Clipped Highlights is a free, curated, weekly newsletter that will be sent out every Wednesday morning and will focus on a few of the most important stories of the previous week and explain why they deserve your attention. This newsletter is different from our daily news brief in that it provides unique insights that can only be found in Clipped Highlights.Study the lighting situation before shooting and look for areas of light and dark in the scene. If needed, you can use an external light source (such as a reflector) to bring more light into certain areas of the photo or even add some dramatic lighting effects. Is it Missing Something? Regarding the outcomes of the above experiment, we might wonder about two particular effects: Why did marriage and children become less desirable to those who had viewed pornography?

Interesting photos often contain something unique and unexpected. Look for moments of surprise, humor, or even sadness that you can capture in your images. Unusual perspectives and close-ups can also add visual interest to photos and help them stand out from the crowd. Generation Z appears to be driving this trend. The 0.5 selfie trend, which leaves the subject with huge foreheads, super long arms, and tiny bodies, is particularly popular among under-25s. If you think of yourself as having “good” body image, you might feel shame about reacting negatively to a photo—it’s so trivial, right? But the fact is, appearance pressures are virtually inescapable today, and it’s only human for you to feel their effects, no matter the state of your body image. Composition – How you frame the image is also key, it should be balanced and follow some kind of rule such as the ‘Rule of Thirds’ where lines are drawn dividing an image into three equal parts horizontally and vertically, making sure that the focal point resides on one of these lines.If a photo is too light or dark you can either delve through the dozens of scene modes that are available in modern point-and-shoot cameras, or simply dial in a bit of exposure compensation. Many cameras have a physical button or dial for this, identified by a +/- symbol. If your photo is too dark, move the scale up above zero; if it's too light, move it down a bit. If you find any of this hard to read, imagine it going into the mind of a 16-year-old or 6-year-old — and staying there and potentially affecting their values,character, and how they think about sex.A2016 Middlesex University study of British 11- to 16-year-olds found that: The mind stores everything. Porn will put images in your mind that you may not be able to get rid of, even if you want to.

You can also look at what’s going on in the image—for example, are the people in it praying rather than protesting? The more teens watch porn, the more likely some are to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors such as anal sex, sex with multiple partners, and sex while using drugs.Finally, think about what type of message you want to convey with your image. When people view your photo, what do you want them to take away from it? Is it a simple portrait or are there layers of meaning? Make sure that your photo is conveying something meaningful; if it’s just a pretty picture without any deeper significance, then it might not be good enough. If searching with Google doesn’t find any results, there are many alternatives: you can use Bing, the dedicated reverse image search engine TinEye, or install a Google Chrome plug-in called RevEye, which allows you to reverse image search on five search engines in one go. It's actually an image of people praying in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt. It was taken in November 2011. Good composition is one of the most important elements of creating a great photograph. The way you arrange your subject and other visual elements within the frame can make all the difference in how successful an image is.
