10 Tips for Taking Better Pictures
Tip 1 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.
Tip 2 Plain Background
Look for plain backgrounds and avoid strong patterns or clutter behind your subject. A single subject against a plain background will stand out better and make a stronger image. If what’s behind your subject is visually imposing it will distract attention from your subject. 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.
Tip 3 Change Your Perspective “ Vantage Point”
Get creative with your angles. Sometimes, you may need to get into an awkward position to get a great photo. Go for it. The most obvious way to take a picture is from a standing position, holding the camera in front of you, at eye level. Sometimes that works just fine, but don’t be afraid to get creative with your angles. If you want to transform your photography from ordinary to extraordinary, change your perspective. Choose a different vantage point when you compose a picture. Try shooting from a low angle with the focus on the foreground of the picture, for a blurry background. Or you can try the exact opposite.
Tip 4 Close UP/ Macro
Get close to your subject. Getting close is a fascinating way of seeing your subject from a totally new viewpoint. By moving in closer you start to see new details that were just a blur of colors from a distance, and the world of nature, for one, takes on a whole new look.
Tip 5 Repetition/Pattern
An object or shape that repeats can create a pattern. Capturing these patterns can create a calm, rhythmic feeling. You can create an artistic pattern with common objects. The more repeating objects you have in your photograph, the more likely you are to capture stunning patterns and optical illusions.
Tip 6 Balance/Symmetry
Also called formal balance, symmetrical balance is the most common way to photograph an image. … In symmetrically balanced photos, both sides of the frame have equal weight and may even mirror each other. Subjects are intentionally centered to look perfectly symmetrical when split horizontally or vertically in half. .” You know symmetry when you see it, and it often times stops you in your tracks. Think of it like this: what’s on the left is the same as what’s on the right. Or what’s on the top is the same as what’s on the bottom.
Tip 7 Take Horizontal Pictures – 2 PHOTOS
That’s partly because of the simple fact that when you shoot a photo horizontally, you have the ability to capture much more of what you see. It gives you a wider canvas instead of forcing you to squeeze everything into the narrow area of your vertical smartphone screen.
Tip 8 Photograph what you love
Focusing on what you love will make photography more enjoyable for you. If you are passionate about nature, people, pets, or something else entirely, start learning and improve your photography by taking pictures of it.
For this tip find 2 photos of a subject you like and can see yourself taking photos of in the future:
Tip 9 – Reflections m
Reflections are incredibly beautiful, and once you start looking for them, you’ll be surprised to discover that they are all around us. The first step is easy – find a reflective surface! Once you train your eye for it, you’ll realize that reflective surfaces are literally all around us. Some of the most beautiful reflections are found on the surface of water. Any bodies of water including tiny puddles are perfect for reflection photography.
In addition to water, you can find great reflections on any glass surfaces, shiny cars, on ice or even your own sunglasses.
Tip 10 Watch the light
When taking portraits of people make sure to have even lighting. Stay out of harsh sun and dappled sunlight. Avoid harsh shadows. Overcast days are perfect days for portraits!

Macro/Close Up Challenge
Definition:
Macro Photography: Macro photography is a form of close-up photography. Close up photography refers to a tightly cropped shot that shows a subject (or object) up close and with significantly more detail than the human eye usually perceives. With close up photography, you reduce the field of view, increasing the size of the subject, and creating a tight frame around your selected shot.
