The unauthorised use of photographs downloaded
from internet photo albums ¡is not uncommon, and it
would be impossible to count how many local advertising

E And ifthey do get caught, the legal process is
too complicated, expensive, and frankly unclear for it to
be worth pursuing.
As rarely as the culprits are caught, there are
countless known cases of such 'borrowing'. In one case,
a major mobile phone provider used photographs taken
from an internet photo album site in one of its campaigns,
and justified ¡it by saying that ¡t was “promoting creative
freedom. *
Professional photographers have also been affected,
and the law has not been clearin decidingifunauthorised
use is legal or not. A California newspaper used a
copyrighted photo taken by a professional photographer
without seeking his permission, and when he sued them,
the jury decided ¡t was a case of “fair use' — leaving the
photographer with nothing but legal fees and frustration.
On the other hand, a New York judge awarded a Quebec-
based photographer over 560,000 in damages when he
sued an online travel agency for their use of four photos
he had shot in Ghana. Meanwhile, the photos had been
and used on at least 200 other websites,
according to the photographer, *
'Professional photographers are ¡na better position
to seek damages because they copyright their work,
said Szymanski. 'But for most people who simply upload
snapshots to share with friends, there's very little they
can do.
So the next time you upload a photo of yourself with a
big grin, don't be surprised if you find yourself advertising

UN IA ANNA
Most of us think we're too clever to be caught by an email
scam, but hustlers know they can always find someone
naive enough to fall for theirtricks. They also know five key
facts about human nature, and one of these is behind every
email scam you'll come across,
1 ¿You would think people would learn, but the
desire for more money is our greatest vulnerability. From the
Instant lottery (You've already won!) to an inheritance from
the relative you never knew you had, the scam always alms at
the same thing: to get you to pay in advance in the hope that
you'll get back ten ora hundred times that much later.
2 + ls amazing how many of us imagine we've
written a great novel, or al least a good poem, and have such
a strong desire for recognition that we'd actually pay for tb.
The publishing scam works in clever stages, starting with a
simple request to submit your poem. You then find out it's
been chosen as a semitfinalist in a poetry contest; you only
need lo send in some money lo register. Eventually you're
asked for a large amount of cash lo cover travel costs so
that you can go and receive your prize at the (non-existent)
presentation ceremony!
ARA
4 : The email may contain a direct threat with
an equally direct demand for money or it may be more subtle
and tell you that your bank account has been attacked and
you heed to enter your personal details, including your PIN,
to protect it; or that your email account will be cancelled
unless you verify your password. Of course, once he
scammers have this information, they can get to your money
or pretend they're you and use that disguise to get money.
5 ¿Who can ignore a photograph of a suffering
child or the plight of disaster victims in need? Sadly, for every
legitimate charity in operation there are probably dozens of
fake charities using our natural kindness and compassion to
gel us to transfer money to a bank account somewhere, but
the end result js that we're just making millionaires out of the
scalmmers.
So, fyou've received an email
from an unverifiable source
and you're feeling greed,
pride, curiosity, fear or
sympathy, you're probably
being scammed.

3 : IFyou find yourself paying for a premium

subscription' to a service that promises to give you access to
information — about yourself or someone else — you might be
paying for a genuine, functioning service, butit might just be
another scam that preys on your desire to know more. These
often start out by telling you that THEY have information
about YOU and that you can protect that information by
subscribing; or they offer information about anyone you want.
There are agencies that really do sell personal information (for
example, credit ratings), but many of these offers are bogus.

