Beginners in the world of photography make many common and similar mistakes. Many fail to expose the image properly and continue to do so after even intermediate level. Focus issues are a major topic for novices as well. This article will give yo three basic photo tips for beginners.
1. Get a Subject
So many people take pictures of what they see as beautiful they fail to look at the subject. In general, the simpler the subject the easier to photograph. It's really not difficult to take a shot of a palm tree.
Even so, many beginning photo enthusiasts still make errors with the background. The solution: find main object of interest and keep the background simple. This can involve using a large aperture and having a shallow depth of field or simply moving the camera so the background is only blue sky.
2. Use Depth
Photos are two dimensional representations of the three dimensional world. In essence, taking an image turns the real world into a flat picture. This can lead to some pretty boring shots. The solution: use depth. Depth can be as easy to make as changing the camera angle. Example: instead of taking a pic of two people standing directly in front of a wall facing you, move so that the wall creates interesting lines and depth.
3. Wait the light
The best time to shoot is during the early morning sunrise or late afternoon sunset. The reason is because the light is absolutely beautiful. It's rather hard not to take a good shot during this time. Trees have more depth, mountains look more mystical, etc. By waiting a few hours for the right time, your photos can be changed from alright to great.
