Advanced Tips For Taking A better Image

By Bernard Bell


Here are some suggestions to make you a better photographer.

Alter the Lighting

Using natural light will give better skin tones when photographing folk, so try hard not to use the flash if you do not have to. Outside light shots are straightforward, but you will need to be a little more creative when shooting indoors. Try using the light coming in from a window for warmer tones than you would get using the flash.

Experiment with natural lighting. It is possible to get stronger shadows by moving your subject closer to a window, and turning your subject can create more dramatic shadows.

Eliminate Red-Eye

Red-eye is the result of light passing thru your subject's eye and reflecting back. You'll get it more frequently when using your flash, because the light from the flash is not as diffused as natural light. So that the first tip for eliminating red-eye is just to avoid using your flash when you don't completely have to.

An alternative way to reduce red-eye is to have your subject look anywhere but at the camera. This reduces red-eye because any reflection isn't directed back at your camera lens.

If you have got to use the flash, some digicams have a built-in feature to instantly remove red-eye. Use it.

Go for Candid

Rather than posing 2 (or even more) folk looking without delay at the camera, get a drop of them interacting with each other. Even 2 folks having a conversation is more engaging than having them stand next to one another facing the camera. Some of the finest pro portraits have the topic caught deep in thought with their attention targeted inward, instead of on the camera lens.

It makes for a more interesting shot. Your portrait will seem much more natural - less posed.

Create a Scene

Putting your subject in the center of a photograph is just uninteresting. You'll get a way more pleasing result if you place your subject off center when you frame the shot.

This is a really professional methodology. Place your subject in order that they occupy 1/3 to 1/2 of the total composition, though Not at the precise center of the frame. Capture an interesting background object in the remainder of the frame.

Anyone can practice these techniques. They're easy and you'll get better, more pro photographs.
