  1. Digital Photography Ms. Hawkins Technology Education Teacher - EWMS

  2. Rule of Thirds • One third rule – Do not put your subject in the center of the photo. • Place the most important part of your picture at one of the four places where the imaginary lines cross.

  3. Rule of Thirds • A person who is the subject of interest should look or appear to be moving toward the center of the picture. • When taking a picture with a horizon, place the horizon line on one of the horizontal thirds.

  4. One Third • Looking at the thirds on this boat scene we find that the subject is the reflection and not the boat.

  5. Steady Hand • Hold camera with a firm hand, but comfortable. • Push the button part way down to lock the shot into place, then hold your breath for a second and finish pushing the button to take the shot. • A tripod is great for shots that need a longer exposure time, such as night shots.

  6. Clutter • Keep your picture clean and uncluttered. • Snap the photo of what you are trying to get and not everything around.

  7. Viewpoint • Taking shots from different angles can give a very interesting photo. • Some of this photography can be seen when models are modeling shoes.

  8. Four Main Styles of Lighting • Broad Lighting – lights up the side of the face closest to the camera • Used to make a face look thin • Used to take away from a poor feature • Short Lighting or narrow lighting – lights up the side of the face away from the camera • Has a narrowing effect • Used for oval or plump faces

  9. Four Main Styles of Lighting… • Butterfly Lighting or Glamour Lighting – lights up directly in front of the face, but has enough height to cast a shadow under the nose • Do not use on men • Makes the ears look huge • Rembrandt Lighting – combine short and butterfly lighting • Main light high on the side of the face away from the camera • Lightens under the cheek and not so much under the nose

  10. 450 Lighting • Slightly Higher Than your Subject.

  11. Portrait Lighting • Fill the frame with your subject. • The best portraits I’ve ever take were the ones that seemed to capture the very essence of the person through their eyes.

  12. 10 - 2 • The best time to take photos is from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. For outdoors.

  13. Some Poor Lighting Can be Corrected Fluorescent Lighting Tungsten Lighting

  14. Turn Flash Off • Sometimes you need to turn the flash off to get a special picture like the ones to the right.

  15. Turn Camera • Your arm is not broken, be sure to try some shots with the camera turned onto the side. • The side shot is better for portrait photos, because it allows you the ability to get more of your subject into the photo.
