10. Instruction for
technique not studied. Of course, reading the manual for the camera is not the most fun. But often ignorance of the possibilities of their own technique leads to errors. Even SLR cameras for beginners may not be so easy to learn if you do not read the instructions in advance.
9. Unskilful use of the
 |  |
As a rule, beginners are removed with a built-in flash. And its use "on the forehead" shines the foreground, creating black heavy shadows in the background. In addition, such a flash makes the pictures flat.
8. Ignoring the rule of the third
Very often, beginning photographers, when shooting landscapes, place the horizon line exactly in the middle of the frame, losing the sense of space. Overestimating or understating the point of shooting can achieve much more interesting pictures of nature. Just remember that you should not completely remove the horizon line beyond the boundaries of the frame.
7. Unsuccessful view of
The most common mistake is to shoot high buildings and people from below. This creates the illusion of a falling skyscraper or a distortion of the proportions of the human body. Professionals sometimes use this technique intentionally, but for a successful shot, in this case, a skill is required.
6. Unsuccessful borders of the
frame. Of course, you can crop the pictures in the graphics editor, moving the main subject or cutting someone's hands that have been crooked in the photo. But pruning deteriorates the quality of the photo. So, already during the shooting, you have to think through the composition. The simplest rule is to avoid placing the main element of the snapshot in the center of the frame, since these photos look static and boring.
5. Trimmed subject
Most often, this error occurs when shooting portraits. Cropped elbows, feet, tops and clothes lead to the fact that the picture looks like a bump. Therefore, trying to make your model as close as possible, it's worthwhile to make sure that everything necessary is placed in the frame.
4. Insufficient sharpness of the
image Most often, such a defect occurs when shooting in low light conditions, when a long shutter speed is required. It is worth remembering that the camera will perceive even the most inconspicuous tremor in the hands of the photographer, which means that in such a situation a tripod will be needed.
3. Incorrectly defined exposure
Exposure value is the amount of light that hits a matrix per unit time. When shooting, you need exposure compensation, because automatically the camera does not always choose the correct settings. The main rule: when shooting light general plans, you should increase the exposure, while photographing the general plans in the dark tonality - reduce.
2. Incorrect ISO selection
When shooting, select the minimum sensitivity suitable for shooting conditions. An overestimated value will lead to graininess of the frame, and an underestimated one will not allow to take decent pictures in case of insufficient illumination.
1. Abuse of graphic editors
Of course, modern photography is unthinkable without processing. Shooting in RAW-format allows you to adjust the contrast and adjust the colors. But it's important not to overdo it. Often beginning photographers are fond of excessive saturation of shades, excessive contrast or lacking the slightest flaws in skin on portrait shots. An important rule is to preserve the naturalness in photos.
