Taking Great Pictures With No Expensive Equipment
Posted on April 19, 2008 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment
If you’re like me then you probably would love all the high tech equipment those professional photographers have but don’t want to spend the money and actually buy it. Great news…you don’t need to, to take good photos!
The essential elements to taking great pictures is the way you shoot your photo. When you take a picture, the picture is taken from the spot your standing at and how far you’ve zoomed in or out.
Now, if you take a picture and it doesn’t come out what do you do? Do you look for something else to shoot? If you do then you’re missing out on a great photo!
Before you go rushing off to find something else to shoot, stop and move to the left, the right, etc. Try zooming out a little, closer, etc. Maybe bend down or get on your tip toes. You’ll notice that these slight changes can make big differences.
Another change you can do is move the camera very slightly and make the subject off center. Avoiding the center can make your shots much nicer to look at. If you look at a lot of great shots you’ll notice they aren’t dead center and if they are, the photographer had the exact decision to do so for the desired effect.
All compositional techniques are about moving the camera to a desired spot where the shot is perfect. Think of “leading lines” techniques. This technique is that you should use lines to lead to the subject of interest. Well, if you’re taking a picture and it doesn’t look good you can just move a little and get the lines around you to lead. You’re just moving a little and your pictures improving!
