To start of with is ten tip's for better picture taking

1. Always have your camera with you . You never know when you will miss that perfect oppertunity to get the picture of a one in a million.

2. Show people doing something. It will add something more than just a face it will give a story to your photograph.

3. Get close to your subject. It will give good detail to an otherwise dull picture and make sure to avoid a busy background it will take away from the subject.

4. Place the subject off center. Don't make your photo look like every one else's be difrent and give it some spice.

5. Look for unusual viewpoints. Stand on a chair or lay on the floor.

6. Look for dramatic lighting. Use a window with the sun shining in to give side shadow tone or backlighting.

7. Include the foreground to add depth to scenic photo's.

8. When using a built-in flash, don't stand further than about 12 feet from the subject. ( See your camera manual for the exact distance.)

9. Take extra pictures of a good subject. You may find that the first one aint what you were wanting but the next or last one is.

10. Read your camera manual. It will give you all kinds of info on what you can and can't do with your camera.
