Whether you consider yourself an amateur photographer or need to be a better videographer, or you simply wish to create better family stills, there are plenty of things you can do to improve pictures. Here are some simple tips to employ the next time you head out with your digicam.
Even a newb can take professional-looking photos – OK for framing.
Be Prepared
Keep all of your photography hardware ready for use. Collect everything you'll need into one place. A camera bag is ideal, because it keeps all of your stuff together and lets you carry it all with you. Everything in its place. A good camera bag will let you arrange a small tripod, extra batteries, memory cards, etc. – even a plastic carrier bag or water resistant housing to protect your camera in wet weather.
Hold your Camera Steady
Blurry snaps are almost always the results of camera movement. Just your own unsteadiness, causes your camera to shake enough to blur your pictures.
So steady yourself and your camera before you take the shot.
Plant your feet strongly on the ground and tuck your elbows in close to your sides. In place of utilising the LCD spectator, steady your camera against your forehead and frame the shot using your camera’s view-finder. You can steady your shoulders and chest by leaning against a wall or a tree. Or totally eliminate any camera movement by using a tripod.
Once you are all set, softly press the shutter release in one motion. Pressing the shutter release too hard could jerk the camera downward.
Get Closer
One difference in “snapshots” and great photographs is the composition of the shot. Unless you're shooting an outdoor landscape, you can improve most photos just by getting nearer to your subject. Dependent on the situation, you can physically move nearer to your subject, or use the zoom feature on your camera for a similar effect. Try to get within just a few feet of your subject so you eliminate almost all of the background. You will like the result.
Take more Photos
Even execs take loads of shots of the same subject – to get only a few that they'll use. With a digicam, you can delete the photographs you don't like, and only print the winners – so don’t hesitate to take a few shots of the same subject. Change the angle of the shot. Get a little closer. Adjust the lighting.
Why not fill the entire memory card with pictures of your kid at the pool, or your girl in her cap and robe? The more pictures you take, the better the odds that you'll get one or two shots that may actually thrill you.
