Are you searching for tips to taking better photos? Are you frustrated because your photos don't look like those in the photography magazines? And you wonder how you can make better pictures? First, it's important to realize that it's not the camera that makes good pictures, but the photographer.
You can have the best camera in the world, but if you don't know the basic principles of photography, you won't be able to make good pictures on a regular base.
So, first take a look at the Top 6 Tips for Better Pictures: 1.
Carry a camera everywhere you go...
and take pictures no matter what.
This way you will have the opportunity to make more photos, gain experience and improve as a photographer.
Keep in mind: the more pictures you make, the higher your chances are at getting a great one.
Don't hesitate to take a picture, a great moment won't last forever.
2.
Immediately delete unwanted and "bad" pictures.
Be critical of your photos, not every picture is worth saving.
Delete pictures that are out of focus, under- and overexposed pictures or ones with a bad, wrong or boring frame or composition.
3.
Compare your photos with great ones.
Learn to recognize greatness and the principles behind it.
Try to apply what you have learned making new photos.
4.
You don't need the best "high-tech camera" and equipment as a beginner.
You can make great pictures even with a 2 megapixel-camera.
Concentrate on the picture, on the motif, not on the resolution of the camera.
5.
Know your camera.
Take the time to read the manual of your camera and try the different functions step by step (especially if it's a new, high-tech digital camera ;-).
Learn to choose the right function at the right moment.
6.
Learn the rules of photo composition.
The Rule of thirds, the Golden section rule and the diagonal rule are things you need to know about (simply Google it).
Never place the motif in the middle of a picture.
