Top tips for taking photos

Get to know what your camera can do before you take photos.

Frame your shot carefully.

Be careful with your camera – it isn’t a toy.

Focus (press the button half way) so that you get clear images.

Make sure your subject is well-lit.

Having the subject off-centre can be quite effective.

Keep the camera level and steady.

Take lots of photos – you can delete the ones you don’t like.
