DSLR VS P&S PHOTOGRAPHY TUTORIAL

{Edited to add:} All shots with the Nikon Coolpix were taken in auto while the shots taken with the 30D were taken in manual mode around these settings. 250ISO 125SS 2.5F.

I recently posted this status (shown below) on Facebook and after thinking about it I thought I should give you a visual example. So what I did is I took pictures of my son using my Canon 30Dw/50mm 1.8 and then shot him with my husbands Nikon Coolpix. Same day, lighting, time, etc... I wanted to show how you can get very comparable results from a point and shoot camera to those taken with an expensive dslr. The KEY is in knowing LIGHT, what good light looks like, where to find it, how to position your subject and how to use your camera. Whether you are using an expensive dslr or a inexpensive point and shoot learn it INSIDE OUT. You CAN take great pictures with whatever you have! Today's point and shoot quality is soooo much better than it used to be so unless you an old P&S or have a $20 one you should be able to get good shots with it. Now of course since I am a photographer I prefer the shots taken with my 30D but seriously, who wouldn't be happy with the shots taken with the Coolpix? Especially if you consider the convenience of being able to stick it in your pocket. ;) Ok, so onto my facebook status and then the pics...

Photography tip of the day: It amazes me at how many people are carrying around a huge dslr. If I didnt know how to properly use it I would have a nice Phd, err P&S camera that would fit in my pocket. Because truthfully if you don't know how to use it (you can tell by all the flashes popped up) the photos you get from it will be the same quality as a point and shoot.

All pictures were edited the exact same way! These photo's below are SOOC (straight out of camera).
