Digital Photography Secret 1
was browsing thru the net the other day and found something interesting…. for those who love photography, here r some secrets that might help giving u guys some idea’s.
Move In Closer
Almost any shot will look better if you take two or three steps closer to
your subject. Filling the frame entirely with your subject will make a terrific
difference to your photos.
Alternatively, instead of moving closer, use the Optical or Digital Zoom of
your camera to get a close up shot.
When taking shots of family and friends, most people place the subject’s full
body in the frame, or place head and arms in the shot. Instead, fill the frame
with your subject’s FACE only - particularly if they are smiling or are in a
moment of reflection.
Why does this work? With less clutter in the image, there’s less to draw the
eye away from the main subject of your photo. Also, human faces (particularly
children’s faces) are something we all feel pleasure looking at.
If you can’t get close enough when you’re taking the shot, you can zoom in
later using photo editing software - crop out everything except the subject’s
face and see what a difference it makes.
When using the viewfinder for close shots, be careful of Parallax. Because
the viewfinder is not at the same position as the camera’s lens, centering the
subject in the viewfinder may mean it is not centered for the lens resulting in
an off-center final picture. Most digital cameras now come with an inbuilt LCD
screen. You can eliminate this problem by using the LCD - which shows you what
the lens sees - rather than the viewfinder.
