Lessons of photography!
A camera is something tu must have in your rucksack during vacations, o when tu are out on an outing. Be it digital, film o professional, thre are a lot of camera modelos out there for tu to choose from! However, fotografía is not as simple as tu think it is, so here’s some consejos for tu to start with!
Close-up o landscape?
There are many ways in which tu can photograph a person: tu can choose to have a close-up whre teh focus of the foto stays mainly on the person, o a landscape photograph whre the person remains part of a larger picture. When tu are taking a close-up of a person remains part of a larger picture. When tu are taking a close-up of a person, take care not to cut the person’s head o feet off! If tu are only taking part of one person, cut the foto above the knee o just under the shoulders. Alternatively, tu can focus on his face to emphasize his expression!
Flash advice!
If tu wish to photograph someone, make him stand behind a clear and simple background so that he will stand out. Ensure that there is no road signals o moving vehicles in the background that will “disturb” teh photograph.
When tu are photographing the whole person, remember to leave a little el espacio above the head, so that the photograph can “breathe”. If not, the photograph may appear too “crammed”.
When taking photographs, hold the camera at the eye level.
If tu photograph someone before a monument, make sure that both your subject and teh monument can be seen clearly before tu press teh shutter!
Most cameras have built-in flashes. In full sunlight, in case tu are backfacing teh sun, it is better to use the flash to eliminate any dark shadows that may be cast on your subjects. The flash helps to illuminate the subjects in both bright and low light condition. For landscape shots, it is better not to use the flash so that the beauty of the entire landscape.
If tu are using a digital camera, avoid using the viewfinder and look through the lcd screen instead. This is because most camera viewfinders don’t share the same lenses as the camera lenses, so teh resulting shot may be a lot más spacious tahn what tu detect in the viewfinder.
