Portraits and Festivals
- Language barriers can be overcome with a good phrase book
- Show the peopel you just captured their image on the LCD screen
- Children are especially eager to become the start of the screen
- Make sure to know the settings on your camera, dont waste any time fiddling with your camera while trying to take somebody's picture
- Getting the right background is key to a successful portrait, make sure you dont include clutter that could take away from the focus point of the person
- Fill the frame as much as you can with your subjects face and ensure the best angle of light casts evenly across your subject. Using a wide aperture of f2 of f5.6 will throw the background out of focus to flatter the main subject
- If you are unable to gain eye contact with your portrait subject, then candid shots can prove just as effective
- Using wide angle lenses enables this to be captured on camera -the person will remain the central focus, but the details of what is going around him or her will add a story to the scene somewhat verging on the photojournalist style, and will lend human impact to your pictures
