How to shoot better photos in 5 minutes.

playgroundIf you're like any other camera owners out there who thought that your photos aren't great because your camera is not good enough, think again!

Good photos aren't about good cameras. I will share some quick tips that will improve your photos within 5 minutes! With some practice, you will be taking great photos naturally.

Filling the frame

Look at the below scene: If you see your friend in the photo. How would you shoot her?

Group photo

Most people will do it the quick way like this:

Poor photo

Why don't we move the digital camera down a little like this for different composition?

You now get this photo.

Ah.. you can see what she's doing and cleared the excess space above her head that doesn't say much about what she's doing. What I have just done is filling up the whole frame with our subject.

 

before: Poor photo after: Photo compose ok

Even though the second photos won't win you any awards, but simply moving the camera down a little you've achieved a better shot!

Tip: Compose a person's face/head as close to the top of the photo as possible but not touching the top of the photo. Leave a little space between the top of the photo and the person's head. Also if possible, move the person slightly off centre like what I've done. It is important to fill the frame or photo with your subject.
