PHOTOGRAPHY!!!
now i present you the 10 tips for better photography
1)get down on their level
hold your camera at the subject's eye level to capture the power of those magnetic gazes and mesmerizing smiles
for kids and pets that means getting down on their level to take the picture.They don't really have to look directly into the camera,as the eye level angle by itself will create a personal inviting feeling.
2)use a plain background
before taking a picture subject,check the area behind your object.
lookout for trees or poles sprouting from your subject's head
a cluttered background will be distracting while in a plain background will emphasize your subject.
3)lock the focus
lock the focus to create a sharp picture of off-center subjects
center the subjects
press the shutter button half way down
re-frame your picture[while still holding the shutter button]
finish by pressing the shutter button will find the way
4)use flash outdoor
even outdoors,use the fill flash setting on the camera to improve your pictures
use bright sunlight to lighten dark shadows under the eyes and nose,especially when the sun is directly overhead or behind your subject.
use it on cloudy days,to brighten up faces and make them stand out from background
5)take some vertical pictures
many subjects look better in a vertical picture-from the eiffel tower to portraits of your friends.
make a conscious effort to turn our camera sideways and take some vertical pictures
6)move it from the middle
bring your picture to life simply by placing your subject off-center
imagine a tic-tac-toe grid in your viewfinder.Now place your subject at one of the intersection lines
since most cameras focus on whatever in the middle,remember to lock the focus on your subject before framing the shot.
7)move in close
to create impactful pictures,move in close and fill your picture with the subject
move a few steps closer or use the zoom until the subject fills the viewfinder.You will eliminate background distractions and show off the details in your subject.
for small objects,use the camera's macro or "flower" mode to get sharp close-ups.
8)watch the light
great light make great pictures.Study of effects of light in your pictures
for people pictures,choose the soft lighting of cloudy days.Avoid overhead sunlight that cast harsh shadows across faces.
for scenic pictures,use the long shadow and color of early and late daylight
9)know your flash range
pictures taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dull.
for many cameras that's only ten feet about four steps away.Check your manual to be sure
If the subject is further than ten feet from the camera,the picture may be too dark.