| =Interviewer, O = Owen Winters
Il: Do you have a dream? Is there
something you've always wanted to
do but somehow have never managed
to? Well my guest today is the man
who can make it all happen, for a price
of course, Owen Winters, founder of
Dreams Come True. Owen, welcome to
the programme.
O: Thank you for having me.
: Sotell us, how does Dreams Come
True work?
O: OK, well it's quite simple. We help
people make their lifelong dream
come true — whatever ¡t is.
l Soifl, for instance, have dreamt
of being a rock star since | was a
teenager, you can help me with that.
O: Yes, that's right. And in fact not long
ago we had a client, a woman, who
wanted exactly that.
And you made hera rock star.
Ozor
: Well, we couldn't give her talent ...
Not that rock stars are always talented.
: Right, but in talking with her, we
worked out that the image she had
in her mind was doing a live concert
to a huge audience. She wanted
to experience the sensation of
performing in front of thousands of
screaming fans.
l: And so how did you manage that?
O: Well, to be honest, it's a bit like
producing a scene in a film. In fact,
that's my background, | worked as
a production manager in the film
business for many years, till just a few
years ago.
That's interesting.
O: Yeah, so in this case, we needed to
find a venue, an arena where rock
concerts are held, a place we could
rent out for an evening. Then we
needed a backing band, a crew to set
the whole thing up and ...
l: And how about the thousands of
screaming fans?
O: Well, just like getting extras for a film,
¡ts not that difficult.
l: Did you pay the fans?
O: Some of them, yes. We price up the
different parts of the plan, write a
budget, give the client the Agure,
and if they agree to the terms, we go
ahead and do it.
l: How much did this rock concert cost?
O; l'm afraid | can't tell you. We don't
reveal any financial details,
l: Oh, OK. Well, what other dreams have
you made come true recently?
O: Let's see, we've just Anished
working with a client who wants to
fly across the Atlantic Ocean on a
supersonic aeroplane.
l: But Concorde no longer flies.
O: No, but we've just found a solution to
that, using an air force plane, | can't
tell you which air force.
l:: Another trade secret.
O: Well, a military secret, actually.
And another client wants to pilot a
submarine. We've done the Normandy
beach landings from the Second
World War, with the client as general,
we've done dining with a movie star,
spending a night inside a pyramid and
lots of make-up jobs,
l: Make-up jobs?
O: Yes, some people - all their life — have
been curious about what ¡Us like to be
a man or a woman, or a celebrity ...
l: And you make them up to look the
way they want,
O: That's right. We've recently done a job
for a guy who wanted to look like Tom
Cruise fora day. Our make-up artist
did a brilliant job, but the guy couldn't
wait for the day to end.
l: Why was that?
O; Too much attention. He couldn't go
anywhere without getting asked for
an autograph. We suggested that we
provide bodyguards, but he didn't
want to pay for that.
l: And have you ever had to say no to
a request?
O: Hmm... We never say no to a dream.
But sometimes it does take time. One
client wanted to fly in space, to be an
astronaut. That wasn't possible back
when she first requested it, But since
then ¡t's become possible for ordinary
people to go into space, again for a
price, and in fact she's blasting off on
the next tourist flight.
l: Incredible. So what do you think
has been your most extraordinary
request? And ...

