Girls, I looove you!! So many great tips!!! xoxo
hi abm,
This post came at such a good time. I own a canon eos 60d and am in the process of deciding on which prime lens to purchase for day to day photos, but at the moment I have the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens that came with the kit. I’d be interested in how to work with zoom lenses like that one.
thanks 🙂

You are right Jessica. I own a Canon D70 right now but I have some issues with zoom lens too. this post really helps me a lot. I have to review tech product and for that reason, I need to do a lot of photography work. this post is really helpful. But I really don’t clear about iPhone camera concept.
I remembering seeing a lot of these posts on your blog, though not all of them. Thanks for putting them all together so that we won’t miss any! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s

And coincidentally, I went out this weekend looking for a good photography book, and ended up bringing home your photo idea book. 🙂 Thanks for all the awesome tips, suggestions, and inspiration!

Thank you for practical help and inspiring me to carry on with photography into my second year of A levels because sometimes I find it so hard when you don’t have people constantly around you that you want to take pictures or you live somewhere that doesn’t have cool walls… But I love doing it so I guess I just gotta find a way somehow!
I love reading through this post, as photography is a passion of mine! I especially liked the prime lens post – I don’t know how I missed that one since I thought I read all of the photo tips y’all had on here. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful tips and tricks for capturing amazing pictures. I faced lot of problems while taking good pictures, these tricks will enhance my photography. I will be looking for more great tips in future.
Thanks For giving this wonderful tips and tricks for capturing amazing pictures.
These tips are so good and really very creative. I will defiantly try them in my next photos.Thanks for this post https://goo.gl/ykQgMW
To operate your DSLR camera manually, the first place to start is with shooting modes. The aperture is reflective of the depth of field of the photo. To be able to capture the aperture of the image, a large depth of field is achieved by reducing the aperture. A large aperture gets the shallow depth of field of the image. When it comes to photographing a fast-moving object, choose a short shutter speed to freeze it. The shutter speed is the amount of light passing through the sensor. When you need to blur a moving subject, increase the shutter speed of your camera.
Nice tips for anyone who is looking to photograph each and everything. Keep Sharing!!!!
I like your article, I will use these tips! Also I would like to know your opinion on the account of this article http://weedit.photos/2017/iphone-photography-tips-and-tricks/
