Photography

Photography has become one of my favorite forms of art. I started getting really into photography a couple of years ago. I am currently taking photos on my iPhone 8+ while I am saving up to get an actual camera. I like taking pictures of animals, nature, and people.

When taking photos you need good lighting, the right angles, an interesting subject, and good composition. To have good lighting in a photo you are going to want to make sure that the setting isn’t too dark or too bright. You want the lighting to be bright enough to be able to see your subject but not too bright as to where the light reflects too bright so you can’t see the subject. You also need to make sure that you have good angles that are flattering to the subject. When taking photos you want to have an interesting subject. An interesting subject when taking a photo is something that looks beautiful/cute. When making sure your photo has a good composition you want to make sure that your subject isn’t in the center of the photo. You are going to want to follow the rule of 3rds. According to Darren Rowse of the Rule of Thirds “The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines, after breaking the photo into 3rd both horizontally and vertically, that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally.” Even though there are rules to follow when taking the perfect photo the rules can be broken. Below are a few photos that I have taken. First photo is of my dog Tiger that was taken last winter. The second photo is a sparkler that I took at night in the summer and I was surprised by how well it actually turned out because I took it with my phone. The last photo is of some trees covered in ice that I took last winter.
