Techniques Essay !

Perfect pictures are hard to come by. But in my essay I will explain and tell you everything there is to know about making a so-called perfect picture. In order to have a perfect picture you would need to have these 3 techniques, getting horizons horizontal, the rules of thirds, and the importance of focal points. These are skills that need to be included on a lot of pictures.

Getting Horizons Horizontal is a important aspect of making pictures perfect. One of the simplest way to get your horizon horizontal simply line it up with the top or bottom of your view finder. Getting your horizons straight is important because if not your rules of thirds will be messed up. But if you use iphoto tool you will fix it in 5 seconds.

The rules of thirds in my mind are the most important technique. Its nothing but a simple grid. It also gives you lines that are also useful for positioning elements in your photo. The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo will be interesting.

Theirs three things that you need to remember about the importance of focal points. Number one is size, making your focal points large and small is very important. Number two is focus, you have to learn how to use depth of field to blur out other aspects in front or behind your focal points. Last but not least color, using colors is important in any photo.

All three of my techniques are used to increase the depth of the photo. These techniques make me a way better photographer, it shows how much effort you put in your photo.
