Learn About the Rule of Thirds!!
A few tips to get better photographs
Even in you are a pro photographer, there is always room to improve. So, pro or not, here are a few tips to get better shots.
1. Get down to your subject’s level. This applies to kids, pets, flowers, almost everything. Try a different angle to see how it looks.
2. Use flash outdoors. When taking photos of friends or family, use your pop -up flash. Believe me, your photos will look better. It will get rid of the harsh shadows.
3. Use a plain background when photographing people, pets, etc. There will be less distraction to take away from the subject.
4.Take a vertical shot. Most people get used to taking horizontal shots. Mix it up an bit and throw in an odd vertical.
5. Use the rule of thirds (if you don’t know what it is, I did a post on it, so go find it.). Better composition always helps a photo.
6. Shoot down. It adds a creative angle to the shot!(check out the photo below.)

Rule the World with the Rule of Thirds
If you want to get good at composition, you need to know about this rule. The rule of thirds is probably the most popular “rule” in art and photography. How does it work you ask? Well, imagine two lines dividing your photograph horizontally and two vertically.

Above are examples of the Rule of Thirds at work. Notice the placement of the moose? The moose is placed where the lines intersect. This is the Rule of Thirds. You place your subject on one of the intersecting lines (click on the photos and you can see an enlarged version of them). Using the rule of thirds in this photo makes it more visually stimulating.
Notice in the photo of lake. Look where I placed the sky in this photo. This is the Rule of Thirds at work again. This rule works great for landscapes.
