Photography Skills
I’ve always had an eye for a beautiful photograph but I never really knew how to take a beautiful one on purpose. The photos that I capture which I think are stunning, all seem to happen on accident. I learned some new and helpful tips in class though that I think will help me to take better pictures. For one, the “Rule of Thirds” is very important. I never knew about this secret photography rule before. Another important tip I learned is to shoot between 4-6PM because lighting is such an important factor and you can get the best lighting during those hours. Also, it is important to be aware of the differences in the sun during the different times of year. The sun can be a great tool for great photos. A good tip that applies to not only photojournalism but just journalism in general is to start by looking at works that are good and practice replicating it. Something that stuck out to me the most was that the iphone has camera lenses that you can purchase, just like you can for a regular camera.
