What should I make sure to do? What should I think about?
- How can a situation/object look more
interesting than they do in real life?
- Think
about every single object in the frame. Are you sure you want it to be
there?
- Think
about what you are trying to say with the photograph. Is it just “pretty”,
or are you trying to tell the view something?
- Think
about the camera angle…is it boring? Does it help to say something about
the subject?
- Think
about what focal length you want. Wide angle or zoom. Try framing the shot
in different focal lengths before taking a picture. Which is the best
composition?
- Think
about where you point you camera to meter a scene. Is it a really dark
place or a really light place? Make sure it is not too light or too dark.
Make sure to use correct exposure. DON'T even bother taking the photo if you
don’t have good lighting
