Five tips for good photographing

Today, almost every kid has a camera. There are cheap cameras, expensive cameras, automatic cameras, manual cameras, digital cameras, phone cameras and so on.

Many people are not satisfied from their photos. Especialy when they travel - they claim that the pictures don't reflect the beauty and the atmosphere in the places they've been to.

In order to improve your photos, you might want to keep in mind a few rules:

When taking a picture of a person, take it from his height, or lower. Many people take pictures from their own eye level, regardless of the object they're photographing. For example, if you're taking a picture of a child (or a dwarf), kneel down.

If the person you're photographing is looking straight to the camera, the picture will look a little artificial. Tell him to look aside or at something else. If he's looking to the right, place him closer to the left side of the frame. If he's looking left - then to the right.

If it's dark, DON'T USE THE FLASH. The flash brightens only objects close to the camera. The object will be pale, and the background will be completely black. If you still want to photograph in the dark, set the camera on a tripod, and shoot the picture without the flash. Notice that the shooting will take more time.

The flash is good, for example, when you're photographing somebody with the sunset/sunrise in the background. Because the sun is behind him, if you don't use the flash, you will see only his shadow. With the flash, you will be able to see detail in his face.

In some cameras, the lens could be very wide. Anyway, don't photograph people from zero distance. Stand at least a couple of meters away and zoom in.
