Special care rules with cameras
If there is neck strap…wearit!
If there is a hand strap…putit on!
If there is lens cap…alwaysreplace it!
Try not to touch the screen or lens with your fingers
Turn off the camera when you are not using it
If you are taking a close up…
…move the camera up closer rather then using the zoom
Your subject should look small and insignificant so the higher up looking down the better!
High Angle
or
Birds Eye
The camera is down low looking up making your subject look more important or powerful.
Low AngleOr Worms Eye
Wide Shot or Long ShotEstablishes the
setting
Take a Wide shot that sets the scene for the viewer
Horizon line
Don’t cut your picture in half by setting the horizon line in the middle
Set high to suggest closeness
Set low to suggest spaciousness
Leading
lines
Look for natural lines of the scene that leads the viewers eyes into the picture and to your main centre of interest
Remember horizon lines Do a vertical and a horizontal photo
Look carefully behind your subject or
beside your subject
Horizontal and
VerticalTake a photo in horizontal view
Take the same photo in Vertical view.
Close up Shot
The subjects head will fill most of the shot from the chest or neck to just above the head. Use this shot to emphasise something. Have them look away!
Do not put the head in the middle of the shot (unless it is a newsreader) give the head space in front of it!
Newsreader shot
Photos of kids
If they are smaller then you then get down low.
Take photos when they are doing something.
Get in close.
Make it fun.
Extreme close

Two shot
Profile of two people communicating
Over the shoulder
Face and shoulder shot of speaker, listener just part of head and one shoulder
Reverse ShotSame as above but change speaker and listener
Macro or super close upSet your camera to Macro and take close ups of nature
When taking close ups move as close to the subject as possible before using the Zoom
Foreground
Sometimes objects in the foreground can set a scene like branches or doorways
Remember these rules
People or subjects are better off centre
Don’t make the eyes the centre of the photo
Portraits are usually eye level (position yourself so you are eye level)
Find simple uncluttered backgrounds
Stay away from signs and large text
