10 tips to help with you photography

Here is a short but helpful list.

1. Look your subject in the eye
Don't look down at your subject, move down to there point of view
2. Use a plain background
Watch out for object that might be comming out of there heads
3. Use flash outdoors
Fill flash
4. Move in close
Fill your frame with action
5. Move it from the middle
An affliction I call center-focus-itis
6. Lock the focus
Helps with number 5
7. Know your flash's range
If you can't light them your just taking photos of shadows
8. Watch the light
Evening light can look very dramatic, keep in mind number 7 and 3
9. Take some vertical pictures
If you don't, it's just wasted space on the sides. Keep in mind number 4
10. Be a picture director
Some people get stiff when they know the camera is on them. Have them do something

Hope these help and we'll be going over them in detail later on.
