Barn Buddy Photography Tips

One of the thing that attracted me to BarnBuddy was it's beautiful environment. The graphics they have used in the game is just fantastic. It is always filled with beautiful animals, backgrounds, crops and various decorations.The barn buddy team is trying so hard to increase the beauty in the game's environment. One of the thing they did recently, in order give your farm more beauty, was that they organized a contest. They asked the users to design backgrounds for the game and the winners were rewarded with BarnBuddy credits. As the result of the contest some of fantastic backgrounds were added to barn buddy shops.


Now you know the game has beautiful environment which means you can create some beautiful pictures out of the game so you can share with your friends. I thought of giving you some tips of making beautiful pictures out of your farm. If you are not familiar with taking pictures in you farm, It's the camera icon  located at the top left corner of your farm which let you to take pictures. Click on the camera icon. if you do this for the first time there will be created a new album called Barn Buddy Pictures in your profile and the picture taken by you will be added to that album and published.


Taking a picture of your farm is that simple but there are lot more you can do to create beautiful, meaningful and attractive pictures. Keep reading to learn those tips.


Backgrounds
Background is the first thing you have to consider if you wish to change the look of your farm. Backgrounds as a whole might not seem so beautiful than you zoom it. Look at the following picture. Can you see those colorful clouds in the sky behind the barn? I'm sure you can, but if you haven't zoomed  the picture in you might not notice them. I think you can get the idea what I'm trying to tell you here. It's just this, before you take pictures try to identify beautiful places in the backgrounds and zoom it, place whatever the animals you want in there and take the picture. Here is how I did it. Hope you will like it. :)


Hey did you notice that I have placed my ducks near the pond? That makes sense right? ;) I want you to place right things at right places so that it would make sense and increase the beauty in your farm and the picture you going to take.


What do pandas eat? :) I have placed some bamboo trees near by pandas so it makes sense.






Here are another two pictures I took considering the things that I just taught you.










Follow the link below to see some pictures I created using the Winter Wonderland and Snowy Farm backgrounds.

Crops
When you plant seeds in your farming plots try to make some kind of pattern out of  them.
Have you ever thought of a way to make grow your plants instantly and take pictures of them? Yes you can do it. Believe me! I'm going to teach you how to do that.


First plant the seeds and then change the system time of you computer and wait few seconds until they appear fully grown. Okay let's say you just planted some Daisy seeds and you want to take the pictures of them as they are fully grown. Go to the time and date settings and increase the system time by 8 hours and wait few seconds. Ahha! Here you are!! You will see all the flowers are fully grown and you are ready to take pictures of them.


 Wait a minute! Hey they are fully grown and can I harvest them? I'm question you want to ask me next. Hey I'm sorry! You just can't harvest them if you try to do so they will become seeds once again.


Animals
You know that animals in BarnBuddy farm are not just pictures. They have movements. Try to grab various movements of animals into your picture. Take pictures of a tiger while it's roaring instead of taking pictures  while it is sitting on the ground. To make tiger roar just give it a little click and take the picture before it finished roaring.


Try to make a story out of your picture.




The above two pictures are not just bored pictures. You probably can make a story out of it. Notice two tigers roaring at the ghost and in the next picture The goat ,cock and hens might have seen something fierce.


Take pictures of your farm in such a creative way, and here is the deal. If you have already taken some mind blowing pictures of your farm send them to barnbuddyguru@gmail.com along with your names.We will select best out of them and publish them in this blog.
