Capturing photos is indeed the greatest way of stopping a moment or an event in one’s life. That’s why, photography is a trend that never expires.
Sometimes, people would just take shots and shots just for uploading purposes or for self-benefits but sometimes, a simple picture can relive one’s memory and restore something that will never happen again.
Are you a photography enthusiast? How vital is photography in your life? Well, let me give you the basic tips on taking a good shot.
It doesn’t matter how good the quality of your camera is, how expensive it is or how latest the model is. It does not guarantee that you’re always going to have a perfect or simply a good shot. It depends on you - you who is handling the camera, you who is creating the perfect angle for a subject by just applying the EDFAT rule.
When you’re shooting your subject, consider the entirety of it, how wide you would take the shot and what are the things that would be occupied.
Then, know your detail, for when in an instant or at the first look of a viewer on the photo, the subject detail must be emphasized. You must also check the setting background that might be disturbing to the subject detail. Get to know your subject and if it’s a person, talk with him/her as you shoot. Soon they won’t be just a subject anymore but an interesting individual.
Think about the framing. Your subject detail is usually not to be on center all the time because it makes the image awkward. So there comes the Rule of Thirds. Imagine breaking an image down into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, so that you have 9 parts. With this grid in mind, try to identify the important parts of your subject and consider placing them in points of intersection. In this, your image becomes balanced and will enable a viewer to interact with it more naturally.
Next is, what would the subject look like from a different angle? Try to find it by taking many shots of different angles and perspectives.
And during that photography exercise, you have been using the last element which is time, first is the series of shutter speed and second is the span of time that allows you to look in full details in many image possibilities.

More importantly, you have brought up yourself into a new photographic perspective. You don’t just take photographs but you now put a purpose in taking it.
