What Kind of Photography Are You Looking For?
by Peter Holder
Learn how to play with the shutter speed. You can choose to snap a quick picture or choose a slower exposure to capture a flow or movement in its entirety. You will need to experiment with this and find what kind of speed matches certain situations. This is a matter of personal style rather than a general guideline to follow.
Try using a tripod to take your photos. This will reduce or completely remove your movement's influence. It's incredibly frustrating to have lined up a perfect shot only to discover that your hands were shaking a bit and completely blurred the photo. This is especially important if you know you don't have extremely steady hands.
Experiment with new things and do not be afraid to take original pictures. A good photograph should develop a personal style and show the world through a certain point of view. Avoid classic pictures that you have seen a thousand times. Look for unique angles and use your creative skills.
A good photography tip is to always trust your instincts. If you suddenly have the urge to get a shot of something, go for it! Don't let doubt get in your way. You might look back at your work and decide that spontaneous shot you took represents you.
Know your camera. If you have recently purchased new equipment, or if you have had yours for a while, but never taken the time to know it's ins and outs, then do so. Read the manual, or play with the functions extensively until you understand it. Knowing what your camera can do will give you better pictures as you can adjust to changing light and circumstances.
Do not try to be unique all the time. You will not lose your status as a good photographer if you take some classic looking shots. Learn to make the difference between what is art and what is not. Do not edit your basic pictures of your friends to make them look artsy.
When taking a photograph, take one shot, then move in closer to the desired subject and take a second shot. You want the subject of the photograph to be the majority of the frame. Taking the second shot ensures that you get the better shot from one of the two, whether you were close enough initially or not.
A fantastic photography tip is to constantly look at other photographers for inspiration. Looking at the work of other photographers will remind you that there are endless ways to capture a moment. If you're ever struggling and running low on motivation, turn to the work of other photographers.
Use digital techniques to create photographs that resemble oil paintings, watercolors, graphic pencil sketches and more. Many companies produce digital software for altering photographs, but Adobe Photoshop is generally considered to be the industry standard. Instantly converting photographs to pieces of art is as simple as selecting the "filter" button, choosing which medium you prefer, then clicking your selection. It's really good fun too!
