Basics of photography

Yes, these two concepts are not important, but fundamental to any photographer by beginner that is. All we happened to take pictures too dark or too exposed, so you lose colors, shadows and details.
What we need to know is how light affects the exhibition of a film (or digital cameras, it is the same). It's easy! More amount of light in the scene, greater exposure. And on the contrary, there is much less light in the scene, less exposed will be the film.
Nowadays even compact cameras bring some manual options that allow you to modify the exposure immediately. Test! in general (it is the Tv option) You will immediately see the results are very different. Exposure is measured in seconds or milliseconds (X).
The composition is a fundamental aspect to take into account at the time of shooting. Look before you click and not! only through the lens of your camera Mess of va idea of composition is directly associated with the aim of "tell a story" or say something in particular, something different with our photo. Notes, for example, the Eiffel Tower, just on the internet there are more than 5 million photos, how will you do to yours be different?
And here is where we need to talk about angles, i.e. from where they photograph the object subject that we have in front of the camera.

As you can see in this picture we see the same statue from different angles and some are more interesting than others, all emphasizing different aspects of the statue. Interesting isn't it? The best thing you can do is take pictures from different angles to an object and then see how each photo says something different from what you've photographed. My favorite for these are the flowers!
Once you dominéis these basics you can pass to some things more complicated as the opening, the shutter speed and depth of field, for example.
