Photography mistakes to avoid.

1.Not paying attention to the background:

Look at what is in the background.sometimes,we get so focused on capturing our subject that we dont notice what is going on in the background. Always capture pictures in a place with a beautiful background. It could be flowers, tree or even a coloured background. Always make your subject stand out!.

2.Not thinking about lighting:

Lighting is the key. Great lighting can make a mundane subject look like something out of a magazine.focus on natural light that isn't too harsh and it will change everything. Try to avoid artificial light as much as you can because they produce different undertones.

3.sticking to the same angles:

This means Not examining many perspectives available to you before you take the shot or only viewing one perspective. Different and unique perspectives provide interest in otherwise normal or standard photographs.

4.Not worryong about focus:

Please make sure you find your focus point and point it at your intended subject prior to composing the shot so the image will be focused properly when you pulll the trigger!

5.Shooting Right into the sun:

Alot of beginners think that taking photos with bright light in front of you or your subject is great. Big no-no,you typically dont want to take photos facing a light source. Since your camera will adjust to the brightness of that source,and the rest of your picture will be dark.

And thats it for today! I hope you have started taking note and i want this to be your first step towards taking amazing shots! Mini lesson will still continue and dont forget to check out the tag #plwr for other mini lesson!.
