Learn to take better everyday photos TIP #4

      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
Fill the Frame
    
     Today we are going to be talking about filling the frame of your lens.  By this I am saying get in close and have your subject fill edge to edge as you are looking it the viewfinder or screen you are looking through.  By doing so you are eliminating distractions in your photo.   For example you see in my first shot that there are dishes drying on the counter, my daughter cup and her ball laying on the floor.  Non of these things help tell your story so I filled my frame with just her in my second picture.  Great shot but didn't tell me what she was doing at that very moment in time and pulled back just a little bit and filled the frame with her kindle and her.  When I look back on this photo a few years from now, and cry about how fast the time flew by, I will know that she was learning to count on her kindle.   You can use this tip anywhere people, animals, flowers, anywhere where you can get closer and reduce distractions.  And you can accomplish this by zooming in or getting closer.  If you are using a phone or digital zoom camera I would use caution as zooming with these will lower the quality of your shot.  I will give you some more filling the frame examples down below so you can see more uses for this tip then shooting children.



 That is all for today, thank you for joining me!!!  If you want more tips and do not want to miss them, make sure you subscribe to my page, its right there at the top.   Can't wait to share more tips for shooting amazing everyday photos, that you'll love and be proud to show off.

Getting ready to travel or go on vacation and don't know what camera equipment to bring?

      Are you getting ready to travel and don't know what to bring and how?  I'll walk you through what I bring.  I'm on the go a lot.  Usually going to where ever my husband is working at the time.  I pack the kids up after school on Fridays (or which ever day is getting out for the weekend that week) and head to visit daddy.  We all know I can't go anywhere with out my camera.  I have this awesome little backpack the fits my body, two lenses, extra CF and SD cards, my shot log so I can keep track of my camera settings, filters, batteries, chargers and a remote shutter.  It may seem like a lot but this little backpack holds it all.  I bring my EF 24-105mm 1.4 L lens and a EF 75-300mm 1.4 lens so I am covered for anything I may need to shoot.  The 24-105mm lens is good for shoots in the truck or even the airplane if you are flying.  If you are going to be close to your subject I would have this lens on the camera.  It...
