You do not have to let time\u2014or technology\u2014take its toll on the pictures of your family and loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly do we mean by this? Well, we want you to know how important it is for you to capture your memories because digital photography has changed the game when it comes to capturing memories.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of tips that will help you with this process. First, take portraits that are focused on your subjects&#8217; faces. It is true; most people really do not appreciate blurry or fuzzy photos of their loved ones. Secondly, take a lot of shots. For example, try to shoot at least ten photos per sitting. Thirdly, make sure that you download your images right away so that they are saved in case anything happens to them.*<\/p>\n<p>We hope that these tips have helped you out with this process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When we are young, every moment of our lives seems like it will be important forever. We take hundreds of pictures and videos, recording everything from our first steps to our first day of school. But then we grow up, the world seems to get more complicated, and we stop.<\/p>\n<p>Today, technology allows for so many different ways to capture your family&#8217;s special moments that you may feel a little lost as to which is right for you. To make things simple, check out these tips to help you decide what type of portrait session is best for your family:<\/p>\n<p>1) What type of camera should I use?<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s world there are hundreds of cameras available. Each one has a different style and each style has its own advantages. A professional photographer can help you choose the right camera for you based on your needs and personal preferences. When choosing a camera, consider:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Look &#038; Feel \u2013 Do you prefer a digital or film camera? Digital cameras allow you to review and edit your photos but film cameras are more traditional.<\/p>\n<p>2) Where should I have my portraits taken?<\/p>\n<p>The location for your shoot can be just as unique as the photos themselves! Be sure to have a variety of indoor and outdoor options available so that you can capture the best lighting<\/p>\n<p>There are different ways to capture your memories. You can use a digital camera, you can use a film camera, or you can use both. The digital cameras available today are relatively inexpensive and using them is very convenient. You just point and shoot. However, if you want to save money and have a better quality picture you should use a film camera.<\/p>\n<p>Find out what kind of lenses the photographer uses for better pictures. If you do not know how to select the right lens for your pictures, ask the photographer to explain it to you. If he has taken outstanding pictures before, then he should be able to help you.<\/p>\n<p>The film cameras are more expensive than the digital cameras so make sure that you find a shop that sells second-hand equipment at an affordable price. Second-hand equipment usually works perfectly fine and is good for taking memorable pictures.<\/p>\n<p>You may want to leave a legacy for your family and friends, or simply capture unforgettable images of your kids. Whatever the reason, you need to decide how you want to preserve these memories.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to produce photographs, including traditional methods and modern technology. Some people still have their favorite old cameras and film at home, but most have moved on to digital cameras that use memory cards. The following tips will help you decide which method is best for you.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people ask the question, &#8220;How do I make my pictures &#8216;pop&#8217;?&#8221; I will try to answer that question and give you a few tips on how to do it. First, let&#8217;s deal with the theory behind the pop.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of my favorite quotes that describe the pop in a photograph.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it.&#8221;-Martha Graham<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.&#8221;-Aristotle<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Art allows us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.&#8221;-&#8220;Thomas Merton&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now that we have some background information let&#8217;s talk about what we need to do to capture our memories. Photographs capture moments in time but also feelings and thoughts we have during those times. Capturing these special moments can be done by using certain techniques when taking pictures such as using light and shadows, positioning yourself for better background or multiple shots for different emotions<\/p>\n<p>In photography, the rule of thirds suggests you place your subject at one of the four &#8220;intersections&#8221; formed by lines drawn between two intersections on the horizontal and vertical axes. An alternative is to imagine the face of a clock, with the most interesting part of your shot being placed near 12 o&#8217;clock.<\/p>\n<p>Printed photographs have been around since the 1840s, but it took a while for techniques to develop that allowed photographers to capture action and scenery in natural light. The first photos were simply copies of paintings or other still-life images. Early indoor portraits were often taken against a wall or curtain backdrop.<\/p>\n<p>The camera obscura (Latin for &#8220;dark chamber&#8221;) was one of the earliest forms of photography. It used an optical device that projected incoming images upside down onto a piece of paper or other surface, making them easier to trace. The first camera obscuras were probably built in China around 250 CE.<\/p>\n<p>In 1826 Joseph Nic\u00e9phore Ni\u00e9pce used Bitumen of Judea coated onto a pewter plate to create photogenic drawings, which produced one of the first photographs made out of a light-sensitive material. The photo had to be exposed for several hours before it could be properly developed and fixed.<\/p>\n<p>Painting a picture is a way of remembering something. Whether it&#8217;s an important memory or an embarrassing one, when you paint it, you&#8217;re making yourself remember.<\/p>\n<p>The process of painting creates a link between you and the subject. Sometimes the link can be tenuous, other times not. But even if you&#8217;re painting something that happened to someone else, whether they&#8217;re dead or alive, there is still a connection between you and them.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost impossible to make a good painting of something without making some kind of personal connection with your subject. Because paintings are created by artists, who are people, paintings inevitably represent people and their experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Telling a story in pictures is different from telling it in words because pictures are more immersive than words. In writing, you have to choose one word to represent each idea in your head; the reader then has to read all those words to understand what you mean. But in a picture, there&#8217;s only one thought per image; each image is its own sentence that conveys its meaning instantly.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xSCVL7KsumY?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZylYvXX77ac?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are here to tell you that it is possible for you to capture your memories.
