Digital Photography Basics

While the underlying principles of exposure aren't too complicated to understand, actually mastering the art of exposure takes a lot of practice. In fact, even some of the best photographers are constantly changing and experimenting with their settings as they go. The great thing about digital photography, though, is that you can just keep snapping away, and practicing, taking dozens of photos at a time, at no extra cost. Not only that, but they also generally have semi-automatic modes, such as shutter priority, and aperture priority, which let's you play with one or two of the elements, while the camera works out the rest.

When it comes to capturing good action shots - whether a teen's latest skateboard maneuver or Fido's latest antic - one of the most important digital photography basics to consider is shutter lag.
