Just purchased a new camera? And very excited to start to take pictures with your new toy?
But alas, why does the picture not look as good as you needed? Below are for 4 new tricks to taking more interesting and noteworthy photos.
Trick 1 - Try out different camera exposure settings
â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-
By exploring the exposure settings of your camera, you could have pictures looking more brilliant with 0.5 to 2 stops underexposed in bright environment, and scenes appearing more clear with some overexposure. Simply by tuning of the exposure level, you can create photographs which can bring out different moods from folk viewing it. Thats why the quote "A Picture Says A Thousand Words" is especially true indeed! For newbies, try out bracketing (i.e: Take the same photograph with different exposure levels) and take your favourite pick from them.
Trick 2 - Bring out some creative blur in photos
â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-
By introducing some well-planned blur in pictures, you can bring across certain important features, while using the rest as good complement, providing an overall nice touch. This can be done in 2 common forms. First type is depth-of-field blur. Varying the lens aperture between 0.4 to 1.4 can make a lovely, soft background blur which bring sharp focus to the subject in the foreground.
Second type is movement blur. Done by setting the camera exposure on shutter priority, and keep it slow in order to capture fascinating streaks as the topic moves in front of the camera.
Trick 3 - Create something out of nothing
â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-
This exercise encourages you to take a step back and reconsider how you can take glorious pictures with things you already encounter on a daily basis.
One approach is to make your shot about the common elements around you such as lines, space and patterns. This may mean anything from the roads to the bridges, the trees, the railings, etc. You begin to see greater opportunities and room for creativeness.
Trick 4 - Take Unique Photographs
â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"
Try avoiding taking stills from already popular places where everyone else has taken before as it will not be fresh. Try out new extraordinary photography (for example: underwater photography), or it could be as straightforward as shooting thru thick glasses for that additional 3D feel, or shooting reflections of objects in water or other reflective objects.
If you can master some of these tips, you're well on your way on being a professional photographer.
