5 common tips for taking photos

Today, I'm gonna give you 5 common tips for taking photos. Let's take a look at the tips.

  1. Relax - When you take photo, try to be as natural as you can. Don't force the subjects. Let them relax and fall into a natural pose. If possible, follow their interest place - the place they comfortable
  2. Get Close - Take photo with full image. Make the photo fix your camera/LCD screen. Remember, always use camera's zoom (depends on your camera - refer to your camera's
    manual) or step in close to your subjects
  3. Candid pictures - This is important. Do not always ask your subjects to pose staring at the camera. Try to make variety on the photos. Candid photos show that they are moving
    (not static), playing, talking or doing something.
  4. Use Natural Light - Weather can be the best lighting for photos. Bright sun makes people squint. On Overcast day, soft light flatters faces. Try not to use flash when you are in house, use light coming in from a window to make people look soft
  5. Self timer - I'm sure you might want to have your own photo with your friends. Use self timer at your camera to allow you to join your friends. For this purpose, you need to refer your camera's manual.

Ok guys, that's all for today. I hope you get something new today and hope you enjoy the day.
