Taking
Better Digital Photos
Stay
Close
Get closer to your subject especially if it’s small. Stay within 2-4 feet.
Try not to get more than 5 feet away. You want the focus to be on your
subject. Zoom in, but don’t get too close. Otherwise your digital photos
won’t look clear and they’ll be blurry.
Don’t Place Subject in the Middle
Move your subject from the middle of the picture. Try keeping it on the side
and make it more interesting. Take your time and try different sides. Lock
the focus if you have an auto-focus digital camera as it will most likely
focus on the object in the middle.
Use of Flash
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of a good picture. It has a
strong effect on your digital photo. Your digital camera has a certain flash
range which is usually less than 15 feet. This means that any picture taken
from more than 15 feet distance will be too dark. Try to use natural light
to give a brighter look on people’s faces. Change your angle to find the
best light. Try to reflect the daylight from the side, indirectly on your
subject. Then one side will be light and the other a little darker which
will create a meaningful expression. Early mornings or late afternoons are
the best times to catch a soft natural daylight for taking landscape
pictures.
Be a Director
Be active and take charge when taking your pictures. Move your subjects if
you don’t like their position. Choose the location to place them where you
want, give them directions and your digital photos will start looking more
interesting and attention-grabbing than ever.
