Photo-Advices from John Ross

Some good and useful advices from the great photographer John Ross will help you to get amazing results attracting the attention!
Beware of mega-pixels. Instead of wasting money on some extra mega-pixels, it’s much better to choose a fast lens of the professional class, which can actually define the quality of the photo.
Come closer. We always try to walk away from the object while photographing, just because we want uncle John is cut from our memories about a new year.
But if you want to photograph plants or animals, right after taking a picture, make a step forward and then again take a picture, repeat these motions.
Not every photo should be close-up, but the objects with a good detalization look greater outdoors.
Fill the picture. If you take a picture of a bird or another wild animal, try to fill the shot with the object maximally. And try not to get radio-flash or transmission line into the picture. Also you should not pin the hope on the photo-editor to cut the picture, because most probably the photo will loose the focus.
Turn the camera. Sometimes everything you need for the excellent shot is to turn the camera, and the excess of space, which spoil the picture, no longer bother you.
The majority of tripods allow turning the camera upright.
Avoid a “bull’s eye”. Don’t put the conceptual centre in the middle of the shot. Put the object outside the centre to allow moving the eyes at the photo. In landscape pictures the conceptual centre may be in mountains, while for the intimate photo you’d better find a flower with a drip of water.
