8 Effects Every Photographer Should K now About

Web Design Written by: Rachel Arandilla

hotography seems easy at first glance. You simply make your frame and press the shutter button. The

reality is, everyone can take a photo but not all can master it. Theres more to photography than just

simply point and shoot. Photography is a skill only a handful have the patience and the passion to stick with.

Photography students and enthusiasts must educate themselves with many technical terms such as aperture,

shutter speed, focus and exposure. Youve probably read enough about that elsewhere, so how about a few

photography effects? In this post I will share some photography tips and effects. They can enhance the beauty of

your photos and they can be very fun to do, too.

1. Bokeh

Bokeh refers to the aesthetic quality of blur, the out of focus area of the image. Its how the light renders lighted

areas that are out of focus. The difference in lens aberrations and aperture shape causes the area to blur,

creating the look thats aesthetically pleasing. Many photographers deliberately use the shallow-focus technique

to create images with prominent bokeh areas. The term comes from Japanese boke, which literally means haze

or blur.

Theres good bokeh, but theres also bad bokeh when the blur is so distracting or harsh that it takes the focus

away from the subject. Thus, good bokeh can enhance an image while bad bokeh can ruin it.

Example of bad bokeh.

Use of Creative Bokeh

by Jean Fan

You can also create other shapes of bokeh, such as the heart and star bokeh photos shown below. This can be

done by using a filter with the desired shape. You can even create your own. Tutorial can be found here.

2. Panning

Panning refers to the horizontal, vertical or rotational movement of an image still or video. Its an age-old

technique. To achieve panning, you must have a moving subject that you must stay with whilst framing the shot

before and after you press the shutter. This will create an interesting effect, with your subject being sharp amid a

blurred background. Great for shooting moving subjects or racing and sports events.

Panning will take a lot of practice, but youll get used to it and the effort is all worth it. Of course, it is easier to

follow a human subject than faster subjects like a dog, a motorcycle or a car.

3. Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is one of the most basic principles of composition. It has been used for many centuries by

artists, painters and now, photographers.
http://photoblog.statesman.com/2009/04http://n0twhaty0uthink.deviantart.com/


5/19



With the Rule of Thirds, the photographer breaks down the photo into thirds, horizontally & vertically so that you

have nine equal parts. The main subject is not placed in the middle of the frame, thus it looks dynamic, moving

and interesting.

When you are taking a picture you must mentally divide your viewfinder or LCD display into three to frame your

shot. With the grid in mind, identify the important points of interest and frame. For some photographers, this

comes naturally but for others, it will require practice.

4. The Golden Hour

The Golden Hour, also referred to as the Magic Hour, refers to the first hour the sun rises and the last hour the

sun sets. It creates a different quality of light; it adds interest and drama to the scene. Its the perfect time of

the day for creating magnificent photosbut be quick, because lighting quickly changes and fades away.

by Torontoist

What really happens during the golden hour? During sunrise and sunset, the sun is near the horizon so the

daylight is of the indirect light from the sky, reducing intensity of the suns bright light. There is softer lighting,

warmer hues and longer shadows. In other times of the day, the suns light can be too bright and harsh. The

suns harsh light is particularly a problem in portrait photography, for the light can create unwanted strong

shadows around the face and body.

by David Giral

With landscape photography, photographing landscape during the golden hours enhances the colors of the scene.

5. Golden Rectangle

The Golden Rectangle, (also the Golden Mean or the Golden Ratio) is another guideline for composition and avariation of the Rule of Thirds, but more intricate. The Golden Rectangle is the mean of the ratio of numbers on

the Fibonacci Sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and so on). The ratio creates a golden rectangle, which is

comprised of a square and half of the square in the same dimension.

Again, the concept goes back to several centuries. The Golden Rectangle is even used to frame Leonardo da

Vincis Mona Lisa. Paintings, artworks and photos following the Golden Rectangle tend to be stunning and

pleasing to the eye. Its because its an aesthetic proportion that can be found naturally: flowers, shells,

butterflies and even the human body.

