5 Photography Tips for Beginners

4. Understand the element of light

Light is the basic element of photography. You can create the most interesting to the most boring images of the same location, only by changing the light. The sign of a good photographer is that he is always an observer of light. Know where the light sources are, what is their power, where are shadows being casted, and what is their intensity. Every kind of lighting has a different effect on the picture. Hence, the best way to learn is by experimenting.

5. Focus on selective shooting

One common mistake that many people make is that they try to include everything into a single frame. Do not make this same mistake. Always be selective in your framing and composition. Make up your mind on what you want as your prime subject as well as secondary subject(s). The cleaner the frame, the more eye-pleasing are they to look at.
