Tips for better photography

There are so many things you would like to capture? be it funny situation, beautiful landscapes, great architecture, dramatic clouds, cute baby animals. But often it does not look really tingling on the pictures taken, whether with a photo or a cell phone. What to do? There are some simple rules and tips that lead to better photos even with the mobile phone.

The light

?More light? Goethe is said to have proclaimed on the deathbed. Good light is the A & O for good photos. For outdoors: In cloudy skies, but also in bright midday sun, it is difficult to take good pictures. A gray scattered light makes photos appear boring and low-contrast, the vertical noon sun as well. In stray light can sometimes help in portraits a flash? also during the day. Better are the morning and evening hours, when the light falls beautifully at an angle, casts shadows and makes contrasts.

But please never just take pictures against the light? Backlighting requires good SLR cameras and even better photographers to operate them. Sun from the side or from behind? Well. Sun from the front? It can be interesting, but maybe you have to switch the flash to lighten it.


The perspective

Just keep it on? Pictures become more interesting when you play with perspective. For example, tall buildings or trees can be raised steeply, increasing the height and making them look interesting.

On the other hand, people and faces, when taken lightly from below, look rather small, wide and old. It has meanwhile also rumgesprochen that selfies should be made best from the side up. If you do not believe me: just try it from the bottom, but leave your finger on the delete key!

The motif

Does it always have the face? En bloc? his? Extreme close-ups, so-called close ups? not only have their rights in professional photography. The documentation of a convivial round is animated by interspersed close-ups and portraits. If you are traveling in nature or in cities, the eye for detail is worthwhile as well.


The composition

Why are some paintings boring and some exciting? How the elements, the figures, the individual parts are arranged to each other, plays a big role. A lonely dune landscape certainly has its horizontal appeal, but is laterally in the foreground a vertical disruptive factor in the form of a tree or a closed parasol, the picture gets a frame. Be careful not to shoot pictures symmetrically, do not always put the group of people in the middle, but a little offset to the edge. The horizon line should not necessarily run in the middle of the picture, but better in the upper or lower third. Then the lonely dune landscape looks even more exciting without a tree.

More pictures promise more success

Do not mind the trigger. The days of expensive film rolls is over, taking a nips costs nothing. And whoever makes several pictures of each motif, especially of each situation, has greater chances that successful pictures will be among them. This is especially true when humans or animals are involved. Professional people and wildlife photographers will stick to it until the situation is over and then seven out (you should definitely do that: delete, delete, delete). Many people also lose their shyness and trepidation a little when the phone or camera is aimed at them for a longer time. You get used to everything!

Last but not least: Photoshop?

Oh, why not? Strengthen a few contrasts, maybe remove a pimple, crop the image, it can not hurt. But please do not make a wolf from the pug or from the nice neighbor with belly approach a unbelievable Adonis with six-packs. With a sense of proportion and intuition you can make beautiful pictures even more beautiful. What should not be necessary with the tips mentioned above!
