Do you know the expression “a photo is worth a thousand words ? Well, with amateur photography this is not always the case…..
Are you sometimes disappointed with your photos ? When we visit great places we want to capture the moment on our phone cameras or with a “traditional” camera….. and then we say “well, the photo doesn’t do the place justice” and we end up deleting the photo !!!!!!
In this podcast Chris gives some tips to Sue (who is definitely in the “disappointed/delete” category) about how to make her snaps come alive !
Chris knows what he is talking about and sometimes it sounds a bit too technical to Sue, but see if you can hear what he says about:
Putting the settings on manual
Eye level photos
Social media feedback
Framing the photo
Shutter speed
Aperture
Tripods
Light sightings
White balance
Deep of field
Grid for straight photos
The Rule of thirds
ND filters
Practice
