Tips for Taking Digital Photos
Tips for Taking Digital Photos
- Use the Rule of Thirds - Imagine four lines, two lying horizontally across the image and two vertical creating nine even squares. Some images will look best with the focal point in the center square, but placing the subject off-center at one of the intersecting points of the imaginary lines will often create a more aesthetically composed photograph.
- Avoid Camera Shake - use both hands, one around the body and one around the lens and hold the camera close to your body for support. Make sure that you are using a shutter speed that is appropriate for your lens’ focal length. If you’re shutter speed is too slow, any unintentional movement of the camera will result in your entire photograph coming out blurry.
- Create a Sense of Depth - Placing an object or person in the foreground helps give a sense of scale and emphasizes how far away the distance is.
- Use Simple Backgrounds
- Do not use Flash Indoors - Flash can look harsh and unnatural especially for indoor portraits
- Understand Light - Soft or Hard Lighting - Mastering Light Video
- The Golden Hour -The period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. Golden Hour Video
