Angle Is Important Too

In math, once you learn about Angles, you HAVE to pay attention... It's used in photography too.
If you don't pay attention to angles, I'll give you some examples: obtuse, right, acute, etc.
That's just the beginning...
Now let's actually talk about angles. Okay so, I sorta make up my own angles in photography, but every angel is the same. You have a choice of which angle you can use in photography, you can either take a picture on the north, northeast, east, eastsouth, south, southwest, and west. I prefer from the south up. Try to move your camera around right now, to see which angle you like, but don't snap a picture just yet, there's more...

Just Add a Little Bit of Focus With That

Focus is when your hand doesn't move and you keep your hand still, I recommend getting a tripod for your camera, it's not that much money anyways! Every school has one! A tripod can keep the camera still and you can adjust the legs (size ) of the tripod! Sureeee, a tripod is used for making videos. Hah, who said it isn't for taking pictures too?
Take my advice, trust me. Unless you can stay perfectly still then you don't need a tripod. If there's movement when taking a picture, it will surely become blurry.

Who Said Where You're Standing Isn't Important

Your position where your standing is important to your angle. Let's say your in a living room and you're standing near the flowers and the couch was on the side, you're taking pictures of the couch. Then the picture would have a good side angle of the couch if you lower it a little bit, it'll look a little dramatic. Standing in a position is like a view, so let's call it a view. Now take a look at the Photos above. They all have a different perspective and they're all edited. Guess what?
We're going to get to that next.
