Filling the Frame

Another simple technique that you can use to achieve better photo's is to fill your frame. Look at the top photo of one of my mom's dogs, Yogi. Just an ordinary shot right ........well it doesn't have to be! Not if you get in closer and fill your frame like below

Better right!

Closer is also always better for people as when you move further away you tend to lose the expression on their faces.
Here are a few ways that you can get in closer to fill the frame:
1. Use your camera's zoom
2. Physically get closer - you should never just stand in one place shooting away but rather move around and get different viewpoints including a closer one.
3. Crop your shots. If its not possible to zoom in anymore or get closer you can always crop your photo after so that it fills the frame.
