6 Tips to Click Great Pictures

Have you just taken up photography and want to
become an expert photographer? All you need is a
bit of experience and a few tips that can help
you to take amazing photos. Following are some
tips that can offer help while taking pictures
3
Look the person in the eye
Remember that eye contact made directly is
engaging not only in real life, but also in
photos. While clicking an image, place the camera
at the subjects eye level to capture their
magnetic looks and mesmerizing smiles. Reach down
on the ground if the subjects are children. Ask
the person to stare directly into the camera. Eye
level angle creates an inviting and personal
feeling that pulls everyone into the picture.
4
Try TO USE A PLAIN BACKGROUND
A plain background ensures that all the focus
stays on the subject you are photographing. Try
to study the area around your subject, while
looking through the viewfinder.
5
Flash should be used outdoors
Unattractive and deep facial shadows can be
created by bright sun. By using the flash,
shadows can be eliminated to lighten the face.
Turn the camera flash on, when clicking photos of
people on sunny days. If your camera has
fill-flash mode, then you can use that option on
cloudy days. The faces of people will be
brightened and it will make them stand out. As a
backup option, you can also opt to click a photo
without flash.
6
Move in close
If the person whose picture youre clicking is
smaller than a car, then its recommended that
you should move in closer and zoom in before
capturing the image. This helps to fill up the
image with the person youre photographing. By
moving closer, you can get a more elaborate image
that has details such as an arched eyebrow or a
sprinkle of freckles. But, don't get too close as
it can make the images blurry.
7
Lock the focus
To create a sharp picture, you should lock the
focus if the person youre photographing is not
in the centre of the picture. Majority of
auto-focus cameras automatically set focus on
whatever present in the centre of the picture.
But sometimes, you move the subject away from
centre to improve the look and feel of the
pictures. So, you should first lock the focus, if
dont want to get a blurred picture.
8
Know the range of cameras flash

• A common mistake made by majority of amateur
  photographers is clicking picture beyond the
  flash's range. This is a big mistake because
  pictures clicked taken beyond the maximum flash
  range will come out too dark. The common and
  maximum flash range in many cameras is less than
  15 feet which is about five steps away.
