The most important "tricks" for me... *PIC*

In Response To: Tricks for Taking good pictures??? ()

1) Patience - Don't rig up your camera if you are in a hurry.

2) Use a tripod - The blur comes from shaking the camera and throwing it off focus when depressing the shutter.

3) As much light as you can get - Low light will give you either shaken pictures because of long exposure or too narrow depth of field because the aperture will be wide open. Be careful with mixed light sources or hot light along with daylight. Mixtures will cast a color on your pictures.

4) You can never have enough black and white reflectors. Nothing is too silly. Notice the Pampers box and the diskettes in the image below. Also see the black board that I hid the camera behind.

5) Learn about correct exposure. Digital pictures that are too bright or too dark can't easily be adjusted in the digital darkroom due to their poor contrast range.
