PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
These general tips will help you improve the quality of the
photos you shoot. Because this is a digital camera, it’s easy
to experiment and try different techniques. If you don’t like the
results, you can delete the pictures and try again.
There are many factors that contribute
to good photography:
- Take lots of pictures to increase your chance of capturing just
the right shot. Afterward, you can go back and delete the
pictures you don't want.
- Make sure that the source of light is behind or to the side of the
camera, rather than in front of the camera. The person taking
pictures should not be looking into a light source.
- When taking a picture, hold the camera as steady as
possible to prevent blurry photos. Try resting your elbows
on something stable.
- If you are taking a picture of a person, try to get direct eye
contact with the person to create a more engaging picture.
- Using a plain background will put more emphasis on the
subject of your picture. When taking a picture make sure to
notice what is in the background of your photo.
- Try using a different angle to capture an ordinary object to
make the picture more interesting.
