Taking a good photo isn't as hard as you may think. You don't need the most expensive camera or years of experience, you just simply need to know 10 tips.
Tip 1 - Study Your Manual - This should be a must for improving your photography skills. Get to know your camera. If your camera has a special night time mode, read the manual and follow their instructions on how to use it properly.
Tip 2 - Use Every Frame Space Available - Do not be afraid to utilize each of the space within your photo. If you need to take photo of an object, it really is ok for it to take up the entire shot with most of the space. This can avoid distractions out of the shot.
Tip 3 - Study Forms and Shapes - This is a vital aspect to photography. Gain an understanding of forms and shapes composition in your photos. Don't see an object, see its shape and its composition and find the best angle to photograph it from. Form and shapes are all around us in our world. Read up as many books on them as possible. It will amaze you once you understand the beauty of forms and shapes composition.
Tip 4 - Get Closer To your Subject - This is a fundamental mistake most photographers make, taking picture too far away from their subject. Please do get close and personal. Close the distance gap. You'll be able to crop an excellent shot but you cannot magnify a distant object without trading off the quality of the picture.
Tip 5 - Learn To Use Contrasts Among Colors - Some of the best photos have shades of white, gray and black. You can take great shots with just one color on your subject, but the contrasts between colors in a shot is what makes it a great photo.
Tip 6 - Motion In your Pictures - By no means have motion inside your pictures should you be photographing a non-motion object. If there is anything moving when you happen to be in the process of photographing a stationery object, your photo will not turn out anywhere close to acceptable. Also never ever place a horizonal line in the center of one's frame. It should really be on the lower or upper third in the picture.
Tip 7 - Shutter Lag Time - Shooting action shots with a digital camera could be tricky due to shutter lags. What this signifies is, once you press the shutter release button to take the photo, it may take as much as a second for the shutter to take a photo, by that time what you were photographing would have moved or changed somehow. This indicates you will need to compensate for shutter lag by predicting what your subject is going to accomplish and taking the photo just ahead of it takes the action you'd like. High priced name brand digital cameras do not have this problem.
Tip 8 - Panning - For anyone who is taking an action shot using slower shutter speed, use panning for special effect. Follow the object by moving (panning) the camera from start to finish. One of those shots will likely turned out to be spectacular. You have great chance of getting a good shot if you take multiple photos.
Tip 9 - Continuous Shots - To pan like I suggested above you will need a camera that does continuous shots and doesn't need to stop and process after every shot.
Tip 10 - How To Take Fantastic Night Time Shots - Night time shots can be spectacular, almost magical if done right. If not they can look horrible. Without adequate lighting, even a good camera can turn out really bad pictures if the photographer doesn't know what he or she is doing.
Have fun photo taking!
