How To Take A Great Photo

Most adults have taken a good photograph at some point. But what really sets the really good photos out from the average photos?

Here are some steps you can follow to take those great photos more often.

1- Hold The Camera Steady - This is very important. Steady your upper body by tucking your elbows in for support. As you take the photo hold your breath so that at the point of taking the photo the camera is completly still.

2-When To Use The Flash - Alot of cameras will have an auto flash function built in. Aiming the flash at your subject will reduce the quality of the photograph due to the lack of shawdows. Try aiming the flash to bounce of a ceiling or wall. If you often find your subjects have read eye in the photograph try and find the function on your camera that can reduce this.

3- Use the Natural Light - If there is natural light then use it. If your not sure and its low light take one photo with the flash and one without.

4- The Rule Of Thirds - Picture in your mind an area/grid divided into horizontal and vertical thirds. Instead of placing your subject bang centre of the grid try placing them on one of the four lines. Makes a more interesting picture. See image below for an example.



I hope these 4 simple steps help you take more great photographs.
