2. Even if you have the most advanced
digital camera accessories, you cannot be successful if
you don’t know the basics of photography.
This is an art that requires the same level of
knowledge, practice, and precision as any other art.
Here are some initial roadblocks that
you have to overcome in order to click
flawless pictures.
3. Bad Composition
The content of the picture as well as the proposition of
the subject, foreground, and background will decide the
quality of your photography.
A good picture should give maximum space to the
subject.
Although there is no mathematical calculation, almost
85% of your photograph should be occupied by your
subject.
You can even consider blurring your background
so that your subject gets the most attention.
4. Level Of Camera
Most amateur photographers often perceive that they have to
keep their digital photography equipment such as their
camera close to their eyes.
This is true, however; you have to make sure that the camera
is at the eye level of your subject’s eye and not yours.
When you are clicking a dog, knee down to reach its
eye level and when you are shooting a person taller
than you, stand on a platform.

5. Improper Lighting
The right light is what you need to capture an awesome
moment. Balance any dim or bright light by using
digital photography equipment such as lighting bulbs,
reflectors, softboxes, barndoors, and much more.
Flash photography causes red eye so if possible
avoid it as much as possible. If you are shooting in
the daylight always have the sun behind you.
For lighting your subject’s face, use reflectors.
For indoor photography, diffuse your studio light
to get rid of unwanted shadows and hot spots.
6. Camera Not Stabilized Properly
Unwanted camera movements can cause blurriness and
spoil your work completely. Minimize your camera
shake to get clear sharp photos.
For this, you need to use tripods or monopods. If you
don’t have any of these, place your camera on a stable
surface and use a remote shutter release.
The core idea is to stabilize your camera as much as
possible.
7. Taking Low Resolution Pictures
In order to capture more photos, most photographers
decrease the resolution of their cameras.
Make sure you always take high resolution pictures.
Increase the memory of your camera but do not
decrease the resolution.
Photography is not just about taking your camera and clicking
images. It’s an art and you have to follow certain principles in
order to be the best at it.
