Do your holiday photos sometimes not turn out quite like you hoped? Sometimes a photo doesn't do any justice to the real thing and you can't always understand why. Often just a little tweak can make it into a better photo.
At in-Italia, we love taking pictures of Italy when we are on our trips. Here we have compiled five good tips for you to help improve your images, whether you use a professional SLR camera or a smartphone.
Here are our 5 top tips for taking a better photo:
Always keep the sun behind you when you take the photo. This will put the best light on the subject in the photo and the image will appear more pronounced. Taking an image through the treetops or similar can also give a special effect. For portraits though, it may be advantageous to the subject to have their backs to the sun, so that they are not squinting.
When photographing people, then go down on one knee as this seems to give the image more balance and a more natural proportion.
When photographing landscapes and panoramas, take a front or middle ground into the picture to create space and depth. It may be flora or maybe a person or object etc.
