and it is even more frustrating when it is cause by a small mistake like this.

2. Closing in

It is said that the things you see underwater is 3 times larger when they are on land. This is because water distorts (refract or bend) light.

So, when you are taking pictures underwater, you will want to get as close as possible to your subject. Another tip for you to keep in mind is that you need to be careful when you are photographing marine life in close proximity.

Even though some of them might look still, your flash and distant might provoke them and cause them to attack. The last thing you will want to get with underwater photography is to get hurt by your subject. So, keep yourself safe by minimizing your flash and use your zoom lenses whenever is possible.

3. Research

You are supposed to know where you are diving, right? So, research about the underwater marine life before you go there so that you will know what you are going to see. You can also assess how dangerous your subjects will be so that you can be prepared for them.

And for you to enjoy your diving and photography trip to the fullest, you can also look for any experience guide who can dive with you. When you are diving with them, there is a high chance for you to take some astonishing underwater pictures.

Digital Photography Tutorial Reveals Digital Camera Pricing Tips

It is hard to imagine that it was only a few years ago where we had to wait for days in order to have camera film processed and be able to see the results of our photography work. Fortunately with today's technology those days of waiting are over. Todays digital cameras not only give us instant gratification but better photos and the ability to manipulate our photos through the use of photo editing software. With the changes in photography people are no longer dependent on professional photographers to capture those special moments in their lives.

If you are in the market to purchase a digital camera you may become overwhelmed by the choices you face; there are hundreds of cameras which fit every budget. There is a common misconception that only expensive items are of good quality; however, when purchasing a digital camera you can toss this notion out the window. It is easy to find a quality inexpensive camera with features that will meet every need.

Inexpensive cameras are ideal for most everyones needs. All of the major, name brand manufacturers, including Fuji, Kodak, Samsung, Olympus, Nikon and HP, market digital cameras at reasonable prices. When digital cameras were first on the market you were faced with spending enormous amounts of money, thankfully today you can find a camera under $100 that has all the features you are looking for including 5 mega pixels and a great zoom lens. Most cameras are compact and can be carried with you anywhere so you can take great pictures no matter where you are.

If you have a more constrained budget you can find cameras with anywhere from 3.1 to 5 mega pixels for under $50. You will find that the features on these cameras are a bit more limited, with a smaller zoom range, yet they are ideal for typical personal use.

To get the most bang for your buck I advise that you do some Internet research, learning the terminology that you will see when looking for your camera. Understanding the terms and knowing exactly what you would like to have will help narrow down your search. Even though there are some incredible opportunities on the Internet, if you don't know exactly what it is you are looking for you will have a very difficult time finding the best camera for you.

If you would like to have more than a point and shoot camera you will be looking at cameras in the $100 to $200 range. Cameras in this price range have an incredible amount of features and are perfect if you would like to take professional quality photos. Cameras in this range are generally small enough to take wherever you wish to go to get incredible, spur of the moment, photos.

In fact, most cameras on the market today are incredibly compact, generally small enough to be slipped into the pocket. Most of these cameras have 8 to 10 mega pixels which will create quality prints in the 4x6 - 8x10 range. When you do your research you will learn that the higher the mega pixel rating the larger the print you will be able to make, as well as the better the overall quality of the photo. Some of the manufacturers that you will want to look for include Konica, Minolta, Nikon, Sony and Olympus. Features to expect include optical zoom, multi scene, LCD and a few other useful functions.

For a more professional camera you can spend more than $200; in this price range you will find 12 mega pixels, image stabilization high resolution sensors and an ultra compact body. It is even possible to find basic SLR cameras at this price range, allowing you to change out lenses. Even though SLR cameras are bulkier you are definitely moving out of the point and shoot range to the professional arena. In this price range you can also purchase ultra compact cameras. These are typically the size of a credit card and 1" thick. The nice thing about these cameras is that even though these cameras are thin they still contain the advanced features such as digital zoom and LCD.

Research is key to finding the best deal. The Internet is the worlds largest library and here you can not only find discounts but stay abreast of the latest innovations in digital cameras. Prior to purchasing you definitely want to make some price comparisons and there are a variety of sites that allow you to do this.

Figure out what your ideal digital camera would include then search the Internet for it, always looking for the best deal.

Digital Photography Tips From Ritu

Digital photography isn’t only about clicking shots on the best of the days. Good clear weather, blue skies and lovely sunshine generally help you get good digital pictures. But you are not the only one getting the help. Everyone can get good shots on perfect days. But you may want to click on days which though not perfect are still special. Storms, lightning, rainy days may afford you the photograph of a lifetime. Your digital camera can work wonders on these days also, if you keep a few things in mind.

You may be an adventurous digital photographer. Nevertheless, keep your safety uppermost in mind before venturing on such a photographic expedition. Having said this, the more difficult it is to get a photograph; more will be its monetary value. Therefore, before embarking out on an especially stormy night, weigh all your pros and cons.

A rainy day is a good day to take photographs, in the sense that it makes the scenery glisten. This is true for both the city as well as the countryside. The clouds in fact even out the effect of light. In bright sunshine, the digital image will turn out to be almost black in places. You can get some nice romantic landscape shots on a rainy day. The thing to remember is stray rain droplets can damage the lens therefore; use a protective accessory for that.

Clicking a perfect shot of a sky lit up with a lightning streak may require some practice. The lag in digital cameras between pressing the click button and actual closing of the shutter may make you miss such unpredictable shots. A digital SLR is good to take such images. Increasing the shutter speed and using a tripod will help. The tripod saves you from blurring the image by shaking the camera at the wrong moment. Using the manual mode will be the best to reduce the lag period.

Pictures of snow-laden mountains, houses or melting snow on trees always have a special charm. Get your perfect Christmas picture on such a day. Snow brings out the contrast against its surroundings giving you a great background. Get friends to dress up brightly and click them enjoying in the snow. Snow melting off the trees will give you the perfect nature shot. Adjust the E/V value (exposure to light), if the day is too bright or dark.

Now you don’t have to hide indoors in special weather. Having fun with your digital camera can be an on-going process.

Aiptek Camcorder Safety Tips: 4 Things You Should Know

If you have an Aiptek camcorder, then consider yourself very lucky.  That is because you have a handy camcorder that is very versatile, portable, and most importantly durable.  

Although Aiptek produces quality products, your camcorder is not indestructible.  Mishandling and incorrect usage of the camcorder could damage its sensitive parts.  So here are some basic safety tips to protect your Aiptek digital camcorder from being damaged.

1.  Protect your camcorder from water.  Once your Aiptek gets wet, its sensitive parts and circuitry might get damaged.  This means you have to avoid using your camcorder under the rain unless you have a waterproof casing that can protect the unit.  

2.  Avoid dropping your camcorder.  Aiptek video cameras are not shockproof.  Its parts and lens might shatter if you accidentally drop it.  To avoid such unfortunate incident, make sure to use a hand guard accessory in order not to lose your grip.  

3.  Do not focus your camcorder on the sun or to any powerful light source.  Powerful bright lights could damage the imager of the camcorder rendering it useless.  You will not be able to take shots and videos if the imager will be damaged.  

4. Do not toy with the LCD display.  Aiptek camcorder has a swiveling LCD display.  The hinges and connectors of the LCD display might loosen if you play with it.  

Aiptek is a very valuable camcorder.  You can bring it anywhere to capture nice sceneries and panoramic landscapes.  Make sure that you can properly use it so that your camcorder will last for many years.
