I take photos of absolutely everything, and here are some tips I can share from my most popular shots.
No matter what device you prefer, have it handy in every situation. And of course your mobile phone means you can share straight away too! Just have it charged.
You really don’t need a DSLR, as there are many software filters and apps available. My favorite ones are Best Camera, PS Express, Autostitch and IncrediBooth and of course Instagram.
If software filters aren’t good enough for your smartphone and you, get yourself one of these ‘One-Size-Fits-All Lenses for your smartphone – like the olloclip. It will expand your photo-taking repertoire by at least 3 lenses!
The difference between a good photo and a great photo is the perspective.Are you photographing your subject in a unique and interesting way? Play with your environment and make something worth sharing.When you see a lineup of photographers all shooting the same thing, turn the camera on them! People taking pictures of people taking pictures are always cool. Like Inception.
Shoot directly into the sun, shoot while throwing your camera, take photos from underwater, through magnifying glasses, plastic lenses, at night, with long exposure or light writing! You never know how a perfect photo might be captured.
Have you been on a holiday, a concert or an exhibition? Try and express the situation, the feeling, the atmosphere in one photo that sums up what you will remember best about the event.
Share only a few photographs rather than 50, otherwise people might get bored and turn away. Make sure you add value to the conversation. Think about yourself. Which images do you like most? Do you get bored by people who post what they had for breakfast, lunch or dinner? I admit I sometimes do this myself! So if you like sharing your food photos, rather do that in suitable social networks like Foursquare or Foodspotting. Make it useful for your followers.
The more you interact and engage with other people’s photography, the more they’ll engage with yours. Join a community, do photo challenges, and build a following. I also recommend you use the same hashtags for your instagram photos, so you can create galleries afterwards and share them with others, for example with http://www.gramfeed.com/instagram A picture is worth a thousand words. Guess that means a thousand pictures are worth a million words. Now that’s a conversation. However, the quality of the conversation depends on the quality of the pictures! Now get ready and start experimenting with your photos and don’t forget to share the best ones!
