Keep your camera ready. You don't want to miss that once-in-a-lifetime picture because you forgot your camera. Check the batteries periodically according to the camera manual. Replace batteries at least once a year. Use a photographic cleaning solution and lint-free paper to keep your lens clean.
Get close to your subject.This allows you to focus on your subject and eliminates any distracting backgrounds. When photographing children, get down to the child's level.
Remember some basic composition. The rule of thirds works well as you mentally set up your shots. For example, for an outdoor scene place the horizon 1/3 from the top or 1/3 from the bottom of your viewfinder. When taking a photo of a single subject, like a person, place them in the left 1/3 or right 1/3 of the viewfinder
Be patient.Walk around to get the best angle and light. Take a few moments to walk around and look at the subject. Notice how different angles and light affect how things look through your viewfinder. Waiting for the right moment can help you get some great photos.
Turn your camera.Instead of taking all of your photographs in a horizontal format, turn your camera to capture some shots in a vertical format. You can mount both horizontal and vertical prints in yours Creative Memories album.
Hold your camera steady or use a tripod.Holding the camera steady and pushing the shutter button gently are necessary for sharp, clear pictures. A tripod will hold the camera motionless and allow you to concentrate on the composition of your photos. If your camera has a self-timer, using it with a tripod will allow you to get into the picture.
Use your flash. The flash will provide extra light when used indoors and will fill shadows and brighten colors when used outdoors. Be sure to check your camera manual for information about using your flash. Try to use the fill-flash setting, if available, on your camera or flash.
Reduce red eye.Reduce red eye by increasing the overall lighting in the room, making sure the subject is not looking directly at the camera, and moving the flash further away from the camera lens (this may not be possible on cameras with built in flash, however you can turn off the flash). Use the red eye setting on your camera or flash.
Choose the right film speed.35mm film is available in different film speeds, 100, 200, 400, etc. This number is referred to as ISO. The main difference is the film sensitivity to light. 200-speed film is good for outdoor shots and 400-speed or higher is needed for indoor photos without flash. For action photos (sports events) 400 or 800 speed film will give the best results.
