Approach your subject The object of your picture must be inside the frame.
You may want to take a step close to your subject so it fills your frame.
Even if you think you are close enough, you should get closer.
Capture the object of your photograph in the center of the lens and make it stand out from the background.
It takes practice to get a great shot.
However, you will improve your techniques by approaching your object.
Apply the Rule of Thirds The basic rule of thirds is great to arrange a balanced composition.
Make three columns and rows in your frame so you end up with six proportional rectangles and four intersections.
The intersections will be your focal points.
Anything you place in the intersections will become the central part of your photograph.
Some photographers place the subject eyes in the focal points to capture interesting close ups.
Every time you go out with your camera, try to imaginary divide your frame according to the rule of thirds.
Take advantage of Lighting Light is a main factor of creating great pictures.
Digital cameras absorb light from the environment.
Light is recorded and placed into a paper to create a picture.
You can get different effects with lighting alone.
If you are taking photos indoors, let the daylight enter the room by opening all the windows.
This help getting a uniform amount of light.
If you would like to take pictures outdoors, you will have to adapt to the light from the sun.
