RULE OF THIRDS

This technique is called rule of thirds. When you use this technique you line up the focus points of your pictures on the intersections of a grid. I really like this photo because his knee, foot, and elbow all line up  on the grid.

FILL THE FRAME
This technique is called fill the frame. It is pretty self explanitory, all you do is zoom in on your subject either by moving really close or using your zoom, and photograph only your subject. I really like this photograph because of the color and how well the lighting is.

WORMS EYE VIEW

When you take a picture looking up you are using a technique called "worms eye view." Taking pictures from the worms eye view gives pictures a neat effect. I picked this picture to share with you because I like the angle it is taken from.

Photography Tips 9 and 10!!!

Photography tip nine is to watch your lighting. Depend on where the sun is in relation to you, your subject, and your camera, your picture could turn out really dark if there is too much sun. The way to prevent this is, if  you take a picture and it comes out too dark or too light, switch places with your subject. This way the lighting will look better in your picture!















Photography tip ten is to be a picture director! This is a really fun tip. When you are taking group pictures you want everyone to be seen right? So, instead of leaving gaps in between the people's faces, arrange them where they are closer together and in a neat pattern!

Photography Tips 7&8!!!

Tip seven is "Move it from the middle." This is something that is really easy to do, and it takes very little effort. When you are about to take a picture, all you have to do is move the camera an inch or two to the left, so that your subject is not centered. This draws the eye to the picture,  and is more pleasing. It also creates dynamic photos. I live this tip because you can use it all the time, and it is very simple to do.

Tip eight is "know your flash." Although it is more of a reminder than a tip, it is important to know your flash when taking pictures. Because flash has a limited distance, there is no use to use your flash when your subject is far away. Check to see what your flash range is by standing ten feet away from your subject, in a dark room, and take a picture. Then step forward a foot and take another until you get a well-lit picture. And remember... KNOW YOUR FLASH!!!
