10 Tips BEFORE you edit1. Get Closer
Look through the viewfinder! Professionals typically use long lenses (85-105mm) Most point and shoot cameras have 35mm lenses.
2. Include People in your Shots Add atmosphere and context. Makes the subject easier to relate toGives a sense of scale
3. Capture Action Keep the people movingTry to 'catch the moment'

5. Put the Subject Off-Centered Place the main subject off the centerProfessionals use a 'rule-of-thirds'
6. Vary the Angle Can add humor and dramaThere are many other possibilities

Basics of Cropping• “Casually” crop in the camera’s viewfinder• Plan to “tighten-up” later on• Cutting-off heads is quite acceptable

Red Eye removalWhere does the red come from?Light from the flash passing through the pupil and being reflected on the blood-rich retina
How it happens:•Flash (built-in) is close to the lens•More pronounced with a telephoto lens•Getting close to the subject•More common in dark rooms or in the dark
Effect is less dramatic when a person's reactions are impaired, e.g. during a night on the town
But…Don’t shoot and drive!