It is very hard to frame the image to the Golden Rectangle means directly from the LCD or viewfinder.

Thankfully, there are now several programs that you can use to crop your photos to the Golden Rectangle

dimensions during post-production.

6. Fill Flash

Fill Flash is a technique in photography where the photographer uses flash to fill in dark areas of the image. Its

perfect for backlit environments. The background is usually a lot brighter than the subject. To create fill flash,

adjust the aperture and shutter speed correctly to expose the background, use flash to lighten the foreground

but still retain the qualities of the background.

You can use flash when: the subject is in a shadow, when there is more light on the background than on the

foreground, and when you are close enough to the subject for flash. Remember that your built-in flash is only

powerful enough to reach up to 9 feet only. Fill Flash can brighten deeply shadowed areas, improving the image

without overexposing the other areas of the image.

Fill Flash is great for illuminating the eyes, especially on bright days and the subject is wearing a cap.

7. Long Exposure

Long exposure is another interesting photography effect which entails a narrow aperture and long duration

shutter speed. This is done in order to create dreamy landscapes, capturing the stationary elements while

blurring the moving elements of the image.

Long exposure can be tricky. It should be taken in low light situations, most often photos will be overexposed

because having long exposure on sunny days can be a problem, as too much light will enter the lens.

It is often referred to as night photography. Interesting subjects to shoot are stars, moving cars and lights.

water on long exposure is popular in photography.

8. Contre-jour

Contre-jour is a popular photography effect. It is French for against daylight, the camera is directly pointing

towards the light source. Countre-jour is, basically, is the fancy speak of silhouette photography. The light

source is located directly behind the subject.

The contre-jour effect produces high contrast photos between light and dark. It hides details yet emphasizes

contour of the subject and shapes. Contre-jour is more popular in nature & landscape photography. The effect is

often used to add a more dramatic mood and intense ambiance to the scene.
http://www.jstan.net/wordpress/index.phphttp://www.flickr.com/people/denemiles/


14/19



by ArtBible.net

by Karlos Portillo

Ironically though, contre-jour can enhance or reduce the quality of detail in the photo. Some recommend using a

lens hood to enhance the effect of contre-jour in photographs, significantly reducing the glare coming into the

lens. If too much light enters the lens, it will cause overexposure, causing the photo to lose definition.

Conclusion

You dont need to follow these terms to the dot in order to create a beautiful and interesting image. In fact, rules

are made to be broken! Art is about exploring yourself and your medium, after all. But to be an artist of your

own you have to learn the basics first before you break them. Thats what Pablo Picasso and Van Gogh did.

Of course, these are not the only effects in photography. There are dozens more, and you can even create a

photography effect through your own experimentation. Photographys only limits is the photographers creativity.

I am really enjoying this post, I am not a photographer but do try to improve what skill I do have. These

tips are very helpful and I thank you for posting.

I think I tried at least 2 of these effects without even knowing they existed

Good article. Some basic ideas that not everyone knows.

Wonderful picture, it is very cool.

Thank you for sharing this collection. I really liked it.

ITS SO GOOD.Simply explained and creative photos included.

Good lesson for beginner to seek the path of success.

That is really an interesting article about photography,I didnt knew about the term THE GOLDEN HOUR and

here i got to find also explanation of that so thanks for sharing these tips.

I agree with xDeeyouve showed me these great effects and now I need to figure out how to learn/practice

them! Great post, loved the examples.

huh..maybe follow up article explaining these techniques would work? :)

Great information on photographic effects! Im just getting into to photography and these tips will certainly

come in handy Im going to keep these ideas in the back of my mind the next time I head outdoors with

my camera. Thanks! ;)

A very well written and informative article many thanks for sharing. Other advantages of shooting contre-

jour include rim lighting your subject and the creative use of flare.

Actually, panning shot would be very clear and it could be very nice. And, that panned shot could be came

out very well with the great support.

Nice collection of photos and tips for that matter. Im more of a web designer than a photographer but I like

the rule of thirds. Will definitely use the tips in the future.
