Pictures without

 Emotion appeals to
the reader –
smiling, frowning,
sad, happy.

 Shoot
from all
angles:
 Stand on a chair
(safely), lay on the
ground, kneel,
stand, raise the
camera above your
head.
 Shoot
from all
points of the

more than

 NEVER
use a flash.
Make sure the
flash is turned OFF

it is a violation of

 Dress professionally.
If you are dressed to

Aperature:
refers to the opening of a
lens's diaphragm through
which light passes. It is
calibrated in f/stops and is
generally written as numbers
such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8,
11 and 16.


How Aperture Affects
Shutter Speed
The f/stop also affects
shutter speed. Using a low
f/stop means more light is
entering the lens and
therefore the shutter doesn't
need to stay open as long to
make a correct exposure
which translates into a faster
shutter speed. Again, the
reverse is true: using a high
f/stop means that less light is
entering the lens and
therefore the shutter will
need to stay open a little
longer which translates into a
slower shutter speed.

Always stick to fast
shutter speeds.

A fast shutter speed could
be considered anything
over 1/500th of a second.
But modern digital
cameras go much faster
than this. If you have a
digital SLR you may well
be able to select shutter
speeds up to 1/8,000th of
a second – incredibly fast!
 What
this means is
that the shutter
opens for just
1/8,000th of a
second. In this brief
moment, time is
frozen. As a
photographer you
can use this brief
moment creatively
to capture
movement.

For outdoor shots in daylight,
low-sensitivity ISO 100 is all
you need because there is
ample light. ISO becomes
more important in low-light
conditions. If you don't want
to use a flash, one solution is
to slow down the shutter
speed to let in more light.
The danger is that your
subject (or your hand) will
move while the shutter is
open, causing a blurred
image. But if you raise the
ISO speed, the increased
sensitivity allows you to keep
a fast shutter speed.

In other words: high ISO for
sports.
