photography tips

just some photography tips that i have learnt in my studies so far. just wanted to share some of them with you and maybe they will help others. but if you would like to take some online photography classes the bbest place is new york institute of photography. i have learnt so much from them but i know i still like some more things to learn and needs to practice more. okay so here we go

tip one (or they call it guide line one) is Guideline One: What's my subject? this is what it says. when you are taken a photo think what is my subject. if you are taken a picture with a child in it. is the child your subject. what about a dog. is the dog your subject and so on.

tip two Guideline Two: How can I give emphasis to my subject? after you have decided on what your subject is going to be next is to figure out what is emphasis your subject.

tip three Guideline Three: How can I simplify my photograph? for this time you need to pay attention to your background. like is there something in the background and even foreground that is going to take a way from your subject. you dont want the background or other objects in the photo to take a way from your subject. what ever that subject maybe.

those three tips is what i try my hardest to stick to when i take a photo. there is some more that i am going to share with you that is pretty good also

tip four pay attention to your lighten. if you are taken a photo outside pay attention to the sun. do you really want a photo of your subject squinting. that is really not a appealing photo. no one wants a photo of theirselves squinting. if the sun is shining directly at your subject move them into a shade or with the sun behind them. or to the side of them.

tip five focus focus. make sure that your focus is going to your subject. also make sure that your subject is in focus. do you want a photo of yourself all out of focus.

tip six. exposure. keep a check on your exposure (i know i need more practice with this one. yes i am not afraid to emit where i need more practice at) you dont want to over exposure your photo or under exposure. most dslrs has it where you can pay attention to how the photo was exposured. you can also use a light meter (some cameras has a built in light meter ) or even a gray card to help with getting the correct exposure. but if you dont have either one of those you can also use like a poster board.

okay i think that is it for right now. i may do another blog about some photography tips later on. i hope that maybe i have helped some people and maybe just maybe one day soon i can get more practice in with my photography. i hope you all are doing good and is having a good safe fun summer so far.
