There is not absolute rule in the photography

 

There are many parameters to be followed in the photography, but It doesn't mean we should follow it forever. For example, it's advisable the horizon line is between the center line and outside lines to the image, but if you are going take photos like the sea, and think that is better the horizon line is in the center, you can click!

 

Framework

 

It concerns how a view will be inserted on the picture, or better, the cut on the view to the image. For example, it's recommended don't crop the image at the joints of a model, and that the spaces near of lateral lines can not be so large.

 

Composition

 

It Concerns about the characteristics to the image, like the colours and position of the elements. Examples are: black-and-white photos, colourful photos, position of the elements at relation to gold points, position of the horizon line, perspective, if the model looks to the center of the picture (more suitable), if the lights are not very strong , if the shadows are soft, if the colours are intense and realistics, if it have to do with the picture, if there is a reason at the image, color balance, if it is clear, if the focus is on the eyes of the model and more.

 

Turning-point

 

It's good to have attention not only to the composition and on framing on a photo, but also what happens around. It can happens beautiful and momentary moments around us, so if you can get a good (or even great) photo at this moment, before of adjust other factors, Click!

 

Manual camera mode

 

The manual mode of the camera gives us the freedom to provide various photo effects, like blurred background and light beams. To it, you must know how to control the camera's exposure meter, consisting of a graph of a small line with dots that run from zero to the left (low exposure) and right (high exposure), and It is based on the relationship between aperture and shutter opening time (where there is the click). The more open the aperture of the diaphragm is, bigger will be the speed, to the balance of the input light. For example, if you want to blur the background, the ideal is to use a large aperture, with a high telephoto lens (lens over 50 mm) and zoom closer to the subject. Now if you want beams of light, set your camera to a long shutter exposure (long open time). You can also configure both references (aperture diaphragm and shutter opening time) to get very exposed or very little exposed, for example, to make a clear or very dark picture respectively.

 

ISO

 

ISO settings relate to sensitivity to the light. How much darker it is, more you have to increase this sensitivity (ISO). High ISOs produce little dots on the picture, and on the night, for example, instead of using very high ISO, which can cause points on the image, you can increase the exposure of aperture and shutter, but preferably with a tripod because the long shutter captures more movement and the image get blurry. You can use a self timer to don't shake the camera on click too.
