Seven Tips on Photography :: The Introduction
Monday, February 11th, 2008
A friend on Facebook asked me today for some photography tips. Honored, I wrote her a quick reply (below). They’re in no way a complete list of tips but they’re a start.
- Know your camera and how to use it. All those buttons mean something important.
- Use the rule of thirds.
- Fill the frame.
- Shoot from abnormal angles like laying on the ground or from up high.
- Study other’s work and try to replicate it (not for plagiarizing but for practice).
- Take an absurd number of photos of the same thing from many angles and positions then find the best and ask why.
- Get it right IN the camera. Rely on Photoshop ONLY when necessary.
Check back over the next few weeks as I flesh each one of these out.
