  1. Creating Photo Techniques Amanda Dexter Dylan Harper

  2. Focus Attention On Your Subject Fill that image area with your subject so the viewer has no other choice than to see the subject. Look for contrast. Contrast in tonality, color, texture, background, focus, perspective, and other visual design elements.

  3. Shoot Color For Dramatic Photos Look for deliberate color contrasts Complementary colors create very strong color relationships, such as red/green, blue/orange, and yellow/violet. Heavily saturated bold colors can be dramatic, soft and subtle colors can be as well.

  4. Showing Movement Slow shutter speed records a moving subject as being partly to wholly blurred and offers you a great way to interpret movement. If the shutter speed is too fast to show motion, use a neutral density filter to get longer shutter speed.

  5. Polarizers A polarizer is a filter that attaches to your lens. 3 primary uses: to intensify skies, to remove light reflections, and to enhance or deepen the color saturation in outdoor scenes. When you use a polarizer to enhance colors, watch what happens to the scene as you rotate the polarizer.

  6. Panorama Taking multiple photos across a scene and then stitch them together. Gives full depth of field Avoid shooting moving subjects , such as clouds or waves that make photos too different to be combined.

  7. “wow” Factor Pictures that have the “wow” factor usually capture the perfect moment for instance, when a bird catches its prey. You have to make your photo different by not taking that same old picture. Put something into it that will wow the viewer

  8. Low Contrast Soft, diffused light tends to reduce contrast. Looks for long contrast light and and take advantage of it. Early morning or late evening is usually a good time to find low contrast light with good color. Mist, fog, haze, or clouds.

  9. All Seasons All the seasons give you the opportunity to take a great picture. For example, in the spring time everything is luscious and green. Fall everything starts to change color, and winter simplifies scenes in terms of colors, shapes, and forms.

  10. Patterns And Shapes Patterns and shapes can often become the strongest elements in a photograph. When you find a pattern or shape, think how you would shoot it to make an interesting photograph. Use light to make a silhouette, or use bright highlights to strengthen the pattern or shape.

  11. Combine To combine you have to use a perfect balance of light, flash, balance and exposure to make the perfect balanced picture. For example you can take a picture of something with a portable flash plus ambient to make the image be perfectly balanced.

  12. Experiment Experiment with your pictures, fool around with the shutter speed and the aperture For example you can use a really slow shutter speed to create weird affects. Of something moving, or something that looks like a ghost.

  13. Shoot At Night Shooting at night makes your photos at night give rich light exposure and make pictures look neat For example a picture of Toronto at night really pops because of all the lights
