Everyone who knows the camera, always trying to make a better picture every time you take a picture. The tips I describe below may be something new for you beginner, or something that is often forgotten by those who have often taken pictures. Here are some tips and tricks to quickly fix your:
Compose the subject (rule of thirds).
Composition is the basic thing about how we put the subject of the photo on the photo field compared to other elements in the photo. For some beginners the subject of the photo is often positioned on the center of the photo. Now try something different by not putting it in the middle. First step by creating an imaginary line that divides the field of photograph into three parts towards the vertical and horizontal. On some DSLR, you just turn on the grid facility, so that will appear the lines on the viewfinder. Then place the subject of your photo on the outer third of it, it can be anywhere from the center. The placement of the subject of the photo in this position will reinforce the dynamic impression of a photograph, this method is better known as the term of rule of thirds.
Angle of view (angle of view).
Do not stare to keep taking pictures with a position as high as we stand. Try experimenting with taking different shooting angles. From the point of shooting lower (low angle) or from a higher angle (high angle). Find a place that allows you in a higher or lower position. For example you can lie down on the floor for lower shooting angles or use chairs and stairs, for higher shooting angles. With variations of shooting angles, you have more choices and can decide which photos are best among them.
With a high shooting angle, I get a different scene. Subjects appear with shadow elements, and the terrain curve succeeds well. The sky I deliberately did not put in the composition to avoid the contrast of the light that is too large with the terracing.
Format shooting
If most of the photos will work well with the horizontal (landscape) format, why then do not you try varying by taking also in vertical format (portrait). This will give you the flexibility to select photos later. Many new things will occur when we want to select the shots. For a one-time moment, it's a shame that you do not have multiple options, so vary the shooting format.
Photography is not a math, so there is no absolute rule. But before trying to break the rules, of course you must understand the rules first. It's funny to want to break the rules but at the same time not know what rules will be violated. Through a good understanding of the rules, photos created by breaking the rules will have greater chances of being outstanding photos. So try experimenting.
The above tips may seem complicated when read, but when you continue to practice, everything will become a reflex that automatically works to synergize the eyes, mind, and hands. So good luck and keep practicing.
