Photography Tips
Taking good photographs depends more upon a person's technique than on the
camera they use. By following a few simple steps, anyone can get the most from
their camera.
-
Keep your camera's lens clean by using a lint-free cloth.
-
When it is time to take the
photograph, take a firm stance, hold your breath, and squeeze the shutter
gently. This will help prevent camera shake, which can result in a slightly
blurred photo.
-
Use a tripod or monopod to hold the
camera steady for slower shutter speeds.
-
If your photos sometimes appear
blurry, and you are certain the camera was held steady for the shot, you may
be unknowingly obscuring the autofocus windows. If your fingers, hair,
camera strap, etc. are in front of these windows near the flash, you could
be shutting down the autofocus system.
-
If you know you will be taking fast
action photos, try shooting with film speeds of 200, 400 or higher to allow
for faster shutter speeds.
-
When photographing running water,
slower speed films will help to blur the water's movement giving the photo a
feeling of motion.
-
Remember to turn your camera and
take vertical shots when conditions call for it, such as photographing
people or buildings, when you want all of the subject in the shot.
