Top Ten Tips for Pictures!

Hello Hello again(: so today in class we learned about the first 3 out of 10 tips we should know for composition in pictures. If you ask me, it was pretty helpful.

1. Get eye level! For kids and pets, that means you have to get down on the floor or on your knees to get eye level to them. This creates a much more interesting paper then just taking a picture of them. This also doesn't mean that they have to look directly at the camera.



2. Use a Plain Background! Before taking the picture, check he area behind the subject. Cluttered backgrounds will be distracting while a plain background will emphasize the subject. Blurring the background can also be a good way of doing this.



3. Use flash outdoors! This rule has some exceptions. If the subject has shadows on their face/eyes or if there is too much light in the bckground, its a good idea to use the flash. Use it on a cloudy day to brighten up faces and make them stand out from the background.
ALSOO!! USE FLASH WHENN
  • if the subject is in shadow
  • if it's back-lit
  • if the subject is close enough to get the flash

Well guys, thanks for reading my post, i'll be posting the other tips soon!
