As the weather slowly gets nicer this means the motivation to go outside is starting back up. Take Pictures! Here are some of my tips.

  1. Try not to shake the camera. Learn how your camera works or even use a tripod top-ten-digital-photography-tips2
  2. Incorporate depth in your images, give the viewers the sense that they are there. (Get closer) Image result for depth scenery
  3. Practice! The only way to get better is to shoot everyday and try new things often.
  4. Use flash in daylight! In the daylight their may be shadows that reflect but by turning on the flash they can be filled.
  5. Take candids, unplanned poses can lead to great surprises and successful photoshoots.
  6. Keep it simple! Don’t stress and overwhelm yourself, take it easy and slow down.

Course Selections

It’s that time of the year, course selections. This is a very stressful time because the classes you pick will define whether you will succeed or not. I’m trying to weigh it out and take some challenging classes while at the same time picking courses I enjoy. Photography will be one of the classes I will select to enroll in. I can’t wait to take a class that will focus on something that I am passionate about. In photography we learn how to handle cameras and all about the composition of taking pictures. Since photography is a half semester course I will also be taking graphic design. I will be trying something new, I’m so excited.

 

Attached is a picture of Harshita choosing her classes for next year!
