In my article I will tell you about important technics for a better photography, will share an information about composition, finding and making good angles and will run over the exposure setting. So let’s go 🙂

photography tips and techniques

A shooting mode is just a feature that allows you to choose how much power you wish to give your camera over your actions.

  • Composition

A meticulous arrangement of elements in the frame is known as composition. An effective composition emphasizes crucial visual aspects while also artistically presenting your viewpoint. Before planning your frame, seek for features in the surroundings that, when placed around the composition’s edge, will help separate your target and position it as the focal point. Tilting your camera to photograph vertically is one of the greatest ways to add uniqueness to your images.

  • Exposure: Aperture size, shutter speed and ISO

The amount of light that reaches your camera and your sensor determines the exposure. The aperture, shutter speed, and iso are all used to manage exposure, which determines how light and sharp your image appears.

Once you shoot in automatic mode, the camera automatically adjusts the size of the hole (aperture), the period it is open (shutter speed), and the sensor intensity (ISO). However, you can employ settings that allow you to personally set one of those three elements while the camera adjusts the other two. You may also adjust all 3 at the same time (in completely manual mode) or apply exposure correction to make gradual changes after you’ve selected your exposure.

Slow shutter speed let more light to enter sensor, making them ideal for reduced light and night photography, whereas fast shutter speeds help to capture action. Aperture is a hole in a lens that allows light to pass through and into the camera body. More light reaches the camera sensor when the opening is wider. The visibility of graininess/noise in your photographs grows as the ISO increases.

  • Choosing a light

Light plays a huge role in photography: it establishes the image on your camera’s sensor after being focused by your camera. Whether you use natural or artificial lighting, the light you pick forms and shapes your subject and forms your photos.

When light is focused in a narrow beam or when the light source is far away from the point, it appears hard. Hard light creates crisp shadows and significant contrast, as well as emphasizing texture.  Soft light is created by placing a target extremely near to a source of light or by employing a light source that is very wide. It reduces texture and lowers shadows and contrast.

  • Colors

Each light has color, even if it appears to be white. Sunlight is reddish gold in the morning and late afternoon, but it can be blue in the center of the day. Color is also present in several types of artificial lighting. Choose auto white tone to have your camera adjust it for you, or manually adjust it.

Aside from the in-camera features that let you study the finer details of color, there’s a lot else about knowing how color may help you choose a subject and compose your shot. Photos with analogous colors are usually harmonious, pulled-together studies in line and texture, but images with high-contrast complementary colors  have a powerful dynamism.

Choosing a shot type

A close-up shot is a photograph taken at close distance of a person or object in order to catch the subject’s fine details.

Take a high angle shot if you really want to make someone appear smaller than they are.

Since it provides an unusual aspect, a tilted angle makes photographs look edgy. Society expects the photographs to be perfectly symmetrical all of the time. When you tilt your picture, you attract the attention of the viewer since it is unusual.

Wide angle photography helps you to capture gorgeous landscapes and architecture.

A low angle subject is one that is captured underneath the level of the sight. This can give the impression that the subject is strong, brave, or violent.
