People do not merely look at photos without any meaning. The pictures have to convey some degree of feelings and convey the same to its viewers. Emotions like happy mood, sadness, crying face, eyes with tears of joy, screaming images all contribute immensely to the success of taking those photos. There are many emotions in this world and we all go through some emotion or the other in our lives. Images are not only technical productions but are emotive as well. People will appreciate only such pictures which relate to their lives in some or the other way. 2. Proper viewpoint and camera angle: Another important thing which contributes to a great picture is its proper composition which involves proper viewpoint and the angle from you take your pictures. Taking pictures from different viewpoints and angles convey different meaning to its viewer. Even the most mundane of things appear to be classy and exotic when taken from some particular angle. Here I would quote an example of the famous picture of an Afghan Girl taken by the team of National Geographic. One would not see the reason why that simple picture of a girl with half her face hidden behind a veil would shake humanity. But on a closer look we will find that it captures so many different emotions on the face that one cannot help but notice. There are a number of angles like high angel shots, low angle shots and the angle at your eye’s level. But the technique is to capture a perfect picture from a low angle. Low angle shots give lot of strength and character to an otherwise boring subject. Through these shots we can really see the world from a completely different perspective which has been forgotten by us in the daily routine of life. A low angle shot not only makes the picture more interesting but also adds more power to it. 3. The art of overlaying pictures One technique which is sure to place you in the same pedestal as the hotshots of the photography world is the blending of two or more pictures into one so that one single picture conveys different sets of meanings. This is not an easy job to learn but one can definitely become an expert in it with lots of practice. 4. Creation of special effects in photography: 5. Lighting and texture: the use of proper lighting and texture help in adding depth to your picture. One must learn the correct usage of this technique as it will help one in focusing people’s attention to the main subject thus blocking the other mundane things in the same picture. By learning this technique you would learn how to shift your focus to a more important issue that needs to be conveyed. Another technique to clicking good pictures is the proper usage of textures. You will surely want people to actually visualize the snow capped Alps when you show them the photo of Switzerland. 6. Focus on one main interest: It is a very important factor in taking a good picture. When taking a picture, always have one subject of interest based on which the entire photography has to be done. A picture which carries too many ideas is bound to confuse our senses. Each picture must have a central idea on which the subordinate ideas must be based. Such subordinate ideas must focus on the principal feature .It is but natural for human eyes to look for one particular thing and therefore adding too many concepts in to one single image is going to puzzle its viewers. 7. Simplicity: 8. Correct placement of the subject matter: Another factor which should be kept in mind is the exact geometrical placement of the subject matter. Many a time people make the mistake of placing the focal point of interest at the centre of the picture. This adds to the picture turning out to be boring and dull. Doing this will take away the very purpose of snapping that shot. 9. Balance: 10. Using your camera: The proper usage of a camera is yet another technique which is very basic to learning photography. It includes the shutter speed of the camera, camera shake with hand held pictures and digital exposure techniques. The shutter speed of a camera helps in capturing emotions, isolating subjects and can also freeze motions or movements. Learners must practice the use of shutter speed located in their ordinary cameras while learning photography. Another technique which should be learnt is the art of taking shots without shaking the camera. This is a very common problem which has been faced by many of us. There are many pictures where one can see distorted faces or shaken and blurry images. Digital exposure techniques like whether one should over expose the subject matter or under expose are also important considerations while learning photography. End
