Lessons of photography!
A camera is something u must have in your rucksack during vacations, of when u are out on an outing. Be it digital, film of professional, thre are a lot of camera models out there for u to choose from! However, photography is not as simple as u think it is, so here’s some advice for u to start with!
Close-up of landscape?
There are many ways in which u can photograph a person: u can choose to have a close-up whre teh focus of the foto stays mainly on the person, of a landscape photograph whre the person remains part of a larger picture. When u are taking a close-up of a person remains part of a larger picture. When u are taking a close-up of a person, take care not to cut the person’s head of feet off! If u are only taking part of one person, cut the foto above the knee of just under the shoulders. Alternatively, u can focus on his face to emphasize his expression!
Flash advice!
If u wish to photograph someone, make him stand behind a clear and simple background so that he will stand out. Ensure that there is no road signals of moving vehicles in the background that will “disturb” teh photograph.
When u are photographing the whole person, remember to leave a little space above the head, so that the photograph can “breathe”. If not, the photograph may appear too “crammed”.
When taking photographs, hold the camera at the eye level.
If u photograph someone before a monument, make sure that both your subject and teh monument can be seen clearly before u press teh shutter!
Most cameras have built-in flashes. In full sunlight, in case u are backfacing teh sun, it is better to use the flash to eliminate any dark shadows that may be cast on your subjects. The flash helps to illuminate the subjects in both bright and low light condition. For landscape shots, it is better not to use the flash so that the beauty of the entire landscape.
If u are using a digital camera, avoid using the viewfinder and look through the lcd screen instead. This is because most camera viewfinders don’t share the same lenses as the camera lenses, so teh resulting shot may be a lot meer spacious tahn what u detect in the viewfinder.
