Ok, so one thing I try to do almost all the time when taking pictures of any kind is that I try to fill the frame. Which means to make sure the subject is in the center of your photograph and has nothing else around it that is too distracting. Also, if by any chance I am unable to fill the frame, I tend to crop my photos in my photo editing program so that there aren’t as many distracting things around the subject I was trying to photograph. Hmm…let’s see if I can give an example photograph. Ah ha, got one…it’s not a great photograph by any means. It’s okay, but not my favorite…but it’ll do great in an example.

As you can see…there is a lot distracting from the horses in this photo. The road, the cars, the fence, etc. So in order to make the photo a little better, I cropped out most of that and in this next photo you can see what I mean. The focus is now on the horses, how it’s meant to be. I filled the frame…well, I used my computer to do that and not my camera, but it still gives the same effect.

So there you have it. A great tip that every photographer should follow :) .
