#1 Saturday Daily Dynamics/Photography – We can all take that perfect photo!
.jpg)
Kids, today I’m going to teach you how to become an expert in taking good photos. Photos which not only can put you one step ahead of your parent but which you can use when posting on Steemit.
I tell you what, let’s be on the move…
Have you ever been on a boat?
If yes you will know that a boat will always move around. This is due to many factors like, wind blowing, the movement of the water, the engine or oars of the boat etc. To stop a boat from moving we use an anchor.
It is the same in photography, we need something that can anchor our photo and that is “composition” no matter if you are using your dad’s expensive camera or your mom’s mobile phone.
Every photo tells a story and by now you all know what a story is. Composition is where your eyes take you when you see a photo for example;
- What you immediately see when you look at the photo – How does the story start?
- What do you see is important of the photo - What is the story about?
- What does the photo tell you – What is the flow of the story?
- What do you see in total when you look at the photo – Is the story good enough?
- Is the photo worth taking it?
- Is the lighting right?
- Is the photo simple? Remember, less is always more
- Is the background right?
- Are you holding your camera straight?
- And lastly… are you enjoying it?
If you can answer these question before you take that photo you are already half way there.
And now we are going to jump off the boat into a car.
Would you like to drive your dad’s car?
Getting your photo right is just like driving your dad’s car.
| DRIVING A CAR | TAKING A PHOTO |
|---|---|
| You have to learn to drive a car | You cannot take a good photo if you don’t know the basics |
| You have to practice driving a car before you can get your driver’s license | You have to practice before you can take that perfect photo |
| You have to plan your route | You have to plan your photo |
| You have to observe while you drive | You have to look at what is happening around your photo |
| You have to follow the rules of the road | You have to follow the rules of photography |
Flying is next!
I don’t know about you but I don’t like flying.
Not anybody can fly an aeroplane. When you fly you need a pilot with a license who knows exactly which button must be pushed next or what lever must be pulled. Pilots have a routine they must perform before the aeroplane can fly or land. The same with photography, you need a checklist.
The more you practice and the more you experiment with the “how’s” and the more creative you are the better your photos will be.
TASK:
Look at the three following photos and tell me which one you think is the perfect photo. A, B or C
PHOTO A
PHOTO B
PHOTO C
Next time we will take a closer look at composition.
Until then, keep shooting!

Good quality post ,the compression b/w car driving and taking photo nice idea to got your message
Thank you! And a huge thank you for reading my post.
One of my favourite topic. You explained very well. I will look forward to the next post on Composition which is very important to learn.
Ah so you also like photography. It is wonder that with today’s technology like smartphones we don’t have to miss a moment.
Very informative!
Its very difficult to choose a photo but the best photo for me is Photo B . Seems like the colors and objects in the photo whats to climb out. Like a 3 D photot
Ah, That’s a good reason for choosing photo B. This photo indeed tells a story.
Thank you for always reading my posts
Excellent information, I am currently trying to learn how to take better photos and I am sure these suggestions will help me a lot.
From my point of view all 3 photos convey a story but especially B as it has striking colors, a somewhat worn background but that draws attention and different elements that make you create a real story.
Awh! I'm so glad that I was of helped to you. Don't miss next week's post on composition as it will teach you a lot more.
As for choosing photo B, you've given some great reasons for choosing it.
