With these little hacks, make your portrait clicks look professional, learn the easy ways to click better landscapes and discover how to take sharp close-ups etc. Read on. Using a standard or telephoto lens: Wide-angle lenses are an apt choice for capturing nature portraits, where you want to show your subject within a specific setting. However a wide-angle lens has the tendency to distort the facial features and creating unflattering pictures. A better choice would be portraits using a standard lens or a short telephoto lens. The classic portrait focal lengths for a camera with full-frame are 50mm and 85mm with a 70-200mm zoom. These will help to ease out the features and produce a more natural-looking result. Using window light: You would be amazed to know that you don't need a home studio lighting kit to click beautiful portraits. The trick is to use the window and a reflector which will help in creating stunning natural results without spending too much. Place your subject at an angle near the window and use a white/silver reflector to diffuse the shadows across the face. And viola you have the perfect click! For photographing children: Photo sessions with children are always fun but a little challenging. It will help if you keep the session short. Play fun games with them: tell them to look at their reflection in the lens; it is a great way to get some eye contact. Use a wide-angle lens and shoot without pushing the camera into their face. Make the most of the situation when they're in a good mood and feel at ease. Group photo shoots: When you have to click a group portrait, the most important factor is the ‘height’ of your subjects, put the taller people at the back and shorter people in front. Keep in mind the colours of the clothes/dresses. Clashing colours can change the feel and look of a picture tremendously. For sharper portraits, use an aperture of f/8 along with a wide-angle lens. For an indoor group shoot, use a high ISO with the said aperture settings. Candlelight portraits: Telephoto lenses can also make it easier to compose landscape photos as they capture a narrower angle of view compared to wide-angle lenses. Being able to simplify a scenic often makes for stronger pictures. Long lens landscapes: For photographing landscapes, the popular choice is to use a wide-angle lens; however a telephoto lens is also an important tool for a landscape photographer. A telephoto lens compresses the elements of the landscapes thus making the foreground and background appear closer together than in a photo taken with an ultra-wide lens. Use a long lens and zoom in to make the mountain ranges appear tightly packed, or the trees in a forest appear dense. Black and white landscapes: The easiest way to click great black and white landscape photos is to shoot them in colour first. Use your digital camera's raw picture setting instead of JPEG. This way you'll record a coloured image which you can convert to black and white later. Try these easy tips next time you plan a trip with family and friends or you have a special occasion to celebrate and see yourself as becoming the next best photographer in Delhi.
