Photography Ways to Take Pictures Like A Pro by Macy Toguchi
We have all played the role of photographer at some time. Most everyone takes photographs as a memento of special events birthday parties or family reunions. In the process whether you realized it or not you had to compose a photograph. That is you had to bring the subject of the picture into the frame with other elements in the environment to capture the photograph. The ability to compose a photograph comes naturally for some; others of us really have to work at it.
Two important first steps for beginners are to learn how to compose photographs & learn to improve technical skills. Photography is grand mixture of art & skill. If you lack in either artistry or skill it will be reflected in your photos.
One aspect of taking good photos is knowing where to stand. You have to develop an eye for which angle will take the best picture & where to place your subject in the frame. The smallest change can change a photo that would have been a mess into a masterpiece.
Newcomers to photography love to center every subject. This is great way to compose a photograph but it so overused why not try adding new dimensions to your photography by moving your subject slightly off center. A good way to master composition is to remember the rule of thirds. Many photographers rely on this concept to create composition. The idea is to divide the frame into three parts vertically & horizontally. Place the subject in one of the intersections & you will have created a balanced yet interesting new composition. This is general rule so remember that it doesn't apply to all photographs equally well.
Improve your technical skills with your camera will also help to improve your photos. The more you know about your camera the more creative ways you will discover to take photographs. The most important skill to master is focusing. You cannot salvage a blurry picture not even using digital enhancement. A blurry photograph may as well not have been taken that is how important it to learn to focus.
Another very common mistake for beginners is failure to understand proper exposure. Use your lighting conditions to your greatest benefit. Learning this is part art & part skill. The best way to learn this is to practice. For example you will learn that a flash is worthless more than 20 feet away form subject. If you are taking distance photos longer exposure with the use of a tripod to keep the camera steady is your best alternative.
The best thing you can do to improve your photography skills is practice & then practice some more. The more photographs you take the more your skills will improve. You'll be taking amazing photos in no time.
