Canon EOS T2I tips #1

The Canon T2i also known as the 550d is a great camera for digital photography enthusiast's and those just starting a photography business. With a little practice and allot of patience you can get amazing photos and video from this camera.

Tip #1 for the T2i is to read the owners manual and become familiar with all the controls. Now you may be saying well duh! However too many people just grab the camera switch to one of the automatic modes and start shooting. The automatic modes are good but you will begin to realize that you are very limited in what you can accomplish.

Finally don't be afraid to experiment with different settings. Just remember what you did and try to understand why those settings gave you the results that they did. Also your camera came with a log book so I suggest, at least in the beginning that you use it. Writing down what settings worked may help you understand why later.

Want to be a model?

I am always amazed by the fact that young women and men respond to ads posted on sites such as Craig's list that claim they are looking for models for "legitimate" modeling jobs. They almost always ask for photos of the models wearing next to nothing and sometimes even ask for nude photos. Here is a little hint to any of you that want to get into modeling.

If the spelling and grammar are terrible in the add then Do Not send in photos that show your face. Most importantly do not give out your personal information such as address or phone number. In this day and age it is just too risky and any legitimate photographer is going to make sure that there post, no matter where it is listed is of the highest quality possible.

I hope to have more photography related posts coming soon but I could not wait to post this information.

Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas.
