Understanding light is one of the very basic principles of learning to be a photographer. When you have a group of people in front of you with smiling faces ready for you to say ‘cheese’ or if you are taking a shot of a scenic area, the most important consideration is the light factor. Light controls the type of exposure and therefore the quality of the photo is dependent on the quality of the light on your subject and the amount of light that impacts on the film or digital sensor when you click. Controlling the amount of light is a good pre-occupation in the mind of a photographer keen to get a good shot. It should be one of the key considerations.

Are you someone who is always in with a camera? This is not a bad thing. It is probably the best and easiest way to a record in our lives and the special events that keep altogether. As a child, my father would always say that it is impossible, too many photographs and gave me the fact that the family photo albums were probably the most valuable possession we had. It is simply not possible to replace such items. You see where I'm comingfrom?
