Using a Digital Photo Camera is not all About Technique
Is it the digital photo camera that makes the photographer? How do great photographers get those great photos, is it because they have a great digital photo camera? It is not the digital photo camera that makes a good photographer. A good photographer is made because he has knowledge about the technology of his camera, but also because he has what is known as photo intuition.

Using your intuition with your digital photo camera allows you to know that a shot is going to be good before it is taken. Everyone has intuition, some people more than others. The key then in using you digital photo camera well, is learning to harness that intuition. Let your intuition take over when taking your photographs.

Why So Many of us Don't use Intuition When Using a Digital Photo Camera? The truth is that so many of us have great intuition and yet have stopped using it. The problem starts when we start learning the rules. The rules are a necessary part of photography, but what started you on this path was your intuition.

So many photographers start out using their intuition and find that they can take great photographs, then they start learning about composition, the rule of two thirds, lighting, etc and forget to use their intuition, because they become totally focused on the photography rules. So Why Worry about the Laws of Photography When Using a Digital Photo Camera? Like I mentioned before, it is important to know them and then forget about them. Why?
