Sounds easy, right? Well, when you have practiced. But when you are just learning to get better shots with more depth and clarity can begin to focus on technique, but may begin to forget the artistic side and vice versa.

Their common problem when starting to learn digital photography. We realize that we must drill the technique in the head so that we can improve, and what usually happens is that we get caught for a while. We forget that the photography is art. And the artistic side of the digital photo needs perfect composition. So this is a handy technique I discovered for myself same to get the perfect structure in my composition that I share with you now.

A great way, there is a great way to get a composition perfect in your digital photos is to practice with the zoom. Start by choosing your topic and focus on it.

Let's say it's an apple in a bank. Normally what happens is helping people make the angle too far, get the distracting background objects in the image. This removes the beauty and freshness of the material that leaves us rather cold, as far as an emotional response to the photo.

There are a few things you can do. You can eliminate annoying background clutter and adopt the child as an individual, against an aspect of "nothingness". This can be quite an effective shot. Or you can bring a little while and see what the composition works well. This is what can zoom in increments.
Zooming in on an issue increases can be a very effective way to practice for their perfect composition. You can take several photos of the apple using different "zoom lengths" to get the correct angle.

Note that this may impact the light of the photo. In general, how works is that the closer you zoom the less light you have to work because you are approaching your subject and reducing the physical space that the light falls in an area. This really applies if the item does not have its own lighting.
To compensate this decrease of light can change its opening. This means altering the camera F-stop if possible. You can start from 1 meter away from the apple in the F 16, for example. So when one is about the loss of more light than the experience and only may find that changing the F stop to F8 works well when it reduces the distance between you and the apple, ie instead of taking the photo of 1 meter distance, taking 10 cm away.

Try this and see what I mean. Playing with the zoom can really help to launch your mind on the feeling that the best composition. And soon, you will not even have to think about it consciously, because I only know what works.

Happy Shooting!
