Three Easy Casual Photography Tips

Are you happy with your photos?  

Are they what you want or hope for?  

If so, no need to finish reading this. :-)

Many of you don't want or need to learn a bunch of photography stuff.  You just want to capture the moment, and avoid a crappy photo.   

These three simple techniques will make a ton of difference.

Remove the Clutter
Remove the clutter from around your subject.  Keep the surroundings and background as simple as possible.  Too much stuff is distracting.  If need be, simply move to a different location or angle.

Check the Lighting
If it bothers your eyes, don't bother taking a photo.  It will likely be worse.  As with clutter, move to a different location or angle.  Keep the contrast between scene's bright and dark areas to a minimum.

Move Off-Center
Move the subject off-center.  Think of a tic-tac-toe board, and move your subject to one of the intersections.  You'll figure out which one.  Also, have your subject look into the photo, not out of it.


These three techniques may be all you'll ever need or want.  However, if you want to go to the next level and really learn photography, I recommend a structured course.  Trial and error may get you there one day, but a course will get you there MUCH faster.

I highly recommend PhotographyCourses.biz.  The FREE videos are organized both by subject and skill level.  Just watch one, and you'll come back.
