Collect everything  you’ll need into one place. A camera bag is ideal, because it keeps all  your stuff together and lets you carry it all with you. Everything in  its place. A good camera bag will let you organize a miniature tripod,  extra battereis, memory cards, etc. - even a plastic bag or waterproof  housing to protect your camera in wet weather.   Hold your Camera Steady   Blurry photos are almost always the result of camera movement. Just your  own unsteadiness, causes your camera to shake enough to blur your  pictures.   So steady yourself and your camera before you take the shot.   Plant your feet firmly on the ground and tuck your elbows in close to  your sides. Instead of using the LCD viewer, steady your camera against  your forehead and frame the shot using your camera’s viewfinder. You can  also steady your upper body by leaning against a wall or a tree. Or  totally eliminate any camera movement by using a tripod.   Once you’re all set, gently press the shutter release in one motion.  Pressing the shutter release too hard could jerk the camera downward.   Get Closer   One difference in “snapshots” and really great photos is the composition  of the shot. Unless you’re shooting an outdoor landscape, you can  improve most photos just by getting closer to your subject. Depending on  the situation, you can physically move closer to your subject, or use  the zoom feature on your camera for the same effect. Try to get within a  few feet of your subject so you eliminate most of the background.  You’ll like the results.   Take more Pictures   Even professionals take loads of shots of the same subject - to get just  a few that they will use. With a digital camera, you can delete the  images you don’t like, and only print the winners - so don’t hesitate to  take several shots of the same subject. Change the angle of the shot.  Get a little closer. Adjust the lighting.   Why not fill the entire memory card with pictures of your kid at the  pool, or your daughter in her cap and gown? The more pictures you take,  the better the odds that you’ll get a few shots that will really thrill  you.   Vary the Lighting   Using natural light will give better skin tones when photographing  people, so try not to use the flash if you don’t have to. Outdoor  daylight shots are easy, but you’ll have to be a little more creative  when shooting indoors. Try using the light coming in from a window for  warmer tones than you would get using the flash.   Experiment with natural lighting. You can get stronger shadows by moving  your subject closer to a window, and turning your subject can create  more dramatic shadows.   Eliminate Red-Eye   Red-eye is the result of light passing through your subject’s eye and  reflecting back. You’ll get it more often when using your flash, just  because the light from the flash isn’t as diffused as natural light. So  the first tip for eliminating red-eye is simply to avoid using your  flash when you don’t absolutely have to.   Another way to reduce red-eye is to have your subject look anywhere but  at the camera. This reduces red-eye because any reflection isn’t  directed back at your camera lens.   If you have to use the flash, some digital cameras have a built-in feature to automatically remove red-eye. Use it.   Go for Candid   Instead of posing two (or more) people looking directly at the camera,  get a shot of them interacting with one another. Even two people having a  conversation is more interesting than having them stand next to each  other facing the camera. Some of the best professional portraits have  the subject captured deep in thought, with their attention focused  inward, rather than on the camera lens.   It makes a more interesting shot. Your portrait will look more natural - less posed.   Create a Scene   Putting your subject in the center of a photo is just boring. You’ll get  a much more pleasing result if you place your subject off center when  you frame the shot.   This is a truly professional technique. Place your subject so that they  occupy 1/3 to 1/2 of the total composition, but NOT at the exact center  of the frame. Capture an interesting background object in the rest of  the frame.   Anybody can practice these techniques. They’re easy and you’ll get better, more professional photos.</blockquote>
