Taking Quality Photos

Postby Indian Summer » 02 21, 2020 •  [Post 1]

Make sure the light is behind the camera. Don’t cut off heads or hands. Try to have a well rounded composition by zooming out a bit and having some background for depth! :lol:

I knew there was something missing in my photos. Background is important.

I showed this picture to my wife. I am guilty of distributing child pornography?

I think your just jealous as he pinched and leaned back his golden arch that went for 12 feet! And the boys had a view of all of west Texas

Broke the rule of thirds
One of the most well-known rules of photographic composition and one of the most important things you’ll learn in photography is the rule of thirds.
It also happens to be one of the easiest ways to instantly improve your photography skills and capture visually appealing and balanced images.
There is a number of things that influence whether or not a photo is considered to be good. After all, photography is subjective.
But no, before you ask – the reason will never solely be that you like the subject in the photo.
In fact, an eye-pleasing photograph will always have great composition.
An experienced photographer will know how to create a perfectly composed photo by thoroughly considering object and subject placement & focal points.
Now, wouldn’t it be nice if you could do the same with your photographs?
In today’s post, we’re going to take a closer look at the rule of thirds – a concept that will help you take the placement of your subject into great consideration so the composition of your photos is well-balanced, visually appealing, and interesting to look at too.
Thugh this is something that we’ll be taking a closer look at later, I just want to mention this upfront – as with all rules in photography, the rule of thirds is meant to be broken.
Ignoring this rule or bending it doesn’t mean that your photos won’t look good, but you should always fully learn and grasp a concept before you break the rule so that when you do, you can break it effectively.

I seriously hope not. The art world includes so much as art and I would agree some may be art.
I grew up in a neighborhood a younger boy could pee on a tree or into a bush when others weren't looking. Almost a Norman Rockwell pic

I agree the picture is art; even good art, but I have to strain a bit to see Norman Rockwell.
