Beginner or not, it is well possible for a photographer to take photos with a small meg digital camera that are not only creative, but good too. A wide variety of exciting images can be created with just a microscopic imagination and creativity. Potentially good photographers do not need costly equipment to take great pictures!
By using only your imagination and creativity and a small cheap camera, and by reading and using the tips here, dream how proud you'll be when somebody says to you, "That's a fantastic picture! What camera did you use?"
Cheap Picture Frames
Ha! You must remember that somebody could have an costly camera, and still take lousy pictures because they don't know too much about photography, haven't bothered to learn or enhance their skills, and are not creative.
They've set up their tripod and have taken a perfectly sharp image with no traces of any blurring in the final photo either it's been printed or is being viewed on a computer screen, but the mixture of the photo is lousy with the horizon in the scene cutting across the exact middle of the picture, or they have located the main branch of the photograph dead in the middle of the photograph's natural frame.
Using the thirds rule will result in an image with a much more exciting composition.
Think of the ocean and a striking sunset. Other than that gorgeous orange glow of the sun in the sky, the sky is otherwise boring, but the ocean has lovely warm reflections on it, filtering towards you on microscopic ripples of swells on the ocean. Now why would you want to put the horizon in the middle of your frame, and hide the extent of the orange glow on the water? Place that horizon line in your frame closer to the top of the frame - a third from the top, or even as close as a quarter from the top. Also, be sure to get it level!
Don't place the sun in the middle of that horizon either. Rather place it off to one side of the middle, but not right up against the edge of the frame either.
You don't have a tripod and are worried about a blurry photograph because of using a slow shutter speed to capture all that glorious light? Rest your elbows on the roof of your car to steady yourself. If no car is nearby, at least relax, take a deep breath, and as you let your breath out, click.
