Top 5 Tips for Improving your Photos
1. Use a plain background. Simplify your background to keep the focus on your subject.
2. Use your flash outdoors. This will fill-in any unwanted dark shadows on your subjects face.
3. Get down to their level. For pets and small children try taking the photo at their eye level.
4. Take some vertical pictures. Most people forget that you can turn your camera sideways!
5. Move it from the middle. Place you subject off-center for a more dynamic photograph.
