Learn to take better everyday pictures TIP #2


     Do you wonder what you can change to make your photos a little better for your fridge, scrap book, photo albums, or to even post on social media? 

     I'll be sharing some tips over the next few weeks to help you take better everyday images that you can be proud of.
Today's tip is 
Shoot in thirds


     Photographers call this Rule of Thirds and it is one of the most recognized tools in photography.  Most cameras have a cheat on them (including phones) that give you 4 lines much like a # on your screen to easily use this rule.  This rule keeps your photos visually balanced, as most people go to one of the intersections of a photo instead of the middle.  How you use this easy tip is simply place your subject between two intersections, or on one of the 4 lines.  This applies to either vertically or horizontally.  I used the vertical lines in the photo above.  If you are taking a photo, of say a landscape, simply place have the sky in the top third of the image and the land/water in the bottom two thirds.  Or vice versa and the sky in the top two thirds and the land in the bottom one third.  The the images below I put the water in the in the lower third and the land and sky in the top two thirds. The man in the photo is in the right third while leaving the left two thirds open.  If you have any questions be sure to ask in the comment section or contact me through email.

My photography story

     I knew I wanted to be a photographer around the time my son turned 4.  Plus, I grew up with my dad always into photography and videography, he was always my inspiration.  So I got a cheap point and shoot camera and started shooting.  My first photos of my son I took I fell in love with and thought I was just born for photography. hahaha yea I look back on them and just laugh.  Now they were not horrible by any means but they definitely not the quality I believed them to be.  In the last 10 years I have grown soo much.  9 years ago, with the help of a group of very special ladies, I started taking photography classes and haven't stopped, some of them include NYIP, Rocky Mnt college, and through various other professional photographers.  I highly believe in you can never stop learning and if you stop learning you'll never grow.    Here is a picture of when I first started taking pictures.
