3. I think I am a over planner because i just don't take a picture of anything , and when ever I take a picture I want it to be perfect and on point.

4. One of the question can be "what is the subject of this photo?"
The next question can be "what is going on in the background of this shot?"

My Three Techniques

The three techniques I picked to write about would be “The rule of thirds,” “Fill your frame,” and “Getting image straight”. The reason I picked these three techniques is because it is some of the most important rules, when you’re taking a picture for me.

The first technique I picked was rule of thirds. I picked this because to me this is one of the first things you have to know when you’re taking a picture. The next reason was that it teaches you how to balance your image. The rule of thirds also helps you with the basic principle like breaking down the image so your viewers will interact with the image with more naturally.

My next technique will be filling your frame. This is also important because it teaches you how to take a picture when someone is a few meters away from you. It also help’s you with putting the person in the right context with the environment that they are in.

The last technique will be getting image straight, this technique will help you with making your image straight and you can get help by finding something straight in the room and take the picture and that can help you out.

So that was my three techniques and I think that these these technique and I think that these technique are some very good ones because they can help you out a lot.
