DIY COLOR GEL FOR STUDIO SHOTS

1. CROPPING

If your picture is losing its impact because of the background or surroundings, crop your main point of focus so that it will have all the attention. This is also very effective with portraits when you're trying to shoot in a busy location.

2. DON'T CUT OFF LIMBS

Keep your attention on the edges of your frame to make sure that the person you're trying to get picture with hasn't had any of their body parts chopped off by it.

3. UNDERSTAND THE RULE OF THIRDS

The Rule of Thirds, probably the most basic and most useful technique in photography, it works in all of sceneries and any type of subject. Basically, it is all about dividing your scene or shot into mine equal parts by vertical and horizontal lines. Simply, it about placing your subject to a single line or where the line meets. The rule of thirds works really well on landscapes and sometimes portraits.

4. USE FRAMES

Framing is a basic technique in photography and it has various uses when it comes to composition. Framing basically refers to using any elements of you chosen scene creating it a frame within your frame. Framing is actually considered a foreground, for the most part you can either use your hand on a face, tree branches, trunks, doors, windows or anything that you can see through it with a frame.

6. SIMPLIFY - KNOW YOUR FOCUS

One of the important thing in doing a photo is to know your focus. As a beginner, you can start by setting the aperture of the camera lens where it is sharpest called the sweet spot. Take a shot with the focus set close to you, then repeat the process over until you capture the right one. You can also try setting the focus point farther and farther away with each shot.

5. MAKE THE MOST OF LEADS IN LINES/SHAPE

The leading lines are all around us in nature and can also be around in cities . As a photographer, your job is to find them and organize them in your photo so that they guide towards something, even if it is something infinity. When setting up a shot, take a moment to inspect the scene for its important lines. Empty your mind, lessen the tense of your eyes, and pay attention to where they are naturally drawn to.

7. WATCH THE BACKGROUND

Unnatural items, overexposed or particularly shining regions and blocks all draw your attention from what they are intended to be, so look at your background before taking a picture. When you're working on portraits, make sure your subject doesn't stick out unwanted objects and throw the background away from focus unless it's added to the shot. To achieve this, you can pick a wider view if you'd like to work with a DSLR or choose the Portrait Mode in a compact camera. If you work with crops and flowers, attempt to create your own background with a card and material that can be slipped alongside your camera equipment into your bag.

8. LOOK FOR SYMMETRY OR PATTERNS

Please use a pattern that repeats the shot, overwriting the size / number of the objects you are taking. The eye can also be guided by shots that are of symmetry like lamp posts lining either side of a road, a lengthy row of trees or a series of arks. Just keep in mind that at the end of your shot you need a focus point, otherwise it will not operate as well. Symmetry can include also unrelated items in form, color or texture that look like each other. Bridge the repeating pattern to be distinct with one shape / colour, which is distinct from the remainder. You likely have to play around to see how the ' strange one ' position changes your shot's composition and feeling.

9. CREATE DEPTH

It is one of the great challenges in photography is to bring a sense of depth to your photos, giving a two dimensional image a real three dimensional feel. Having a fore-, middle- and background detail will add depth to your image as well as draw the eye through the picture. There is more depth to be found vertically than horizontally, and portrait photos naturally capture more of the scene vertically. And it also emphasize the subject more. Compositional Elements that compliment each other, for example with colour or by association, work well but do be careful with size of objects you use and how you place them as you don't want to shot to be thrown off balance.

HOW TO TAKE A WORM'S-EYE VIEW

Basic photos are boring, it's usually from the same level as the subject in a portraiture. We are going to change that with an angle that i've been using a lot in portraitures; the Worm's-eye View.

Worm's-eye view is basically taking pictures from below, kind of like the photographer is trying to be like a worm. Usually it can be this technique can be used to make the subject look more tough and tall. Also a tip for it is to sort of tilt a little bit of the given angle to make that cinematic shot.

KALYE MUSIKA

When you walk through the streets of Downtown Cebu City, you'll probably notice this old man busking on the Street of Colon. Ever since when I High School, I would notice this old man busking or playing music on the street with his guitar and harmonica. Well the old man in the picture is not really the Original busker that I saw everytime to walk through Colon, but still they have the similarities and i've been seeing the new old busker for a little while now.

This photo which is taken by yours truly, got me really stunned by it, not because I took the shot, but because it is really stunning. You could literally see the emotions of the persons in the picture; the busker and probably his family that they really need the money to support their needs and doing something through music.

I took this photo out of a known technique which is the Rule of Thirds. It is quiet common to all photographers and probably the most important rule or technique in photography. The rule of thirds is basically making 9 equal sections with vertical ang horizontal lines crossing. Just simply place your subject to where the line or where the 2 lines are crossing. In my case, as you can see my subject is the busker which I placed him to the bottom left of the crossed line.

Looking for professional software on Mac or Windows for photo editing? Whether you are a beginner or a professional, it is vital that your images (may it be food or travel photos) and videos (for vlogs) be edited before being uploaded to your social media. I will share with you the best software for photo editing for photographers in this blog. 

 Adobe Lightroom 

In terms of software for image editing, Adobe is really the gold standard. If Photoshop is too complicated and overwhelming, then you will surely like everything you can do with Adobe Lightroom. Lightroom enables you to edit your pictures with an intuitive interface, including a variety of superb characteristics.

Adobe Photoshop

For illustrators, developers and artists worldwide, Photoshop is the instrument to go. Photoshop's masking, retouching and layering tools are still some of the most impressive tools on the market, but it is fair to say that this tool is perhaps not the most suitable for a peculiar "basic" touch up. Photoshop is for experts who need all the whistles and bells.

TIPS ON HOW TO TAKE GOOD PHOTOS

Would you like to become a better photographer? All it requires is a little experience and know-how. Continue to read some key photo tips. Then take your camera and begin to shoot excellent photos.

Look your subject in the eye

Direct eye contact can be just as involved in a true life image. Hold the camera in the eye level to unlock the strength of those magnet looks and hypocritical smiles when you take a image of a person. And you don't always have to look at your camera. All in all, this angle of the eye level creates a private and inviting impression.

Use a plain background

The subject you are photographing indicates a clear context. If you look through the camera spectator, force yourself to explore the region around you.

Use flash outdoors

Bright sun can make a profound facial shadow attractive. Remove the shadows by lighting up your face using your flash. Turn your flash on when you take individuals photos on sunny days. You can choose fill-flash or full-flash mode. If the person is 5 feet away, use fill-flash mode; the full power mode may be required beyond 5 feet.

Lock the focus

You need to lock the focus to produce a sharp image if the subject is not in the middle of the image. In two steps you can usually lock the focus. Center the topic first, push on and hold down the shutter. Secondly, position your camera (with the shutter button still in place) to keep the object from the middle.

Watch the light

The light is the main component of each image next to the subject. A bright sunlight from the side may improve the wrinkles of an old grandmother. However, a cloudy day's soft light can subdue these discs.

One Rainy Day 

While waiting for the rain to stop, I saw this kids enjoying the rain so I took the chance to capture this moment. The other photo is taken when the rain had finally stopped. This certain scenery made me take my phone out, opened the camera and practiced what I have learned from our photography class.

I have always believed that only the beautiful people, places and things are the only worthy for good photography. I studied Arts for the sake of breaking this belief. As classes goes by, I have seen a few pictures of my classmates that are being shown to the whole class. At first they weren't really good but once you know the story, you'll be able to appreciate the photo.

But that is not the issue. No matter where you see pictures, either it is from magazine, newspaper or an ad. Your eyes will still catch the rare and beautiful pictures.
