How can I take professional looking photos on a regular digital camera/ nice film camera?

So I have 2 cameras. a Fuji, 12 megapixel, digital camera, nothing special really. My dad has a Mamiya 35 mm single lens reflex that still works great, minus the flash, that he lets me use. I have taken picture before (of course) but I want to get better. It would mostly be for outdoor portraits. Any tip/ techniques? I'm pretty sure we have the telephoto lens for the Mamiya.


Answer
Learn about your camera !!!!

Read your manual !!!! Read it several times, and practice in between. If you don't have a book, download a new one from the manufacturer's website.

Attend a class, read some books, read/watch online tutorials.

The major camera manufacturers (like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc) all have very useful sections on their website for learning about photography.

Understanding at least the basic principles of photography (as well as being familiar with your camera) will enable you to make the most of your gear, and will make a HUGE difference to your images.

How can i get the brokeh effect with a digital camera?




BETSEYY JO


I do not have a digital slr camera. Just a digital camera. I really want to take pictures with the brokeh effect. here are the details about my camera

Canon - PowerShot 12.1-Megapixel Digital ELPH Camera - Red

Model: SD780 IS


Is it possible with this camera?



Answer
Unfortunately, it is probably not. The sensors on most compact digital cameras are so small that they have a large depth of field even at the largest aperture (lowest f stop number). To test this, put the camera in aperture priority mode, zoom the lens all the way to its widest setting, and choose the lowest aperture number you can, which is probably f2 or f2.8. if you can't see a shallow depth of field effect (bokeh) in your backgrounds with that setting, your camera can't achieve it. If you can't afford a dslr, you can fake the effect in photoshop with the gaussian blur tool.

good luck!
