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.
