[karachi-Friends] How to Take Great Pictures

PERSISTENCE

When you are trying to capture a great picture do not expect to get extraordinary results in just one click. Like every great thing in life photographic skills also grow up slowly but surely in one's personality. Try every option in your camera and explore every feature it has to offer until you remember full functionality of your camera so that when time comes and a flash of creativity hits your mind while looking at a certain condition you will exactly know which feature to use and how to use it to get what the photograph deserves.

PATIENCE

Brilliance doesn't work on schedule. Don't wait for moments to come to you instead go out and go look for it. Try different timings like early morning or late evening to get exquisite unique photographs.

OBSERVE 

Many people just see, they don't look or to be more accurate they don't observe. A photographer surely should not develop such mediocrity in him. If you really want to take great photographs make it most dominant thought in your mind and you will develop a 'photographer's eye' which will help you to observe things which would seem mundane to others.

PASSION

CURIOSITY, PERFECTION

Photograph subjects for which you have a true curiosity. You have to find them interesting if you want the people who see your work to find them interesting, too

EYE CONTACT 

Apart from the traditional way where, the subject looked just below the lens (Which in fact gives good results) try to make your subject  look in different directions like looking away from the camera or looking into something or someone within the frame like A child looking at a ball, a woman looking at her new baby, a man looking hungrily at a big plate of pasta. When you give your subject something to look at that is inside the frame you create a second point of interest and a relationship between it and your primary subject. It also helps create 'story' within the image

LIGHTING 

Lighting is the most important technical stuff you need to develop sensitivity towards. As you develop this sensitivity you will be able to understand when the light looks right to capture the look you want, and when to put away the camera and grab lunch. With this ability you also will learn to be able to modify light with simple reflectors and scrims to help create your look. The smaller your subject, the easier it is to modify light. Portrait, bug and flower photographers do this all the time; landscape photographers usually have to wait for the right light.
