{ Tips TUESDAY } Fill the Frame – Get in Close

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
  1. Fill the frame – GET IN CLOSE – vary your shots in a number of these ways:
    1. Get in close or step back for a wider angle shot.
    2. Zoom in with the lens or move closer { zoom with your feet } to your subject
    3. Move around your subject to shoot from different sides
    4. When using your flash, stay further away and zoom in on the subject. The light on your subject is softer when you’re further away.
    5. Filling the frame or tight shots, takes away the distractions/clutter in the background – it keeps the focus on your subject.
