Taking good pictures is
something anyone can do
with any camera, if you
practice enough and avoid
some common mistakes.
You don’t have to buy a
spiffy new camera. As
you can see this
background picture which
I took using my phone.

Set the camera's
resolution to take high
quality photos at the
highest resolution
possible.
Start with setting
your camera to one
of its automatic
modes, if you have a
choice.

Take your camera everywhere.
Go outside.
Motivate yourself to
get out and take
photographs in
natural light.
Use camera as your possession, you
will start to see the world differently:
you will look for and find
opportunities to take great
photographs. This is why you will
end taking more photographs. The
more you take, the better a
photographer you will become.

Keep the lens clear of caps,
thumbs, straps and other
obstructions. Set your white balance.
Set a slower ISO speed, if
circumstances permit.

1. Compose your shot
thoughtfully
2. Ignore the advice
above
Use the
Rule of
Thirds. Get
rid of
distracting
backgrounds
and clutter.
Regard the above
as laws, which work
much of the time but
are always subject to
judicious interpretation
— and not as absolute
rules.
3. Fill the frame with
your subject
4. Try an interesting angle
Do not be
afraid to
get closer
to your
subject.
Instead of shooting
the object straight
on, try looking down
to the object, or
crouching and
looking up.
Poor focusing is one
of the most common
ways that
photographs are
ruined. Use the
automatic focus of
your camera, if you
have it; usually, this
is done by half-
pressing the shutter
button.
5. Focus
ISO is how sensitive your camera is to light, shutter
speed is how long it takes for your camera to take a
picture (which in turn alters the amount of light coming
in), and aperture is how dilated the lens of your camera
is. Not all cameras have this, mostly only digital
photography cameras. By balancing these and keeping
them as close to the middle as possible, you can avoid
the noise caused by high ISO, the blurriness caused by
low shutter speed, and the depth of field side effects
caused by low aperture.
6. Balance in ISO, shutter
speed, and aperture

6 Avoiding Blurry Photos

1. Keep still 2. Consider using a tripod
Many people are
surprised at how
blurry their pictures
come out when
going for a close-
up, or taking the
shot from a
distance. To
minimize blurring: If
you're using a full-
sized camera with
a zoom lens, hold
the camera body
(finger on the
shutter button) with
one hand, and
steady the lens by
cupping your other
hand under it.
If your hands are
naturally shaky, or if
you're using large (and
slow) telephoto lenses,
or if you're trying to take
photographs in low light,
or if you need to take
several identical shots in
a row (such as with
HDR photography), or if
you're taking panoramic
photos, then using a
tripod is a good idea.
3. Consider not using a
tripod, especially if you do
not already have one.
4. If you are in a situation
where it would be nice to
use a tripod, but you don't
have a tripod at the time
A tripod infringes on
your ability to move
around, and to
change the framing
of your shot rapidly.
It is also more
weight to carry
around, which is a
disincentive to getting
out and taking
photographs.
Turn on image
stabilization on your
camera. Zoom out (or
substitute a wider
lens) and get closer.
Hold the camera at
two points away from
its center, such as
the handle near the
shutter button and the
opposite corner, or
toward the end of the
lens. Squeeze the
shutter slowly,
steadily, and gently,
and do not stop until
shortly after the
picture has taken.
Brace the camera
against something.
Prop the camera on
something
Try not to hold
the camera up for
too long; this will
cause your hands
and arms to be
shakier. Practice
bringing the
camera up to
your eye,
focusing and
5. Relax when you push
the shutter button

Avoid red eye
Use your flash judiciously, and do
not use it when you don't have to
If you do not intend the flash to be the
primary light source in the picture, set it up
to give correct exposure at an aperture a
stop or so wider than that which is otherwise
correct and which you use for the exposure
(which depends on the ambient light
intensity and the shutter speed, which
cannot be above the flash-sync speed). This
can be done by choosing a specific stop with
a manual or thyristor flash, or by using "flash
exposure compensation" with a fancy
modern camera.
Red-eye is caused when your eyes
dilate in lower lighting. When your
pupils are big, the flash lights the
blood vessels on the back wall of your
eyeball, which is why it looks red. If
you must use a flash in poor light, try
to get the person to not look directly
at the camera, or consider using a
"bounce flash".

Look for what makes the best photos
and continue using the methods that
got the best shots. Don't be afraid to
throw away or delete photos, either.
Before you delete them, remember
you can learn a lot from your worst
photos; discover why they don't look
good, then don't do that.
Go through your photos
and look for the best ones
Practice, practice, and practice
The more pictures you take, the better you will get, and the
more you (and everyone) will like your pictures.
Shoot from new or different angles, and find new subjects to
take pictures of, and keep at it. You can make even the most
boring, everyday thing look amazing if you're creative
enough about photographing it.
Get to know your camera's limitations, too; how well it
performs in different kinds of lighting, how well auto-focus
performs at various distances, how well it handles moving
subjects, and so on.
