Perhaps you want to start taking pictures or want to take more interesting ones. What a great idea! Listed below you will see some great tips on how you can begin your photography journey.
Make sure you have a good sense of depth when shooting landscapes. Get a sense of scale by having a person or object placed in the foreground. Setting a small aperture, no greater than f/8 with most consumer digital cameras or f/16 with a full-frame SLR, will provide sharpness to both the foreground and background.
Some good advice is to be sure to actively search out other photographers, and look at their work for inspiration. By taking the time to view the art created by other photographers, you will be inspired and reminded of all the different ways a subject can be shown in one single shot.
It is a common misconception that a sunny day is perfect for photos. In reality, taking photos in the direct sun is one of the easiest ways there is to ruin an image. Direct sunlight not only causes glare and unpleasant shadows, but it also creates irregular highlights and makes your subjects squint if they facing the sun. If you can, try to choose late evening or early morning light to shoot outdoors.
Many photographers pay attention to the background of a landscape shot and neglect the foreground, but the foreground is what the viewer will see. Compose the foreground so that it creates a striking frame to increase your depth of field.
If taking pictures with people in them, blur the background slightly. A heavy focus on the background may draw your viewer’s attention away from your subject. Blur your background to keep it from detracting from your central subject.
Indoor florescent lighting scenes will require white balance adjustments. If you don’t compensate for the missing red tones, photographs taken under fluorescent lighting will end up with a cooler tone caused by the bluish-green light.
Practice Shots
When working with new backdrops and subjects, plan on taking lots of shots to practice. Every photographic opportunity is different, and taking several practice shots can help you figure out the best way to approach the picture. Lighting can change often, do not be afraid to take more practice shots in between your actual pictures.
If the subject of your picture ends up with red eyes, you are not going to frame that shot. Red eye is the result of using flash, so turn off the flash feature if you don’t need it. If the use of flash is required, try to have your subjects avoid looking directly into the camera lens. Some cameras are also equipped with an easy to use red eye feature.
You need to understand where sharpness appears in your photographs, and how it works. For the most part, sharpness is at its zenith around the center of a lens and image. Be sure that your edges fade appropriately as the subject edges towards the boundaries of the frame.
When you are taking close-up photographs, be mindful which type of zoom feature you are using. A lot of cameras let you zoom closer than the optics alone can handle, but image quality starts deteriorating when digital features are enabled. Digital mode interpolates pixels and adds them to the image, resulting in decreased image quality. You may be able to disable digital zoom in your camera; check your owner’s manual.
You should now have some basic photography tips and tricks under your belt. Take your time experimenting with as many aspects of photography as possible, and you will quickly find you are better with a camera than ever before. These tips should have helped you so that you can improve your photography skills.
