I have learned so much about photography since my early days of photographing my wife. No, don't even ask. I used to think I had all the answers. Just pick myself up the latest and greatest camera and I was off to the races. Then I couldn't understand why my photos looked like garbage. Well, I quickly learned that it's all about lighting. I don't care how great your camera is. If you don't have sufficient lighting, your photos are only going to be so good. This article is going to give you some personal tips that I've picked up over the years that have greatly helped me make the most of my digital photos.

For starters, the time of day when you take your photos greatly matters. There is a huge difference between natural sunlight and the light that comes from your halogen lamps or whatever source it is that you're using. For example, I can take a photo inside my living room, with absolutely no lights on at all, just the window shades wide open, and end up with crystal clear photos. This will be true with the cheapest digital camera all the way to the most expensive top of the line model. As a matter of fact, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two as long as the megapixels of each are about the same. Natural daylight does wonders for your photos.

Okay, but what if you're taking photos at night? Well, then you're going to have to depend on good lighting. The flash of your digital camera, especially if it's a built in flash, is only going to do so much. Many times, with poor lighting, you'll end up with photos that are either very dark or grainy or both. This is what used to drive me crazy with my early photos. What I have found is that halogen lights are great if you simply want photos that are bright and crystal clear. If they're white halogen, don't expect very soft or colorful photos as the white light kind of washes them out. But they will be bright and clear. Just make sure the light is focused on the subject from the side. Either side will be fine. Anything but directly behind as the light will end up in the line of site of the photo. You don't want that.

If you want softer photos, you need different color lights. There's a resource in my signature that goes into all that stuff. You can read my review of it at my blog.

I never used to like taking photos. But these days, taking great looking photos is a breeze.

Customer Review: Dont Buy NON-Canon Batteries For Your Pro-Equipment
Yeah I know Canon batteries cost more , but you get what you pay for. Sure you can get the same battery from a different company for as low as $5 on Amazon , but I wouldn't trust those batteries in my equipment. I used to think the generic batteries were just as good until I bought a few. Years later my canon batteries still work and the generics are both almost completely dead.

Is it really possible, to get more than you pay for? We all like to believe that, as we're walking out the store with our brand new purchase still shrink wrapped neatly tucked under our arm. But, how long until the shrink wrap is cracked, and buyers remorse starts to settle in. In the case of the Kodak EasyShare M753 Digital Camera, it may not take too long. But, whose fault is that? The consumers, or Kodaks?

I've bought EasyShare cameras in the past, and they all seem to experience the same problem with the mode selection wheel. It never seems to stay put. Every time you slip the M753 into a case (not included by the way) you have to make sure you didn't accidentally turn it own. Otherwise, that's a sure fire way to churn thru batteries. Even using the camera, you'll find it annoying to have to check the mode wheel, to make sure it hasn't slipped. There nothing worse than thinking your taking a still picture, when the EasyShare is actually in movie mode.

Kodak made a strange decision with the EasyShare M753 when it comes to the battery. It comes with a rechargeable battery, which some people will like, but others will hate. The only way to charge it out of the box, is to plug the M753 into your computers USB port. For those with no computer, this could be an awkward proposition. You can get a separate wall battery charger, but that of course is extra. Even if you do have a computer, this may not be the best camera for an extended trip. Unless you plan on dragging your desktop computer (aka: camera battery charger) with you. The exclusion of a battery meter doesn't really help much either.

While camera manufacturers seem thrilled to throw lots of megapixels into a camera, they really cheap out with internal memory. The M753 only has enough for a few pictures. Be sure to budget for an additional memory card, as a 7MP camera can fill up a small memory card pretty quick.

While I know, that less than $100 is not much for a camera these days, Kodak could have made the case a little stronger. An extra few millimeters of plastic can't cost that much can it? Or failing that, how about bundling the M753 with a protective carrying case. One that won't mess with the power switch would be nice.

In terms of image quality, don't set your expectations too high here. For less than $100, you don't really get much here. If your planning on only shooting outside on nice sunny days with plenty of natural light, you should be ok. Of course if you already have a phone camera, you'll probably get just as good pictures using that instead of an EasyShare M753.

Not the nicest review I know, but it's hard to say anything glowing about cameras in this category. I guess if you go through a lot of disposable cameras, the EasyShare M753 may be a better choice. Other than that, I'd scrounge another hundred bucks or so, and get a whole lot more camera. For another two hundred, you can actually get into some really amazing cameras. I'd start saving your pennies now.
