The July /August edition of Explore Canada’s Outdoor Magazine has an article that caught my eye – ” Shoot Like a Pro ” Compiled by George Nathan.. This article provides 63 tips by some of Canada’s top outdoor photographers… All these pro tips can be useful whether you own a point and shoot or DSLR camera.
Here are just a few tips mentioned by Mr. Nathan and the top outdoor photographers : a) For the best mirror reflection get low to the water -TK, b) take pictures of hikers in lines – JK, c) TK recommends 10 megapixals for point and shoot cameras because they have tiny sensors, d) if you buy a point and shoot camera get one that shoots as wide as 28 mm. You won’t miss wide angle shots. – JK and e) For editing photos, JAK recommends purchasing Adobe Lightroom ($300) rather than Adobe Photoshop ($700). Lightroom and Aperature programs can help you organize your photos properly.
You have about seven weeks to practice and try out these pro tips and others before the 7th Annual Hike the Highlands Festival – Sept. 10-19.
