Ways to Capture Great Photos

Look your subject in the eye

    

  Direct eye contact can be as engaging in a picture as it is in real life. When taking a picture of someone, hold the camera at the person’s eye level to unleash the power of those magnetic gazes and mesmerizing smiles.

     For children, that means stooping to their level. And your subject need not always stare at the camera. All by itself that eye level angle will create a personal and inviting feeling that pulls you into the picture.

                                                                                

Use a plain background

A plain background shows off the subject you are photographing. When you look through the camera viewfinder, force yourself to study the area surrounding your subject. Make sure no poles grow from the head of your favorite niece and that no cars seem to dangle from her ears.

Use flash outdoors

Bright sun can create unattractive deep facial shadows. Eliminate the shadows by using your flash to lighten the face. When taking people pictures on sunny days, turn your flash on. You may have a choice of fill-flash mode or full-flash mode. If the person is within five feet, use the fill-flash mode; beyond five feet, the full-power mode may be required. With a digital camera, use the picture display panel to review the results.

Move it from the middle

Center-stage is a great place for a performer to be. However, the middle of your picture is not the best place for your subject. Bring your picture to life by simply moving your subject away from the middle of your picture. Start by playing tick-tack-toe with subject position. Imagine a tick-tack-toe grid in your viewfinder. Now place your important subject at one of the intersections of lines. You’ll need to lock the focus if you have an auto-focus camera because most of them focus on whatever is in the center of the viewfinder.

Lock the focus

If your subject is not in the center of the picture, you need to lock the focus to create a sharp picture. Most auto-focus cameras focus on whatever is in the center of the picture. But to improve pictures, you will often want to move the subject away from the center of the picture. If you don’t want a blurred picture, you’ll need to first lock the focus with the subject in the middle and then recompose the picture so the subject is away from the middle.

Usually you can lock the focus in three steps. First, center the subject and press and hold the shutter button halfway down. Second, reposition your camera (while still holding the shutter button) so the subject is away from the center. And third, finish by pressing the shutter button all the way down to take the picture.

Be a picture director

Take control of your picture-taking and watch your pictures dramatically improve. Become a picture director, not just a passive picture-taker. A picture director takes charge. A picture director picks the location: “Everybody go outside to the backyard.” A picture director adds props: “Girls, put on your pink sunglasses.” A picture director arranges people: “Now move in close, and lean toward the camera.”

Most pictures won’t be that involved, but you get the idea: Take charge of your pictures and win your own best picture awards.

FANGIRL THING 💙

My Life as a Fangirl

   For most teenagers nowadays, admiring a person is just a normal thing, but being a fan girl is more fun and at the same time it's hard. 

 All the people that is known as Fangirls, devote themselves into movies, tv shows, books, vlogs, music, and celebrities all the time. Whether it's all about purchasing the newest merchandize of your idols, or attending their concerts and mall shows.  Every Fan girls makes a mission to support their obsessions as much as possible. 

 For me, fangirling started when my friend told me back then about the most famous love team known as "Kathniel". It started out as a simple hobby, watching their movies and teleseryes, and soon become my obsession. I also started following the love team on social media in the begining that quickly turned into purchasing different kinds of stuffs about them like albums, books, posters, keychains, and even pillows that have their faces on them.

They're the first thing that comes on our mind when we wake up, and the last thought that comes before going to bed. And as a Fan you are always updated on their status/post on social media. To be honest, being a Fan girl was never been easy. From the constant heartache that results from  knowing that you'll never be with them, and still hoping that one day , all your dreams will come true.

    Being a fan girl has a lot of positive impacts that overpower the negative ones. I realized that when I experienced the most memorable moment in my life and also every fan girls dream, meet their idols. Not seeing them in the stage and far from you like in the mall shows but meeting them face to face!!  When I first met them personally they are always thanking you for your support and telling you how much they love and appreciate you.

  "It can be a roller coaster ride of emotions", so being a fan girl has its ups and downs, but in the end once you meet your idols you didn't expect how happier you are.
