Mistakes a Photography Beginner Could Make. Part 1.

Today we start the section of articles telling you about the mistakes a photography beginner could make.

This articles series will give you neither the general overview of photography as a notion nor what is considered to be good photography… It is tended to warn you against typical and crude mistakes while composing and processing your first pictures, especially if you are eager to share them then in the internet or something.

In the global network one can find various sources and tips telling you about composition rules and how one should stick to them. One of the crucial points there of course would concern the so called golden section. Apart from this there’s the opinion that any segment partition into two parts will satisfy this golden section rule with 60% probability.

All these approaches have right to exist, but in this very series we are to outline the main mistakes to avoid while photographing.

Hereinafter we hope that our readers are able to use their cameras and have the view of Photoshop work or its analogs.

So, there are the following mistakes one can come across:

Picture obstruction to the left or right. When you rotate your picture in Photoshop, use the grid or guide lines (View – New Guide). Choose the line at the picture, according to which you will align it. It can be the horizon or a line at the center (but not from one side!). Don’t take a river bank or bent as the horizon line– similar mistakes are made even by professionals.



Blur. The main object at the picture should be sharp. For example, on the portrait the eyes should be sharp. It would be incorrect to make ears, nose tip, and etc. sharp. If you correctly take depth resolution of image space, then you can add dimension to your image, divide the distance and highlight the main object.



Overlight and overdarkness. In fact, the image shouldn’t contain absolutely white or absolutely black spots, provided that it is not your artistic message.:) If the camera allows you, save your images in RAW format. Always import them to Photoshop in 16-bit format (RGB-16) and convert them into 8-bit JPEG only after the final processing! Save images in Adobe RGB for your own use; if you are going share them in the internet, then choose sRGB.
