Shooting - some tips

The "rule of thirds"

When looking at an image, we unconsciously coupons 4 lines: lines of others.
These lines then define the "points of interest," which will hang in particular look..

The hot spots of the image

By taking your photo, crop it or try to position up key elements of the scene on the intersections of these lines. These are the "hot spots" of the image. This trick will highlight the more important elements of the picture (character, eye, monument)

The skyline

Rather than center the horizon in your shot, place it also on a third line. This will give more importance to the heavens or the earth, rather than not knowing where to look...

Let the place to look and movement

A character who looks just against the edge of the picture gives the impression of confinement. On the contrary, if it looks to the "inside" of the photo, take your shot more depth. Same for the movement.

Use flash wisely!

Flash Range

The scope of a compact camera flash is only a few meters. Do not use if you're shooting from afar!

against the light

Force the flash when shooting portraits against the light. This helps reduce the unsightly shadows...
