This is my first step to improve photography 📷 | Serey | @ghiasahmad

Welcome back,

Today, let's discuss some techniques for photography. Photographs play an important part in our lives. We use a camera in our daily life, but what if we could easily improve our photography skills? This will enhance our clicking experience as well as our observation. Let's start. This is our first picture of this series. Look at this. It is just a highly saturated picture with some attractive color editing. Now, please take a moment to look at this. What comes to your mind? Obviously, the purple, bluish flower is out of focus. Let's see a detailed analysis of this picture.

Critical Analysis

• The flower is out of focus.
• White threads are in focus.
• Colors are highly saturated.
• Composition errors are present.

Let's discuss it in detail.

The bluish purple flower is out of focus. Which means this is a technical error. Maybe the photographer did not pay heed to the flower, or he never wanted it. By the way, I'm not the photographer of this picture. The photographer is my younger brother. Well, talking about the color saturation and composition rules followed in this photograph, the colors are highly saturated, and the exposure is still acceptable. The green saturated color is enhancing the beauty of this picture, and unfortunately, no rule of composition was followed😁. Let's have a look at some pictures below. 

Now, if you don't know what the composition rules are, take an example of some happy scene. Eid, Diwali, Christmas, Easter, or something else. Now, if I imagine an Eid day, a scene comes to mind in which people are hugging and are happy after saying their prayers. There is a large hall where they are combined. Moreover, the scene that comes to mind has several elements like a mosque in which people are making hugs and passing laughter. Now, if I think of Diwali or Holi, colors, gathering of people, harmless explosive materials, and colorful clothes come to mind. Same for Christmas, where I imagine Santa, a Christmas tree, lights, gifts, and red colored clothes. What I imagined to enhance the feeling of a particular scene is the composition. I want to be a happy person; a happy face is enough. However, to imagine or see a happy society, the happiness of each element is necessary for me. This is also the composition. Anything or any element that could enhance our feelings in a particular photograph is a composition. Similarly, in the above section, we see that the green color has an enhancing impact on the picture, but..... Some of the rules to enhance feelings and attraction have been made, and they are the composition rules. They are named as the rule of thirds, golden spiral, golden ratio, leading lines, diagonals, triangles, etc. There is no limit to the photography rule. Some pictures look attractive when composition rules are followed, while others gain fame even when intentionally clicked.

Composition Rule: Rule of Thirds

Composition Rule: Golden Ratio

Composition Rule: Triangle

Composition Rule: Diagonals

My struggle for Good Photography 📷

So, this is the knowledge I gained to enhance my photography skills. I am taking lectures from some YouTube channels to make improvements in this journey. One video helped me a lot to understand the basics of a camera lens whose thumbnail is stuck below. It is a GFXMentor guide.

Kunal Malhotra in this Journey

Only one video does not allow me to finish my photography journey; therefore, I discovered some amazing channels to enhance this experience with Kunal Malhotra from Delhi.
