34. Basic Tips for Taking Good Photography
Whether you are using a point – and – shoot camera or a DSLR , there are
basic guidelines for capturing a good quality photographic image :
1. Choose a good location. An interesting location can sometimes make
the difference between a good and great photo.
2. Check that the available background is relatively simple and not too
cluttered , so that the focus will be on your chosen subject.
3. Natural lights in the outdoors or near a window is usually the most
flattering or effective for any kind of subject. Ideally , the best light for
photos is within the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before
sunset.
4. Avoid taking shots facing the light, as this would make your subject back
- lit and most of the details would be lost in shadow.

35. 5. If you intend to take a posed shot, position your subject where you
want in relation to the location, background, and source of light.
6. If you intend to take a candid shot, position yourself where you can
capture the most interesting, amusing, touching, or engaging moment
or expression.
7. Take a variety of shots – ranging from far shots showing the
surroundings, to medium – distance shots concentrating on the main
subject, to tight or close – up shots that focus on details of the
subject. You can then choose from among all these for the best photo
or photos.
