Learning how to take a great picture is an art and a magical mystery even. How can one translate the magical beauty of a scene into a photo? What steps does one need to take in order to create the perfect photograph? Luckily for you, I’ve discovered the formula for creating that perfect picture.

The biggest question that many people might face is ‘how to take good photographs?’ And yes, the cameras are a complicated thing to understand at first. There are so many things that make a photograph ‘Art’.

Here are the top 5 tips that you can do to excel in photography.

1.     Learn Manual Mode

The manual mode in photography is like cooking a dish without looking at the recipe menu. You explore yourself while cooking a photograph because it is you that builds a relationship with the camera and the final dish is the impressive picture. The best way to learn the manual is to follow workshops that are free of cost. Photography workshops in Delhi will make you understand the perspective of a photograph.

2.     Do Not Use Flash

Flash, whether it is of the camera or the phone, will remove the originality of the photograph and will leave you with a surreal picture that is so artificial. Just like a mentor said in the SPS Kalra photography studio, ‘natural light holds the magic of turning a picture into an Art’. However, if you want to make use of an external light source, you can try to take photographs in a studio or use a polarising filter.

3.     Set The Background

The background plays a very, very important role in good photography. Whether it is an artificial background in a studio or a natural background, look for the things that are influencing the background setting of the photograph. For instance, if you are taking a photograph of a natural setting, and there is smoke coming from the nearby factories, but you want to capture the natural beauty. So, of course, the smoke of factories will not give a pleasant effect to the photograph.

Try to eliminate those things and look for what kind of photograph you really want to take.

4.     Use Histogram

Histogram is the key to setting the colors of your camera. It holds the potential to really make your photograph stand out. But ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ It is a graphical representation of the colors the camera is capturing. The histogram will let you know which color is visible through the lens and what is the tone of the color. SPS Kalra photography studio is the place where you can learn how to master the histogram.

Even if your camera does not have a histogram, you can correct the colors while post-processing. Any conventional tool for post-processing should have a histogram. From there, you can also correct the shades of the color, its intensity, exposure, and saturation.

5.     Practice Practice Practice

Practice is the key to becoming a great photographer. Practice will not only enhance your photography, but with practice only, you can learn from your mistakes and grow as a professional photographer. Going out and clicking random pictures will make you realize how you can improvise taking the same picture again from a totally different perspective.

You can practice photography under the guidance of a professional photographer as well. You can do so by attending photography workshops in Delhi. There are many workshops that do not charge a single penny for attending. Attending workshops is the best way to learn new tricks on how you can enhance your photography. I would recommend you to look at the coming events of the SPS Kalra photography studio.

Takeaway For Taking A Snap

Ultimately, the answers will come to you as you practice your craft more and more. But in my experience, those who take the time to understand their subject on a deeper level tend to take better photographs. And if you really want to learn how to take good photos, there are plenty of resources like the photography workshops in Delhi, or there are some free courses out there that can help you.

Taking photographs is an aspect of art and what photography does is freeze the moments for you to remember.

So, try to keep it real and original.
