When taking photos its important to choose which part of the image you want your camera to focus on. This helps you to pick which part of the image you want the viewers eyes drawn to.
In the photos below you can see that although I didn't move the camera and at first glance each photo looks the same, I have changed the focus point in each one so that it is on a different flower in each picture,drawing your eyes to that flower.
On your phone you should be able to change the focus point by tapping the screen in the area you want to focus on ( focal point of your photo) before taking the photo.
On a camera that has a manual focus lens you would just twist the lens until it is focused on the point you want. If you have an auto focus lens you should be able to move the square focus point using the directional buttons. This of course will depend on your camera and you should check your manual to confirm.
Don't forget to send me your photos using this tip so I can display it in my exhibition at the end of this workshop. I would be grateful if you could also send me photos of you doing the work for my course. Email me here