Speaker 1
| decided to do this because | hate ¡t
when people forget my name, like at
school the teachers who don't know
your name, they don't give you so much
attention. So anyway, | looked on some
websites to And out the best way to do
it. Apparently there are two important
things: first is that when you're
introduced you really pay attention and
look at the person and try to find a way
to remember the name, For example, |
recently met a woman called Keira and
she had curly hair, so Keira, curly, sounds
similar, you see what | mean. That was
easy. Then, secondly, you need to repeat
the name as often as possible, say it to
yourself several times and use it when
you're talking to the person. You just
have to be careful that you don't sound
really strange. Anyway, the result's been
good. Somehow people seem friendlier
and | feel a lot more confident about
chatting to people, The only problem
is someone told me it made people
uncomfortable because they couldn't
remember my name!
Speaker 2
ltwas quite dificult at first. ... | mean
you actually have to stop people trying
to give you one. | didn't realise before |
started how many are given out all the
time. | thought this was á good thing to
do because apparently it can take up to
a thousand years for one to decay and
about thirteen billion are given out each
year in the UK alone. And ¡t's not only
the pollution but animals and fish can
get caught in them. Anyway, | invested in
two shopping bags and I've been using
them for the past three months. The
only problems | keep forgetting to take
them out of the house or| leave them
in the car, which is very annoying. My
solution has been to get one of those
fold-up bags that you can carry in your
pocket or bag. I've got all my friends to
do the same and now our local shops are
going to become a plastic-bag-free zone.
At least that will make me remember to
take a bag!
Speaker 3
| thought this was a good one to try
because everyone always looks so
bored or miserable, especially on public
transport. 50 the next time | was sitting
on a train and someone sat opposite me
| looked up and gave them a big smile.
They looked a bit surprised but smiled
back at me, then buried their face in
the newspaper | got the impression
they were a bit embarrassed. Anyway, |
continued and kept smiling at all sorts of
people during the day. To be honest, | got
a mixed reaction, but the kids and older
people seemed the friendliest, Oh and |
found out later that one woman in the
office thought | was flirting with her!
Speaker 4
| decided to combine two of the ideas.
l've always been hopeless at telling
jokes, l'm sure it's not because | don't
have a sense of humour. It's something
about the timing. And | know that jokes
are great for building relationships and
good for me personally as | often have
to give business presentations and a
funny story really helps build rapport
with the audience. One of the best things
about doing this was that | asked all my
friends to tell me their favourite jokes
and we had lots of laugh-out-loud times
together. And l'm getting better, though |
did have one very embarrassing moment
at work when | told my joke to my boss
and he just stared at me like | was an
idiot, You want to hear a joke? Something
short? OK... uh, What do cows do on
Saturday night? They rent moooovies!

A: Do you think students should be

A: Mm, I'm not so sure, you know how

An eight-year-old boy has been rescued
by an enterprising Bangkok firefighter.
The boy from Thailand is autistic and had
been feeling very nervous before his first
day of school but initially he seemed to
be OK. However, during the first lesson
his teacher was explaining something to
the class when she realised that the boy
had climbed out of the window. 'He was
sitting just outside the window with his
legs swinging over the edge.
The rescue services were called in when
the boy's mother had also failed to get
the boy down. Everyone was beginning
to run out of ideas when one of the
firefighters, Somchai Yoosabai, overheard
the boy's mother talking about her
sons love of superheroes. The quick-
thinking fireman rushed back to the fire
station and changed into his Spider-Man
costume. (Until then, Mr Somchai had
been using the costume to make school
fire drills more interesting.) 'l told him
"Spider-Man is here to rescue you. No
monsters are going to attack you.” ' The
sight brought a smile to the youngster's
face and he immediately walked into his
rescuer's arms.
PLA Recording2
Hello and welcome to Arts Review. In
tonight's programme we look at a rather
surprising answer to the question: How
many stories exist? You might think that
there are hundreds or thousands of
different stories in literature, theatre and
film but experts like to put the number
rather lower, anything between one and
twelve, Now, in a new book, Christopher
Booker says that there are exactly seven
basic 'plots' and every story in the world
can fit into one of them. Before we review
his book, here are the seven.
Plot one: Overcoming the monster.
In this story, the hero or heroine has to
battle and defeat a monster. This could
bea real monster, for example, Dracula,
ro1
orit could be a person, such as a Villain
ina James Bond Álm. The monster is
defeated, the hero is victorious, the
community is saved and order returns
to the world. Most detective stories
are actually variations on the theme of
overcoming the monster.
Plot two: Rags to riches.
This idea is found in countless stories.
Pu
It involves a very ordinary person or
hn
someone that everyone thinks is normal,
nothing special. Then during the course
of the story, it's shown that this person
is in fact extraordinary. Just think of the
story of Superman or any story of an
ordinary person who ends up marrying
someone rich.
Plot three: The quest.
This features a main character who
travels a long distance, often with
companions, in search of a treasure or
to do a brave or noble act. At the end
he or she succeeds and is rewarded in
some way, often by keeping the treasure
or sometimes by saving a community.
Probably the best known example of
this is The Lord of the Rings. Interestingly,
it's also often the basis of many
computer games,
Plot four: Voyage and return.
This typically tells the story of an
ordinary person who is thrown into a
completely strange and alien world, one
that is outside their experience. Often
they face dangers and dificulties and
then have a thrilling escape back to their
original situation. There was a TV series
called Lost about people whose plane
crashed on a desert island. That was a
voyage and return story.
Plot five: Comedy.
This doesn't always mean humour
although the story can be funny. It's more
about a situation which is full of mistakes
and mix-ups. The whole story gets more
and more confused until at the end
everything is sorted out and there's a
happy ending.
Plot six: Tragedy.
As its name suggests, this plot never has
a happy ending. It's about what terrible
things can happen when someone tries
to get power or go against the system.
This person often has a weakness in their
character and this weakness is the reason
that everything ends badly. There are lots
of examples in theatre, such as Romeo
and Juliet, who fall in love although their
families hate each other.
Plot seven: Rebirth.
This plot is about a person in a dark and
difficult situation, maybe they've lost all
their money or their job or they are in
prison. Or perhaps he or she is unpopular
or has an unpleasant personality, Then a
series of events happens, often amazing
events, and the situation or the person
changes so that the character becomes a
kind of hero, a very positive character.
So that's all seven. Before we go onto
discuss these, there's an interesting
quote from the American novelist, Kurt
Vonnegut, who claimed ...

