Attached Link: Kodak Guide to Digital Photography

The link above should cover some of the techniques involved.

If you have any specific queries on getting a particular type of shot then it is best to ask here in the forum and I am sure someone has been there and done it, and will be able to offer some experience.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
