At PhotoBox we know how important your photos are to you
. Thats why weve put together some more great photo tips to help you improve your photography.
1. Deceptively spacious
If you use a really wide angle lenses when shooting interiors photos the rooms will look much bigger.
2. Avoiding flare
Lens flare is a common problem when the sun is low in the sky. Avoid it affecting your photos by using a lens hood, or simply using your hand to shield the sunlight.
3. Focus first
Half-pressing the shutter down actives your auto focus, by doing this before pressing the shutter down fully you're more likely to get sharper focus photos.
4. Eyes right
When shooting portraits always make sure you focus on the eyes as they are the most important part of the photo to get right.
5. Learn to anticipate
When photographing an event learn to anticipate whats going to happen next so you can prepare your camera settings and attempt to be in the right place at the right time.
6. Follow the action
Experiment with capturing action shots by panning the camera and following the action. The aim is to get your main subject in sharp focus, but blur the background to emphasis the movement. Slowing your shutter speed down will help achieve the desired effect.
7. Fish eye fun
Investing is a specialist fish eye lens for your digital SLR, which gives an interesting distortion to your images, is an easy way to add more creativity to your photos.
8. Interesting landscapes
To give your landscapes real depth and draw the viewer in, always include an interesting element in the foreground. This little trick helps give a sense of scale too.
9. Good looking groups
With group shots it's vital to see everyone and form a flattering shape. Place the tallest people not only at the back of the group but in the centre, with shorter people either side, and you'll get a relaxed but orderly image.
10. Photography is a gift
Transform your favourite photos into unique personalised gifts for your friends & family to enjoy
