Better Picture Notes

Step 1: Change your cameras resolution to the highest possible. If you have a smaller quality then change it to fine quality.
Step 2: Change your settings to automatic, if there are problems with the outcome of the picture then change some settings manually.
Step 3: Try to bring your camera everywhere to find more opportunities to take photographs especially outside. Remember to always carry spare batteries.
Step 4: Always keep your lens free from obstruction. Set your white balance on your camera. Also try to keep your ISO speed slower to prevent "noisy" pictures.
Step 5: Make sure you plan out your photo frame before you actually take the shot. Get rid of any distractions but you do not necessarily have to follow these guidelines: Don't be scared to zoom in, try new angles, focus on only certain parts, or try new ways to balance your camera settings.
Step 6: Avoid blurry pictures by: Keeping still, use a tripod if necessary, find different ways to avoid your camera shaking, and lastly try to relax and don't shake when pushing the shutter button.
Step 7: Try to avoid red eye by taking your pictures in a well lit area and if needed point the flash towards their forehead.
Step 8: Stay organized by looking at your photos and make sure you practice, practice, practice.
