Tips And Tricks On How To Take Better Photos

By Al Huff


There are many different views on how to take high quality pictures. You can use these tips to perfect your photography skills.

If your subject matter is children, sometimes you just have to dive in and work with what they do and do your best to capture their energy and spirit. Children love to move around, so getting them sitting still all at once can be a big challenge. Capture pictures of kids running, jumping, making faces and being themselves. You'll probably have more fun taking these photos and the kids will cooperate better.

Try not to buy a camera that takes lithium batteries, especially if you are going to be traveling with it. Airport security bans carrying these batteries in your luggage because they've been shown to overheat, which can cause fire. However, lithium batteries that are in your camera should be able to be carried on board.

Add a new dimension to your photos with silhouettes. One of the most common ways to generate a silhouette is by using the sunset. However, other methods do exist. One way to have a silhouette appear is by choosing a background that is much brighter than your subject. You can establish artificial light in the background or position your subject before a source of light, such as a window, if you want to create a silhouette image. Remember that a glaring outline may be distracting or unflattering.

Your arms should be close against your body when you are holding the camera, and make sure your hands are on the sides and bottom of the camera. The idea here is to reduce the shaking caused by normal movements. The end result should be clearer photos. You can also keep your camera from slipping out of your hands by holding it from the bottom, rather than the top.

Before you click the shutter, think about the purpose of your shot. Some pictures just look better when they are shot vertically and vice versa. It is always possible to edit a shot, but don't give yourself extra work by using a poor angle.

Don't miss out on capturing a great image because you're fumbling with your camera's settings. For the best photographs, don't use the camera's presets since this removes your options of making adjustments. Experiment with the different settings so that you can take control of what your picture looks like.

Play with the manual white balance feature. While taking shots indoors, sometimes you get a yellowish color due to the light bulbs. If you adjust your camera's white balance, you will have better results with indoor shots. This will give your photo's a more professional looking appearance.

Use many different shutter speeds. Normally people use quick, action speeds, but slow shutters can do many fun things as well. See that bicyclist speeding by? The result you get is that the cyclist is sharp but the background is horizontally streaked, expressing speed.

One way to improve your own photography skills is to get inspiration by studying the work of other photographers. If you look at their photographs, you will get more ideas at what you can do.
