How To Keep Your Digicam Clean Keeping your digital camera clean is key to making sure it always takes the best pictures possible. It’s not difficult to do and requires maybe fifteen to twenty minutes of your time. By making sure that there is no dirt, dust, or grime all over your investment, it will continue to perform for many years to come. Never perform any extensive cleaning on your digital camera by yourself. Always make sure that you take it to a professional and have it done. There are many interior pieces that could easily be damaged by someone who does not know what they are doing. Also, make sure that you check the batteries in your camera on a regular basis to ensure that they are no leaking any corrosive materials into the camera. Replace them regularly to ensure that this does not happen. The lens is one of the most important parts of your digicam and you always want to make sure that you avoid touching it if possible. The oils in your skin can leave streak marks on it that is very difficult to get off. If you do need to clean the lens, hold your digicam upside down and gently blow any dust and dirt off of it. Place a few drops of cleaning fluid onto a soft dry cloth and clean the lens. Never place the fluid directly on the lens and never clean the lens dry. Also, never clean the interior or exterior of your digicam with canned air. Digicams are not air tight and there have been cases where consumers who have used canned air have blown dust onto the back part of the lens that cannot be reached for cleaning except by a professional. You can use the same cloth to gently and carefully clean the rest of the camera’s exterior. If the camera has an LCD screen on the back, make sure you clean it with fluid that will not scratch the screen or leave streak marks. A micro fiber cloth is the best thing to clean electronics such as your digicam and if you use one specifically for your camera, store in a plastic baggie to keep excess dirt and dust from getting on it. Swatches from an old cotton t-shirt also make great rags that are good for cleaning your digicam. If you know that you will not be using your digicam for an extended length of time, you should always clean it and store it someplace that is free from condensation. Remove the memory chip and batteries and store them in separate locations within the camera bag. Pack your digicam properly in its case to make sure that it does not get damaged in case of accident while it’s being stored.

Earning Money With Your Digicam Taking photos with a digicam is a hobby to many people around the world. There are plenty of opportunities to actually earn some money by simply taking pictures. If you have an eye for photography – and those pictures everyone talks about and loves says you do – then you could start picking up some extra cash by simply using your camera. You do not need to be a professional or even have taken photography classes. You don’t even need a lot of expensive equipment. All you need is a good digital camera, some imagination, and a steady hand. Take your digicam wherever you go and practice taking a variety of pictures. Shoot landscapes or animals, buildings, flowers, abstract art, people…it doesn’t matter what you take a picture of. It could be the most boring thing on the face of the earth. What does matter, however, is the presentation. Make the pictures interesting. Practice by snapping so many pictures in a day that you fill up the chip on your camera. If you have a 2GB chip, you can take close to 600 high-resolution pictures a day. And when you download the pictures from your digicam, you’ll find plenty that you want to keep. The beauty of a digicam is that you can delete the pictures you don’t like either from the camera or from the computer without shelling out development money. This is why you should also feel free to play with some of the different picture taking options your camera gives you. Try taking a picture in black and white or sepia tones. See what the difference between the actions (or sports) and plain portrait setting is. Try the nighttime setting. Don’t be afraid of exploring the options on your camera. If you know your camera well and what it is capable of doing, you’ll be able to take more interesting photos when you start trying to earn some money. Obviously running your own photography studio may not be the most lucrative venture right off the bat. But there is nothing that says you have to be limited to taking portrait photos. Start out by taking some photos of local landmarks and offering them for sale on places such as e-Bay for the cost of printing or processing the picture and adding an inexpensive frame to it. Offer to shoot some pictures of your next door neighbor’s daughter’s birthday party, or for a friend’s family reunion. If you pick up a professional client, always make sure you take photos at different angles so that you get a wide variety to choose from. Finally, take some of your favorite photos and post them on the Internet at places like TodaysPhotos.org. This can help get you some exposure as a photographer and maybe even a couple of paying jobs to get you started.
