GiftWorksPlus, your leader in personalized picture frames and customized gifts continues its blog series for taking better photographs with three additional tips. These focus on how you hold your camera, which may sound simple. However, the results from following these steps can take your photographs from mundane to magnificent:
1. Hold it steady
2. Vary the angle
3. Choose the orientation
One of the main reasons a good picture is ruined is because it is blurry. GiftWorksPlus knows it is easy to become so excited that the picture ends up being out of focus. To prevent “soft focus” issues, photographers need to hold their cameras steady. Ideally, a camera will be mounted to a stabilization device such as a tripod. However, not every situation lends itself to tripod use. If you need to take a photograph freehand, the most effective way is to use both hands and to keep your elbows pressed in against your rib cage.
GiftWorksPlus, known for cute picture frames and customized gifts, encourages you to think about the angle you are shooting from when you are composing your photograph. Too often, pictures are taken face on. And though this can effectively record the image for posterity, the angle could be varied to add more interest. Simply by taking pictures from different heights, you can gain a variety of interesting perspectives.
Finally, you have two orientation options for taking a picture: horizontal or vertical. When choosing how to hold the camera for a picture, notice the details in the photograph. If there is only a central subject that you want to capture, GiftWorksPlus recommends holding the camera vertically to reduce the extra details. However, if there are additional details that will enhance the photograph, hold the camera horizontally. This orientation often works well for landscapes. For tall objects or structures, choose vertical orientation.
When you are ready to frame your masterpieces, visit GiftWorksPlus.com to find a full line of engraved wooden frames and personalized gifts. Most GiftWorksPlus customizable frames are available in both horizontal and vertical orientations with free personalization options.
