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.
