Taking Better Pictures
Take Better Pictures With Your Digital Camera.
Today’s cameras make taking pictures a lot easier than the one’s of
yesterday.
There is always room for improvement,however.
Use the following tips to help make your photos go from acceptable to
great.
1. Always be aware of the background.You don’t want to find trees
growing out of people’s heads or a passing vehicle to draw attention
from your subject. Sometimes moving your subject just a couple steps to
either side can make all the difference.
2. Use available light. If your digital camera has an option to turn
the flash off and it’s light enough outside to read a book then use the
available light and turn the flash off. In general camera flashes are
too harsh for human skin and make all of us look pale. Indoors, where
there isn’t enough daylight, place your subject by a window and use
your fill flash feature.
3. Aim your camera slightly down at the person’s face. Also don’t shoot
just face on to the person, try a little to the side, a three quarter
view, so that you see more of their face. Remember camera higher
looking down and a three quarter view, it will slim your subject.
4. Remember your focus. Get closer to your subject. Fill the frame with
your subject and there will be no doubt as to what the picture is
saying.
5. Never put your subject dead center. Put your just slightly off
center; not a lot just a little. When you’re shooting groups of people,
find the imaginary center line of your group and put that line just a
bit off center in your view through your lens or screen.
Following these tips won’t turn you into an award-winning photographer
today,but you will be on your way to better, more powerful photographs
that others will comment on for years to come.
