The decisive factors for taking a good picture

For any mature photographer, canvas prints it really doesn't matter what kind of pictures they can take or what kind of equipment they use. However, the decisive factors of a good photo are usually based on the experience and aesthetic qualities of the photographer, and the basis has been laid. No matter what kind of equipment is used, a photo can be shot with its unique perspective, especially the following basics, which are essential.

1.Teach yourself to understand light correctly

Light is the soul of photography, canvas prints au and it is a foundation that cannot be avoided at any time. To put it bluntly, photography is to use light to make pictures, to understand the light correctly and to use it correctly, which is the decisive factor for a photo's success. Whether you have a camera or not, make it a habit to see a particular light and imagine what it would look like if you had a camera on your hand.

Your camera is just a dark box that absorbs light, but some are fancy and some are easy. What Angle does the light come from? Does light have color? Does light reflect interesting shapes on an object's surface? Have you created unique shadows? If you can understand light, you will be a good photographer.

2. Active composition

In the habit of composition, there are two types of people. One is the habit of taking pictures before composition, and the other is the habit of taking pictures after composition. Either way, however, the composition is the iron law of thunder. This is not to say that the composition of the picture must follow what kind of principles, there is no principle to the composition of the picture, as long as the picture looks comfortable, it is a successful composition. But how do you make a photo that looks good? In fact, there are rules to follow. Some basic rules of composition should be familiar with. For beginners, there is no mistake in practicing basic rules.

The simplest basic rule is the rule of thirds and the rule of guide line. When taking a photo, I actively imagine in my mind where the focus of this photo is if using the rule of thirds, and where the guide line of this photo is. To represent the three-dimensional world in a two-dimensional space, perspective is indispensable. For anyone who has studied architecture or painting, they will understand the importance of perspective in the process of expressing the three-dimensional world in a two-dimensional plane. I am accustomed to thinking before shooting, and gradually shorten the process of thinking.

3.Content matters most

It's easy to say, but a lot of people just can't grasp the content, and the pictures are often empty and unfocused. Do you know your subject before you press the shutter? What is the main body of the picture you capture in front of you? I'm afraid many people just simply press the shutter release. Finding the subject of your shot, and all the other rules are for that subject, is the basis of good photography. Only when the subject is clear, can the story surrounding this subject be told clearly.

4.Don't ignore the background

Many people like to shoot people with large aperture, the result is a clear person, and the background is all blurred. In fact, a lot of times the background can serve the story. A good background can better explain this picture. A reasonable background is essential for a good portrait.

5.Look at the world from different angles

We are used to putting the camera in front of us, taking pictures at the horizontal of our own perspective and seeing the world, but if we want to transcend our own theme, we must make a breakthrough. In a way, it's easier to see different worlds from a different perspective, allowing you to create a whole new theme. You can get close, you can get far, you can lower your camera, and you can look down on the world. Reinterpret the world with a new perspective.

6. Grasp the details

In fact, beauty is all around us, and there are many scenes in our daily life that are perfect shots, but we are in them without any consciousness. As a photographer, we should pay attention to the small details around us and record the beauty of life around us, but not noticed by others. You don't have to bring your camera with you at all times and hold it up at all times to take a picture. Make it a habit to see the world through the lens and you'll find more beauty.

7. Look for lines

Lines are everywhere, from the horizon at the end of the world to the telegraph poles on the road, the edges of buildings, and the extension of the road.

Take advantage of the ubiquitous lines and use them as guide lines or dividing lines to create interesting images. You can use these lines to create your theme, or you can use them to surround your subject, or you can use them to create a framework. Good composition must learn to use good lines.

8.Learn to wait

The so-called decisive moment is not to touch, but to wait. When you find a good place to take a picture, you can wait there, square canvas wait for the Angle of the light to be in the right place, wait for interesting people to pass by. Good pictures belong only to those who are patient.