MEA Recording 3
Basically, the way it works is that you
drawa grid of5 by 5 squares on a piece
of paper. There are two players, and
the aim of the game is to complete the
sequence 'SOS' in a straight line as many
times as you can. So the first thing you
do is one of you writes an 'S' oran 'O' in
one of the squares. Then the other player
writes an 'S' or an 'O' in another square.
Whenever one of you completes an '505',
you get another turn and the point is not
to let your partner succeed because what
happens ¡is that one player gets an '5OS'
and then blocks the other player. It's easy
to lose track of who's winning so the key
thing is to keep score ofwho gets how
many'SOS'5. Then after you've Ánished
(once the grid is full), the winner is the
player with the most '50S5.

A: Have you ever wondered why
pregnant women don't tip over? Why
woodpeckers don't get headaches?
Or why, if you bend a piece of dry
spaghetti, lt often breaks into three or
more pieces? Well, researchers have
studied questions like these and some
of these researchers have received
the so-called lg Nobel Prize for their
work. And here to talk to us about the
prize is Martha Anton. So Martha, what
is the lg Nobel Prize and what'5 your
connection to lt?
B: Well, the name of the prize is, of
course, a play on words — it's not the
Nobel, it's the Ig-Nobel, as in ¡gnoble
- and it's awarded to researchers
and inventors for doing work which
first makes you laugh, then makes
you think.
A: So it's not a serious award.
B: Well, yes and no. Sometimes it's
given to someone as a criticism of
their work, sometimes as a point of
humour, but in many cases the prize
goes to someone for doing something
that we might think is really silly
or trivial, but which might lead to
a major breakthrough. Some of the
most important discoveries in history
started with a joke. And at the awards
ceremony, actual winners of the Nobel
Prize present the lg Nobel Prizes.
A: And what's your connection with the
lg Nobel Prize?
B: Besides the fact that l've always been
a big fan of the prize and fascinated
by the sort of people who win it, 'm
hoping to win it myself.
A: ld like to ask you about that in a
minute. So what other research has
won the lg Nobel?
o oa Eo
: Well, two researchers in Newcastle
won the Veterinary Medicine prize
for showing that if you give a cow a
name, and use the name, it will give
more milk.
; Fascinating.
: And there have been a great
many inventions, for example a
teenager repellent.
: Ateenager repellent?
: Yes, it's a device that makes an
annoying noise that only teenagers
can hear.
A: So adults can use it to keep
teenagers away.
: That's right.
+ | cant imagine why they'd want to
do that.
: Well, actually it was developed and ¡t's
been used by shopkeepers who want
to stop teenagers hanging around
outside their shops.
Really?
: And then there's the alarm clock that
runs away and hides so that people
can't switch it offand go back to sleep.
: Incredible!
: That won the lg Nobel for Economics,
because it helps add more work hours
to the day.
: Naturally.

