7 FALLOS DE NOVATO que cometes con la FOTOGRAFÍA 🥵

Introduction and Background

In this section, the speaker introduces the topic of common mistakes in photography and expresses the intention to share their own experiences to help beginners improve their skills.

Common Mistakes in Photography

• Many beginners focus solely on the main subject of their photograph and overlook the importance of the background.

• The background can either enhance or ruin an image, so it is crucial to consider its composition.

• Sometimes, it is better to completely blur out the background by using a wide aperture, while other times, the background itself may be more interesting than the main subject.

• When taking a photo, think about how the background will complement or detract from your composition.

Importance of Backups and Memory Cards

This section emphasizes the significance of having backups for photographs and carrying extra memory cards when shooting.

Backup Strategies

• It is essential to have backups for your photos. Don't rely on having them stored in just one location.

• Make sure you have multiple copies of your images, such as physical hard drives and cloud storage.

• Consider keeping backups in different physical locations to protect against potential disasters like fires or hardware failures.

• Always empty your memory card before a photoshoot and ensure you have enough space available. Carry extra memory cards with you.

Organizing Photos and Knowing Your Camera

This section highlights two important aspects of photography - organizing photos effectively and understanding your camera's features.

Photo Organization

• Avoid storing all your photos in one place without proper organization. If something happens to that location (e.g., computer crash), you risk losing all your images.

• Create a system for organizing your photos across multiple devices or platforms. Regularly back up your files and keep them organized.

Knowing Your Camera

• Take the time to thoroughly understand your camera's settings, buttons, and menus.

• Explore the menu options and familiarize yourself with all the features your camera offers.

• This knowledge will help you quickly adjust settings while shooting and make the most of your equipment.

Importance of Composition in Photography

This section emphasizes the significance of composition in photography and provides tips for improving it.

Understanding Composition

• Composition is a fundamental aspect of photography that involves arranging elements within a frame to create visually appealing images.

• Learn about different composition techniques such as leading lines, color contrast, framing, and balance.

• Study works of art, photographs, movies, and analyze how they use composition to create impactful visuals.

• Apply these techniques to your own photography to enhance the overall quality of your images.

Proper Use of Tripods

This section discusses when it is appropriate to use tripods in photography and when they may hinder creativity.

Tripod Usage

• While tripods can be useful in certain situations like long exposures or extended waits for specific shots, they are not always necessary.

• Avoid relying too heavily on tripods as they can limit your ability to quickly change angles or perspectives.

• Experiment with handheld shooting positions, including low-angle shots or unique angles that may be obstructed by a tripod.

Researching Locations before Photoshoots

This section emphasizes the importance of researching locations before going out for photoshoots.

Location Research

• Before any photoshoot session (e.g., portraits or landscapes), invest time in researching the location thoroughly.

• Understand the surroundings, lighting conditions, potential obstacles or opportunities, and plan accordingly.

• This preparation will help you make the most of your time on-site and capture better photographs.

Remember to practice these tips and continuously improve your photography skills.

Importance of Patience and Pre-production

In this section, the speaker emphasizes the importance of patience and pre-production in photography.

The Significance of Patience

• Many times, when exploring landscapes, it is crucial to have patience.

• It is common to wait for the perfect moment when the clouds or lighting are more favorable.

• One mistake beginners often make is lacking patience and not taking the time to wait for the ideal conditions.

The Role of Pre-production

• Pre-production, which includes researching and planning before taking a photo, is essential.

• It is one of the most important aspects of photography.

• Investigating and understanding the location beforehand can greatly enhance the final result.

Avoid Over-editing

This section focuses on avoiding over-editing photos during post-processing.

Common Beginner Mistake

• Beginners often open editing software without a clear plan and start adjusting various settings randomly.

• They spend excessive time experimenting with different adjustments without knowing their purpose.

Fundamental Approach to Editing

• Before starting any edits, it is crucial to think about what needs improvement in a photograph.

• Analyze the image and identify specific areas that require adjustment, such as warmth, contrast, or clarity.

• Instead of blindly editing every aspect, focus on targeted enhancements based on your vision for the photo.

Developing a Consistent Style

This section discusses the importance of developing a consistent style in photography.

Individual Style vs. Over-editing

• Editing each photo differently can lead to inconsistency in style.

• It is important to establish a personal style that can be applied consistently across your photographs.

Key Points for Consistency

• Learn what works best for you and apply it to most of your photos.

• Avoid excessive editing, as it can lead to unnecessary changes and confusion about your style.
