A couple essentials coming from a photographer:
–Bring a tripod
*Saves you from those blurry photos because of shaky hands
*Good for self portraits
*If tripod to no avail, keep the camera as still as possible
–Don’t always use the “Auto” settings on the digital camera
*Cameras will sometimes lower picture quality, thus giving you grainer pictures, to accommodate the particular setting you are in (typically when there is low light)
*If you adjust it yourself and if set correctly, which require some knowledge of photography such as ISO, Shutter Speed, White Balance, etc., it will produce better pictures than the Auto function
*In daylight, “Auto” setting usually does the job.
–Avoid using flash
*Flash gives an unpleasant white exposure to the picture, making the colors look unnatural.
*Only if really needed, such as in a low-light or dark room, you will need it.
*Flash also minimizes blurriness that occurs in low-lit areas, but you sacrifice picture quality(the ugly white-exposure)
*I suggest a reflector that bounces the flash up instead of forward, which will produce some fairly decent pictures using flash.
–Make sure the subject you are taking a picture of is still (to avoid blurriness)
*Jerks or movements is usually the main cause for picture blurriness, so make sure whatever you are taking a picture of isn’t moving.
*Typically not a problem during the daylight, but a big problem in low-light areas.
If you are curious what to do with the ISO, shutter speed, or white balance settings, here ya go:
ISO: Sensitivity to light
*higher number >> brighter pictures >> grainier pictures
(ISO 800 and above for digital cameras start showing grainy pictures)
*lower number >> darker pictures >> clean, well defined pictures
(ISO 400 and below should give decent to best quality pictures)
Shutter Speed: how long the shutter opens (in seconds) your camera takes the picture
*Displayed in fractions
*May or may not be a setting in digital cameras (except for SLRs)
*Higher the value, like 1/20, the brighter the picture, but prone to blur
*Lower the value, like 1/160, the darker the picture, and reduces blur
White Balance: the color tone of the picture
*You can probably go figure on this one
*Different white balances like Black and White, Sepia, etc..gives different color tones for each picture.
Take your time.
When you see something interesting, take the shot you think you should take. Then think about it and take more photos – try to change the orientation to vertical, lay on the ground and shoot up, get on a fence and shoot down on an object. Walk away from where you are to show from a different perspective.
You might have better luck in the Photography group. This group is about cameras.
