Top Ten Tips

Kodak Top Ten Tips
1.)Get down on their level, when you are talking photos of kids and animals you should get down to their level at eye level.
2.)Use a plain background, before taking the photo check what is behind the object. A cluttered area is distracting and a plain background you could see the object better.
3.)Use flash outdoors, when using the flash in the bright sun it will lighten the shadows of the object.
4.)Move in Close, when your are taking photos of small object like flowers you should get really close to the object so there is no background distracting.
5.)Take some vertical Pictures, it looks better if your take vertical pictures like if your were taking a photo of a tower you wouldn't want to take it horizontal because it wouldn't show the whole object.
6.)Lock the focus, when your are taking a picture of an object that is not in the middle you should push down the shudder button half way and re-frame your picture still holding down the shutter button and then when its in good focus push it down all the way.
7.)Move it from the middle, to bring your photos to life move it way from the center.
8.)know your flash's range, if your object is to far from the camera's flash it will be dark, so don't get to far from the object.
9.)Watch the light, make sure your have good light when taking pictures of people.
10.) Be a pictures director, arrange your objects the way you like it don't just take any picture try to take a good photo.
