Every snapper can produce top notch photographs. It doesn’t matter how
much your camera costs, or how large it is.
And don’t believe anyone who tells you “all
you need to do to get better photos is to just take hundreds of
pictures. Some of them will be OK. That’s what the professionals do.”
No. They don’t. Ever. Trust me. (I hope my Dad is reading this - he's
the worst culprit I know!)
The thing that makes the biggest difference
to the quality of digital photography is the person behind the camera.
And that’s you!
This whole site grew out of this philosophy. If you are looking for
some digital photography instruction and want to take better photos -
you have come to the right place!
A quick example
As a quick example of the difference a bit of simple digital
photography instruction makes, look at the photo below. It’s a piece of
art-work in Prague. Roll your mouse over it to see the “before” and
“after”.

The camera was the same. The time of day was the same. The subject was
the same. The difference? The photographer!
My wife (love her to bits!) took the “before”. I looked at it on the
camera screen (isn’t digital photography wonderful?) and didn’t think
we were doing the art-work the justice it deserved.
So, I just re-framed the photo – and the “after” is the result.
A little guidance is all that's needed
This is not
difficult to achieve! And it is really easy to learn – you
just need some simple tips and tricks to help you out.
That’s why
you’re here, right?
The links below will take you to pages
that cover more specific digital photography instruction.

and tricks that I guarantee will improve your photography!
