Photography Tips

From your tech class, here are some pointers for great photos.

1) Experiment - Use different positioning, tilt the camera, go high, go low
2) Background - Make sure that your background compliments your subject. Be aware of colour, lighting, people in the background and possible distractions.
3) Hold the camera steady. Use two hands, a tripod if possible or a steady post.
4) Get in close. Try to use the zoom minimally.
5) Take lots of photos. You can then discard the rubbish.
6) Balance your shots of people, places and things.
7) Use focal lock to focus on the subject of your picture.
8) Learn the different modes of your camera and what they do. Choose the appropriate mode for your shot.
