Usual Mistakes in Photography

By Shawn Smith

Taking pictures impulsively either results with a magnificent photograph or uncomplimentary one. But occasionally, due to some mistakes that are committed, taking planned footage results into bad ones. Like having a red eye which is due to shooting in a low-lighting condition with a camera-mounted flash. The way to get round this is to turn up the lights and turn off the flash and ensure the camera's red-eye reduction mode is turned on.

When you shoot a picture, you have to have steady arms so as to prevent making a blurry photo but staying still makes your muscles get tired. Using a tripod could help but it is not convenient to be always carrying it. Except for moving, having a blurry photo is also caused by certain circumstances like a slow shutter speed or the image wasn't in sharp focus. This sort of problem may be solved by ensuring the autofocus mechanism is locking in the subject or set it manually. Having a slow shutter speed can be fixed by increasing the ISO or give the camera a faster shutter speed to work with.

Underexposed subjects or where the environment is too dark and a shortage detail is the most common exposure problem. To prevent this, use the camera's exposure adjustment to overexpose the scene a little and add more light to the subject.

Clustered photos are also unobserved at first until you become a professional photographer but too much is bad. Having a lot of things going on the background would overpower the topic so try to have a less clustered background.

Putting the date and time below the photo or having a border becomes disturbing as well. Let the photo speak for itself and allow the details to be seen by not having any added enhancement. Try and take advantage of some of these hints to become a better photographer.
