PHOTOGRAPHY+TIPS

SHOOTING TIPS:
 * Try to have the action of the picture or the "lines of force" moving toward the center of the picture.
 * When you're framing the picture, have important lines or objects be one-third of the way in from any border.
 * Climb up on something or lie down on the ground to get a better angle. Always get down to the eye leve of your subjects, especially if they are children or pets
 * Be aware of the natural lighting on a subject. For example, position yourself so that you can use the light from windows to lighten up someone from the side.
 * Avoid staged pictures! Pictures of people posing for the camera, official ribbon cutting ceremonies, official shaking hands, handing the giant check over to someone ...bor-ing.
 * Take multiple pictures at multiple settings to ensure the precise moment and the best exposure
 * Until you get used to shooting professional quality photos, as a general rule, get closer than you think. If what you are shooting is in the middle of the frame, focus in on it or move up to it. In fact, whenever possible, get as close to the action as physical limitations allow.
