When you’re taking photos of a person, its important that you don’t crop the shot at a person’s joints (wrist, elbow, knee, ankle, etc.)

Expand your photographic horizons by renting a lens you don’t own and normally don’t have access to, such as an ultra-wide-angle, fisheye, super telephoto or fast lens. Try photographing cityscapes with the wide-angle or use the super-telephoto at a nature preserve; and a fast lens can be used for practically any subject.

At your next family get together, designate one of the kids as photographer for the day. You might just be surprised at the unique viewpoint the images have.

If you have someone helping you photograph kids or pets, have them stand as close to the camera as possible, otherwise your subject may be looking at them and not at the camera. They can also aid you in getting thise elusive smiles.

This is a great assignment from my lessons in school. Beginners and Amateurs have often shot very little with film. Because a roll of 35mm film was limited to, at most, 36 shots, good photographers had to be frugal in choosing when to shoot. Digital photographers often shoot frames indiscriminately. Give yourself an assignment and […]

If your able to, having someone assist you when photographing kids is helpful. This way you can stay with the camera while your helper runs after the kids and gets them back onto the “set”. Its also nice for those lovely kids that are shy, have your assistant make faces or run around with a […]
