You take a lot of pictures but when it comes down to putting them into albums what do you do? It’s great to make scrapbooks but sometimes you don’t know where to begin. How do you sort out all the cute snaps you have taken? Well here are a few scrapbook ideas to get you started.

When the first cameras appeared they were large bulky items available only to the few who could afford them and understand the science of photography. To take a simple photograph you needed to understand both the mechanics of the gadget, some mathematics and a sound understanding of chemistry. Over the years the camera was developed into something which could be more accessible to ordinary folk. Eventually cameras became tiny little boxes which even children could operate but using film meant that once the photo had been taken it was necessary to have the film developed by a photo lab before we could see the results. These days we have the digital camera and there is no longer the need to send off film and most folk don’t even print our their photo’s but are they easy to understand?

Taking up digital photography can be a fun pursuit, but it’s worth a little time to learn more about what’s involved before you start committing funds to it (photography can be an expensive hobby).

A camera captures reflected light. If the light source is directly behind the camera, reflections bounce back directly off the subject and give an idea of its shape but not so much of its forms, scale and dimensions. But if lit from behind or from the side, the camera captures more light reflected off the subject’s angles. There are more brighter highlights and fewer shadow tones, contrast is higher and the subject’s shape and form become more distinct.
