Digital Photography Blog. Framing Your Picture.
When taking a picture it is best to have a frame in the picture, not a frame that you create, but a natural frame as in the picture creates it itself with its natural surroundings and objects around it. Foreground elements are usually used to create a frame for a picture. Frames in pictures isolate your main subject in the picture and create a natural, interesting picture.


Digital Photography Blog. The Rule of Thirds.
The Rule of Thirds make nicely balanced pictures. The Rule of Thirds is like dividing a picture into three parts or thirds. The picture is divided vertically and horizontally. When taking a picture setting the object or subject where the lines intersect so that the picture doesn’t turn out so boring.

Kodak. Photographing Birthdays.
When taking photos of a child on his or her birthday try to catch all the emotion, excitement, surprises, and so on. When taking pictures of a child and the cake with burning candles, you should always turn off the flash button so that you get a better picture of everything. Weather its your child turning 2, your mom who is about to be 38, or your grandpa who is turning 80. The photo will always be special.


Top Ten Reviews. Watch Your Background.
Try to make sure that your background is simple and doesn't have any distractions to it like people making faces in the background, trees everywhere or going through peoples heads, or bodies. Try to have no distractions what so ever. When your background is simple it makes the subject/object stand out better. Try to keep things looking natural to without making any changes to anything.


Top Ten Reviews. Go outdoors if possible.
They say that natural sunlight produces better photo lighting results. The skin color is natural and unaffected by the strange colors from not natural lighting, like from the inside…the lights could or can be dimmer and dark. Also using a flash indoors can make a picture look funny and discolored. Taking pictures outdoors can also bring out natural colors in the surrounding around you and make everything look beautiful and lively. Also taking photos outside can create a natural lighting for everything and keep the natural colors of the subject you are taking a photo of.


Top Ten Reviews. Use a flash outdoors.
The bright sun outside can sometimes create dark shadows in and around subjects/objects.
Dark shadows are usually around faces of people when taking photos outside in the sunlight. When taking photos outdoors in the sunlight it is best to set your flash to Fire. This eliminates the shadows around peoples faces and other subjects. When the shadows are eliminated the photo looks more beautiful and you get a well-lit photo.

GeoffLawrence.com. Direction of Lighting.
Light takes a big role in taking pictures and it is very important to how the light falls on your subject. To know if your subject is in the right place or positioning it to where there are no shadows. It is best to take photos when the sun is low in the sky like early in the morning or late at night when the sun is really low. When taking pictures outside while the sun is up in the sky it makes the subject shadowy, or if your taking a picture of someone the sun tends to make the person squint or have funny looking eyes.


Dale Laboratories. Get Close to Your Subject......Especially With "People" Shots.
Try to fill your frame with your primary subject. When you eliminate the sides and other things you will get a better and interesting picture. You will also minimize the red eyes that the flash causes from being too far away. You can also get a more dramatic and up close photo that everyone can enjoy, but with more detail of the subject or person.


Dale Laboratories. Use a faster shutter speed.
Camera movement is usually the cause of blurred images in a picture. When taking a picture of something or someone try to use a high shutter speed to eliminate the movement of the person and camera motion. When you use high shutter speed it helps to take away movement of any kind in a picture. That can create a better looking picture and of course a more still photo.


Dale Laboratories. Watch Your Flash Sync Speed.
The mistake that people make is using a camera with a high shutter speed that is over the synchronization speed. That is why the picture ends up half blocked is because of the focal plane shutter. The camera capacity level shoud show up on your camera shutter speed indicator.

Photos taken around our village.

These are some photos that Mary and I have taken around the village. One picture is of me that Mary took at the beach and the fish racks are in the background. The other is of Mary at the playground posing for the camera and last but not least the other is of the windmills. I just wanted to take a picture of them because they look so peaceful and calming.

Confusion.....What to do about it.......

I first of all have something to say about this one particular person....but, I am not saying names here so deal with it. Ok, there is this one person in my school who makes me really mad and sometimes I can get tired of that person, always lying about things well, not always but most of the time. That person can say anything about anyone without having any consideration about how other people have treated that person. That person doesn't like it when I treat other people like crap or give them crap but, the thing that makes me mad is that when that person is mad at me or anyone else that person don't like to be bothered, talked to sometimes, and doesn't like being told " I told you so!" I describe this person as a Maniac who who talks to much. Thats all I have to say about that person.
