Here are more photos tips for great pictures. It may seem that there are endless tips for getting great photographs but if you just try these few tips I guarantee you will get amazing results.

  1. You can take stunning photos without spending a bundle.                                                                                                                                                        If you’re thinking about spending thousands on new cameras and lenses, think twice. People often end up disappointed that their shiny new toys aren’t producing that “wow” factor they were expecting.
    You can take stunning photos that you’ll be proud of, even with a modest digital camera fitted with its standard zoom lens. But you need to have a solid understanding of the basics.
    That’s why it is critical to master composition and light, before spending anything on new gear..
  2. The most important tip is have the sun at your back. Along with this have your subject in the shade. If you follow these 2 simple rules you have done 1/2 the battle. The sun is the best light we have but we need to know how to use it. You want the sun to light your subject. When you take photos into the sun your subjects will be dark because you will be fighting the powerful light from the sun. So use the sun as a light source. However, it is very bright and can create shadows so that’s why you want to put your subject in the shade. There still being lit by the sun but the shade softens it’s light. 
  3. Use the rule of THIRDS. More Photo tips for great pictures

    This rule helps you take eye-catching pictures by using one of the most effective rules of composition.

    If you want to take pictures that have a “wow” factor built in them, the Rule of Thirds is the composition secret you need to take advantage of!

    To use the rule of thirds, imagine four lines, two lying horizontally across the image and two vertical creating nine even squares. Some images will look best with the focal point in the center square, but placing the subject off-center at one of the intersecting points of the imaginary lines will often create a more aesthetically composed photograph.

    When a photograph is composed using the rule of thirds the eyes will wander the frame. A picture composed using the rule of thirds is usually more pleasing to the eye.

  4. Use a simple background. More Photo tips for great pictures

    The simple approach is usually the best in digital photography, and you have to decide what needs to be in the shot, while not including anything that is a distraction.

    If possible, choose a plain background – in other words, neutral colors and simple patterns. You want the eye to be drawn to the focal point of the image rather than a patch of color or an odd building in the background. This is especially vital in a shot where the model is placed off center

  5. Use Depth of Field,  More Photo tips for great pictures

    When photographing landscapes, it helps to create a sense of depth, in other words, make the viewer feel like they are there.                                 

    Use a wide-angle lens for a panoramic view and a small aperture of f/16 or smaller to keep the foreground and background sharp. Placing an object or person in the foreground helps give a sense of scale and emphasizes how far away the distance is.

    Use a tripod if possible, as a small aperture usually requires a slower shutter speed.

6. Polarizing filter. More Photo tips for great pictures

More Photo tips for great pictures . If you can only buy one filter for your lens, make it a polarizer. The recommended type of polarizer is circular because these allow your camera to use TTL (through the lens) metering such as auto exposure.

This filter helps reduce reflections from water as well as metal and glass; it improves the colors of the sky and foliage and will help give your photos the WOW factor. It will do all that while protecting your lens. There’s no reason why you can’t leave it on for all of your photography.

7. Use the Exposure Triangle 

To get your photos looking their best, you need to master the three basics: Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.

You also need to understand the relationships between these three controls. When you adjust one of them, you would usually have to consider at least one of the others, to get the desired results.

Using Auto Mode takes care of these controls, but you pay the price of not getting your photos to look the way you wanted them, and often disappointing.

It’s a better idea to learn how to use Aperture-priority or Shutter-priority modes, and ultimately shoot in Manual mode.
