Lessonph1-3. Check Your Background
Once you have your frame, once you have your background, double-check for details. Is there anything in the way that can wreck your picture? Do you see anything in the way that can wreck our picture? How about a green tarp covered with disgusting paint? You choose to move the tarp out of the way or change the angle. Since you’ve chosen this background, I suggest you move things out of the way. If it’s people, be very discrete if they can move OK. Otherwise, consider waiting or if they look nasty, choose another angle. In this case, I don’t think the tarp will give us a big problem. There, that wasn’t so difficult. Now we can take a better picture. ph1-3. PracticeTake two pictures of yourself.
