Nature Photography - Quarantine Nature Photography

Image By Manas Ranjan

People who love seeing and living in nature also love to capture them. 

Today everyone is at home and everyone has a camera with them some have a DSLR and some have a cell phone. 

Here are some  very basic tips that will help you to capture your beautiful surrounding so that few years later when you look back at your old photos, they stir emotions, memories, and feelings in your heart.

1. Use grid-lines to balance your shot

Rule of Thirds :- 

A photographic composition principle that says an image should be broken down into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, so you have nine parts in total.

According to this theory, if you place points of interest in these intersections or along the lines, your photo will be more balanced, level, and allow viewers to interact with it more naturally.

To switch the grid on ...

* iPhone: Go to "Settings," choose "Photos & Camera," and switch "Grid" on.

* Samsung Galaxy: Launch the camera app, go to "Settings," scroll down and switch the "grid lines" option to "on."

2. Set your camera's focus

To adjust where you want your camera lens to focus, open your camera app and tap the screen where you want to sharpen the view.

3. Focus on one subject

Professional photographers say that the subject should fill the entire frame, and that two - third of the photo should be negative space-- that helps the subject stand out even more.

But be sure you tap the screen of your smart phone to focus the camera on your subject -- that'll help to ensure that it's focused and the lighting is optimized.

4.Find different perspectives

Taking photos from a unique, unexpected angle can make them more memorable -- it tends to create an illusion of depth or height with the subjects.

5. Play around with color 

Color play can help to highlight the elements of a photo that you want to stand out. 

6. Use natural light

Take advantage of the sources of natural light you can find, even after dark. This gives you a chance to play with shadows, like in the second image below, or create a silhouette with other ambient sources of light, like traffic and surrounding buildings.
