Basic Photography
Some Photos are just better than others.
Why are the Photos on the right just better than the ones on the left?...Well there are many reasons but if you keep three things in mind as you take your photos it will go a long way to taking stronger photos.
The first and strongest rule of composition is:
The Rule of Thirds
If you put your points of interest along the third lines then it will create a stronger composition.
The Second is
Focus
Make sure that the point of interest is always in focus
The Last Golden Rule is:
Light
Light from the side is usually far more photogenic than light that comes straight down.
So avoid taking photos in the middle of the day.
Mornings as the sun is rising and evenings when the sun is low on the horizon is the best time to take the best photos.
Never use flash. And when I say never, that means 99% of the time.
This photo is meh. Why?
This photo is better, why?
This photo is even better. why?
