Hold the Camera Correctly and Avoid Shaking
1.Take Care of Lighting
Whatever light source is available, such as the sun's
rays during the day and the light of a bulb at night - you try to get that
light to fall on your subject in the right way. For this, you can adjust your
position, the position of the subject or the direction of the light. Under
normal circumstances, make sure that the light is falling in front of your
subject, not behind the subject. But, by breaking this rule, you can also take
artistic pictures by playing with the light. For example, this photo taken with
the setting red sun behind the subject.
After lighting in photography, there is no better thing
in photography than taking a photo as close as possible to the subject. In a
photo taken close to the subject, your subject emerges in front and such a
photo leaves a different impression on the mind of the beholder. By moving
closer to the subject, the subject remains in front of the frame and the
subject gets more space. This can also be done with the help of a zoom lens,
but it would be better if you move the camera closer to the subject. That is,
'Instead of zooming the lens, zoom by walking with your feet'. So, get close to
your subject to capture the best shot!
Taking a photo at eye-level means keeping the camera at
roughly the same height as the subject while taking the photo. For example,
let's say you are about to take a picture of a child kneeling on the ground,
you should crouch down to the height of the child, sitting on the ground
yourself. With this, your camera remains horizontal to the ground while focused
on the subject. The picture taken in this way is attractive. Also, the long
background appears behind the subject which adds a beautiful effect to the
photo.
4. Take Care of the Background
Background, that is, the part behind your main subject.
The background of the photo has a big hand in making or spoiling the photo. We
have deliberately discussed the background at number three. In a beautiful and
effective photo, it matters a lot what is the background of your subject and
how it is shown. When you get close to your subject and take a photo at
eye-level, you easily get a beautiful plain background with shallow Depth of
Filed behind the subject. Now, if you focus the camera on the subject from such
an angle that something like a beautiful colorful object, a green bush or a
blue sky comes behind it, then believe me your photo will be in four moons.
5. Pay Attention to Composition
Composition in photography refers to the arrangement of things within the frame according to the interest and vision of the photographer. The arrangement of all the elements of the scene within the frame should be such that the viewer finds them interesting and keeps the eye on the photo. Any picture, if it cannot keep the eyes of the beholders fixed on it, then it is a weak picture.
At the time when you are shooting a scene or subject, at
the same time you have to compose the frame. That is, you have to decide what
to put in the scene and where to put it. It is not always possible for the
photographer to arrange things to his liking.
For example, if you're shooting in a studio, you have
control over your subject, so you can arrange them the way you want to create
the perfect frame, which isn't possible in wildlife, landscape or street
photography. In these situations, you have to compose the frame by changing
your position. So, you should compose the frame by changing your location and
camera angle for interesting and desired frame. Keeping the Rule of Thirds in
mind can be very useful when composing frames.
6. Adopt Different Perspectives
In photography, viewing a subject from different angles
is called perspective. Photos taken from different angles of the same subject
give different effects. In this way, by changing the perspective, you can take
great interesting pictures of even a simple subject, and in this way the same
subject can be shown in many different ways. It is up to you to decide from
which angle the picture taken gives a new look to your photo different from
other pictures of the same subject.
7. Hold the Camera Correctly and Avoid Shaking
The camera should be stable while taking the photo. So hold the camera properly. Camera shake affects the sharpness of the picture. Your hand as well as your body needs to be steady for a sharp photo. The body should be balanced on both the legs in a comfortable posture. If possible, you can give extra support to the body by leaning on things like wall, tree, car. Means, while taking the photo, the camera has to be saved from moving as much as possible.
If you are photographing people, animals or your stomach, try to focus on their eyes. The eyes of a person or an animal are the most attractive point of a photo. This is especially taken care of in portrait photography
Connecting with the subject means getting close to it and
making it comfortable to face the camera. The viewer automatically associates
with the subject facing the camera or photographer. Emotion is reflected in
such photographs and the viewer's connection with your subject brings life to
your photograph. So, connect with your subject wherever possible. Communicate
with them and let them become comfortable with your presence and your camera's
presence before pressing the shutter.
Having a story in a photo means that there should be some
elements in the photo that raise questions like 'what', 'where' 'who' in the
viewer's mind or get answers to such questions. Something interesting should be
seen happening in the frame that the viewer's mind should be curious to know
the story behind the picture. Seeing the picture in the viewer's mind, if some
imagination takes shape, some feeling arises, then such pictures can be called
a picture that tells something, that is, a 'story-telling' photo.
Getting a photo clicked is a thing that happens in a jiffy. Often something goes wrong, something is left out. For example, the camera may move while clicking, the focus of the camera or your balance may deteriorate, the position of the subject may change or suddenly an unwanted object may appear in the frame. Therefore, it is safe to take two or three shots in a row.
