How to take good photos

To take good photos for my cover and contents page, I need to follow some important tips which will lead for better outcome.

•  Look your subject in the eye

Direct eye contact can be as engaging in a picture as it is in real life. When taking a picture of someone, hold the camera at the person's eye level to unleash the power of those magnetic gazes and mesmerizing smiles.

• Use a plain background

Plain background shows off the subject you are photographing. When you look through the camera viewfinder, force yourself to study the area surrounding your subject.

• Use flash outdoors

Bright sun can create unattractive deep facial shadows. Eliminate the shadows by using your flash to lighten the face.

• Lock the focus

Usually you can lock the focus in three steps. First, center the subject and press and hold the shutter button halfway down. Second, reposition your camera (while still holding the shutter button) so the subject is away from the center. And third, finish by pressing the shutter button all the way down to take the picture.

• Watch the light

The most important part of every picture is the light. It affects the appearance of everything you photograph. So make sure there is enough light to make photos bright. You can use Sun light or flash on your camera.
