20 Guide to better pictures
Picture-taking tips Color
Vibrant, bold colors are vividly reproduced on Spectra
film (picture 14). Look for color when framing the scene
in the viewfinder. Colorful props such as toys or flowers
can add interest to the scene.
Distance
You can take the most pleasing pictures of people
when they are 3 to 5 feet (0.9m to 1.5m) from the camera
(picture 15). Backgrounds become less distracting and
attention focuses on your subjects.
Background
Indoors, try to have a light-colored background.
Outdoors, keep the background simple (picture 16).
Composition
When photographing landscapes, include something in
the foreground to establish a feeling of depth or dimension
(picture 17).
