Taking a good photo

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN TAKING PHOTO'S:

RULE OF THIRDS-of course
FOCAL POINT-get closer or zoom in on your focal point.
BALANCE-Does your artwork look balanced?  Is it to empty on one side opposed to the other.
CONTRAST-Look at the dark and light colors next to each other-it will be more interesting if you show higher areas of contrast.
REFLECTED LIGHT-I would like you to try using a white piece of paper to create reflected light if possible in this lesson.
HARD/SOFT LIGHT- I would also like for you to try to use soft or hard light in one of the successful ways they showed us in the video. 


Rule of Thirds:

Balance:

Contrast:
