take good pictures

Digital cameras make it easy to come away from that holiday or party with the images that you wanted.  Gerry will help you to make the most of your camera and give you ideas to cut the cost even more with tips from years of experience.

It might be worth a few lessons before you buy anything new.

Beginner or expert, these links take you to really helpful pages from the BBC:

Taking good photos:
Excellent tips that cover buildings, people, light, landscape, colour and composition.  Each topic has several main points with images to illustrate.
Inspire me:
Links to galleries and program information to give you ideas.  Select from science, nature, history, weather, news etc.  Ideas for even the dullest places.
Galleries:
More than 1000 images in categories.  Many were sent in by viewers of the "How We Built Britain" and "Britain In Pictures" programmes.

A video from The Gadget Show - a program to reduce "noise" in images.

Here are a few benefits of digital photography:

• check the picture as soon as you take it - no more images blocked by thumbs, at least not after you re-take it.

• take as many shots as you like and just delete the ones you don't want - don't worry about wasting film, there isn't any.

• save money by using the same card time and time again and only printing the shots you want - save them to computer to be viewed/printed later

• improve the shots you have taken and share them over the Internet with friends and family - see our improve & share pictures page
