A camera is something you must have on your persons during the holidays, or when you are out on an outing. Be it digital, film or professional, there are a lot of camera models out there for you to choose from! However, photography is not as simple as you think it is, so here’s some advice for you to start taking better pictures this holiday season!

Close-up or landscape?

There are many ways in which you can photograph a person: you can choose to have a close-up where the focus of the photo stays mainly on the person, or a landscape photograph where the person remains part of a larger picture. When you are taking a close-up of a person, take care not to cut the person’s head or feet off! If you are only taking part of one person, cut the photo above the knee or just under the shoulders. Alternatively, you can focus on his face to emphasize his expression!

Flash advice!

* If you wish to photograph someone, make him stand behind a clear and simple background so that he will stand out.

* Ensure that there is no road signals or moving vehicles in the background that will “disturb” the photograph.

* When you are photographing the whole person, remember to leave a little space above the head, so that the photograph can “breathe”. If not, the photograph may appear too “crammed”.

* When taking photographs, hold the camera at the eye level.

* If you photograph someone before a monument, make sure that both your subject and the monument can be seen clearly before you press the shutter!

* Most cameras have built-in flashes. In full sunlight, in case you are back facing the sun, it is better to use the flash to eliminate any dark shadows that may be cast on your subjects. The flash helps to illuminate the subjects in both bright and low light condition. For landscape shots, it is better not to use the flash so that the beauty of the entire landscape is taken.

If you are using a digital camera, avoid using the viewfinder and look through the LCD screen instead. This is because most camera viewfinders don’t share the same lenses as the camera lenses, so the resulting shot may be a lot more spacious than what you detect in the viewfinder.
