Tutoring

Perhaps you learn best by watching someone else do a task first. When you watched your older brother ride a bike, you took in how his legs moved, the way he sat on the seat, and how he leaned when he went around corners. All of this information was channeled through your mind and into your muscles. You imitated his movements and were soon racing around the block without training wheels.

You can learn photography the same way by using a tutor if observation is your learning technique. Of course, if you can’t find a tutor, online classes that include videos can be a wonderful solution.

Major techniques Involved

• Optical. It is defined as a method used in a still or a video camera for stabilizing the recorded image by changing the optical path to the sensor. The fact that the optical stabilization systems stabilize the image projected on the sensor before the sensor transforms the same into digital information forms one of their basic elements.
• Digital. Real-time digital image technique is mainly used for video cameras. This popular technique helps in shifting the electronic image from frame to frame of video, enough to neutralize the motion. It employs the pixels for providing a buffer for the motion. This technique minimizes disturbing vibrations from videos and enhances still image quality by enabling a person to increase the exposure time without affecting the image quality. This technique hardly influences the noise level of the image.
• Stabilization filters.

At this point, you will have to drag the panel where the image is displayed and increase its size in order to create space for the mirror image under it. After that create a ‘New Guide’ by selecting the same from the menu option called ‘View’.

Rule Of Thirds

Compose your photo using the rule of thirds. Divide the picture area in to nine squares. Supposing you are taking a photograph of a landscape then the top one-third should be of the horizon and the bottom two-thirds should be of the scenery closer to you. You can also use this to compose the picture of a person by placing them in the central two squares and the back ground in the rest of the area of the picture. If it is a river or mountain in the background then place the person in the right or left bottom two squares of the composition while the river or mountain is placed on the side in the background.
