Photography 101

So, have you often had terrible photos of moments you wanted to cherish forever? Well, then this article is for you. We will be talking about a total of fifteen things to help you capture better pictures that you will want to keep forever.

The first thing that you can do to capture a better photo is to pay attention to the weather. The weather can decide what your shot is going to turn into, it will also determine the mood. Decide what you want the mood of your photo to be before you take it. Remember sunny is not the only weather condition that can turn out to make great photos.

The next thing to keep in mind is to take all the time you need to setup the shot. Though, the people that you may be photographing could start to get a bit frustrated, this does not mean that you should not take your time. Remember if you take your time, you will get a better picture than if you were to snap a fast photo. Try and find the perfect angle for the shot.

The next thing is to not always choose subjects with bright colors. Often a muted color subject will turn out just as good as a brightly colored one.

Another thing to keep in mind is movement diffusion. If your camera has a manual shutter, try to lower the speed of the shutter and raising the f-stop, now try to move the camera while you take the shot. This could get you the very artsy blur effect.

Try to change the exposure of the thing you are taking pictures of. Try different exposures to make your picture turn out differently.

Another fun thing to try and do is Macro Photography. To do this, go and get one of your magnifying glasses and try to get the right focus on a smaller subject.

Another thing that you could try is taking photos through wet glass. Spray some water on the outside of one of your windows and make sure your subject is outside and take that picture.

Also, try to balance your colors. Having too much of one color can be a bad thing.

Try having a picture with silhouettes. These silhouettes can make a very beautiful picture.

Also try patterns. Everyone has seen those amazing photosthat have beautiful patterns in them.

Try to also combine complimentary colors. One idea is to have some green grass then have someone wearing red walk through. These colors will make it so the subject of the photo stands out more.

Try a color filter. If the camera you own has these filters use them this can add a great effect to the photos you are taking.

Try waking up early and looking around for places to take pictures. Because, for pictures the sunrise is way better than the sunset.

The last thing to remember is to use the flash. The flash will help you capture the real color and shape of an object.

So, if you want to want to take nice photos follow those simple ideas.
