It can be frustrating when that happens but you don't know how you did it. Learning some techniques can help change all that and almost ensure that almost all your future shots are amazing and good on a regular basis.
Photography Lighting Techniques
Lighting can be either your best friend or worst enemy. Photography lighting techniques can be as simple or as complex as you want. It will depend on what you are shooting. Maybe you want to take photos of cityscapes at night or photos in full sunlight - for good results you will need to understand good photography lighting techniques. Once you understand the basics of photography lighting techniques you will transform your photos into works of art.
Indoor Lighting Photography Techniques
There are different types of lighting you can use for indoor shots. Try using natural lighting that comes from windows, ceiling lights, candles, log fires, and any other indoor lighting. Many photographers use this to give a natural feel to their work. Often, though, there may not be enough natural light indoors. If this is the case, take a tip from portrait photography lighting techniques. Portrait photographers use big lights to flood their subject for the best results. The good thing is you can experiment with the light you have indoors.
Try taking a photo of your subject in different parts of the room using different types of lighting. This will give you an idea of what works. Experiment with the early morning sun streaming through the window then try backlighting the same subject and see the different effects. Indoor lighting subjects include a whole host of techniques and methods. It will become a natural instinct the more you play around with different effects.
Black and White Photography Techniques
Black and white photography techniques can produce some really nice results. If you are using a digital SLR camera, you will most likely have the option to capture your photos in black and white mode. Don't use this mode. Use full colour so you get the full depth of light and shade. Use a photo manipulation program like Adobe Photoshop to transform your image into black and white. If you were just using black and white, you would not have the flexibility to manipulate and play with the output that you now can.
Side lighting is a great way to include fabulous outcomes and effects to black and white photographs. Side lighting will create shadows on ordinary objects and give them a different perspective. This is an effective black and white photography technique that has great results on objects that are highly textured. Experiment by changing the camera angle and different lighting techniques. Use side lighting to enhance your black and white landscapes, people and buildings.
Street Photography Techniques
Street photography can produce some amazing results. They are shots of day to day occurrences; moments in time captured outdoors. A good technique is to sit, watch and listen; focus on what is happening around you. See the world differently. There is nothing more interesting than a candid shot of a moment in time. Here are some street photography techniques that may help you when out on the street:
- Tune into your surroundings. Learn to sense moments of climax such as laughter or loud voices.
- Be relaxed and enjoy your surroundings.
- Use crowded places you can walk in and out of to get your candid street shots.
- Don't be invasive of people's personal space, try using a zoom lens. This will not always work and you can lose some of the emotion you are trying to capture.
- Practice taking shots spontaneously or without raising the camera up to face. Practice taking photos from any position.
There is so much to learn about photography and, the more you learn the more addictive photography becomes.
