A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

So I need some ideas for things I could take photos of in my school, mostly without going into classrooms and without any people in the photos. If I could get some ideas I would be really thankful Themes:

  1. Out of focus(kinda need some examples for this as I haven't done much of this)
  2. Rule of thirda
  3. Story with objects (would be really helpful coz I think this is the most interesting, have a couple ideas but would like some more.

Check out Simon D'entrement YouTube channel, he has a couple of vids about composition so you can see examples.

Some typical composition tips:

  1. Make sure your photograph has an interesting subject. Common mistakes are having no subject, or too many subjects. The photo should have a clear subject so we know who the main actor is.

  2. Avoid harsh midday sun. Colors are better in the early morning or late evening. Usually you get about 5-10 minutes of truly spectacular sky colors in the morning and the evening, and you need to be set up in the right place at the right time to get it.

  3. If you must shoot in the midday sun, use shade to your advantage. This mellows out the harsh sunlight.

  4. Choose interesting angles and perspectives. Everyone takes snapshots from eye level at 24 mm (1x on phones). Get high, get low, and use different focal lengths.
