20 Guide to better pictures

Picture-taking tips

Color

(pictures 14, 17)

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).
