#DOUBLE EXPOSURE TECHNIQUE.

Here are some background suggestions for you to try:

Cloud formations are great background subjects for doubles, especially the once

that are a bit dark and shows some silver lining.

Trees braches and leaves are also great.

Flowers, especially when there are a lot of them.

Dark colored or textured walls work well too.

Shadows or shaded areas ascertain that there is enough room for another image.

Light colored texts on dark background are a joy as well.

#PANORAMIC TIPS

Don’t you hate it when you back up as far as you can go, but you still can’t get whatever your taking a picture of

inside the frame.

Horizontal vs. Vertical

Try out both horizontal and vertical shots! Everybody knows that panoramic scenes

are best shot with a wide angle lens. This way you can get everything in the scene in

one shot! When you’re working with very tall subjects or you want a ground-to-sky

perspective, you can also play around with the wide angle lens to get great shots! Just

because it’s mostly used for panoramic shots, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t take

gorgeous vertical shots!

Aim For The Sky

Staying the in vertical topic, another trick you can do with your wide angle lens is to

aim for the sky. Get down on the ground (get down on all four, squat, or you can

even lay down), stand in front of the large subject, tilt your camera up as if aiming

for the sky, and shoot! Try getting up close and personal with signs, statues, lights,

trees, or anything large enough to fill most of your frame. You will still get a focused

background like buildings or the sky, due to the larger depth of field.

Corner Lines

Most photographers will notice the lines that are in their frame. A neat trick that

some use is to have a line come out of one of the corners of the frame and extend

towards the middle. So, for example, when you’re shooting a long tunnel, try

aligning the lines that the tunnel make so that it comes out of the corners of the frame

and converges towards the middle of the frame.

Avoid Edge People

The ultra wide angle will keep straight lines pretty straight in the middle of the frame,

but when it gets to the edge, it will drastically curve and stretch whatever subject you

placed there. When your taking pictures of landscapes, you won’t notice this stretching

that much. But try (well, actually don’t) placing a person on either left or right edge of

your frame and they will be distorted for sure!

#SHOOTING PORTRAITS

1. Not Shooting At Eye Level: While it is the norm to shoot portraits at the eye level of the

subject, completely changing the angle that you shoot the picture from can give the picture

that extra pow pow.

You can either go high and shoot your subject or get as close to the ground and shoot up.
