Beginner photographers these days are challenged by an overabundance of information. Between YouTube, books, blogs, and quality websites like Adorama Learning Center, it\u2019s too easy to become overwhelmed by the amount of information available about photography. It\u2019s because of this that beginner photographers will sometimes make facepalm-worthy mistakes, just because they didn\u2019t know any better \u2013 they\u2019ve lost the forest for the trees. So here\u2019s a list of six mistakes that you can easily avoid.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Not cropping in-camera: <\/strong>A very common beginner mistake \u2013 you have this great shot, but it\u2019s far away. So you say, \u2018No problem, when I put it on the computer I\u2019ll crop it closer.\u2019 That\u2019s not going to make you a better photographer. If you can get the shot right in your camera\u2019s viewfinder, do it! It\u2019ll make you a better photographer two ways: First, you\u2019ll learn how to compose better. Second, when you do pick yourself up and get closer to your subject you\u2019ll probably discover five more, different, and maybe better shots than the one you originally had in mind.<\/li>\n
  2. Not reading your camera manual:<\/strong> This is something professionals have trouble with too. J Read the manual! Please! Yes, maybe you know that ultimately photography comes down to a few factors \u2013 shutter speed, ISO, focal length, and aperture. But your camera can do so much more \u2013 why not take a half hour to just flip through the manual to see what else it can do for you?<\/li>\n
  3. Shooting only .jpg:<\/strong> Your camera, quite likely, has the option to save the image information as either a .jpg file or a RAW<\/a> You probably know that the difference between them is that the .jpg file is pre-processed in the camera, so it\u2019s easier to share and view. The RAW file was not processed at all, so you need to do the processing yourself in your computer. But that also means that you can pull more out of the picture than if you had allowed the camera to process it. Many beginners shoot in .jpg (and so do many professionals!) but there\u2019s a point where you shoot a picture and you say to yourself, \u2018Oh, I think there\u2019s more in this picture!\u2019 And if you shot only in .jpg format, you\u2019re stuck \u2013 you can\u2019t get that out. That\u2019s why you should shoot RAW and .jpg together (check your camera manual \u2013 many cameras have this ability). If you\u2019re not ready to deal with the RAW files just delete them \u2013 but the day will come when you took a photo that will push you to pull out the RAW software that came with your camera, Photoshop, or Lightroom<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Limiting yourself to one genre of photography:<\/strong> You\u2019re a beginner photographer. You have a macro lens, and you love taking photos of bugs. That\u2019s very cool. But if you want to become a better photographer do something you don\u2019t love as much every so often. Pull out a wide-angle lens and force yourself to take a few landscape shots. You\u2019ll learn more about light, more about photography, and maybe more about yourself. And eventually you\u2019ll probably discover another genre of photography that you can love. And a similar point:<\/li>\n
    2. Not stretching out of your box:<\/strong> The most accelerated learning comes when you\u2019re out of your comfort zone. When you\u2019re under pressure, when you have to get it right, when you\u2019re intimidated, when you think that everything you\u2019re doing is going to be garbage. If you keep on getting yourself into those situations, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s harder and harder to get into those situations because you\u2019re going to be improving so much more quickly. So offering to shoot your neighbor\u2019s sweet sixteen for free is not so hard \u2013 how much are they going to expect from you if you didn\u2019t charge them? Tell them you\u2019ll do it for fifty bucks \u2013 you\u2019ll see how quickly you\u2019re going to have to up your game. Go for it, it\u2019s the best way to learn.<\/li>\n
    3. Not deleting files:<\/strong> This sounds like a little one, and it is \u2013 but you\u2019ll thank me in a few years when you have 75,000 pictures on your hard disk and you\u2019re trying to find one specific one. Odds are, if you\u2019re a beginner, you\u2019re going to have lots of repeats, the same shot from different angles, practice shots, lousy shots, and so on. Storage IS cheap, and that\u2019s why you\u2019ll be tempted to leave all those photos on your computer, or maybe even backed up in the cloud. But it\u2019s not worth it. Every time you upload a shoot take three to five minutes to delete the shots that you\u2019ll definitely never come back to. Like I said, you\u2019ll thank me later on!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Happy shooting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
