10 Tips for taking better photos
Posted by Bodi on April 30, 2008
1. Unequal Space-Do not put the main subject exactly in the center of the picture.Vary the space between the subject and the edges of the picture.
2. Framing:Try to get creative.Use elements that are in front of you to compose the picture.This helps the viewer`s eye to look at the subject.
3:Leave some empty space:Intentionally leave some empty space in your photos.
4. Cropping:Crop the picture after you take it.You can often have elements in your picture that should be removed for a better photo.
5:Horizon:Do not put your horizon line exactly in the center of your photo.
6:Depth of field: Draw the viewer`s eye in and back through the image.Use various elements in the composition that accentuate image depth.
7:Ugly can be beautiful:Stop for a moment and expand your horizon of beauty.Take a closer look at subjects around you.
8:Light painting: Use longer exposure times and draw using light in your photo.You can create dramatic and new effects.
9:Lighting: Explore various angles of light until you get the best possible image.
10:Flash: It`s best to use flash during day shots, not night,as you probably thought.
