Tips on taking better pictures
1. Center the subject in the picture you want to take of people or pets.
2. Place the subject off center of scenery, buildings, etc for more depth.
3. Do not shoot beyond the range of your flash.
4. Choose the direction of your light source for better results.
5. Use flash outside for cloudy days or to remove shadows.
6. Flip the camera as sometimes vertical shots give a different perspective.
7. Experiment with close-up or macro settings.
8. The use of filters or scenery settings can have amazing results.
9. For night pictures use slower shutter speeds and a tripod.
10. To avoid red-eye pictures have your subject look a bit to the side.
11. To get those spectacular scenery pictures choose sunrise or sunsets.
12. Choose your background and make sure it does not conflict.
13. Frame your subject to draw attention to your picture.
14. Try manual settings to achieve different results.
Choosing the right camera
1. Quality
Higher resolution means better-quality photos and some will rival the quality of top 35 mm cameras.
2. Price
There are some cameras on the market that not only have good quality, but are easy on the pocketbook.
3. Convenience vs Features
Do you want something that is compact and easy to use or more features?
4. Zoom Features
There are two types of zoom - digital zoom and optical zoom. The best is to choose by the best optical zoom rather than digital zoom and 2x to 4x optical zoom is a good start.
5. Memory Options
Some cameras have built in memory which limits the amount of pictures to be stored and others have removable cards or other media options.
6. Battery Requirements
Another thing to consider when buying a camera is the battery option. Some require expensive batteries and others have the option to use rechargeable ones.
6. LCD Screen
Some of the inexpensive cameras do not have the option of an LCD screen and also some have different sizes.
7. Lenses
Do your needs require a camera with interchangeable lenses or will a fixed lens suffice?
8. Point-and-Shoot Camera vs. Professional Camera
Will you be using it for personal use or for business as the more high end cameras also tend to be more expensive?
Megapixels vs image quality
1. More megapixels = more visual noise in the image. If your camera has more megapixels than its sensor can handle, images will be less clear and crisp.
2. You will be wasting disk space on images that are larger than will ever be used. Most users do not use beyond 8x10 prints.
3. Megapixels are not an accurate reflection of a camera’s quality.
4. In conclusion, megapixel count simply reflects the number of pixels it can capture by the million.
We recommend Canon and Nikon cameras for quality and their great customer service.
