Taking photos can be tough. This article will give you some of the easiest to follow digital photography tips that will get your photos looking like the pros in no time. This Article will also cover some very common mistakes and how to avoid them for good. Let's begin!

Perspective is Everything

Have you ever looked at a subject matter from only one perspective and later realized that there is a whole other perspective? That's exactly the same with photography. Most photographers live their life in one perspective: taking pictures from eye level. Rather than put the camera to your eyes and take the photo, get low, climb a tree, look at the subject at hand from different perspectives.

Where you place your camera on the y axis really does make a difference in your photos and the subject you are taking. Widely known, different positions create different emotional reactions from the viewer. A shot from above the subject will make the subject you are shooting look less powerful and more vulnerable.

A shot from below, on the other hand, will make the subject look more powerful and dominating. This can be used to create different and interesting shots of subjects and breaking the rules. For example, a shot of a weak creature like a mouse from below. Or a shot of a 300 pound bodybuilder from above making him look vulnerable and shy.

Now going onto the many mistakes that photographers make, it's hard to know where to begin. One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is placing the subject dead center. Do not do this! Place the subject to the left or right instead.

Another big mistake is making photos too complex. You know what I'm talking about. The shots will a whole bunch of different subjects competing for attention. This just isn't pleasing to look at. Solution? Pick one subject and focus and isolate on that subject only. Anything unrelated to the subject should be removed and not photographed.
