Take Photographs Like A Professional With These Great Tips

By Dan Feildman




Undoubtedly there is no other industry that has been hit with such a tremendous growth over the past 20 years than the electronics field.

Technology has changed many things but no where is it more evident than with digital photography. Digital photographs give instant access to the photos you have taken and has eliminated the need for and film processing.

Practically anyone can purchase a camera and start taking pictures by framing a subject and clicking away at the button; especially with the use of a digital camera which offers an array of functions that allow you to perform various tasks. This includes taking instantaneous pictures. Digital cameras can also store images which you can later put into your computer, which then you may print, distribute to your friends via email, or upload on your website.

But to those who take photography seriously and view photography as more of an art form; taking photographs is not just a matter of clicking at a button to take pictures. To them this task requires more planning and effort.

Here is a list of tips for taking better pictures

1. When shooting outdoors during bright, sunny, days it would be best to use a flash. This will get rid of the shadows that sometimes appear on the faces of subjects on photographs.

2. Highlight your subjects with appropriate backgrounds. If your background is too fussy or distracting you will take the eye off the main subject and potentially ruin your photograph.

3. To avoid having strangers in your photos pay attention to what is going on around you. Try to take the photo when there are no distractions.

4. Voice your intention prior to taking a photograph. Giving your subjects direction will help you get the shot you are looking for the first time. This is especially important if you are photographing an important event such as a ceremony or function. Make sure you get the photos you want by telling your subjects to smile, ask them to fix their hair if it's unruly, etc.

5. When taking outdoors shots photographers should avoid going head to head with the sun. This makes the people in the picture appear as if they are enshrouded in shadows!

6. Take candid shots! This is a more exciting alternative to dull, boring, posed shots. During parties try to take pictures of friends and family while they are at ease and just having a great time.

With a bit of practice and patience everyone can take great photos and make the precious fleeting moments of everyday life lasts a lifetime.
