Everyone has a digital camera today and we all take a lot of photos. But
if your photos still have trees coming out of your father.s head, mom has
red eye, and your beloved pet is never facing the camera then here are
some tips to help you take better photos.
1. Always be aware of the background. I know this is the hard one but it
is critical. If you.re setting up a shot take a quick look at what is
behind the people in your shot. So many perfectly good photos are ruined
by a tree seeming to grow out of a person.s head. It can be as simple as
the person taking one full step to the right or left to move the obstacle
that would ruin your photo.
2. Use available light. If your digital camera has an option to turn the
flash off and it.s light enough outside to read a book then use the
available light and turn the flash off. In general camera flashes are too
harsh for human skin and make all of us look pale. (Even better if your
camera has a fill flash use that indoors where there isn.t enough
daylight, and place the person by a window as well.)
3. Use ambient soft light. The reason that so many of use pose people
under trees, and end up with the ruined photo with a tree coming out of
dad.s head, is that we all instinctively know that soft light is best.
Sunlight filtered through a trees. leave is beautiful and warm. It warms
up the skin and puts a soft light to the features. Indoors near a window
with drapes has a similar effect.
4. Aim your camera slightly down at the person.s face. Now I don.t mean
climb a ladder but just don.t ever, and I mean ever, point your camera
looking up to a person. We all look fat and bloated at that angle. Also
don.t shoot just face on to the person, try a little to the side, a three
quarter view, so that you see more of their face. Remember camera higher
looking down and a three quarter view, it will slim your subject.
5. Remember your focus, are you taking a photo of mom and the tree, then
take mom with the whole tree. But if you.re taking a photo of mom next to
a tree do we really need to see the entire tree? Get closer to your
subject. We can see some of the tree bark with mom leaning against it, but
showing the whole tree is a waste. Remember this tip with children, many
people take a shot of their dear child for an expression on the child.s
face, but in the printed shot the child is lost next to another kid, the
swing set, and the dog. Remember get closer.
6. Never put your subject dead center. All family photographers do this
and it.s as hard of a habit to break as remembering to look at the
background. But if you.ve moved closer to your subject remember to put
them just sightly off center. Not a lot just a bit. When you.re shooting
even groups of people this is especially easy but odd numbered groups is a
little more difficult. Just find your imaginary center line of your group
and put that line just a bit off center in your view through your lens or
screen.
With these tips you can be on your way to taking better photos today.
