ABC's of Photography
I just came across this and there are some great tips for anyone who likes to photograph the events in their lives and those who enjoy scrapbooking especially.
Quick ABC's of Photography
By Marcy Larsen
Follow these ABC's of photography and you will have beautiful pictures to add to your scrapbooks. Capture adorable and memorable details of the special event in your life by following these easy steps. If you try one or two new ideas each time you break out the camera, you will soon find yourself snapping photos in exciting ways. People will be amazed at the beautiful images and fun moments you capture with your photo skills.
A Angles
Take your photos from above or below your subject. Some of the best shots are taken sitting on a chair or kneeling on the ground.
B Backlit
For a glowing silhouette effect, have your subject stand in front of a widow or sunny sky. Be sure to use your flash with this one.
C Chronology
Take pictures form the beginning to the end of each event, rather than isolating short to "picture taking time"
D Diagonal Lines
Arrange people to form a visual triangle to create balance and a sense of movement in your pictures.
E Everyone
Make sure you include everyone at the event in pictures. Write names down in a notebook so you don't forget the names.
F Frames
Draw attention to your subject by using frames such as windows, fence posts, and railing.
G Groups
Take pictures in groups such as siblings, grandparents, cousins etc.
