Photography

I wish I had my own D-SLR(digital)camera, because i love taking pictures. Taking pictures is one of my many interests in life, since it is a nice hobby, I can also have material memories of events, family and friends for me to cherish for the rest of my life...

For those who love photography or taking pictures, I have some tips for you on how to take or shoot a nice photo.

First, when taking a picture make sure the lighting is excellent. When taking pictures outside on a daylight, you don't need to use the camera's flash because it won't have any huge effect at all. Flash only affects portraits and close capture photos. For example when your are taking a portrait picture and you notice that the sun very bright that's the time that you will use the camera's flash, it will counter the suns brightness or lessen the exposure of your photo, making the photo more balanced.

Second is the vanishing point, it is located at the center of the photo. make sure your capture has a vanishing point so your photo won't be imbalanced. This is very important because the center is your main focal point, so when you look at the picture you can easily tell what is the main subject of the photo. Vanishing points are more noticable on landscape photos.

Last is what you call "The Rule of 3rds". The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in photography and other visual arts such as painting and design. The rule states that an image can be divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines. The four points formed by the intersections of these lines can be used to align features in the photo. A very good example of photos where you can actually notice the rule of thirds are landscapes.

So when taking pictures, make sure you have atleast these 3 important elements, lighting, vanishing point and the rule of thirds. I suggest that you use these elements, maybe people might mistakenly think that you are a professional photographer...
