You don't have to be a professional photographer and have a very expensive camera to get good shots. Even with an ordinary digital soap box, you can get high-quality photos. The person looking into the lens should be a bit of an artist and know a few simple rules.
It is necessary
Digital camera, tripod or cable
Instructions
Step 1
Get the right simple composition. Try not to have a lot of details in the frame, this scatters attention and distracts from the main subject. Take pictures from different angles. This completely changes the perception of the same object.
Step 2
Position the camera so that the light source (sun, chandelier, floor lamp, window) is behind you or to the side. Remember, in the photo, shadows will always be darker than our eyes can see in reality.
Step 3
Watch your depth of field. The subject should be sharp and the background slightly blurred, not the other way around. Digital cameras are equipped with autofocus. Only in macro mode and terrain mode are the distances already set.
Step 4
Take pictures of children with the camera lowered to their chest level. Be sure to focus on the subject's eyes in portraits. Try to prevent the person from looking directly into the lens, as the camera cannot express three-dimensionality. When shooting outdoors, pay attention to the surrounding objects, otherwise trees or pipes will grow out of a person's head in the picture. Do not crop the person as much as possible when shooting. It looks strange when a person's hands are not visible or the legs and feet are cut off.
Step 5
Take a lot of pictures, this will allow you to choose the best one. Experiment with flash. Take multiple shots with and without flash. In the photo, carefully study the difference. Use the flash when shooting people against the light or when harsh shadows fall on the subject's face.
Step 6
For portrait photography, use a tripod or try to fix the camera as much as possible to avoid shake and blur. For shooting moving objects (sportsman, bird), night shooting, shooting in the snow, select special modes.
