5 Photography
Mistakes That Can
Give You Dull
Pictures
Even if you have the most advanced
digital camera accessories, you cannot be successful if
you don’t know the basics of photography.


     This is an art that requires the same level of
   knowledge, practice, and precision as any other art.


                 Here are some initial roadblocks that
                 you have to overcome in order to click
                 flawless pictures.
Bad Composition
The content of the picture as well as the proposition of
the subject, foreground, and background will decide the
quality of your photography.

A good picture should give maximum space to the
subject.

        Although there is no mathematical calculation, almost
        85% of your photograph should be occupied by your
        subject.

             You can even consider blurring your background
             so that your subject gets the most attention.
Level Of Camera
Most amateur photographers often perceive that they have to
keep their digital photography equipment such as their
camera close to their eyes.

   This is true, however; you have to make sure that the camera
   is at the eye level of your subject’s eye and not yours.

           When you are clicking a dog, knee down to reach its
           eye level and when you are shooting a person taller
           than you, stand on a platform.

                When you are clicking a dog, knee down to reach
                its eye level and when you are shooting a person
                taller than you, stand on a platform.
Improper Lighting
The right light is what you need to capture an awesome
moment. Balance any dim or bright light by using
digital photography equipment such as lighting bulbs,
reflectors, softboxes, barndoors, and much more.
    Flash photography causes red eye so if possible
    avoid it as much as possible. If you are shooting in
    the daylight always have the sun behind you.

           For lighting your subject’s face, use reflectors.
              For indoor photography, diffuse your studio light
             to get rid of unwanted shadows and hot spots.
Camera Not Stabilized Properly

Unwanted camera movements can cause blurriness and
spoil your work completely. Minimize your camera
shake to get clear sharp photos.

   For this, you need to use tripods or monopods. If you
   don’t have any of these, place your camera on a stable
   surface and use a remote shutter release.

           The core idea is to stabilize your camera as much as
           possible.
Taking Low Resolution Pictures

    In order to capture more photos, most photographers
    decrease the resolution of their cameras.


         Make sure you always take high resolution pictures.


              Increase the memory of your camera but do not
              decrease the resolution.

Photography is not just about taking your camera and clicking
images. It’s an art and you have to follow certain principles in
order to be the best at it.
