Choose what to focus on and what elements to include in your composition. A great photo will be like you are looking at your object through a little window. Don’t try to crowd too many things into the picture. Try taking a series of photos for a better impression of a subject than one without details and focus.
Pick what you want in the picture. A good photograph will be a small window that shows one view of your subject. Don’t attempt to include too much. If there are many things you want to document, take multiple pictures. Multiple pictures will allow you to focus on every aspect, while one picture focuses on nothing well.
Keep the settings on your camera simple. Learn to master one portion of the control, such as aperture or shutter speed, before you worry about the next. This puts you mind on taking the picture quickly rather than messing with all the dials and screens on your camera.
There is a feature on the camera called white balance, manually play around with it. When you take shots inside, you usually end up with a yellowish color because of the light-bulbs. Rather than changing your room’s lighting, you can change the white balance of your camera. This will give your pictures a professional appearance.
Detail some notes on your camera settings when you are taking photos. When you are looking at your pictures later on, it will be nice to see where the picture was taken, and how you felt when you took it. Use a small notepad to write numbers next to the pictures’ descriptions.
The use of light, shutter speed and your camera’s zoom option can alter the appearance of your photograph completely.
