As photographers, at one point or the other, we have all taken bad photos that we were never proud of.

What are bad photos? Bad photos are those photos that lack photography basics like good composition, lighting, story, colour balancing, clarity, details sharpness, etc.

In this article, I will be pointing out some key areas that lead us to take bad photos and recommend some steps that would help you create better photos.

Blur photos: When your image is blurry and has no center of focus, then it can be said to be a bad photo. This is caused as a result of shaky hands; struggling to focus on both manual and automatic mode leaves you with bad photos.

How Straight: You must have been faced with a situation trying to take a shot in a crowded and busy event and you find out the photo is tilted, bent, or not straight. Not all images that are bent or tilted should be trashed. But if it is only slightly off, you can rotate and crop the image to make it straight without losing too much of the visual essence. Using your crop tool, horizon surface will help you find out whether it’s straight or not.

Overexposure: Your environment determines a whole lot in your image outcome. Overexposure is known as blow out or blown highlights. This usually happens when there’s excess light from the sun or any other source that greatly affects your photos. Some photographers are always intentional with blown-out images because of what they want to achieve.

Do you take pictures in darkrooms: To me, this defiles the definition of photography which involves light.  Having to take pictures in a room requires flashlight otherwise your image will be dark and underexposed. Always have it in mind that you need light no matter what.

Is your colour correct: Your colour composition matters whenever you’re making your images. Starting from the outfit of your subject to the white balance and editing process.