: Oh yes, some years ago two Japanese
researchers won the prize for their
device called the Bow-Lingual. lt

Il began when | was six, but then again |
knew someone who started when they

much time you have to practise and your

chose the violin. That's important too.
'm not sure my parents were too happy

Speaker 2
| think there's actually a legal minimum
age in some countries, something like
thirty-five, but in my opinion it should
be at least Afty. Otherwise you just
don't have enough experience to do it.
But then of course you have to strike a
balance between maturity and energy.
You need to be able to react quickly to
events and survive sometimes on very
little sleep. So yes, someone in their

no older than that.

most of us don't have much idea when

is to try out lots of things to see what you
enjoy and develop lots of general skills.
That worked for me. Most companies
need staff who can get on with other
people and can communicate their
ideas clearly and who have reasonable
computer skills and things like that.

One of my favourite programmes when |
was a kid was a very famous show called
Mister Benh. | don't really remember
that much about it, | know it was my
favourite because my mother tells me
itwas. ltwas a cartoon and from what |
remember ¡Us about a guy who goes into
a fancy clothes shop and he puts on a
different outfit and then every time he

comes out of the clothes shop he's then
transported to a world that corresponds
with the outfit that he's wearing. | think |
liked it because there was this innocent
sense of adventure about it. | can't
remember much about any individual
episodes though,
Speaker2
The classic for Brits of my generation is
Blue Peter- it's hard to underestimate ¡ts
cultural impact. lt was a kind of magazine
programme for children. Basically, it
involved two or three presenters (who
also had a dog and a cat) involved in
various tasks — demonstrating how to
make toys or ornaments out of everyday
household objects, short documentary
trips to various places of interest and
so on. Occasionally they held interviews
with famous actors or performers of
some sort. They would also bring in
people who had some form of talent=
musical, for example - to do live studio
performances. Everyone wanted a 'Blue
Peter badge", the special prize you could
be awarded if you wrote in and they read
your letter or if you won a competition
or something similar — literally a badge
of honour.
Speaker 3
| liked this show Grange Hill because ¡t
was, | think, an accurate representation
of what life in an English comprehensive
school in a British city is like and it dealt
with issues that were interesting for teen
.. perhaps a bit younger than teenagers
.. 50 like when you were from nine to
twelve. | think it was a really good show
because you're not yet old enough to
watch adult TV but you're too old to
watch kids' TV and it kind of bridges
the gap between the two, and ¡t deals
with issues like drugs and sexin an
unpatronising, non-condescending way.
| suppose it was a kind of soap opera for
kids, but quite a serious one,
Speaker 4
When Iwas a teenager, my favourite
show was Monty Python. ltwas different
from any other kind of comedy show
we'd had before. Instead of separate
sketches with proper endings, in Monty
Python they'd start a sketch and then
suddenly stop it halfway or one sketch
would morph into another. IFa sketch
was getting boring thered be a news
announcer coming on and saying 'and
now for something completely different!'
The links between the sketches would
sometimes be cartoons, very surrealistic
and weird cartoons of people exploding
or strange machines. | suppose one of
the main reasons | liked ¡t was because
my parents didn't understand ¡tat all, so
it was a kind of rebellion. After a Monty
Python night we'd spend our entire
lunch break at school going through it,
remembering all the catchphrases and
taking each sketch apart.

