I noticed that some of you guys were talking about techniques and styles in taking photos using high end or ordinary digital cameras in picture of the day thread.

I started this thread for us to be able to have a venue to share how we can improve our skills in photography. May it be a Pro like capture or just a beginner.

Share your views, ideas and suggestions on how to capture and create good pictures.

the shot is good.

the framing however can be improved.

Ever herad about the law of thirds? Photographers also say that a composition, to attin the formal balance may have to be composed (framed) in a way that the entire viewfinder is arbitrarilly divided into three horizontal and three verical lines. Here, your points of interest may be located on the lower horizontal or upper horizontal lines (also horizons in landscapes) while the vertical lines would have the accents?

thanks, apothecary.

actually, it's a stolen shot. yeah, rule of the thirds and the golden mean wherein the main subject of an image should be placed at the intersecting points created (roughly) by the lines.

ISO problably was high, the light was good but a bit too bright. I have no problem of the third or fourth, the capture was perfect.

Use lower ISO when lightings are substancial and dont use flash. But again it is difficult to shot candid shots.

That could have been like this... I only modified the brightness, as you can notice the shadow behind his hair compared to the previous with no shadows at all, and you can even distinguish the shape of his face

. But again most candid shots needs to be modified if you have a PUTOSHAP! Otherwise thats one hell of a shot.

I learned that most photographers still use their point and shoot gadgets and I do still use my point and shoot camera.

Huy you dont need high mega ultra pixels kay di man gikinahanglan ug dako sa internet, unless maghimo kag negos nga advertising sa billboard kana kinahanglan na jud kag tag 12.something mega pix.

BTW, I also would like to thank Macky for this knowledge. He is one of my mentor in photography.

I´m not a technical freak, so I use a simple Sony with 8 mega pixels, if I want to focus on a face,i-sentro nako sa ilong, kon whole body, sa tiyan. Kon panorama, sa maapas lang sa kong camera.I usually make candid shots. My camera is old but makes wonderful pictures and it is very easy to use.

any suggestions to improve the shot?

My approach would be a tighter crop cause of the eye contact, i would give emphasis on the eyes cause of the joy within it. Tama sad na you should consider right composition but again its subjective not all can be included in rules of thirds. Again photography is also breaking the rules.

My processing approach would be subtle cause I want to retain the sense of candidness within the image and I would also darken the surrounding areas of the image making the viewers draw focus within the eyes and facial expression.

I hope you don't mind.

Im not a master nor a pro but I love making images.

One golden tip that I learned thru photography is "Pixels are free so keep on shooting"

Strong odor?

A strong presence can not be cultivated or developed, it is intrinsic in a person. My example to this is Penelope Cruz, Eva Mendez, or Alma Moreno. Your beauty belongs to this. ( Ajaw lanay bot-bot Belle!)
