Focus on the angle of view
When catching an image, the photographer has limited access to capture everything since it is only limited to the frame of the camera. To make the photo presentable, check all the essential things that you need to capture and be sure that they are within the frame. At the same time, you want to omit the ones you don't want to include in the photo. It would be funny to post photos with headless individuals or a disgusting image that will ruin your blog.
Clutter in an image is normal.It's hard to control this element, particularly if you're trying to take a picture of something in public such as a landmark or a busy marketplace. But the good news is that the clutter can be fixed when it goes well with the subject. Otherwise, if you're taking a picture of a product, for example, clutter must be removed. You want your readers' attention to go towards the subject right away. You may also opt to crop or hide the clutter by using a photo editing software.
Proper photo arrangement
Since you have already made an outline to your subject, allow your artistic talent to emerge. In the field of photography, there's an extensive photo arrangement technique for the experts which they normally practice. It's known as the 'Rule of Thirds'. The idea is to divide the angle of view into imaginary 3x3 sections. Next, when you decide to take your picture, you arrange your subjects in the areas where the photo is divided. Maybe it has something to do with science because the product is a wonderful photo with exact proportion.
There are various possible ways to enjoy image composition. Other photographers capture images using numerous angles, while some have props to improve a certain image. It's really up to you on how you want your subject to be presented. Simply placing the subject in the middle of the field of view can prove to be too boring. Food photographers, for example, place the plate of food in an off-center fashion to ignite more interest in it.
Camera Settings

But that's not a recommended practice, since you can be missing out on your camera's potential. Before setting out to take pictures for your blog, adjust your camera settings to fit the day's conditions. Make use of macro setting if your plan is to capture a focused image; zoom in or out; regulate the level of exposure if it is possible in your camera; set it to night mode if it's a night pictorial. Not all cameras are made the same way so it's important to know your camera's strengths and weaknesses. If still unsuccessful, use the photo editing software to correct the images.
Blogging has evolved from simply being an online journal. Since you already discovered how to enhance your blog photos, you can go back to creating worthy articles. The outcome will surely be at par with that of veteran bloggers.
