As a rule, any photographer strives to make a shot of the highest quality: moderately lit, with a well-viewed scene, measured composition and the central subject of the shooting in the foreground. But in what form, besides bad advice, can you explain the typical mistakes of novice photographers?
Instructions
Step 1
Bad photography starts long before it clicks. When shooting with arms outstretched, you will definitely be able to catch the blurry landscape. Pressing your hands firmly against your face and body, or simply using a tripod, you would not achieve this effect. It is almost impossible to restore sharpness.
Step 2
Shoot at dusk. The lighting at this time of day is no longer bright enough to shoot without the flash, but not yet dark enough to shoot with it. You will never be able to reproduce the exact colors as seen by your eyes.
Step 3
Use the built-in flash of the camera, especially when taking pictures of people in front. If the model does not squint, creating a picture in the spirit of "Just woke up", then the light will be reflected from her pupils in red. However, this defect can be removed with a graphical editor.
Step 4
Take pictures of small objects in panorama mode. In a general shot, details, especially in dim colors, are completely lost, the frame becomes empty. For high-quality shooting, every detail is photographed separately in macro or super macro mode. Likewise, for a bad shot with a large subject, focus on one part of it.
Step 5
The White Balance (WB) button is not for you. If you do not adjust the color before each shot, the white will gradually turn to green, and the black to blue-gray with red stripes. Other colors will also be distorted: green will turn pink or brown, warm shades will turn cold, and vice versa.
Step 6
Boost your light sensitivity to the maximum. In this case, ripples will be noticeable in each shot - the so-called noise, similar to the noise in video recording. Low light sensitivity negates the appearance of such a defect, and now it will be very difficult to get rid of it.
Step 7
Exposure metering should be in negative values in the dark and in positive values in the daytime. In this case, there will never be enough light in the frame: too much during the day, too little at night.
