Did you get a brand new DSLR or Mirrorless camera under the Christmas tree last year? Then this episode is for you!  Getting your first camera is both exciting and terribly overwhelming! There’s so many dials, buttons and menu options that it can feel a bit daunting at first.  I know both from personal experience, and from teaching photography to thousands of students over the last 8 years that it can also be very disheartening when you don’t get the photos you want from your camera. So much so, that I know of many people who gave up pretty quickly, because they could get better photos from their phone!  I don’t want that to happen to you, so today on the podcast, I’m giving you 6 simple things you can do TODAY that will instantly improve your photos.  That way, while you’re learning the in and outs of photography, you are at least getting better photos so you aren’t tempted to revert back to your phone camera!  Tune in to learn:  What you’ll need your camera manual for (and what you definitely won’t!)  Where you should take your first photos for best results.  The simple technique that will instantly make your photos look more professional.  What nearly all new photographers do that make their images look like snapshots (and what you can do instead) An introduction to a simple composition rule that will make your photos look more dynamic How to make sure your camera hits the right focus point!  RESOURCES MENTIONED Join us in the 5 Day Beginners Bootcamp! https://livesnaplove.com/bootcamp/ COME SAY HI!
