Some basic rules to help you take better pictures.

It's time for add some more light
Sometimes, like at night or when it's a dark, rainy day, there isn't enough natural light. At times like these, you have to use a flash. Check the instructions that came with your camera to find out how to use the flash. Save your batteries by turning the flash off when you're finished. When using a flash indoors, turn on a lamp. If you're photographing a person, tell your subject not to look directly into the camera lens. This will prevent their eyes from looking red in the picture.

 

Don't shoot more film than you have
Maybe what you're seeing right this minute is so incredible, you want to shoot a whole roll of pictures of it. But an hour from now, you might see something else just as great - and you'll want to have enough film to capture it.

 

Learn from other people's ideas
Look at photographs in books, magazines, and newspapers to get ideas for your own photography. Don't try to make your pictures look exactly like the ones you like. Just let them start you thinking: Where and when was this photo taken? Where was the light coming from? Where was the photographer standing?

Don't scare your subject
Don't get too close to your subject (the person or thing you're photographing) most of them are camera's shy. Stand at leas a giant step away (three feet or more) from your subject.

Have a steady hand
Moving your camera while taking your photos may creates fuzzy photos.  Keep your camera and hands very steady. It will help if you hold your arms very close to your chest. Don't tilt the camera. This creates crooked photographs.