Part 1
Today, in the third of my lectures on
human behaviour, 'm going to talk about
the difference between the way people
act when they're being watched — or
think they're being watched — and how
they act when they're unobserved. l'll be
a oa Eo
describing a recent experiment conducted
al Newcastle University l'll be drawing
conclusions from this experiment, to see
what ¡it teaches us about psychology and
behaviour and Anally, l'll be comparing
itwith other key research findings in
the area,
So, what did the team at Newcastle set
out to discover? They wanted to find
out whether the simple belief that they
were being watched would alter people's
behaviour. To do this they made use of an
'honesty box' in a staff common room at
the university. The idea behind the honesty
box was that staff members would pay
the correct amount for their coffee and
tea. This honesty box had been in there for
several years, so no one had any idea that
an experiment was taking place.
What they did was to place a small poster
at eye-level above the honesty box, listing
the prices for the drinks. However, each
week the poster alternated between
different images of either flowers or
of a pair of eyes looking straight at the
observer. Here, you can see examples of
the kind of pictures they used. At the end
of each week the team monitored the
amount of money that had been collected
and compared this to the volume of milk
that had been consumed, They found
that people paid nearly three times as
much money when the notice included a
pair of eyes as when it included an image
of flowers,
IUDTEEN recording 2
Part 2
So what does this experiment tell us?
Well, firstly it underlines something we
already know-—that our brains are hard-
wired, are programmed, to respond to
faces and eyes. It's important for people to
know ifthey're being watched. Secondly,
it shows that people are influenced iFthey
think they're being watched; they behave
less selfishly. The team were surprised by
the significant difference in the findings.
And what implications could this have
for the future? Well, the team believe the
idea could be applied to public situations
where people have to decide whether to
behave well or badly. One example would
be for warnings for speed cameras. The
team's previous studies show that drivers
would react more positively to images
of faces and eyes than to a picture of a
camera. Another place where a picture
of eyes could be placed is near a CCTV
camera in town centres.
Now, before | go on to discuss other
studies, does anyone have any questions?

A: ... and we're joined today by Alex
Temple, a researcher in something
called inattentional blindness.
Welcome to the show.
B: Thank you.
A: So for starters, can you tell us exactly
what is “¡nattentional blindness'?
B: Well, the best way | can explain it is
through some of the experiments that
have been done. The most famous is
the gorilla experiment. Subjects are
shown a Alm of two groups throwing
around a basketball, one group
dressed in white, the other in dark
clothes. And the viewer ¡s told to
count the number of times the team
in white passes the ball. After about
ten seconds, someone dressed in a
gorilla suit walks out to the middle,
faces the camera and then walks of.
Most people watching the film don't
notice the gorilla.
A; Don't notice ¡t? That's hard to believe.
B: It seems that way till you do it. The
point is that it's part of the nature of
how we see, or don't see, when we
pay attention.
A: You mean when we pay attention we
see less,
B: When we pay attention we see what
we're paying attention to. IFl ask you
to go out on Oxford Street and count
the number of people with glasses,
then when you come back | ask how
many teenagers you saw with parrots
on their shoulders, we'd get a similar
result, even if there were several
teenagers with parrots.
A: | suppose so. But why is this
so important?
UNITO MOTE
B: Well, when this happens
in everyday life it can have
significant consequences — a lot
of accidents happen because of
inattentional blindness.
A: For example?
B; Well, for example, road accidents.
Many accidents happen when a driver
is talking on his or her mobile phone,
using a hands-free set-up, which
is legal.A driver in this situation
actually misses a great deal of visual
information, or is slower to process it.
A: Acarstopping in front of them
for instance?
B: Exactly. When there's a smooth flow of
traffic and the driver is talking on the
phone, some of their ability to process
visual information is taken away. A
car stops in front ofthem and it's
like the gorilla — it's not what they're
concentrating on, or looking for, and
so they don't see” it, They also tend
not to notice advertising hoardings
by the road, for instance, even quite
striking ones.
A: Maybe this explains why | miss signs
when l'm driving.
B: Well, iFyou're driving in the USA and
you're looking for a sign that says
city centre" you might not notice the
one that says “downtown', even if
you're not talking on the phone. That's
more about selective seeing, which is
related to inattentional blindness,
: And how isthis. «information used?
: In lots oFways. We use simulators to
demonstrate to trained pilots that
they're less likely to notice something
unusual on the airport runway than
an untrained person - and this
awareness helps them adjust how
they use their visual perception and
processing, and can prevent accidents,
: Fascinating.
: And in more common jobs, like a
guard in a store. They expect a thief
to try and hide what they're doing, so
if someone steals something openly
- just smiles, greets the guard and
walks out of the store — they might
not notice it. We da simulations ta
train guards not to be blinded by their
expectations of how a thief behaves.
¿ So'it's really about training people not
to be blind,
Yes. Though we've seen applications
in design too. It's happened that a
car driver driving at night tried to
overtake another car and simply
didn't see the motorcycle coming
in the other direction — because
the headlights didn't look like car
headlights. So some motorcycle
headlights have been made to look
more like car headlights.
: Any advice for our listeners? |s
this something they can use in
everyday life?
: Sure. Aside from not talking on the
phone while driving, l'd say that
it's important to be aware of how
you're looking at things. How your
expectations of what you'll see
actually blinds you to what's there.
A: So, expect the unexpected?
B: Yes, exactly.

