Tips for Better Pictures
• Keep your pictures simple.
Move close enough to your
subject so it fills the viewfinder
but not closer than 1.2 m.
• Take pictures at the subject’s
level. Kneel down to take
pictures of children and pets.
• Hold your camera vertically to
capture tall, narrow subjects,
such as a waterfall, skyscraper,
or a single person.
• Add interest to your picture by
framing it with a tree branch, a
window, or even the rails of a
fence.
• Keep the sun behind you. This
provides the best subject
illumination.
