The importance and usefulness of a skylight filter cannot be overestimated. Rather than a mere appendage, the filter offers real benefits to photographers. Everyone should have at least one. Preferably, they should have one for every lens they own. These should be permanently fixed to the filter thread.

Skylight filters are cheap, freely available and come in various filter thread sizes. You will have little trouble obtaining one but you must ensure the correct size to fit your lens. Everyone can afford one and there will be a filter to fit every lens (or almost).

The primary function of a skylight filter is to cut down excessive UV rays which, in turn, make scenes in the distance appear to have a blue haze. The filter effectively reduces the haze and blue colour cast. Pictures of hills and mountains in the distance look clearer.

The secondary function, and why you should have one on each lens, is that of protection. Like a lens cap, the skylight filter fits over the front of the lens and helps to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust. It also protects the lens from the effects of oily and greasy fingers, stick hands and from accidental knocks. It is much cheaper to replace a skylight than it is to replace a damaged lens.

The filter is very light and has no effect on the exposure value needed for your photography (they do not stop the normal amounts of light getting in).

A skylight filter is one simple piece of kit that can enhance your photography and protect your valuable assets.

Beginners Photography - How To Use Creative Auto Mode On Your Digital Slr!

In previous Beginners Photography articles I described the Automatic Modes of your Digital SLR. There will be times when the Automatic Modes are useful, but not quite giving you sufficient control over your image. This is where Creative Auto mode enters the equation. Whilst Creative Auto doesn't give you total control, you are able to adjust elements such as brightness, flash, background sharpness and drive modes.

The setting can be found on your Shooting Mode dial as the letters 'CA'. Changes are made via settings on the LCD display. These, in turn, are adjusted by using the camera's Multi-Controller (to highlight the function to be changed) and the Quick Control/Main dial (to scan through the options). Below are the options available from the LCD screen.

Flash - You can set flash to Auto, On or Off. In Auto, flash will fire whenever the camera determines there is insufficient light for the exposure. To fire the flash for every shot (e.g. when filling in shadows) choose the On option. The Off setting will prevent flash from firing.

Background Sharpness - This allows the camera to select a larger or smaller aperture to influence the depth of field. A small aperture (such as f/22) results in greater background sharpness. Moving the index point to the right gives you a sharper background, and to the left produces more blur.

Exposure - If pictures are lighter or darker than you want, select exposure setting. Moving the point to the right increases exposure, producing a lighter image. To the left exposure is reduced with a resultant darker image.

Picture Style - Choosing this setting allows you to affect the sharpness, contrast and colour saturation levels. Four Picture Styles are available. Standard is most commonly used to achieve a sharp, vivid picture. Portrait produces smoother skin tones. Landscape produces vivid blues and greens. Monochrome can be chosen to shoot in black and white.

Quality - This setting allows you to adjust the quality of the JPEG image, or to choose RAW format for ultimate quality. RAW produces larger files, but allows for intense levels of adjustments in post-production. You can refer to my previous Beginners Photography articles related to Photoshop post-production techniques.

Drive Mode - This allows for three options. With Single-shooting, the camera takes one single shot when the shutter has been fully depressed. In Low-speed continuous shooting (sports or action shots) the camera continually takes photos until you release the button. The rate of photographs taken varies from camera to camera (a Canon50D, for example, takes some three frames per second in this mode). In Self-Timer the shot fires around ten seconds after the shutter is depressed. This allows you to get in the picture yourself, but is also useful for Landscape or Macro work, in conjunction with a tripod, to prevent camera shake.

So hopefully you can see that, once you are using Creative Mode, you are beginning to assert some influence on the resulting image - rather than using full Automatic Mode and allowing the camera to dictate. For beginners, photography can be about trial and error, and the beauty of digital is that it doesn't matter how many attempts you need to get it right - any images that are not up to standard can be deleted later.

do digital slr camera get cheaper on black friday? and how cheap? the only thing it has to have is 10 pm or more
i want more mp for more quality in pictures, because i will be making large prints of my photography, maby not bilbord size but poster size

You mean 10mp and why do you need more? Are you planning on making billboard sized pics or cropping way down for some reason? If you are hoping that more mp = higher quality pictures then forget it. More mp only help to retain quality when printing big or cropping.
