3 New Photography Techniques  Unclutter: Pay attention to what's in the background  Rule of Thirds: Don't just center an object.  Getting Up Close: Filling up the frame

Unclutter o Pay attention to what's in the background o A plain background will help your subject stand out. o Ask your subjects to move. o Get closer o Crop the photo after you download it.

Unclutter

Rule of Thirds o Don't just center an object. o Make a grid. Use 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. Place objects at the point where these lines meet, or intersect.

Rule of Thirds o If the object of interest is at one of these intersection, it makes your image more interesting. o Some cameras have a 'grid' setting that can be used while taking pictures.

Rule of Thirds

Getting Up Close o Filling up the frame o Focus attention on a subject by filling up the frame. o Get closer! Zooming in on the subject can help a lot. You don't want people or the object to be tiny. o Cropping. Sometimes you can crop the image afterward.

Getting Up Close

o If the object is small, you might need to use the macro setting. o Many cameras use a flower to show that this setting is good for taking pictures up close. o The camera should be about one foot (12 inches) away from the object you are photographing.

Using Macro Settings