Part 1
Hello everyone and thank you for
coming. This evening I'm going to
talk to you about how to take great
photographs - the Áve secrets that every
good photographer knows and uses. To
be honest, these aren't really secrets, but
hopefully, they'll be new to some of you
and you'll ind them useful.
OK, let's start with a photograph that
includes some of the most common
mistakes that amateurs make ... As you
can see, this photo ¡s a typical snapshot,
the sort where someone got the woman
to pose for the camera. Nothing against
posing, though my preference is for more
natural shots, but in any case there are
several basic errors.
First of all, the picture-taker made sure
the sun was behind him or her, to avoid
sun going into the lens and that's good,
but this way the subject has the sun
blasting on her face, just a flat hard light.
It also means that she can't open her
eyes properly!
Secondly, the subject has been centred
in the frame which leaves a lot of space
at either side of her and creates a pretty
boring and predictable image.
This leads me to the third common
mistake that people make which
concerns the background. We can see
too much background here — the street
scene with parked cars is distracting and
Unattractive.
Fourthly, overall there's too much space
around the subject, the picture takeris
either too far away or has used the wrong
perspective, or both. Leaving too much
space around the subject can make them
appear smaller than you'd like and make
objects in the background too important.
The final thing to check is the angle.
Amateur photographers often stand
higher than their subject which makes
the subject look up - which is not the
best angle to see a face, but ... actually,
in this case, the photographer has got it
right and positioned the camera in line
with the subject's eyes.
You might think 'm being unfair, as
this is just a quick snapshot. But | want
you to see just how simple it is to make
even your family snapshots consistently
good photos.
o oa E
TOTO Recording 3
Part 2
OK, so here are the five key rules.
Rule number one: light from the side. So
ifyouTre outside, notice where the sun
is shining from and position yourself
so that it's to your left or right as you're
facing your subject. IF it's to your side, the
subject won't have that flat hard light
on them, but much more interesting
shadows and shades, which give the
image more depth and contour.
Rule number two is the rule of thirds.
When you're framing a shot, divide the
screen up into thirds both horizontally
and vertically, and think of the four
points where the lines intersect as
centres. Ifyour subject is a face, position
the face at one of these four points. In
other words, place your subject off-centre
to add interest.
Which brings us to rule number three:
think about your background. Avoid
cluttered backgrounds which distract
from the main focus of your photograph.
This may mean positioning yourself in a
particular way so, for example, there are
trees or water or sky behind your subject
and not cars. You can then Use natural
elements in the background to add
texture and pattern.
Rule number four is related to this:
take three steps closer to your subject.
Try to fill the picture with your subject
rather than leaving a lot of air around —
unless the background or surroundings
are important.
And rule number five is to adjust your
height to your subject, so ifthey're much
shorter, for example a child, kneel or
crouch down. The lens and their eyes
should be at about the same level. You'll
be amazed at the difference.
So those are the five rules. Let's look at
another photo of the same person and
see how the rules work in practice.
