I'm assigned to shoot talent show in high school indoor theatre. It's a typical theatre for performance. The 4 foot high stage is setup at the lowest point of the theatre. I would like to know the best position to shoot the performance since I.m free to walk around the theather. Shall I shoot from the high position ? from the front row which is 4 foot below the stage or from a position that is level with stage floor ? for best result ?
Shoot at the final rehearsal, and this problem doesn't arise. You can move right up to the edge of the stage, and possibly even on it, amidst the performers. These are usually my best shots. Take notes on which side of the stage each actor / group performs. This will be useful later.
WRT shooting from the last row, I don't like that position at all. There are several reasons. First, all your shots have essentially the same perspective, ie, 90 degrees plus or minus a few degrees to the stage, and far from it, so the people towards the front of the stage have the same height as the performers at the rear of the stage. I find this boring and odd. In addition, you usually have the least interesting light from a rear-of-the-theatre position, whereas if you are shooting from the wings, you are usually shooting with cross lighting or nearly so. If you are in a center seat in the 1st row, when shooting to your left, the right side of the actors' faces will generally be illuminated and visa versa for shooting towards your right. It's only when you shoot center stage action do you have the light in the same direction as you are shooting.
So, as I said in my earlier post, because of the above problems, I typically only shoot for a few minutes from the back of the house because this position does give a perspective not available elsewhere and breaks up a long series of close-up shots, no matter how interesting they may be. For example, back-of-the-house is very appropriate for big crowd scenes, curtain calls, etc.
Before we begin, I have to mention that these poses might feel weird, but trust me you are going to look amazing. My favorite go-to pose is walking toward the camera. In fact, many professional models will do this on photoshoots because it looks so natural.
Going out to coffee, brunch, or dinner at a restaurant? Why not make a photoshoot out of it. Taking a photo in a restaurant offers a fun new pose for your pictures (plus you can eat and drink, and I am here for that).
The object-position CSS property specifies the alignment of the selected replaced element's contents within the element's box. Areas of the box which aren't covered by the replaced element's object will show the element's background.
The first image is positioned with its left edge inset 10 pixels from the left edge of the element's box. The second image is positioned with its right edge flush against the right edge of the element's box and is located 10% of the way down the height of the element's box.
To best represent your products and services, you can upload up to 20 diverse, high-quality images that are relevant to your keywords. Image asset must follow a strict set of creative guidelines without exceptions. Make sure you review the guidelines below before creating your image asset to avoid disapprovals. Images must also meet image asset format requirements.
All data is assigned to links in the element (or rather, to the URL that each link points to). Click, impression, and position data are attributed to the canonical URL of the link. A canonical URL is basically the URL that Google chooses as the URL that best represents a page, when multiple URLs point to what is essentially the same page (for example, if a site has separate URLs for the mobile and desktop versions of a page). See more details.
Impressions are important because someone needs to see a link to your property in order to click to visit it. However, you should aim not simply for more impressions, but meaningful impressions. This means being seen by people who will find your information useful and worth reading. Being seen, or clicked, by people who don't find your content useful and will quickly leave is not a healthy way to build website traffic and loyalty. Whoever said "there's no such thing as bad publicity" didn't have their user's best interests in mind.
A Google Search results page is composed of many search result elements. The "position" metric is an attempt to show approximately where on the page a given link was seen, relative to other results on the page. In Search Console, the metric is shown as average position, which averages the position value for all impressions (because the position of the link will be different each time it is seen).
Each element in Search results occupies a single position, whether it contains a single link or many different links or child elements. In most Search results, all links in the element occupy the same position--that of the containing element. However, in a few compound elements, such as List/detail rich results, the position reported might be the position within the container, not the rank of the container itself. Read the details for your specific element type to get more details. If your element type is not described here, assume that the element position level applies to all links within each element.
The position value shown in the Performance report is the topmost position occupied by a link to your property or page in search results, averaged across all queries in which your property appeared.
The position value is a complex metric that can be misleading if you don't understand the subtleties. For example, in the previous diagram, the knowledge panel in position 6 has the largest value on the page, which might seem bad, but in fact it appears in a very prominent position. Furthermore, in image search, the number of results shown per row and page depends on the width of the screen and other factors, so the position describes only very roughly how far down the image appeared.
As you can see, a position number can mean different things in different situations, and so you should not make simple assumptions. We recommend that you monitor change in position over time, particularly sudden position changes, as well as absolute position.
Position value is the average position for all searches. For your specific search your position might be different than the average because of many variables, such as your search history, location, and so on.
Google Search pages are very complex, and trying to determine a position for any given element is not very straightforward. In Search results, only elements containing at least one non-query-refinement link occupy a position. Elements that have no links, or have only query refinement links, do not occupy a position. For example, a carousel of van Gogh paintings, in which each image opens a "query refinement" (a new Google search) is not counted as a position placeholder, and the carousel presence does not affect the position value of elements below it on the page. If a non-positional carousel had appeared in the example above above the AMP page carousel (at position 2), it would not affect the position values anywhere on the page.
On the other hand, some image thumbnails in the main search page do (eventually) lead to a web page (perhaps after an extra click to expand it), and so count as a position placeholder. For example, a featured snippet has a link to the source property, and so it (typically) occupies position 1. Note that ads do not occupy a search position.
If you click on a link within Search results that performs a new query, this is called a query refinement. For example, if you search for "cat breeds" the results might include a gallery of photos of different breeds. Clicking one of the images in the gallery performs a new query for the chosen breed, but doesn't leave Google Search.
If a user follows a query refinement link they are essentially performing the new query shown in the search terms box. All impression, position, and click data in the new result page are counted as coming from this new user query.
Click, impression, and position data for all variations of a page are assigned to the canonical URL that Google selects for each page (although in some cases data might be assigned to the actual URL, rather than the canonical URL). This means that even if you have separate URLs for the mobile and desktop version of a page, all click data will be assigned to the same URL in the Performance report. This way, you don't have to manually add all data for your mobile URLs to the equivalent desktop URLs to see how your page is performing. (Note that you can add a filter in the report to split your data by device or other category, if you choose).
If a list view item has multiple providers, only the first provider is shown. For example, if a job is available through 3 different agencies, only the first agency in the provider list is shown (and gets an impression) in list view. In list view, only one provider is shown for each list item. This is the URL credited with the click, impression, and position.
In search analytics data, an image is simply a link to the URL of the host page. This means that Search Console doesn't distinguish between different images on the same page; all are considered identical links as far as clicks, impressions, and position are concerned.
In the image search results page, a wider screen shows more results per row. Because the number of images per row varies depending on the screen size as well as each image's width, it can be hard to judge the exact meaning of a position value in image search results.
