Tips from professional photographer Janet Boschker on taking pictures: - The most important thing in taking pictures is how to hold the camera. If you move your camera, it will make your pictures fuzzy. Hold the camera so that it is steady when you push the button.
- If you want your picture to go up and down, hold your camera this way (figure A).
- If you want your picture to go across longways, hold your camera this way (figure B).
- The composition is what you include in the boundaries of the frame. When you look through the viewfinder, look all around and find what you want to include in your picture.
- When choosing your background, make sure you don't have things like signs that have writing on them that would make people look at them instead of your dog or cat, etc. Be sure that there is not a tree growing out of someone's head, or other weird things. Simplify the background.
- Use the flash if you are inside and there is not a lot of sunlight. Also, if you are out in the middle of the day and the sun is casting a lot of harsh shadows, then you want to use the flash (this is called fill-in flash). It will even out the lighting so you won't have lots of dark shadows around the eyes, etc.
