Ganpati Photography Tips
Keep Your Lens Clean: your smartphone camera lenses do have grime on it due to constant usage. The results are hazy, dark images that won’t look good. Before clicking give your lens a quick wipe with a soft cloth or as a last resort clean with your T-shirt it will do just fine. Your bag of lenses, clunky tripod, and fancy accessories will only bog you down and cause you to miss the key moments.
Move in close: Many camera phones lack a zoom lens, so make sure you move in close to capture your subject. Fill your display screen with your subject to create pictures with greater impact. Don’t get too close or your pictures will be blurry and distorted. As a general rule, stand about one to two feet from your subject.
Shoot at eye level: Direct eye contact can be as engaging in a picture as it is in real life. Eye level angle will create a personal and inviting feeling that pulls you into the picture.
Observe the light: Try to take pictures in bright light. Without adequate lighting, your pictures will look dark and grainy. In sunlight, move around where the sunbeams onto your subject. Indoors, turn on extra lights to brighten your subject.
Stay still: Jittery hands cause blurring. Keep your hand still a second or two after shooting, since the shot is still processing. When you hear the click sound, it doesn’t mean you captured the photo, it just indicates that you pressed the shutter.
Think before you shoot: The point of being a photographer is to capture the world as you see it and share your unique perspective with others. Take time to examine every single thing that’s showing in the photo, there should be no distractions that cause a viewer to look at something other than what you wanted them to see. Are there any water bottles or random objects that should be moved? Have you cropped off the top of someone’s head? Take some time to consider it.
Make the details matter:
For memorable pictures, forget about the crowd. think outside of the box. I focus on people’s faces when they’re taking in the sights. Look for parents pointing things out to their children. make your own stories for your Instagram.
