Mistake Number 1: Straight Horizon Lines
This one is super simple BUT I see so many new photographers NOT DOING THIS. Keep natural lines straight and proper, it ensures your photos are much easier to look at. It's basically step 1 on shooting a good photo.
A quick tip to keep your lines straight is to use some grid options on your camera. I keep a grid display on so I can easily compose my photo with keeping the lines straight. Some cameras have a display that tells you whether your image is wonky or not so have a little look at your cameras options and it could help you keep your image straight.
Mistake Number 2: Overexposed Highlights
When you start playing with the settings before you take your photo - it's easy to try and make sure everything is nice and bright, clear and easy to look at. However, that's not always the best way to expose your image.
If your camera can shoot in RAW format then make sure you use it. When we look at a scene I always try and make sure the brightest part of the image (typically the sky) still has some details in. These are the highlights. When you do this, the shadows in the image which are the darkest parts might look too dark. The contrast between the sky and everything else can create a lot of contrast and make it difficult to expose properly. But the biggest tip I can give here is to prioritise your highlights and the details in the bright part. If everything else looks too dark, don't worry - we can lift the shadows and the blacks when we edit the image. That's why we shoot in RAW.
Mistake Number 3: Not finding alternative compositions
Sometimes, when you just point and shoot you might get a good photo - it's not impossible, but let's try and be more intentional with our photography. Start looking for compositions that will compliment the scene in front of you.
A simple go to, easy and well known composition is the rule of thirds. I won't talk specifically about this one as you've probably heard it a million times before. You can also test out leading lines or layering your images. This one, again might have sounded very obvious but try and remember that photography doesn't have any limits, get creative and look for different compositions and you could dramatically improve your photos.
Mistake Number 4: Missed Focus
If you're shooting on the phone, this is obvious - tap on screen in the area you want to be focused, be patient if you need to be and let the camera automatically do it's thing. That's very basic... but if we're shooting with a camera - we have a lot more wiggle room to make sure our photos are tack sharp.
High shutter speeds - anything over 1/200 (ish) will make sure you don't get any unnecessary motion blur. But that's just motion blur. How can we make sure the correct part of our photo is sharp and in focus.
This is where is can change our aperture number, also known as the fstop.
For landscapes like this video, where we want lots in focus - using higher f/stops like 8,11,16 will make sure the field of focus covers lots of the photo.
For things like product photography where you might only want to focus on specific things you can use a lower aperture number like 1.8,2.2 or 2.8.
So remember to think about your shutter speed and f/stop to make sure you have sharp and correctly in focused images.
Mistake Number 5:
This one is targeted at almost everyone that loves instagram - just because you can add 100% clarity or 100% saturation to your photos doesn't mean you should. My biggest tip with editing photos is to keep it simple. If your aim is to create aesthetically pleasing photos that people like to look at - keep your editing subtle.
