Amateur Photographers' Two Greatest Mistakes

Have you ever been handed a fistful of photos taken by a friend or family maker, looked through them, and found them absolutely dismal ? It happens to all of us, hasn't it ?

There are two simple mistakes that most amateur photographers make, no matter what kind of camera they have.

Mistake #1: When taking a photo of one or more persons, many people seem to fill only 1/3 of the frame with their subjects.

The remedy: Zero in on your people and fill the frame with them. Don't be afraid to take close-ups. Don't leave a lot of empty space around your subjects.

Mistake #2: Posing a person in front of a very bright background. The result will usually be something approaching the darkness of a silhouette.

The remedy: Look at the background before you snap the picture. If your subject is darker than the background, then move your subject so the person is against a background darker than himself.

These two considerations are very simple, yet following these remedies will make an enormous number of any amateur photographer's photos much, much better. That's a promise.
