Photography is for everybody but you need to refine your skills if you want to make a name. Capturing breath-taking photos is the main goal of photographers. Before you become so good at it, you will have to be novice first. You are not expected to be that good at the onset. To help you with this, you should know some tricks on refining you skill.
Here are some hacks on refining your photography:
- Shoot every day: If you shoot every day, you will get better at it. It is preferable if you have a DSLR kit but if you do not have one as of the moment, a camera phone can be of great help. Just point and shoot regardless of the camera. The important thing is you make pictures and the type of camera doesn’t matter.
- Keep cameras within your reach: You have to remember that breath-taking moments can happen anytime and if you do not want to miss the opportunities of capturing it, keep your cameras within your reach. You never know what you will see so always bring something.
- Take time reading the manual: If you are using a DSLR camera, it can be pretty overwhelming for newbies. The best solution is to read the manual before actually using it. Yes, reading a manual is boring but a night or two can tell you a lot of things. Just remember that you need to read in order to capture good photos.
- Know thy gear: Part of knowing your gear is to read the manual. It pays if you know the settings of your camera. Before pointing or shooting at something, make sure you are using the correct settings.
- Change your perspective: Yes, you can settle with eye level but where is the fun in that. People are already seeing the world from eye level. If you take pictures from eye level, it doesn’t create a magical feel. It is time that you change your perspective or angle. Take professional photographers, they constantly defy the normal and look for new perspectives. Your goal here is to let the world see other angles.
- Learn from workshops: You cannot learn everything on your own that is why you have to consider the input of other people. You will meet many people from workshops. So next time you hear a photography workshop, make time for it.
There are many photographers here in Singapore – professional and those who just love it for fun. Whatever you decide, make sure that you love what you do because creating breath-taking photos will follow.
