Photo Friday – Tip #5

By Keneth

Previous – Tip #4

Tip #5 – Use the O.B.E.S.E Rule

(Dumb Name I know.)

 

If you can remember, the previous tip was using the Rule of Thirds! Please go and read if you haven’t! It’s useful!

Today, I shall talk about this thing called OBESE. To tell you the truth, and only the truth. I’m in love. The name, is anyhow make one. HAHA. Feel cheated? Although, I made it up, at least got some meaning ok! :tongue:

It stands for… Observe, Browse, Experiment, Share, and Express.

Repeat after me. You are OBESE. :lol:

Observe – As simple as it is, it’s important! Just like Maths lesson. You must observe your teacher do first right? So in terms of photography, Observe how the photos are taken! Observe how people take their photos! Observe your surroundings! Simple! :smile:

Browse – NOPE. Please don’t go browsing through your boyfriend/girlfriend’s SMSes! Respect his/her privacy! (Unless he/she only has one contact and all the messages come from only you. HAHA.) Ok, back to topic! Browse through photos! Everywhere! My favourite online place to browse is Flickr! There’s no end to this. :happy: Keep looking and browsing! Look out for nice photos, bookmark them! The more the merrier!

Experiment – Now, after you browse and observe, it’s time to experiment! :blush: Looking at your Maths teacher 24/7 won’t do. You need to practice and experiment! Copy others! After browsing through 603473 photos, try to imitate the photo! Try different angles, use the Rule of Thirds, anyhow snap! The key is to experiment. :smile: Now, where is the lock?

Share – Experiment finish already, must share! Bad or good or better or best, must share! Post it on blog, MMS people, share on flickr, print out and show your everyone or print flyers and distribute. :ninja: If you don’t share, only you and your computer can see… Don’t forget, you are contributing to the “Browse” when you share! People are browsing too!

Express – This one is slightly two-way. After sharing, people will express how nice your photos are! You can express your happiness back to them! If people express to you that your photos need improvement, express your gratitude! After that, start from step 1. Which is from, Observe! You can choose to express your dissatisfaction also if you want! But you better get a better photo after that! Or else, you become :alien: .

Hope this helps!

(P.S : I’m also doing the above ok! Not that I’m obese. I’m pretty silm. HAHA.)
